Chapter 296 It’s a Trap

Claire raised an eyebrow. “Revenge? You mean this is all because of Alexander Harris?” She threw the name out like a grenade, waiting to see if it would blow up in Lisa’s face. It did. Lisa's eyes lit up for a second, and then she smiled, a wide, unhinged grin spreading across her face. “Oh, I see you’re not as clueless as you look.” Claire’s lips curled into a smirk, enjoying the slight power shift, even if she was tied to a chair. “You’re pathetic, you know that? Even after Alexander rejected you not once, but twice, you’re still stuck on him. He doesn’t even care about you.” Her words were sharp, designed to cut deep. Lisa’s smile faltered, her expression going icy in an instant. Claire could tell she’d hit a nerve. Good. She needed to keep Lisa distracted, and off-balance. Sure, being tied to a chair in the middle of a deserted shack wasn’t ideal, but Claire wasn’t about to sit there quietly and wait for things to get worse. Lisa, trying to shake off the blow, crossed her arms.
