NovelOnlineChapter 583
Chloe was completely out of the loop on everything. She hadn't thought about Lisa in ages. Connor had been so
sure Lisa would end up behind bars that Chloe stopped paying any attention. But when Connor broke the news to
her, looking all serious, Chloe was floored. "How on earth did that happen? Who bailed her out?" she asked,
baffled. Clearly, Lisa couldn't have pulled off such a miraculous escape on her own. Someone had to be pulling
strings from the shadows.
With a touch of sarcasm, Chloe wondered, "Was it the Meadows family paying off the paparazzi?" Connor shook
his head, still looking grave. "No, the Meadows family wasn't involved this time; they just don't have that kind of
pull."
The evidence against Lisa had been rock-solid. Plus, it was CNR's legal team that filed the lawsuit. Turning that
kind of situation around wasn't something you did on a whim. Chloe seemed to piece something together.
Connor sighed, "I'm sorry, Chloe." Chloe jumped in, "It was you, wasn't it, Chloe?" Connor nodded, "She bribed
quite a few people and got the top lawyer in the country, Anthony, on board."
Anthony was a legend in the legal world, known for never losing a case. But he only took on cases for the filthy
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtrich, often twisting the truth and exploiting loopholes in the law. Chloe scoffed, "So much for integrity and justice.
It's just a climb for power and wealth, totally blurring right and wrong. It's a real disgrace."
Connor reassured her, "Don't worry. They may have blindsided us this time, but we can still go after Lisa legally.
I'm not letting her slip away." Chloe nodded, "I'm not worried about Lisa going to jail; I'm worried about you,
Chloe."
The peace didn't last long, though. Claire just had to get involved again, heading straight for Riverbrook. Why
was Claire so determined to keep Lisa out of trouble? What was her gplan?
Claire's cunning and scheming were leagues ahead of Lisa's. Why was she doing this? Was it just to be a thorn in
their side? Connor felt a bit exasperated, "At the end of the year, Sartori Corporation holds its annual
shareholders meeting. Every year, he stirs up trouble foraround this time, and this year, Jeffery might
announce his successor."
Connor frowned even more deeply, "This year's storm is going to be rougher than usual."
Chloe wrapped her arms around Connor's waist, "Whatever happens, I'm here with you, Connor. You're not alone
anymore."
For the first tin ages, Connor felt a little choked up. Only Chloe had ever told him he wasn't alone. He had
been weathering storms by himself for years, fighting off
ooo
loneliness and numbness. Chloe had
always been his beacon of hope.
But now, he'd selfishly pulled her into the storm with him. Was that a mistake? Connor held Chloe close, "I've
dragged you into the rain with me."
"As long as we're together, I'm not afraid of the rain," she whispered.
"Chloe, I'll never let you down. | love you."
Meanwhile, Lisa stepped out of the courthouse, squinting at the blinding sunlight. She had lost so much weight in
detention that her cheeks were sunken in. She still couldn't quite wrap her head around what had happened.
She had been sure she'd be found guilty. But then, out of nowhere, the paparazzi had confessed, taking all the
blame. Plus, she had switched lawyers. Could Leah have been behind all this?
Lisa was dazed. Just then, a figure appeared in front of her. It was the lawyer who had just fiercely defended her
in court.
