Seeing Lisa in such agony was hard for Chloe to ignore. She cut to the chase: "I'll be there soon."
In no time, Chloe's car was once again parked in the driveway of the Meadows family's garden villa. She walked in to find Jacob lounging on the couch, eyes glued to stock market updates. He huffed at her arrival and turned away.
Chloe didn’t pay him any mind and headed straight upstairs. Jacob, irked, stood up, pointing at her retreating figure: "Chloe, do you even care about me anymore?"
Ignoring the outburst, Chloe made her way to Lisa's room, where Leah was nursing Lisa with some water. After a sip, Lisa, with a bit of newfound energy, began to lash out.
"Chloe, I'm going to kill you. One day, I swear, I'll do it!"
Chloe approached slowly, her voice icy: "Haven't you already 'killed' me once?"
The room went dead silent. Lisa's eyes were a mix of anger and fear as they met Chloe's. Leah looked taken aback, asking, "Chloe, what do you mean by that?"
Chloe wasn't in the mood to elaborate. She brushed it off with a simple, "It's nothing."
Lisa feared Chloe had uncovered something. But with Ricky gone, there was no proof. Even if Chloe claimed they knew each other and conspired, she could just accuse Chloe of slander.
