Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 257

Jacob felt like he was about to burst a blood vessel. "It would be easier to just drop dead," he thought.

At least then, he wouldn't have to deal with this relentless nightmare of debt.

Gasping for breath, Jacob clutched his chest, his words tumbling out in a jumbled mess. "You ungrateful brat, tell me—why? Didn’t we always give you what you want? Why did you sell the company shares for peanuts?"

Ever since Lisa's return, the Meadows family had been bending over backwards to relieve their guilt. They'd been giving her a generous monthly allowance of twenty grand. Not to mention the endless luxury clothes, jewelry, and handbags Leah had showered on her.

But nope, that wasn't enough. She had gone ahead and sold the shares they’d given her three years ago. She had sold shares worth a billion for a measly thirty million.

"Why? Just tell me why?"

Lisa kept her head down, unable to find her voice.

Leah, trembling with anger, pressed on, "Speak up! Why did you do it?"

Tears streamed down Lisa's face. "Because I needed money. I asked you guys, but you wouldn't give it to me. Selling the shares was my only option. What else could I do?"

Suddenly, it clicked for Leah.

A month ago, Lisa had suddenly asked her for thirty million. Leah thought she was out of her mind and had given her a good scolding. She'd assumed Lisa was just trying to keep up with Chloe and didn’t think much more of it.

Lisa had always had her hands out, and her demands grew bigger each time. Leah never imagined Lisa would actually sell her shares for cash.

Holding back her fury, Leah asked, "What did you need that much money for?"
