"I understand what you mean. Okay… Since he treats you so badly, let's kill him!" said May.
"Mother, do you have any idea how to kill a person in a way that it would look like an accident, or it would not be easily discovered by others? I don't want to be suspected by Robert, " asked Lisa.
They went back to the cell from the toilet and started to discuss the plan. May thought for a moment and said, "I don't know of any ways to let a person disappear from the world undetected. We have a very perfect census registration system in this country. It's impossible to keep it a secret for a long time, unless we can have another person who has the same face as him to replace him."
May continued, "Adam had forced you to have plastic surgery, making you look like Linda, so we can find a way to kill Adam first, and then we can look for another man to have plastic surgery, too, to make him look exactly the same as Adam. You can go abroad with Robert, leaving the fake Adam here to take possession of the Huo clan's assets. Adam has treated you like that, so I must let him pay the double price of what he has done!"
Lisa's eyes glimmered with excitement as she heard her mother's plan. It sounded pretty good. She could be able to do unto Adam for what he had done to her, and let him have a taste of his own medicine!
Lisa didn't stay long in May's cell. She left the prison after the discussion of the first step of their plan. She had promised to come and visit May again later.
May had already taught Lisa a method on how to have someone kill Adam.
Lisa had heard from other people that Adam wasn't in good health ever since his birth. If she had someone kill Adam and find a person to have a plastic surgery to become the fake Adam, she could go travel abroad with Robert. She would give a certain amount of money to the fake Adam and ask him to manage the Huo clan's assets.
In this way, all of the Huo clan's property would be actually under Lisa's control.
This scheme was what Adam deserved. But Lisa loved Robert, so she decided that she would return some properties of the Huo clan to Robert one way or another. However, Robert would lose his younger brother forever. Lisa felt a little guilty about it, but she had to do that. She wouldn't let Adam stand in her way of pursuing her own happiness. She had no other choice. It was the only way for her to live happily with Robert.
Love might cause a person to behave crazily. Lisa had once been crazy for Charles Mu, but now, she was fascinated by Robert and had lost her reason.
After Lisa left the jail, she went back home. She hadn't figured out how she should lie to Adam. She thought she'd better keep herself away from Adam at the moment.
Robert was staying in the hospital, looking after Adam. Even though Adam was actually pretending to be sick, he still had to stay in the hospital for a couple of days. Lisa didn't need to worry about Adam coming back home any time soon. More importantly, she had to find a way to make Robert leave Adam's side when she carried out her plan.
Lisa meditated for a moment. Didn't they plan to go to Maldives earlier? They gave up their trip earlier today because of Adam's threat to her in the airport. Lisa was determined to persuade Robert again to go travel in Maldives. She could stay at least a week there, so she could have a solid alibi. No one would suspect her.
With that on her mind, Lisa sent a message to Robert. It wrote, "Robert, how's your brother doing? If it's convenient for you, please leave the ward and call me back."
Lisa dared not to call Robert, afraid that Adam was by Robert's side right now. In order not to risk triggering Adam's suspicions, she sent a message instead. Adam couldn't read the content, and neither could he ask Robert about it.
Robert indeed was right by Adam's side in the hospital. After the check-up on Adam, the doctor told Robert that Adam fainted because of anemia. It was nothing serious.
But the doctor had also drawn Adam's blood to conduct a thorough test, to see if there was any other problem. The doctor suggested that Adam should stay in the hospital for a few days. Robert felt very worried because he was well aware of his brother's vulnerable condition. He agreed with the doctor. If anything bad would happen to Adam, the doctor could take care of his brother immediately.
Suddenly, his phone alerted him. Robert took out his phone and saw that it was Lisa's message. 'Has she come back from the wedding ceremony already?' thought he. Robert was eager to know how everything was going with Linda. He looked at Adam, who had his eyes closed. Robert assumed that Adam was asleep, so he'd better not make a call there, so he wouldn't wake him up. Then, he quietly opened the door and walked out of the ward.
Outside the ward, Robert called Lisa back.
"Linda? How are you doing now?" asked Robert.
