Chapter 196 What a punch!

Claire met her gaze head-on, her voice steady. "Yes, Lisa. I called the police."

Lisa's eyes widened in fury. "How could you? You're going to ruin everything!"

Claire took a step closer, her expression unyielding. "Ruin what? Your suicide attempt?" Her face was cold, devoid of any sympathy. "Go on, Lisa. Perform your so-called suicide attempt." Lisa's face hardened. "Do you really want to see someone killed in your building? Think about how that will affect your company."

Claire's lips curled into a small smirk. "I can easily find another building. Demolish this one and build a new one somewhere else. It's no big deal."

Lisa clenched her fists in aggravation, pointing a finger at Claire. "Just because you're rich doesn't mean you can do anything you want."

Claire chuckled. "Money can indeed make me do anything. Even if you married Alex, money can't buy you class. You'll always be the same old Lisa from the countryside."

Lisa's eyes widened, shocked that Claire knew about her past. "How did you find out about that?"

Claire shrugged, teasingly. "It's not hard to find out anything when you have money."

Lisa had enough. Her rage boiled over as she lunged at Claire, causing them both to fall to the floor with Lisa on top.

Claire struggled underneath Lisa, trying to push her off. "Get off me, Lisa!"

Lisa's hands tightened around Claire's wrists, her eyes burning with anger. "Why are you doing this to me, Claire? What did I ever do to you?"

Claire managed to free one hand and shoved Lisa hard, trying to regain control. "You know exactly what you did, Lisa."

Matthew, who witnessed the attack, quickly rushed over and grabbed Lisa, trying to pull her off Claire. But Lisa was stubborn, her hands tightening around Claire's neck.

"Die!" Lisa screamed, her eyes wild with rage.

Claire punched Lisa's face that resulting her grasp to loosen, and Matthew took this opportunity to pulled Lisa harshly, finally prying her hands away from Claire's neck and gripping her arms tightly behind her back to prevent her from escaping. Claire coughed, glaring at Lisa as she struggled to her feet. "Are you trying to kill me again, Lisa?" she spat out, her voice hoarse.
