Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 585

Leah and Jacob were taken aback to see Lisa walk through the door. Today was supposed to be her court day, and Leah, having done her homework, expected Lisa to be looking at a minimum of seven years behind bars, given the charges. Over the past few weeks, Leah hadn't visited Lisa, but she had quietly pulled some strings to make her time in detention a bit more comfortable—at least Lisa got her own room and better living conditions than most.

Confident in the groundwork she had laid and with Jacob being discharged from the hospital, Leah had skipped the court appearance. She didn't fancy witnessing Lisa's potential outburst in court. With Lisa's fiery personality, Leah thought, let her do her time; she needs to learn a lesson. Once locked up, Leah planned to work on getting her sentence reduced. But to her surprise, Lisa walked right back home.

“How did you manage to get out?” Leah asked, a mix of surprise and confusion in her voice.

Lisa flashed a grin, “Disappointed, huh? I've been acquitted.”

Leah was momentarily stunned. Could Chloe have backed out at the last second? But that seemed unlikely, especially on the day of the trial.

Lisa continued, “Why are you so shocked? Were you hoping I'd end up in prison? Let me tell you, you’re my real parents, and you’re stuck with me for life.”

With that, Lisa bolted inside the house.

Jacob, still recovering and not ready for this kind of stress, was fuming, “Ungrateful girl, are you trying to finish me off?”

Fresh out of the hospital and not a single concern for his health from her, just venomous words.

“If you drop dead, it’s not on me. Your partiality is to blame. I’m your biological daughter, yet you only see Chloe. If you die from anger, that’s your own doing.”
