Larissa didn’t know why, but the words slipped out before she could stop herself.
Leonard looked apologetic. “I’m sorry, Larissa. I failed you. I let you suffer in the Turners‘ house.
“From now on, I’ll make sure you have everything you deserve.
“You’ll never have to envy anyone again.
“Anything other children have, you’ll have too.”
Hearing her say those things made his chest tighten.
“The Turners will pay for what they did.”
Larissa quickly steadied herself.
“Dad, I’m okay. I didn’t mean anything by it.
“I’m happy now.
“I have you, my brothers, Mom, all of you. That’s enough for me.”
“It’s not enough, Larissa. I want you to be the happiest girl in the world.
“Tomorrow at the party, your grandfather will introduce you properly.
“And I’m taking back control of the Sowles Group.
“I’m going to make you the true princess of the Sowles.”
Leonard looked at his obedient daughter, his chest tightening.
He couldn’t stop himself from making that promise.
Larissa stared at him in surprise.
DidhereturntotheSowlesbecauseofme?
She didn’t know what had happened back then.
But families like theirs were always filled with power struggles.
She could only imagine how dangerous it had been.
She reached out and held his hand.
“Dad, I’ll support whatever you decide. Just be careful. Please protect yourself.”
“Boss, that girl looks like the one from the video.”

Terry had just walked into the restaurant and immediately spotted her, sitting there holding Leonard’s hand.
Alvin followed his gaze and saw her.
His expression darkened slightly.
Terry kept talking, unable to keep quiet.
“Damn, she’s sitting there holding hands with some older guy, laughing like that.
“Didn’t expect her to be this kind of girl. She’s not worth your attention.”
“Alvin’s attention?
“What do you mean, Terry?
“Alvin would never like someone like her.
“She’s nothing special. Just a gold digger with a pretty face.”
Floria’s voice dripped with contempt.
She refused to let anyone take her brother’s attention.
Alvin didn’t say a word, but seeing her in person made his heartbeat stumble.
The unfamiliar feeling unsettled him, and he couldn’t look away.
“Come on, let’s sit closer. We’ll see what kind of person she really is,” Terry said eagerly.
Before Alvin could answer, Terry was already leading Floria toward Larissa’s table.
Leonard noticed them immediately. Their clothes, their bearing, especially the man in front, told him they weren’t ordinary people. He grew alert.
When they satatthe table beside them, his guard stayed up.
Larissa looked up and saw the people she hated most. Her expression hardened with irritation.
Jeez,Ican’t evenhaveaproperdinnerwithoutrunningintothesedisgustingpeople.
Floria deliberately raised her voice.
“Some girls really have no shame,clinging to older men in public.”
Larissa gave her a cold glance and ignored her.
Leonard couldn’t stay silent. He stood, his voice sharp. “Watch your words. Don’t insult people without
reason.”
Terry laughed mockingly. “Oh, look at that, getting protective already. What, are you upset because people noticed you keeping a young girl?”
