Chapter 586
Once and for all.
Just then, Lisa's phone buzzed, snapping her out of her thoughts. She glanced at the screen and felt her irritation flare up again.
"Ricky, can't you just give it a rest?" she huffed.
Of course, it was Rat on the line. Lisa was already on edge, but she couldn't risk ignoring Ricky's call; he might spill her secrets if he got mad enough. Ricky wasn't any calmer: "Ms. Chloe, where's my six million? You promised it in a week, and it's been three already. Isn't it time you paid up?"
Earlier today, Ricky had been strolling down the street when someone casually mentioned that Lisa was back on the outside. He was confused at first, but then realized his cash cow had returned. Without wasting a moment, he rang Lisa up.
Lisa shot back, "Since when do I owe you money? Quit talking nonsense!"
"Ms. Chloe, you must have forgotten. You've been locked up for two weeks-did you leave your brains behind when you got out?"
Lisa's expression turned stormy. "How do you even know I was in there?"
"Don't worry about how I know. Just make sure I get that six million today, or I'll spill your secrets to ChloeChloe."
Hearing Chloe's name felt like a punch to the gut for Lisa. Chloe couldn't find out.
Meanwhile, Ricky was testing the waters. He'd already sold Lisa out, but he wanted to see if she knew Chloe was in the know. The fact Lisa was out meant Ms. Chloe hadn't called the cops, nor did she plan to press charges. It all came down to whether the two had

communicated. If not, he could use this to keep milking his cash cow.
Lisa was terrified. If Chloe
discovered what happened, she'd never let her off the hook. Lisa's future would be a prison cell. Her life was plagued by two threats: Chloe and this dead Rat. If only both could just vanish.

With that thought, a wild idea took root in Lisa's mind. She remembered what Attorney Lyu had said: go ahead with whatever you want, they'd cover for you no matter what. Now that she had the Sartori Corporation's crown princess
backing her, what was there to fear?
Lisa's face turned cold, a sinister smile curled her lips. Chloe, dead Rat, you both can go to hell.
With newfound determination, Lisa chuckled into the phone, "Six million? No biggie. Rat, where are you? Let's meet."Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Lisa soon left the room, but she was flat broke and couldn't even afford a cab. She headed to Leah's room and demanded money, "I'm broke. I need two hundred thousand."
Leah frowned, "Why the sudden need for cash as soon as you're back?"
"Do you have any idea what I've been through? Two hundred thousand is nothing-it's not like I'm asking for two million."
"You're staying at home now, what do you need money for? Lisa, just stay put for a few months and don't go anywhere. I'm not giving you a cent." With that, Leah walked out, leaving Lisa fuming. She couldn't even get two hundred thousand.
Her eyes fell on Leah's dressing table. Taking advantage of Leah's absence, she rifled through the jewelry box, pocketing a gold bracelet and two gold necklaces. It wasn't much, but it was better than nothing.
As she was leaving, she spotted a card on the dressing table. She glanced at it—it was a wedding invitation from the Moncada family.
