Chapter 999

• Simon stepped into the house, switched on the lights, and spoke in a gentle tone, as if trying to soothe a child. “Liza, believe me, I don’t want to see you suffer either. But for the sake of the Rhett family, I have no other choice. If you just listen and stay here quietly, I promise I’ll do my best to make sure you’re comfortable.”
• Liza let out a cold laugh. “So, you’re planning to imprison me? Where exactly in this villa do you think I should stay?”
• Before Simon could respond, Grandma Rhett snapped furiously. “You little wretch! Do you think you deserve to stay in this house? You’re not worthy! Simon, there’s an old house in the suburbs. Send her there and have people watch her day and night. Chain her up if necessary—we can’t risk her escaping.”
