The maid, hearing Lisa's outburst, hurried to the living room, concern etched on her face. "Miss Lisa, is everything alright? Can I get you anything?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly. Lisa's glare could have frozen lava. "I want Claire dead, and I want you to leave me alone," she spat out, her words laced with venom.

The maid flinched at the intensity of Lisa's anger, her eyes wide with shock. She knew Lisa's feelings towards Claire were no secret, but the extent of her hatred still managed to unsettle her. "I... I'll give you some space, Miss Lisa," the maid managed to stammer out before quickly excusing herself.

As the maid retreated, her mind raced with conflicting emotions. She had always favored Claire over Lisa, finding her employer's behavior erratic and often manipulative. However, she also knew better than to voice her opinions, especially considering Alexander Harris's unwavering affection for Lisa

The maid had witnessed Lisa's outbursts before, but each time she chose to turn a blind eye, fearing both Lisa's wrath and Alexander's reaction if he were to learn of Lisa's true nature.

Meanwhile, Lisa seethed with resentment, pacing the opulent living room as her thoughts spiraled in a whirlwind of anger and envy. She could not stand the idea of Claire getting the upper hand, whether it was in acquiring luxury items or in garnering favor from those around her.

Lisa stormed upstairs to her room, her emotions boiling over like a tempest. Without hesitation, she began to tear through her belongings, tossing clothes and accessories aside as if they were meaningless. Her walk-in closet, once a sanctuary of fashion and style, became a chaotic mess under her furious hands.

Amidst the chaos, Lisa's eyes fell upon her purse, a small yet significant item. Inside it was a photo of her and Claire, taken three years ago when they were still close friends. Lisa's hand trembled as she retrieved the photo, her expression twisted with anguish and resentment.

With a sudden surge of anger, Lisa took a pen and slashed Claire's face in the picture, the ink leaving a dark mark across Claire's smiling visage. Tears welled up in Lisa's eyes as she stared at the defaced image.
