Larissa's Game of Thrones (Larissa) novel Chapter 765

Avril’s friend, the group admin, chimed in: [Ms. Judson, Milton just left the group.]

Someone else added: [Not just that, I heard he’s planning to leave the country.]

Larissa clicked her tongue.

Haskell, who had been resting with his eyes closed, opened them at the sound. “What’s wrong?”

After hanging up, Arlo Lester’s face darkened. He immediately called his butler. “What is Milton doing?”

“He’s packing his bags, sir. He said he’s going on vacation abroad.”

“Stop him,” Arlo ordered. “Lock him in his room. He’s not to leave the house for the next three days.”
