Max Mo had just left when Lisa Li burst out of the room. She was about to chase after him but was stopped by Sophie Mo, who grabbed her arm and demanded, "What are you doing?"
Lisa Li screamed hysterically, "Where is Max going? Is he abandoning me? Is he leaving me behind? He can't leave me! I want to go with him!"
Sophie Mo gripped her arm tightly, unable to bear Lisa's crazed appearance, and shouted, "What are you afraid of? I'm still here!"
"What good are you here? Will you protect me? When there's danger, you only care about yourself. Max would never abandon me!" Lisa Li struggled desperately. "Let me go, I want to find Max!"
Sophie Mo let out a bitter laugh, "So in your eyes, I'm just that selfish and cold-hearted."
"Sophie Mo, let go! I want to be with Max!" Lisa Li kept making a scene, completely oblivious to the situation.
The people nearby watched Lisa Li with somber expressions, their eyes filled with disgust.
If the CEO hadn't insisted on bringing her, none of them would want to serve this so-called 'lady.' Even the real heiress of their family was never this arrogant.
Who does she think she is?!
Sophie Mo finally lost her patience and slapped Lisa Li across the face. Her voice was icy as she said, "If you keep making trouble, I'll throw you out. Max is already far away, and even if you cry your heart out, he won't hear you. Out there, Samuel Qu's men are everywhere. Guess what will happen if you get caught by them."
With that, Sophie Mo shoved Lisa Li hard and said coldly, "Do you still think you can throw a tantrum like a spoiled heiress at a time like this? You really think you're the lady of the house? The real heiress of the Mo Family is me, Sophie Mo! Who do you think you are, screaming in front of me? I'm only tolerating you for my brother's sake, but don't push your luck! Remember, this manor belongs to the Mo Family, not the Li Family!"
Lisa Li clutched her cheek, stumbled back two steps, and stood there silently.
At last, she'd calmed down.
With Max Mo gone, the only master of this manor was Sophie Mo.
If she kept making a scene, Sophie Mo really might throw her out.
Seeing Lisa Li finally calm down, Sophie Mo sneered, "Clueless idiot! You don't even realize you're being used. If my brother hadn't told me to go easy on you, do you think you'd still be standing here talking to me? Back home, you could throw fits all you wanted, but now, with life and death on the line, if you keep causing trouble, don't blame me for showing no mercy! I'll deal with you later!"
After saying that, Sophie Mo ordered her assistant, "Lock her in her room. No one lets her out without my permission!"
"Yes, Miss!" the staff replied loudly.
Exactly.
Sophie Mo was the true heiress of the Mo Family. Who did Lisa Li think she was, acting all high and mighty?
