Linda was the one who sent them. A few photos had come through, and both she and Chloe were dressed head to toe in white. Linda was in her wedding dress, while Chloe was rocking a bridesmaid's dress that could easily rival the bridal gown in design and fabric. at the photo. Linda's satisfied smile, with a glimmer of tears in her eyes, was oddly unsettling.

Together, they looked like they belonged on a magazine cover-complementing each other perfectly, like the sun and the moon sharing the sky. Chloe had just mentioned she'd be a bridesmaid for Linda, but for some reason, Connor felt a strange unease when he looked

Connor couldn't shake off the uncomfortable feeling in his gut. The last time he felt this way was when he thought Chloe had a thing for Lucas. But why did he feel so on edge about Linda? It was almost laughable, he thought. Yet, the more he stared at the photo, the more things didn't sit right with him.

Linda had what she wanted. Why would she hang around? Connor reflected on Linda's past antics, and his face grew more serious. Could there be more to this?

Chloe came back soon after. She hadn't eaten at the cafeteria but had brought her meal back with her. Connor was in the middle of a video call, and Chloe settled on the sofa, eating her takeout. Connor seemed distracted, his gaze often drifting towards Chloe.

The meeting wrapped up quickly, and Chloe was still working on her meal. Connor joined her, but he kept his thoughts to himself. He wasn't sure about his suspicions and voicing them would only stir up unnecessary trouble. Better to see what Linda was really up to first.

Meanwhile, there was Lisa. She had

been stuck in detention for half a month, feeling like a shadow of her former self. Nobody had come to check on her-not Jacob, not Leah. She had called countless times, but they never showed, insisting this was her karma for past mistakes.

Lisa never believed she was wrong. If anyone was, it was Chloe. How could a fake heiress steal her identity? Chloe, who should've been scrounging in the gutters, had taken her place and soared like a phoenix. How could Lisa ever be okay with that?

But eventually, Lisa had to swallow her pride. Without the Meadows family's support, she was staring down the barrel of a prison sentence. CNR's lawyers had visited to inform her she was being formally charged, with the trial set in three days.

Lisa knew if the Meadows family cut

her off, she was heading straight to prison. She dreaded it, knowing tog well how sharp CNR's lawyers could be. A sentence of eight to ten years would mean losing the best years of her life and having a criminal record hanging over her.

She hated the Meadows family for abandoning Rer. Desperate, she called Ann. Chloe was tight with Ann now, and maybe Ann could convince Chloe to drop the charges. Ideally, Ann could even get a letter of forgiveness, making the police back

off and let her go.

Ann showed up quickly, clueless about Lisa's situation. Once she arrived, the police laid out the whole story. Ann discovered Lisa was detained because she had drugged Chloe three years ago, intending to ruin her reputation. In the visitation room, Lisa, handcuffed, was brought in. The policewoman by her side sternly announced, "You've got fifteen minutes to talk. Make it count."
