Chapter 510


    ?


    Lisa felt a rush of frustration and hurt hearing those words. "Dad, how can you say that? You had me, then lost me, leaving me to grow up in such a tough environment. All the love and resources that should''ve been mine went to Chloe. If I''d been raised with the same privileges she had, I''d be even more aplished than she is now. And if Chloe had been in my shoes, she''d be a messpared to me."


    Every time Leah heard Lisa talk like this, it was like a dagger twisting in her heart. In the past, she was filled with guilt, pity, and love for Lisa, eager to make up for everything with the best the world could offer. But now, Lisa''s constantints were wearing thin, and Leah''s patience was slipping. "Lisa, you''ve been back for more than three years. Have you made any progress?" Leah asked calmly. "The mix-up at birth wasn''t something we wanted or caused. It was an ident, fate''s doing. Are you nning to use this as an excuse for your failures forever?"


    "In these three years, I got you etiquette teachers to learn manners and high society''s ways. What have you learned? We wanted to send you abroad to enhance your education, but you didn''t want the challenge. We ced you in thepany to learn management, hoping to pass the business to you. Yet, you sold stocks worth a billion for just twenty million."

    Leah sighed, "You and Chloe are just different. Three years ago, she lost everything. Wasn''t that devastating? Falling from grace is far more painful than never having it. But look how she''s turned her life around in these three years."


    Leah looked Lisa in the eye, "Do you know the difference between you two? She neverins, she just keeps moving forward."


    But Lisa erupted, "In the end, you still


    think Chloe''s the golden child. Just because she climbed the socialdder and became the Sartori''s daughter-inw. But what''s the point when she did nothing to help the Meadows family when we needed it? Do you think Chloe still cares about you? She remembers every slight from the past three years, every single one." Content belongs

    "Chloe''s already written you off. In the end, I''m the only one you can count on. Just me."


    Leah was too disheartened to


    respond. But Jacob felt a twinge of emotion. Yes, even though he gave Chloe a 20% stake, she hadn''t lifted a finger to help thepany. Her attitude towards the Meadows family and Belle époque was how distant. She wasn''t the same as before.


    Jacob scoffed, "Rely on you? What do you have that we can count on?"

    Lisa shot back, "Chloe found herself a powerful ally, and I can do the same. Introduce me to the Shaw family. If can get in with them, do everything I can to lift the Meadows family and put Belle époque on the global luxury map." Content belongs to
