CHAPTER 577
Lisa didn’t answer the question. At first, she was confused by the way Amara was staring at her.The Amara she knew would have laughed in her face for surviving, but instead of saying anything, Lisa simply reached back, gripped the handle, and clicked the lock into place.The sound of the bolt sliding home rang through the room like a death knell.“We have a score to settle, Amara,” Lisa said, her voice a low, vibrating hum.“Get out! Get out of my room!” Amara screamed, grabbing a pillow and hurling it uselessly at Lisa.Then a slow, ugly realization crept across Amara’s face.Her eyes darkened, losing their frantic spark and turning sharp and venomous. She stopped shaking and let out a cold, humorless scoff.“So, I missed,” Amara whispered, a twisted smirk tugging at her lips. “I might have failed to kill you… which means the person I saw crushed on that road must have been that pathetic friend of yours. It was Nika, wasn’t it?”Lisa’s eyes widened.Amara let out a short, dry laugh,
CHAPTER 576
Before any of them could blink or find their voices, Lisa turned her attention back to the unconscious housekeeper.Without a word, she bent down, grabbed the woman by one ankle, and began to drag her across the floor. The sound of the woman’s body thumping against the floor was the only noise in the living room.Lisa kicked the front door open, the wind and rain howling into the house. With a grunt of effort, she flung the limp body out onto the porch and down the stairs into the mud and pouring rain.She slammed the door shut, the heavy wood echoing through the house like a gavel.“She’s officially fired,” Lisa said, turning back to her brothers as she wiped a smudge of blood from her knuckles. “If I see her face inside these walls again, I won’t use a vase. I will kill her. Do you understand?”She stepped toward them, her gaze sweeping over their reddened faces.“Unless, of course, the three of you want a murder investigation and a public scandal attached to your precious names to
CHAPTER 575
Lisa stared at the housekeeper, her brows rising in weary suspicion. She knew this woman didn’t like her; it had always been clear that her loyalty belonged solely to Amara.Seeing her act concerned was unsettling.“What is wrong with you?” Lisa muttered, her voice raspy from the cold.The housekeeper didn’t answer. Instead, she grabbed Lisa’s arm with surprising strength, dragging her over the threshold and into the living room.“Oh, you shouldn’t have been out in the rain, Miss Lisa! Think of the mess, the chill! You look like a drowned rat,” the woman prattled on, though her tone lacked any real warmth.Once they were in the living room, Lisa stood in the center of the expensive rug, a dark pool of rainwater forming around her boots.The housekeeper stopped her frantic fussing and looked Lisa up and down, a sharp glint of malice suddenly appearing in her eyes.“Since you’ve decided to crawl back tonight of all nights,” the housekeeper said, her voice dropping the fake sweetness, “
CHAPTER 574
“How…” she stammered, her voice barely a whisper. “How did you know about that? I didn’t tell anyone. We were careful.”She had made sure no one had seen her, and even Neil wouldn’t have known that she had been the one to suggest the outing or that she had enjoyed it, too.Tedmond’s expression remained unreadable, his eyes tracking her reaction with clinical interest.Behind him, Hino and Persis exchanged a quick, wary glance.“Careful is a relative term in this house, Nella,” Tedmond said, his voice dropping into a low, chilling vibration. “Did you really think you could move through this city without my knowledge? I know where you go, who you speak to, and exactly what you buy. In this house, privacy is a luxury you haven’t earned yet.”He stepped closer, leaning in just enough so only she could hear the edge in his tone.“Now tell me, what else did you two discuss over silk and champagne that didn’t make it into that email?”Nella swallowed hard, forcing her composure back into pla
CHAPTER 573
Nella walked past the front of Tedmond’s study, her footsteps muffled by the thick hallway carpet.Through the slightly ajar double doors, she could see Tedmond hunched over a mountain of documents, his expression grim. Thomas stood beside him, methodically stamping pages and filing them into neat, sorted piles. The air was heavy with the sharp scent of ink.Nella tapped lightly on the doorframe, catching Tedmond’s attention.“May I come in?” she asked softly.Tedmond looked up, his gaze sharp yet weary. He set his pen down and leaned back in his leather chair.“Is the situation handled?” he asked, his voice low and commanding.“It is,” Nella replied, stepping just inside the threshold. “Everything has been taken care of as you requested. However, there’s something I need to discuss with you—something important regarding what I obtained from her.”Tedmond glanced at the clock on his desk, then back at the towering stacks of paperwork still waiting.He sighed and gestured toward the h
CHAPTER 572
The heavy silence of the VIP surgical lounge was finally broken by the rhythmic squeak of a doctor’s shoes.Adeline, Frank, Richard, and Tina scrambled to their feet as the Chief of Medicine approached, still adjusting his glasses.They hadn’t heard a word since Harold and Vivian were rushed into emergency surgery hours earlier. Now, at last, something, anything was coming, and they clung to it like a lifeline.“Good news,” the doctor announced with a professional nod. “Against all odds, both Harold and Vivian have stabilized. The water in their lungs has been cleared, their vitals are strong, and they are awake. They’ve been transferred to the recovery ward. You may see them now.”The siblings didn’t wait for a second invitation. They rushed down the hallway in a frantic swarm, their footsteps echoing off the sterile tile.But as they burst into the spacious private ward, the room felt strangely empty despite the two figures lying in the beds.Evelyn was nowhere to be seen.“Harold!
