Chapter 7 A few hours later , Larissa stepped into the study . Seeing that Marshall was still working , she suggested tentatively , " Marsh , you work so late every day . Perhaps you should find someone to lighten your load , or you'll burn out . " Marshall said flatly, " I'm fine . You should get some rest . " Biting her lip , she said , " But I want to help you . " He was in the middle of an urgent contract , and his tone was tinged with a faint trace of impatience that he didn't notice . " That won't be necessary . " He didn't look up , thus missing the ambition and greed hidden in Larissa's eyes . She didn't come from a wealthy family . Her parents were intellectuals who weren't exactly well - off . Over the years in Canada , she had grown accustomed to the allure of fame , lust , and money . If it weren't for her ruined reputation , she never would have returned . It was a huge relief when she discovered that Marshall was still not over her . She certainly wouldn't let him slip through her fingers . But Marshall himself wasn't her true desire . Rather , she was after the vast Burton family fortune . However , although Marshall was good to her , he had always been 10.00 % Chapter 7 288 Vouchers cautious regarding Apex Group's affairs . She had been trying to find a way to meddle in the company's business , but so far , she had found no opening . She also worried that if she were too obvious , he would become suspicious . Just then , sensing his harsh tone , Marshall paused for a second before adding , " Lara , your birthday is around the corner , and I'm planning on throwing you a birthday party . Just make sure you get enough rest for it . You don't have to worry about anything else . Larissa could only force a smile . " Thank you , Marsh . " As she turned around , the unwillingness in her eyes was palpable . After stepping out , she began to devise another plan . She had bumped into Eddie , who had just been kicked out of Wonder Group , at the Skyline Club yesterday . Wonder Group was owned by the Langstaff family , the wealthiest in New . York . Whoever owned the group would surely have immense power and wealth . In her eyes , Wonder Group's new CEO was nothing but a pampered heiress , and Eddie was undoubtedly a dumbass . The Langstaff family was much easier to take advantage of than Marshall was . A flicker of malice flashed in her eyes as she made up her mind . Back in her room , she called Eddie . " Mr. Langstaff , are you interested in a deal ? " ***** A few days later , Priscilla went out for a meal with Randolph and mentioned Eddie's recent unusual behavior . 8 % Chapter 7 288 / Vouchers " He's always held a grudge that Grandpa left the company to me .

Thinking back to Eddie's actions over the past three years , Randolph reminded her seriously , " Eddie is always up to something , and he'll do anything to get what he wants . Cilla , you shouldn't let your guard down . Priscilla knew this as well . Eddie's questionable character was precisely why their grandfather wouldn't let him inherit Wonder Group's shares . She couldn't help but have a bad feeling about tomorrow's dinner with Eddie . " Randolph , could you look into what Eddie has been up to these days ? " Worried , Randolph immediately made some calls . Soon , the results came in . Watching the surveillance footage showing Eddie's purchase , Priscilla felt a chill run down her spine . Randolph's face turned livid . " I'll have that bastard brought here right now ! " Priscilla stopped him , her gaze icy . " Don't be rash . " Randolph couldn't help but retort , " What is it ? Are you going to let him off ? After what he intended to do to you ... " She shook her head . " I'm not a saint . We just don't have enough proof right now . I'll go to dinner with him tomorrow . Only then can we catch him on the spot . " She let out a cold laugh . " Eddie's life has been so comfortable that he's Chapter 7 1288 Vouchers gotten carried away . Time to put him in the right place to help him realize his mistake . " The next day , Priscilla went alone to the club Eddie had chosen . She walked into the private room , seemingly unguarded .
