CHAPTER 465
The doctor’s office was quiet, the smell of antiseptic hanging heavy in the air. A small clock ticked steadily on the wall, and the faint hum of the air conditioner filled the silence. Files were stacked neatly on the desk, and medical charts covered the white walls.Lisa sat on one of the chairs, her back straight but her hands clenched together on her lap. Her feet tapped against the tiled floor nervously as she waited for the doctor to speak. Since they arrived at the hospital, she had been moved from nurse to nurse for the pregnancy test, and now, sitting there, her stomach twisted with unease. She didn’t know what the doctor was going to say—or what Evelyn and Tina would do once they found out the truth about her almost miscarrying.“She’s still pregnant,” the doctor finally announced.“You’re sure?” Evelyn asked, her brows raised.“Yes,” the doctor replied, handing her the lab results.Evelyn snatched the paper and glanced down at it. Lisa sat quietly between her and Tina, n
CHAPTER 464
“What do you think she’s doing here?” Adeline asked as soon as Lisa was dragged away.“There’s no need to ask that, Ade,” Tina said, playing with her fingernails with a tired look in her eyes. “Lisa is a bitch, and she’s caused enough trouble already.”Evelyn turned around to look at Adeline, a hard look on her face, before walking forward and sitting back in her seat—the same one she had left when Lisa arrived. She glanced in the direction Lisa had been taken.“The audacity for her to come back,” she said.“There’s no way she didn’t know about the accident.”“I don’t know why that bitch is here,” Evelyn replied to Adeline’s question. “But I’m sure she came back with something terrible in mind.”Richard placed a finger on his chin, thinking. “That might be true, but at least she brought back the seal.”“The seal is all that matters now,” Gerald said. “She left with it to give to Tedmond, but it seems we mistook her. Maybe she really left to clear her mind like she said and only took
CHAPTER 463
Lisa’s eyes widened as her head snapped to the side. She had expected to be punished, but not slapped in the face the moment she stepped into the house. The strike told her something worse might follow.“How dare you think of coming back here?!” Evelyn snapped, eyes flashing in anger. “How dare you come without asking anyone?!”The slap still stung as Lisa turned to look at Evelyn.“I wanted to come back because I’m part of the family,” Lisa said, meeting Evelyn’s gaze. “You listed me as missing, so I thought I should show up so you’d know I’m fine.”Evelyn’s eyes reddened. She raised her hand again, but a firm grip stopped her.“Let go of me,” Evelyn snapped without turning.Otis had held her wrist. He wore a deep frown, like he wanted to strike Lisa himself, but he kept Evelyn from hitting her again.Hope fluttered across Lisa’s face until she looked at Otis and saw him glare. The hope instantly vanished.“I said, let go of me!” Evelyn snarled. “Don’t tell me you’re standing up f
CHAPTER 462
She walked straight upstairs to her room. Everything was exactly as she’d left it—the curtains drawn, the drawer half open, the stack of papers still on her table, and the mess taken care of.More like the housekeeper had cleaned the room—and without permission at that.Lisa didn’t waste any time.She took out her small travel bag from the wardrobe and began packing.She reached for the drawer where she had kept the divorce papers she’d written earlier that week.Lisa stared at the documents for a moment, then tore them apart one by one.The sound of the paper ripping filled the room.When she was done, she checked the small wooden box beside her table. Inside was the seal she had kept safe—the only thing that could save her now.It was still there.She touched it lightly, her fingers trembling for just a second before she shut the lid and placed it carefully into her bag.Without glancing back, Lisa zipped the bag and walked out of the room.The housekeeper was still standing in the
CHAPTER 461
Lisa knew Amara had faked her fainting to distract the men, giving herself the chance to delete the evidence—and just thinking about it made Lisa furious.She had stepped aside for Amara because the family adored her, yet Amara still refused to accept her, making it seem as though Lisa was the villain.Lisa had reached her limit. She wasn’t going to let Amara get away with anything anymore.“How can it be deleted?” Daniel demanded, his brows twitching as if they might burst. “It’s only been a few minutes! Are you saying someone deleted it on purpose?”“That doesn’t make sense,” Matthew said. “We were with Amara. She fainted, and the doctors took her in. There’s no way she could have deleted it.”Daniel turned to the technician. “You’re sure the file is gone?”“Yes, sir,” the man replied. “It’s been completely erased.”Ethan frowned. “Then who did it?”The room fell silent. Slowly, the three brothers turned to look at Lisa, their parents following suit.Lisa leaned back against the pi
CHAPTER 460
Lisa’s voice rang loud and sharp, making her mother flinch. The woman hadn’t expected her to snap.Her father raised a hand, opening his mouth to speak, but Lisa cut him off, her eyes blazing.“I said go! I’m not dying here, and I don’t need you hovering over me like I’m a child! Leave!”Her parents exchanged a glance, their calm demeanor unshaken. Lisa’s frown deepened as she folded her arms over her chest.Her heart raced, but so did her resolve.She would make them understand. She would protect her baby, no matter what.Her father’s jaw tightened, his voice low and sharp. “Lisa, you’re a filial daughter. You should never speak to us like that. Amara would never dare say anything like this to us. Sometimes I wonder if I should have ever given birth to you… maybe you were a mistake.”Lisa’s eyes widened in disbelief.Her chest heaved with anger, and she shot up from the bed, pointing a trembling finger at him. “Is that why you let Amara do all those things to me? Lie about everythin
