Lisa was really caught up in it. But where on earth was she supposed to come up with twenty million? She had even sold a lot of her designer clothes. Yet, she was desperate to break free from this nightmare. So, she went ahead and sold shares in her company, worth a billion, just to get that twenty million. At the time, she had no idea what she was thinking. She knew it was a huge loss, and she knew Leah and Jacob would be disappointed in her. But she was just so eager to cut ties with the past, to finally put it all behind her. In her rush to find a quick fix, she sold the shares. She thought she'd finally stop waking up in a panic every night. Thought she wouldn't have to face that endless pit every morning. But to her dismay, it wasn't long before things spiraled back to the way they were. He was completely unreliable and had no principles. That's when Lisa realized she'd been duped. The twenty million had barely made a dent. She had wasted shares worth a billion for nothing. Lisa's regret was overwhelming.

When Rat heard Lisa's frustration, he immediately turned nasty: "Oh, you don't want to help me? Don't expect to have it easy then. I'll spill your secret, and let's see how you keep your status as the first daughter of the Meadows family. Remember, I didn't just see it; I recorded it. I'll throw the video online..."

""Ricky, don't you dare!"

"What's stopping me? I've got nothing to lose. If push comes to shove, we both go down!"

Ricky had that careless, rogue air about him. Lisa's fingers clenched, her teeth grinding. She felt like a snake being held by the neck, ready to strike but unable to. And any moment, she could be crushed. Seeing Lisa's face flush with anger, Rat started sweet-talking her: "This is the last time, I swear. Help me gather this six hundred thousand, and I promise I'll never bother you or Chloe again."
