Chapter 204 Statement

"You..." her mother began, her voice trembling with rage.

Lisa's hand instinctively touched her cheek where the slap had landed, her eyes widening in shock. "What the heck was that for?" she demanded, her own anger rising to match her mother's. Her mother's expression hardened. "How could you end up in jail, Lisa?" she spat, the words laced with disgust.

Lisa frowned, trying to compose herself. "It was a misunderstanding," she said, the lie slipping out before she could stop it. She could see her mother wasn't buying it for a second.

Her mother scoffed, crossing her arms over her chest. "You're such a good liar," she said bitterly, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

The nervousness Lisa had felt earlier was quickly replaced by irritation. Crossing her arms over her own chest, she shot back, "Well, I learned from the best." Her eyes locked onto her mother's with a sharpness that made it clear she wasn't backing down. Her mother rolled her eyes, clearly unimpressed. "Why were you on top of that building, Lisa? The police inform me about your crazy doings! That was not part of the plan!" she snapped.

Without saying another word, she turned and walked towards the house, but before she could step inside, her mother pushed her back, blocking her path.

Her mother's eyes narrowed, a warning in her gaze. "Watch your tone, young lady."
