Larissa's Game of Thrones (Larissa) novel Chapter 730

“Haskell, Larissa’s in danger!” Avril cried, clutching his sleeve.

Haskell, however, remained perfectly calm. A clumsy brute like Vivica stood no chance of harming Larissa. He knew Larissa was simply letting this play out. If she hadn’t wanted Vivica here, the woman would never have made it past the front gate.

But Larissa didn’t need to lift a finger. Before Vivica could reach her, Kiernan, who was closest, swung his cane and knocked the knife from her hand.

“Paxton, control your wife!” he roared, slamming the cane on the floor.

Disarmed but not defeated, Vivica fumbled in her purse and pulled out a small glass bottle. She yanked out the stopper and prepared to throw its contents at Larissa.

But before she could, Crispin was there, snatching the bottle from her grasp. He glanced at the clear, odorless liquid.

“Should be acid.”

Enraged, Kiernan rose and began beating Vivica with his cane. “If you harm a single hair on my granddaughter’s head, I’ll make sure your entire family pays for it!”

The moment the attack began, Sapphira had thrown her arms around Larissa, while Neville stepped in front of them both like a shield.

Larissa, a silver needle already poised between her fingers, quietly lowered her hand. She could have easily stopped Vivica herself, but seeing her parents instinctively protect her filled her heart with a profound warmth.

“Grandpa, stop hitting her! If you have to hit someone, hit me! Mom’s been through enough…” Leopold cried, scrambling over to shield Vivica with his body.

Vivica froze. After weeks of living in a waking nightmare, her second son’s concern gave her a renewed sense of hope.

“He still cares!” she thought. “My sons, my husband—they all still care about me! Larissa was lying, trying to turn me against them! It was Larissa who kidnapped me, not Paxton!”

But Kiernan didn’t stop. He ordered Jett to pull Leopold aside and continued to strike Vivica.

Even through the pain, Vivica screamed, “Larissa, you monster! I will have my revenge, even if it kills me! And as for these shameless parents you’ve adopted, I’ll get them too! If I can’t be happy, neither will any of you! I’ll haunt you for the rest of your lives!”

Sapphira reluctantly released her, her eyes still fixed on Vivica being dragged away.

Larissa gently rubbed Kiernan’s back until his breathing steadied, then produced two silver needles and inserted them into his temples.

Leopold got to his feet. “Grandpa, are you okay…?”

He tried to approach but was blocked by Jett.

Kiernan spat out two words: “Get out.”

Leopold froze.

“Tell me,” Kiernan demanded, his breath returning, “who played that video?”
