Chapter 583

Chloe was completely out of the loop on everything. She hadn't thought about Lisa in ages. Connor had been so sure Lisa would end up behind bars that Chloe stopped paying any attention. But when Connor broke the news to her, looking all serious, Chloe was floored. "How on earth did that happen? Who bailed her out?" she asked, baffled. Clearly, Lisa couldn't have pulled off such a miraculous escape on her own. Someone had to be pulling strings from the shadows.

With a touch of sarcasm, Chloe wondered, "Was it the Meadows family paying off the paparazzi?" Connor shook his head, still looking grave. "No, the Meadows family wasn't involved this time; they just don't have that kind of pull."

The evidence against Lisa had been rock-solid. Plus, it was CNR's legal team that filed the lawsuit. Turning that kind of situation around wasn't something you did on a whim. Chloe seemed to piece something together.

Connor sighed, "I'm sorry, Chloe." Chloe jumped in, "It was you, wasn't it, Chloe?" Connor nodded, "She bribed quite a few people and got the top lawyer in the country, Anthony, on board."

Anthony was a legend in the legal world, known for never losing a case. But he only took on cases for the filthy rich, often twisting the truth and exploiting loopholes in the law. Chloe scoffed, "So much for integrity and justice. It's just a climb for power and wealth, totally blurring right and wrong. It's a real disgrace."

Connor reassured her, "Don't worry. They may have blindsided us this time, but we can still go after Lisa legally. I'm not letting her slip away." Chloe nodded, "I'm not worried about Lisa going to jail; I'm worried about you, Chloe."
