Larissa's Game of Thrones (Larissa) novel Chapter 32

Larissa put her phone away. “Grandpa, it’s one thing for her to insult me, but she also claimed my parents only adopted me for the inheritance. I suspect that’s an idea Uncle Paxton and Aunt Vivica put in her head.”

At this, Paxton’s eyes narrowed into a deadly glare aimed straight at Larissa.

“Don’t look at me like that, Uncle Paxton. You’re scaring me,” Larissa said, shrinking back into Sapphira’s arms.

Sapphira hugged her tightly, her voice colder than ever. “The situation is perfectly clear. Your adopted daughter provoked Larissa and said a number of cruel things.”

Neville looked at Honora with disgust. “Sapphira and I took Larissa in because we love her, not for any inheritance.”

Sapphira pressed on. “And another thing. Your adopted daughter said you brought Larissa back to marry Haskell in her place. Is that true?”

She hadn’t planned to expose this in front of Kiernan, but after this ugly confrontation, even if Larissa was willing to go through with it, she wouldn’t let her be a silent victim.

“Is this true?” Kiernan’s face was terrifyingly dark.

Vivica stayed silent.

Paxton, however, denied it. “Of course not. We had only just learned Larissa was our daughter. How could we have planned for her to marry Haskell in Honora’s place?”

“Then why would Honora say that?” Sapphira challenged.

Honora gritted her teeth and took the blame. “It was me. I wanted to stay, but Larissa wouldn’t accept me and wanted to drive me out. I said it in a moment of desperation.”

Hearing this, Kiernan turned his stern gaze back to Paxton and Vivica. “You two are the ones who need to properly discipline your adopted daughter! And in the future, don’t bother me with these petty squabbles unless you have your facts straight!”

“Yes, Dad,” Paxton said, nodding. “I’ll have a stern talk with both Honora and Leopold.”
