To them. Palmer was just a clueless kid, a greenhom who had ascended the ranks solely through the backing of Sexton. Without Sexton’s support, he was nothing
“What’s gotten into Palmer? Did Sexton get wind of this? That can’t be right”
They had been involved in their fair share of shady dealings over the years, and it was possible that Sexton knew but simply turned a blind eye
Could it be that their mistreatment of Ms. Schwabel was the last straw for Sexton?
Larson was drenched in sweat as he stared at the photo on his phone, trying to regain his composure.
In the photo, Eamon had been wounded in the leg–it looked beyond saving!
The middle–aged man beside Larson asked with concem, Larson, is Sexton meddling in this? Or could it be the Schnabel family stiming the pot?”
It’s not certain yet. If it’s the Schnabel family or Sexton, then Eamon and I can only curse our luck! Go find Lorne Richardson and ask him how we should handle this situation!”
After all, it was Lome who had suggested they go after Palmer now, claiming it was prime time to strike given Palmer’s recent injury.
After mulling it over, Larson decided to call Lome himself.
Lome’s voice was weak, tinged with illness, as he fidgeted with a pair of stress balls in his hands.
“Larson, I only told you to rough up Palmer a bit, not to lay a hand on Ms. Schnabel,” he said, his face twisting into a sickly grin. “After all, Ms. Schnabel… she’s someone I have my eye on too. If you hurt her, I won’t be pleased.”
Larson scoffed. “Don’t act like you couldn’t predict we’d go after Ms. Schnabel. Don’t even think about using me and Eamon as your scapegoats!”
Lome shrugged nonchalantly, stretching his limbs. “Honestly, I didn’t see it coming. My plan was to get rid of Palmer so Ms. Schnabel’s engagement would be off the table, benefiting both you and me
The Pollack family’s eagerness to eliminate Palmer and grab power for themselves was blatantly obvious. What Lome truly wanted was that engagement
Larson frowned. “An engagement? Ms. Schnabel must be quite something to catch your interest.”
Indeed, the girl had charm, enchanting both Palmer and Lornel
Lome chuckled. “So, Larson, are you in for a continued partnership? I want Ms. Schnabel, and you want the helm of the Pollack family. It’s a win–win.”
Larson was tempted.
Lome’s influence in their circles was formidable. If they could join forces, toppling Palmer might be within reach.
