Sapphira and Neville exchanged a look, more certain than ever that Haskell’s feelings for Larissa were genuine.
Vivica, on the other hand, was about to faint from rage.
She remembered the elation her family felt when Honora was engaged to Haskell. They had been counting on his power and influence to smooth their path in Regal City. With Haskell and the Palmer family backing them, everything would have been effortless.
But now, the engagement was off, and Haskell’s formidable support had been transferred to Larissa, the person she despised most. It was infuriating.
The bigger question was the situation with the Palmer family patriarch, Zoltan Palmer. There had been no news, which was unsettling. Could he really be planning to let a crippled Haskell inherit the entire Palmer fortune?
Kiernan asked diplomatically, “Mr. Palmer, how many shares in Starlight Media would you consider fair compensation?”
“Given the market value of Judson Pharmaceuticals,” Haskell stated plainly, “Starlight Media is a smaller piece of the Judson portfolio. I believe thirty percent would be appropriate.”
If anyone else had said it, Paxton would have exploded.
Appropriate? While Starlight Media was worth far less than the family’s core pharmaceutical company, thirty percent was a massive chunk to give away.
Larissa, meanwhile, casually popped another grape into her mouth, marveling at the situation.
So this is what they mean by fortune falling from the sky.
