New beginning: Billionaire love story (Claire and Alex) novel Chapter 191

Lisa eyes widen as if her eyes popping out of her socket.

“Sue me? Did I hear you wrong?”

“Nope,” she said popping up the ‘P’. “You heard me right.”

Lisa scoffed in disbelief. “The person who should be suing you is me not you. You drugged me then kidnapped me. I don’t even know where I am.”

Claire rolled her eyes. “Listen Lisa. I can sue you not just for defamation but also for the things that you did to me like violation of privacy and the list goes on. I could list it if you want me to.” Claire said with a teasing smile on her face.

“I-I-” Lisa was tongue tied as she didn’t know how to respond. “I don’t understand. How are you so calm after the news about you blow up on social media?”

“It did blow up thanks to you, but I handle the situation pretty well especially after the press conference.”

A look of confusion crossed Lisa face as she scrunched her brows. “Press conference? What press conference?”

Claire masked a look of surprised. “You don’t know? This morning, I held a press conference with Alex, and you know what? Everything is going well.”

“I- how come I don’t know? I mean I don’t see a news about it online.”

A chuckled escaped Claire’s lips. “Well, I can say my advisor did something to your phone so any news about the press conference are blocked on your phone.”

“You bitch?!” She clenched her first then tossed the cup of tea that Claire was holding. “How could you?”

“What the-” Claire was caught off guard.

The sound of the glass clatter and shatter to the floor filled the room.

“You trick me! You trick me into believing that everything went according to my plan.” Lisa said in disbelief.

“I did not trick you. I did what sane people would do. You leaked my marriage with Alex.”

“I have no choice, Claire! I did not want to do it. You made me do all this.”

Claire frowned hearing another lame excuse. “I’m sick and tired hearing you saying the same excuses over and over again.”

Turning on her heels, Claire walked to the couch to grab her bag. “You will receive a letter from my lawyer in a few days. Be ready.” she said firmly.

Hearing that, Lisa grew very anxious and also angry. She fumbled with the end of her skirt nervously. She didn't want to go to jail; she couldn't risk it because it would ruin her future.

Lisa didn't know what came over her as she suddenly ran towards Claire and pushed her down onto the couch. Her hands made their way to Claire's neck. Lisa, with a crazed look in her eyes, screamed.

“I don’t want to go to jail! If I have to, I’d rather commit a crime than let you win!”

Claire struggled to break free from Lisa's grasp. Her face turned red as she tried to push Lisa away. “Lisa, let go!” Claire gasped; her voice strained.

Lisa looked at Claire and grinned as if she was losing her mind. “Die, Claire! No one will remember you!”
