Chapter 206 Connor didn't bother sending anyone to grab his luggage, so Chloe had no choice but to stash the bags and suitcases in the storage room. Suddenly, the villa felt a lot emptier.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLately, Chloe hadn't been sleeping well. She had even upped her dose of sleeping pills. But there was ssilver lining. The Gilbert family was planning to build a new car factory in Riverbrook, and Cassie was set to move there as the manager. The thought of spending their days together again was a huge boost for Chloe. Two weeks flew by, and today was a big day-the retrial for Ann's case was taking place, and a verdict would be announced. The whole city was buzzing because the verdict was self-defense, and Ann was declared innocent. The appeal had brought in a ton of new evidence, plus a testimony from Ann's adopted daughter.
Chloe knew Sartori Corporation's top-notch legal team had played a massive role in this outcome. She had expected, at best, a reduced sentence for excessive self-defense, but complete innocence was a surprise. Chloe had made sure gossip-loving Grace spilled the details to Leah, so Leah was right there to see Lisa testify. She watched as the court declared Ann's innocence.
As Lisa stepped out of the courthouse, Leah stormed over and slapped her across the face. Lisa was utterly shocked. She had been back with the Meadows family for three years, and Leah had always bent over backward to make her happy. No matter what she did, Leah never held it against her.
Lisa knew Leah felt incredibly guilty and was eager to make up for lost time. She expected Leah might be upset about her testimony, but this reaction was beyond anything she could have imagined.
"Lisa, if you're so concerned about your mother, why don't you go back and be her daughter then?" Leah's words left Lisa in a daze. It took her a moment to snap out of it and run after Leah.
"Mom, I'm your daughter, your real daughter. How can you say that? You're the only mom I have. I only recognize you as my mom. Please, don't abandon me." Leah's sudden coldness sent Lisa into a panic. Leah had never been this harsh before.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"If you only seeas your mom, why did you testify in court? You know Ann and I are sworn enemies. Her mother seduced my father, drove my mother to her death, almost tore our family apart, and then she swapped my child. could never forgive her for these deep wounds. Someone like that deserves to rot in jail, but you, my own daughter, testified falsely and got her released." Leah's eyes were filled with pain and fury. "Lisa, you've letdown so much."
Lisa was frantic. "Mom, it's not what you think." The content is on ink." The O novelenglish.net!
Chloe, striding over in her high heels, chimed in casually. Yeah, Lisa, how could you fie in court like that?"
