Larissa's Game of Thrones (Larissa) novel Chapter 236

Kiernan didn't object to the wager. In fact, he welcomed it. Competition was what the Judson family needed to move forward, to stop resting on its laurels. His granddaughter’s return was shaking things up, and he knew it would ultimately make the family stronger.

“Larissa, focus on preparing for your engagement party tomorrow,” Kiernan said before standing. Jett helped him up, and they left the East Wing.

“Okay, Grandpa! Take care!” Larissa called after him.

Josette shot her a cold look and followed Kiernan out.

“The Lincoln and Schwartz families do have some history, Larissa,” Sapphira said worriedly. “Are you absolutely sure your aunt can’t arrange that meeting?”

“Of course I am, Mom. If you don’t believe me, I’ll call Zendar right now.”

She pulled out her phone and dialed his number. A moment later, a man’s voice answered.

“Larissa! I can’t believe you’re calling me! What’s up? Are they treating you well in Regal City? Is anyone giving you trouble? The whole village is practically on its way to back you up tomorrow!”

Sapphira couldn’t help but smile. The people from Spire Village were certainly a spirited bunch.

The familiar accent made Larissa laugh. “Zendar, that’s actually why I’m calling. My aunt from the Judson family was just here giving me a hard time. She questioned whether I really know you and said her husband, Jagger, is going to arrange a meeting between you and my uncle Paxton tomorrow to talk business. Oh, by the way, my uncle is my biological father, the one I disowned. So now he’s just ‘Uncle Paxton’.”

Zendar snorted. “I’m coming to your engagement party tomorrow, not to talk business! Who the hell is Jagger, trying to get me to do a favor for your deadbeat uncle? Don’t you worry, Larissa. I’m not meeting with anyone tomorrow but you.”

Larissa smiled, satisfied. “Great. I’ll see you at the party then, Zendar.”
