Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chapter 608



No more would she have to put up with his threats.

A bunch of elderly folks gathered around Lisa, all nodding and saying, "Alright, alright, we'll back you up."

The police showed up soon after. However, by the time they arrived, the fire had already taken hold. Lisa watched the flames roaring, finally feeling a sense of relief. This fire would erase everything. Whether Ricky's accusations were true or not, whatever dirt he had on her, any evidence of wrongdoing would be gone in the blink of an eye. From this moment on, she could live freely, without anyone hanging anything over her head.

Lisa was quickly taken to the police station, with a few of the elderlies tagging along. They supported Lisa's story, repeating what she had just told them: how Ricky lost it, set the house ablaze, and how Ms. Chloe barely made it out before a gunshot rang out from inside, signaling Ricky's suicide. They spoke as if they'd witnessed the entire ordeal.

The police found the situation puzzling. Ricky, who had taken a hostage in a desperate escape, didn't hide but instead went back home to end his life. It didn't quite add up. And then there was the question of why he'd shoot Mrs. Moncada at her wedding. The police launched an investigation. Although Ricky was dead, there were still plenty of unanswered questions.

After giving her statement, Lisa was released. Firstly, in their eyes, she was merely a victim caught in the middle. Secondly, she had reached out to Anthony right after being taken to the station. Anthony came down personally to bail her out and drove her home. For now, the police didn't suspect her of anything. Lisa wasn't worried; even if they did look her way, they wouldn't find a shred of evidence. Plus, she had Claire's powerful backing

now.

Afterward, Anthony had her hop into his car, offering her a ride home. Once they were settled, he finally spoke up, "Lisa, you definitely have guts and brains."

"Even though a few things went off script, Ms. Claire still thinks highly of you," he added.This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.

Lisa was both surprised and delighted. She knew Claire's nemesis was Connor, and as Connor's wife, Chloe was also in Claire's crosshairs. So, even though Claire hadn't explicitly said it, she was undoubtedly in favor of Lisa getting rid of Chloe.

Lisa replied, "I'm grateful for Ms. Claire's confidence in me. It's just a shame things didn't pan out this time."

Anthony chuckled, "There's always

next time. No need to rush, Lisa. Oh, and speaking of which, Ms. Claire knows you're into jewelry design, so she wanted me to give you this as a little pick-me-up-a ticket to QUEEN's international jewelry exhibition."

With that, Anthony handed over a gleaming gold-embossed invitation. Lisa was over the moon. QUEEN's annual Christmas jewelry extravaganza was held at the historic royal palace in Eldridge City, and only 500 invitations were sent out. They were for QUEEN's top VIPS. The event attracted the world's elite and wealthiest, including Hollywood stars, Middle Eastern tycoons, and British royalty. Given its global reach, fewer than fifty invites were allotted domestically, mostly to the super-rich and A-list celebrities. Before all this, Chloe wouldn't have stood a chance of attending. But now, as Mrs. Sartori, it was anyone's guess.

Lisa was beyond excited. Rubbing shoulders at such a prestigious event meant even a chance

encounter could be life-changing et

Who knows, she might even bump into a real-life prince. Her fingers trembled with excitement as she tucked the invitation safely away.

Meanwhile, Linda had been rushed to the hospital. Things were looking grim—not just for her, but for the baby she was carrying, too.
