The first therapy went smoothly. The therapist simply gave her some medicines to help her control her addiction. The medicines also served as a psychological manipulator so that she would not crave for a drug injection the next day.
After the therapist had left, Lisa asked in a worried tone, "Brother, is the doctor reliable?"
Vincent tapped her on her head and smiled. "What's on your mind? Don't you believe me?"
"I just have a feeling that he is not our ally, " Lisa told him her concern. If there was someone whom she could believe in, it was no one but Vincent. She never worried about being betrayed by him. If he didn't want to help her, then he would never have risked his life to kidnap Linda to find Lisa. For Vincent, Lisa was more important than any other person he could think of.
"Don't worry. It doesn't matter how he seemed like. Just keep in mind that a dead body doesn't talk."
Lisa immediately understood what he had meant. The therapist would be killed after he successfully helped her cure her addiction.
"I'm so relieved. I am proud of you, dear brother. I would never have thought of that! I guess we'd better get going now."
"Lisa, as your brother, I hope you can stay away from all these awful things forever. Let me be the bad guy and do all the dirty works for you, okay?''
"Thank you very much, brother."
They hurriedly returned home. After a quick talk in Vincent's room, Lisa went back to Robert immediately, who was sleeping soundly because of the sleeping pills.
But Alice caught a glimpse of Lisa walking out of Vincent's room when she went to the toilet. With her mouth opened wide, she was surprised. She hurriedly rubbed her eyes in order to see whether Lisa had actually come out of Vincent's room or not. In Alice's eyes, she saw Linda came out of Adam's room in the middle of the night. One of them was Robert's wife and the other his brother. It was really shocking and she did see it.
She couldn't believe her own eyes. She opened her eyes wider this time and covered her mouth with both her hands. She dared not make any sound. All kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind. Was there something between the two of them?
She had been serving the Huo clan for years, and she heard whispers about all these wealthy clans all the time. Incest was nothing new to her. She could only pretend to not know about it and shut her mouth for her own good. Otherwise, she would suffer consequences.
After a while, Alice went out of the bathroom after Lisa had gotten back to Robert's room. And then, Alice went back to her room discreetly, pretending that nothing had happened...
Sometimes, ignoring what you had seen was the best way to protect yourself...
Even though what was happening between them was none of her business, Alice was a loyal servant to the Huo clan and had promised to offer a helping hand whenever she was needed. She would not allow Lisa to hurt Robert nor ruin the Huo clan's reputation.
Time went by. Every day, Robert went to the company to teach "Adam" about business management. Vincent was once the butler of the Xia clan, and he had made arrangements for some of the Xia clan's companies. Therefore, in terms of business management, he learned fast.
Robert was satisfied with his brother's performance. Little did he know that the one who had earned his recognition was not his brother, but Vincent...
