All Chapters of The Heiress Revenge : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

LISA'S POV As soon as dinner concluded, my father rose from his seat, his expression resolute. "It's time for us to leave," he announced, his tone firm.My mother nodded in agreement, her eyes darting towards Grandma, who looked taken aback. "So soon?" Grandma asked, her voice tinged with disappointment.My father's gaze avoided mine as he replied, "We've overstayed our welcome."Louisa, who had been quiet throughout dinner, spoke up. "I'll gather my belongings."As they prepared to depart, the atmosphere in the room grew increasingly tense. Unspoken words hung in the air, heavy with accusation and suspicion.Grandma escorted them to the door, her expression stern. "We need to discuss this further," she said, her voice low and urgent.My father's face tightened. "Not now, ma. We'll talk later."As they stepped out into the night, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. I didn't want them to stay, not with the tension between us.Leo walked with me to the door, his hand on my shoulder.

LISA'S POV I woke up before dawn, the darkness outside mirroring the turmoil within me. Leo's words still lingered in my mind, "I don't know if I can keep pretending, Lisa." Pretending what? That our marriage was just business? I couldn't shake off the feeling that he was playing me again.As I tossed off the covers, the chill of the morning air slapped me awake. I slipped into my robe and began my morning routine, determined to clear my head. The soft hum of the coffee maker and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the kitchen.I moved with precision, preparing breakfast and setting the table. The sunlight creeping through the windows highlighted the elegant china and crystal glasses, a stark contrast to the tension simmering beneath the surface.My father's company had been my life's focus since I was a teenager. Now, as Leo's wife, I was vulnerable to my father's wrath. Our marriage had ignited a firestorm of rivalry, with my father determined to test my loyalty.As I expertl

LISA'S POV"Who is this?" I typed, my thumbs hovering over the screen. "No names. Just come," the response read.I showed Leo the exchange. His eyes narrowed. "Don't go, Lisa. It's not safe."I understood his concern, but something about the message resonated. This could be our chance to uncover the truth. "I have to," I said, determination etched on my face.Leo's expression softened. "Then I'm coming with you." I shook my head. "The message said to come alone.""I don't care," Leo insisted. "I'm not letting you go into this blind.” His protectiveness warmed my heart, but I knew I had to do this alone. "Leo, please. Trust me."After a tense moment, he nodded. "Fine. But you're calling me the moment you arrive, and I'll be waiting nearby." I agreed, relief washing over me.At midnight, I pulled into the deserted office parking lot, the only sound the hum of the streetlights. The message had specified the north corner, so I parked there, my heart pounding. A figure emerged from the sha

LISA'S POV I trudged through the front door of my father's house, feeling like I'd been put through a wringer. The stress of the day weighed heavily on my shoulders.Dad looked up from his armchair, concern etched on his face. "Hey kiddo, how'd it go?"I flopped onto the couch beside him, letting out a deep sigh. "It was a disaster. Louisa's not giving up without a fight."Dad's expression turned grim. "I knew she wouldn't. She's always been ruthless."I rubbed my temples, trying to ward off the impending headache. "I don't know how much more of this I can take. She's constantly quarreling, trying to undermine me at every turn."Dad placed a reassuring hand on my shoulder. "You're doing great, Lisa. You're standing up for yourself and what's rightfully yours."But his words of encouragement did little to alleviate my frustration. "It's not just about me, Dad. It's about the company. Louisa's going to ruin everything Mom and you built."Dad's eyes clouded over, memories of my mother f

LISA'S POV I watched Leo's expression change, his eyes hardening as he nodded. "Take all the time you need." But I saw something else there, something that made my heart sink.Resentment. Frustration. Maybe even hatred. I felt a chill run down my spine as I realized Leo was tired of me, tired of the drama I'd brought into his life. Tired of me.I took a step back, feeling like I'd been punched in the gut. "Leo, I—" I began. But he cut me off. "Just take the time, Lisa. Think about what you want." His voice was cold, detached.I nodded, feeling tears prick at the corners of my eyes. This was it. This was the end. I turned and walked away, leaving Leo standing alone in the room.As I closed the door behind me, I felt a sense of despair wash over me. I'd lost him. I'd lost everything. I wandered through the streets, my mind reeling with thoughts of Leo, of my family, of the mess I'd made.How had it come to this? How had I let things spiral so out of control?I stopped in front of a sma
