Chapter 193 Questioning Claire

Claire frowned in confusion and also wondering why Alexander was standing in front of her office. "Alexander?"

His expression is serious as he stared directly into Claire's eyes. Alexander stepped inside her office and made his way to her desk. "We need to talk Claire. Is important." Alex said firmly.

Claire stared at him for a moment, then nodded and offered him a seat. "Of course, please take a seat."

Matthew, who was still standing near the couch, looked at Alex suspiciously but didn't say anything. His eyes followed Alex's every move. Taking a seat in front of Claire, she turned to him, raising her brows. "So, what do you want to talk about? Is it about our project?" Alex shook his head. "No, as much as I want to discuss that, today is not the time. I'll keep it for another time."

Claire's curiosity piqued. "Then what do you want to talk about?"

Alex hesitated, then mentioned a name that made Claire freeze. "It's about Lisa."

Claire tried to keep her expression neutral. "What about her?"

Alex leaned forward, his tone serious. "Is it true that you want to put her in jail?"

Claire nodded slowly, leaning back in her chair with a challenging look. "Yes, it's true. Do you have a problem with that?"

Alex shook his head. "No, I just want to know why you decided to do that."

Claire leaned forward, a smirk curling up the corner of her lips. "Why, Alex? Have you fallen in love with Lisa again?"

Alex rolled his eyes. "No, Claire. I don't have any feelings for Lisa. She called me, and I just want to understand your reasons."

Claire's smirk faded, replaced by a more serious expression. "She called you? What does she said?"

Alex began, his voice steady but strained. "Yesterday, I got a call from Lisa. She was crying."

Claire raised an eyebrow, clearly skeptical. "Lisa was crying?"

Alex nodded, taking a seat across from her. "Yes. She said she needed my help because she made a terrible mistake, and you want to put her in jail." Claire's eyebrows shot up at that. "Well, at least she's not lying about making terrible mistakes."

Alex looked confused. "What do you mean by that?"
