CHAPTER 457
After seeing Amara freeze, Ethan grew even more suspicious. After all, they had found Amara in Lisa’s room—not the other way around.And it was Lisa who had been in pain, completely unaware of whether anyone was home.There was no way she could have staged such a scene.Amara hesitated for a split second, then lowered her gaze, her voice softening into something pitiful.“Because she wanted to make herself look like the victim… she knew you’d all side with her if she got hurt. She planned it—she wanted sympathy.”Matthew glanced at Ethan, uncertain.“You think she’s telling the truth?” he asked quietly.Ethan didn’t answer
CHAPTER 456
Lisa gasped as pain shot through her scalp, her grip loosening on Amara.The next second, the housekeeper shoved her hard.“Miss Amara, are you okay?” the woman asked frantically, helping her up.Lisa stumbled back, her balance slipping as her hip slammed against the edge of the table. Then—Thud!Her body folded over the corner, sharp pain slicing through her abdomen. Her eyes widened in horror as she fell to the floor, clutching her belly.“My baby…” she gasped weakly, her voice trembling. “My baby—!”The housekeeper’s eyes went wide, her face draining of color as
CHAPTER 455
Lisa’s eyes widened.Though she had come back, she never imagined Amara would still hit her—just like she used to in the past.She had thought she could finally rest here, but if this was how things were going to be, she would’ve rather stayed with the Griffins than return to this hellhole.“You think you can talk to me like that after everything I’ve done for this family?” Amara spat. “After you dared to crawl back here as if you belonged?”Lisa slowly turned her head toward her, breathing unevenly but eyes defiant. The pain on her cheek was clear, yet her pride refused to crumble.Amara smirked at that stubborn look, stepping closer until her shadow fell over Lisa.“Still pretending to be strong, huh?” she whispered mockingly. “Let’s see how long that lasts.”Lisa’s cheek burned where Amara’s hand had struck her. She didn’t move for a moment, just sat there with her hair falling over her face, the silence heavy except for the faint ticking of the clock.Then, slowly, she lifted her
CHAPTER 454
Lisa sat at her desk, the soft light from the lamp illuminating her features. Her gaze drifted to the mirror across the room, and for a moment, she allowed herself a small, satisfied smile.The reflection staring back at her was calm, collected, and far more cunning than anyone could imagine.She picked up her pen and began writing carefully on a sheet of paper, her movements deliberate and precise.Each word seemed to carry weight, as though she were crafting more than a simple note, she was plotting, planning, and preparing for what was to come.Lisa tapped the pen against the edge of the paper, her eyes flickering toward the divorce agreement beside her. The bold letters at the top seemed to mock her—DIVORCE AGREEMENT—a clean, final cut to everything they had built.Her fingers hovered over the signature line.“Should I just sign it now and end it?” she murmured to herself, her voice soft but edged with resolve. “Or wait for him to wake up… let him see it first?”Her chest rose an
CHAPTER 453
The Hargrove family had four children: three sons, one biological daughter, and an adopted daughter who had been brought into the family years ago.The adoption had been their mother’s way of coping after their stubborn eldest daughter, Lisa, went missing as a child.Losing Lisa had left a void that nothing else could fill. The adopted girl had been welcomed with warmth, though everyone knew she could never truly replace Lisa.The eldest son, Daniel, was in his late twenties, tall and broad-shouldered, with a sharp jawline and the commanding air of someone used to being obeyed. He had long taken it upon himself to protect the family, carrying burdens far beyond his years.The second son, Ethan, was quieter, more calculating. His dark eyes missed nothing, and while he lacked Daniel’s physical presence, his intellect and sense of strategy often made him the one everyone turned to when things got complicated.The youngest, Matthew, was volatile, quick to anger, reckless, and impulsive,
CHAPTER 452
Meanwhile, across the country.Tedmond sat in his sprawling office, the city stretching endlessly beneath him through the massive floor-to-ceiling windows. The room was silent except for the faint hum of the air conditioning, yet the atmosphere was heavy, so thick with tension it was almost suffocating.In front of him sat a group of visitors: a middle-aged man and woman, and three younger men.Their faces were pale, sweat glistening on their foreheads, their hands fidgeting nervously on the polished table.None of them dared meet Tedmond’s gaze for long, but his presence was so commanding that looking away felt even more dangerous.Tedmond leaned back in his chair, one leg crossed over the other, his dark eyes fixed on them with calm, measured intensity. He didn’t speak. He simply watched, letting the silence drag out until it began to crush them.Behind him stood Thomas, silent and unmoving. His expression was hard, his stance precise, and the quiet strength radiating from him am
