CHAPTER 594
Lisa drove straight to the city’s most prestigious jewelry district. She walked into a high-end store, the heavy bag over her shoulder a stark contrast to her elegant movements.The jeweler’s eyes nearly popped out of his head as Lisa began emptying the contents onto the black velvet display tray. He spent nearly an hour with his loupe, calculating values."The pink diamond alone is a fortune," he whispered, hands trembling as he held up Amara’s prized necklace."How much for the lot?" Lisa asked, her voice cold and bored."I can offer you—""Lisa? Is that actually you?"A shrill, mocking voice cut through the quiet of the luxury boutique. Lisa didn’t have to turn to recognize it.It was Chloe, one of Amara’s most loyal friends, a girl who had spent years helping Amara torment Lisa in exchange for designer hand-me-downs.Chloe strutted over, her eyes darting from Lisa’s face to the glittering mountain of gems on the tray. Her lip curled in disgust."I saw the news, you pathetic snake.
CHAPTER 593
Lisa stared at the thick file on the mahogany table, then flicked her gaze up at the lawyer.A flicker of suspicion crossed her mind. It had been less than ten minutes since she’d hit Submit on the real estate portal. How could a buyer move this fast?The thought was quickly drowned beneath a wave of cold indifference.Whether it was one of her father’s business rivals or an opportunistic shark didn’t matter. What mattered was the exit strategy.She hadn’t bought or built the house, so she felt no attachment to how it was sold.“You’re quite efficient, Mr. Jamy,” Lisa said smoothly.She pulled the document toward her and read. Her eyes skimmed the clauses: cash offer, twenty-percent premium, immediate transfer of title, total waiver of inspections.It was more than acceptable. It was a miracle.She picked up the pen and scrawled her signature across the final page.With that single stroke, the house, the site of her misery and her ultimate victory, no longer belonged to the Hargrove
CHAPTER 592
The sun was high and unapologetic, pouring through the mansion’s floor-to-ceiling windows.Inside, the atmosphere wasn’t somber or heavy with the lingering dread of the previous night. The house was vibrating.Lisa had the speakers turned up to a deafening volume.An upbeat, rhythmic pop track ricocheted off the marble walls as she moved through the grand foyer, not walking, but dancing. She twirled with a trash bag in one hand, her movements fluid and celebratory. She started in Daniel’s room, then moved on to Matthew’s and Ethan’s. She didn’t hesitate for a second. Branded watches, silk ties, and custom-made suits were swept from hangers and tossed into black bags. She dragged them to the top of the staircase and sent them tumbling down the steps, laughing as the Hargrove legacy landed in a tangled heap at the bottom.“Out! All of it!” she chirped, spinning past the remaining maids huddled near the linen closet, their eyes wide with terror.Lisa stopped mid-dance and pointed at t
CHAPTER 591
The next day, Tedmond sat down in the fluffy, oversized chair, his posture relaxed despite the sharp intensity in his eyes. The morning sun streamed through the study windows, casting long, golden bars across the room and illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. The storm from the previous night had vanished, leaving behind a sky so clear it looked painted.He picked up his red wine glass, swirling the liquid absentmindedly. On the desk beside him, a second glass sat half-filled with water, sweating slightly onto the polished wood. Spread out between the two glasses were the files Nalla had sent earlier, the cold, hard evidence of Lisa’s brilliance.He leafed through the pages, his fingers tracing the logs of the bank transfers.Thirty million dollars.She had stripped her brothers and parents of their liquid assets in a single hour, then handed them over to the authorities before the ink on the digital transfers was even dry.“Clever girl,” Tedmond murmured.He turned to the s

"We want to make it right," Mr. Hargrove interrupted. "We will give you money. Consider it compensation for your suffering. Ten million dollars, immediately, in your personal account. But you must let us handle Amara quietly."Lisa’s brow furrowed into an icy frown. "Ten million? My life is worth ten million to you?""Lisa, please be reasonable," her mother pleaded. "It’s a fortune."Lisa stared at them for a long, agonizing minute. Then, the tension in her shoulders evaporated. A small, chilling smile touched her lips. "Fine. Give me the money."The parents sighed in relief, quickly pulling out their phones to authorize the transfer."It’s done," her father said. "Ten million is yours."Lisa looked at the notification on her screen, then looked back up. Her smile widened, but it didn't reach her eyes. "It’s not enough. Not nearly enough for the 'trauma' of having my own parents choose a murderer over me.""I’ll add five million," Daniel said quickly, desperate to keep the peace."
CHAPTER 589
Amara saw exactly what Lisa was doing, and a hard frown crossed her face. Her brows twitched with rage, and her eyes darkened."She’s just angry because she got caught," Matthew muttered, though he looked visibly disturbed by the screeching echoing from behind the oak panels."Is that all it is?" Lisa asked, her eyes wide with faux innocence. She leaned closer to the brothers, lowering her voice. "I’m starting to get worried. What are you actually going to do with her? Look at the evidence. She attacked me in the middle of the night with a needle. She’s screaming about conspiracies and 'grins' that no one else saw."She paused, watching the realization dawn on their faces."Amara might have truly lost it," Lisa continued, her voice dripping with artificial sympathy. "To attack her own sister like that... in her own home? Only a person who has lost their mind would be that reckless. Don't you think she needs help? The kind of help only a locked facility can provide?""You mean... an
