Chapter 187
Lisa was fuming.
Chloe was dead set on ruining Lisa's image in front of Connor.
Trying to salvage her reputation, Lisa said, "Connor, that's not what I meant. I'm just blunt by nature. I couldn't stand to see you deceived by my sister. She's been married for three years now. That's the absolute truth. Her husband loves someone else, and Chloe's been fooling around, too. Connor, please don't let my sister fool you."
Lisa always felt that Chloe had snagged Connor with her looks. She believed they hadn't even known each other for long.
It's just a fleeting affair, nothing more - how could there be any real feelings?
Connor's gaze shifted away from Chloe. When he looked at Lisa, his expression was cold and indifferent. "I remember Chloe has already cut ties with the Meadows family. So, please refrain from calling her sister so affectionately. It inevitably makes one feel like you're trying to claim a relationship." Lisa was so frustrated she almost laughed.
How could Connor not grasp the main point of her argument? Besides, she was the legitimate daughter of the Meadows family. Why would she need to claim any relationship with an impostor?
"Connor, Chloe is fickle and flirtatious. She's got a beautiful facade with nothing underneath. Haven't you heard that the prettier a woman is, the more deceptive she can be?"
Lisa was beyond caring at this point. She was known for being straightforward, and she didn't feel the need to hold back in front of Connor.
Connor's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness. He was about to say something, but Chloe gently patted his back, saying lightly, "Let me handle this." Chloe stepped forward and grabbed Lisa's chin. With a gentle but firm twist, there was a crack.
Lisa's jaw... was dislocated.
Lisa's eyes widened in disbelief. Moments ago, she was reveling in the pleasure of berating Chloe. But suddenly, she couldn't speak. Sharp pain radiated from her jaw. She tried to close her mouth but couldn't.
Lisa, trembling, pointed at Chloe, trying to say something, but her words were incomprehensible. Saliva uncontrollably dribbled out.
Chloe clapped her hands. "Better get to the hospital, or it might not go back in place. Don't blame me then."
Lisa was terrified, stumbling into the elevator with a trail of saliva behind her.
Connor, witnessing this scene, was quite surprised. "Chloe, what other surprises do you have that I don't know about?"
Chloe smiled. "That's a secret."
After she followed Connor back to his office, Chloe asked, "What did Lisa want with you?"
Connor returned to his desk. "I was just about to tell you. Lisa has
appealed to the appellate court)
the trial will be reopened in half a month."
Chloe guessed as much that Lisa was here because of this. Chloe nodded. "What are the chances the new@vidence will overturn the verdict?"
Connor raised an eyebrow. "Don't you trust me? Sartori Corporation has the best legal team in the world."
Chloe smiled. "Then I'll make sure to personally invite Leah to the hearing."
Connor looked at her, his gaze tender. "You little devil."
After discussing Lisa, Connor suddenly remembered something. "What brought you here all of a sudden?"
