New beginning: Billionaire love story (Claire and Alex) novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156 Another day another scheming 

Lisa sat in her bedroom at her mother house. Lately she has been feeling frustrated, anxious and despairing. 

Day by day, her goal of making Alexander Harris hers seemed to slip further out of reach. The last phone call she had with Alex had been disaster. He hadn’t been pleased to hear her voice and had cut the conversation short, not even bothering to listen to her explanations. She had been forced to change her number after Alex had blocked her, a move that stung more than she cared to admit. 

Lisa’s alliance with Gretta, who also harbored a deep–seated hatred for Claire, had promised a chance to finally give Claire the lesson they believed she deserved. Both women shared the same target, and Lisa had agreed to help Gretta, seeing the potential benefit for herself. However, their efforts had yielded no progress. 

She thought back to the time they had unexpectedly encountered Claire at the golf club. It had been a chance meeting, an accident. Lis Gretta had gone there to discuss their plans, only to run into Claire. It was as if the universe had conspired to remind them of their enemy 

What had truly shocked them, though, was discovering that Claire was a member of the prestigious LHS club. None of them had anticip this, and it complicated matters significantly. Lisa had known about the exclusivity and influence of the LHS club, but seeing Claire as a p it was hard to digest. It made her task seem even more daunting. 

As she sat on her bed, trying to arrange a new plan to bring Claire down, a knock on the door startled her. She looked up to see her mother standing in the doorway, raising her eyebrows at the sight of her daughter staring blankly. 

Lisa’s mother stepped into her room. Her mother walked over and sat at the foot of the bed, her eyes filled with concern. 

“Are you still thinking about Alex?” she asked, her tone resigned. 

Lisa nodded, feeling a surge of frustration and anger. “Yes, Mum, I am. I can’t stop thinking about him and how everything is falling ap Her mother sighed. “I understand, honey. But you have to keep trying.” 

Lisa’s frustration boiled over. “I have tried everything you told me to do! I’ve followed all your advice, but it still hasn’t worked. It’s your f for giving me such bad advice!” 

Her mother frowned, her expression hardening. “Maybe you haven’t tried hard enough, Lisa. Or maybe you couldn’t act convincingly, and that’s why Alex could see through your lies from a mile away.” 

Lisa rolled her eyes. “Just go out of my room, Mum. I don’t want to talk about this anymore.” 

But her mother was determined. “I only want to help you get what you want, Lisa. We’re so close. We can’t give up now.” 

Lisa shook her head profusely, her voice rising. “I don’t need your help! It’s all been a waste. Every single thing you told me to do backfir Just leave me alone.” 

“That’s because you are not doing it right!” 

Lisa got up from her bed and stared at her mother in anger. “I am not doing it right?! Mum, I did exactly what you told me. I cut my wrist, I called him and even swallowed my pride even after Alex rejected me twice.” 

Her mother sighed and approached her. “Lisa, my dear. Getting what you want is not as easy as you thought it would be. I told you that I w once in your shoes. I went through so much but trust me dear it will be worth it.” she tuck a strands of Lisa hair behind her ear. 

Lisa sat down on the bed feeling despair at the situation. “I–I don’t know mum. I’m on the verge of giving up. I will be okay to not have Alex long as if I can’t have him then I don’t want anyone to have Alex.” 

Her mother narrowed her eyes at Lisa wondering who the woman is her daughter referring too. “Is this that Claire woman you are referrin too?” 

Lisa turned to her mother and nodded. “Yes. I have a feeling Alex developed feelings to Claire and she is playing hard to get.” 

“Have you already make a plan?” 

Lisa scrunched her eyebrow as she was thinking hard. “No, mum. I don’t have any, but I’m thinking of a plan.” 

She sat next to Lisa which made her turn towards her. “Don’t tell me you are already thinking about it.” Lisa narrowed her eyes at her mother, having a strong feeling that she might already be thinking about a plan. 

“Well, yes, but I-” Lisa cut her off before her mother even finished her sentence. “Listen, Mum. Thank you for helping me but I will deal with this myself.” 

“But Lisa, just hear me out, okay? If you don’t like my plan, it’s your choice to use it or not. I am merely helping you.” 

Lisa was silent for a moment then nodded her head. “Okay, what plan do you have?” 

“Remember when you told me you are the third person in Alex and Claire relationship?” Lisa nodded. “Yes.”
