Chapter 24: The Head of the Larson Family
At this very moment, within the grand ancestral mansion of the Larson family, an atmosphere of timeless elegance and refined tradition filled every corner. The estate was adorned with deep burgundy-hued solid wood furniture that lent the rooms a rich warmth and dignified charm. The walls were decorated with exquisite paintings crafted by celebrated artists, each piece adding a layer of artistic grace to the surroundings. Intricately carved wooden windows and doors featured classic lattice designs, their polished surfaces reflecting the mansion’s blend of heritage and sophistication.
The vast great hall was carefully arranged with antique vases, delicate scroll paintings, and finely handcrafted ornaments, all placed with meticulous care to honor the family’s deep cultural roots. The air was thick with history and quiet grandeur.
Near the towering floor-to-ceiling windows that looked out onto the courtyard, a man sat quietly at a tea table. His composure was serene, a subtle smile playing on his lips as he moved with effortless grace while handling the delicate tea set. He lifted a freshly brewed cup, inhaling the fragrant aroma before pouring the tea with practiced ease. Wiping his fingers gently with a napkin, his calm expression betrayed nothing of the storm beneath.
“Has the incident involving my father earlier today been thoroughly investigated?” His voice was light, yet carried an unmistakable authority that demanded attention.
Standing respectfully before him, a man dressed in black responded promptly, “Boss, the investigation is complete. It appears Miss Mia was behind it—she intended to embarrass Miss Olivia but accidentally ended up injuring your father.”
Leaning back comfortably in his chair, crossing one leg over the other, the man’s hands rested loosely on his abdomen as he spoke again, his tone still soft but with an edge beneath it. “Now that the truth is known, invite Miss Mia over as a guest.” His smile deepened, but there was a chilling undercurrent to his words. “It’s not right to owe anyone, don’t you agree? It’s better to settle such debts properly.”
Though the words seemed innocuous, the intent behind them was anything but. The man in black stiffened slightly but quickly recovered, replying, “Understood, Chief. I’ll handle it immediately.” With that, he swiftly exited the room.
A middle-aged man standing quietly behind the seated figure spoke cautiously, “Boss, should we also look into Miss Harrington?”
The young man rose from his seat and slid his hands into his pockets as he moved toward the expansive windows, gazing out with a calm, composed demeanor. Yet beneath that gentle exterior lay a formidable presence: Jacob Larson, the CEO of the Axen Group.
Though the Axen Group’s headquarters were located in Solara, the origins of the company remained shrouded in mystery. While the Lewis family was known as the wealthiest in Solara, even they showed deference to the Larsons, never daring to cross their path.
Whispers circulated about a long-ago incident when an aristocratic family had provoked Jacob Larson. The very next day, that family was utterly wiped from existence, erased completely. This dark episode only added to the aura of power and enigma surrounding the Axen Group.
Jacob had already heard the full story about Lillian from his father’s personal bodyguard. The sudden appearance of this young girl had piqued his curiosity profoundly.
