Novel Full Chapter 561 - Fooled
Hearing that makes Lisa frowned. She had just woken up with a headache, and the first thing she had to experience was being insulted by Oscar? Her mood immediately changed drastically.
"Hey, if you're a person, don't pretend to be holy! If someone apologizes to you, why should you reject that person's apology? Maria asked me to come and I didn't have another choice!"
"Why do you care so much about this? You'd better go home to your beautiful new girlfriend!" Lisa continued curtly.
"Wait, you don't understand what I mean!" Oscar interrupted in a rising tone, "I'm telling you that because I'm worried! I just don't want you to go out with Maria again and trust that woman! Lisa, have you forgotten what she did to you?"
Lisa knew Oscar was aware that she didn't have a good relationship with Maria. Like opposite magnets— if she had to describe their relationship. But Oscar didn't know that now she and Maria had forgiven each other.
This caused Lisa to explain, "No, you don't know what I mean. I used to have disagreements with Maria, but now I'm fine with her! I have forgiven her, and Maria has forgiven me. Maria has also promised that she won't look for trouble with me again."
"Can't I be friends with Maria? I just don't want to have enemies in this world."
Oscar chuckled dryly at Lisa's ridiculous explanation. He got up from his couch and walked over to her. "Since when did you and Maria forgive each other, hmm?"
"Y.. Yesterday! That's why I agreed to go with her to dinner last night." Lisa's reply was no less furious.
Oscar looked at her innocent attitude with a look of disbelief. Sometimes he doesn't know whether Lisa is really innocent or stupid. But this time, he was sure that Lisa was being stupid.
Oscar used to think that Lisa was a forgiving woman who didn't like to hold grudges against other people. But last night, seeing Lisa lying unconscious, he thought that Lisa was someone that could be easily taken advantage of and fooled.
So Lisa doesn't even know that now she has been fooled by Maria.
At first, Oscar didn't want to tell Lisa what really happened. There was a feeling that Lisa couldn't bear to think that she was caught in Maria's trap. Besides, the problem was solved. Oscar got Robert's voice recording, and most importantly, Lisa survived.
So why did he have to tell Lisa what happened yesterday?
But now, hearing Lisa's ridiculous explanation made Oscar's stomach tingle. He couldn't wait to reveal Maria's dark secret. Luckily, he recorded Robert's explanation yesterday!
"Just listen to this!"
After holding Oscar's cell phone, Lisa looked at the man with irritated eyes. Of course she didn't immediately believe what Oscar said about how bad Maria or Robert were. Knowing that man, once he doesn't like someone, he will do everything to badmouth them.
Curiosity welled up in her chest when Oscar held out his cell phone at her. What recording did the man want her to listen to now?
As soon as the voice recording filled Oscar's room, Lisa's face was blank. She couldn't believe what she was hearing now. Her brows and lips wrinkled, and she felt that all this time she was still being toyed with by Maria.
After the tape finished playing, she knew that Maria took her to a hotel room last night. But she wasn't sure if yesterday was real or just a dream.
One after another, the memories began to fill her mind. Starting from the strong taste of the drink, and the feeling of dizziness and not to mention the severe nausea that made her unable to see clearly. Until finally, she remembered the face of Robert who lay beside her in a strange room.
Oscar took his cell phone from Lisa's hand and said, "Didn't I tell you not to get close to Robert or Maria anymore? Now look what happened to you because you didn't listen to my words. Why is it so hard for you to listen to me, Lisa?"
"If I hadn't come to your rescue last night, God knows what's going to happen next!"
Oscar's voice was quivering and tinged with guilt. His heart felt like it was stabbed as soon as he saw Lisa's eyes that looked empty. Honestly, if he hadn't followed his hunch and looked for her, Oscar didn't know what would have happened to that woman.
Lisa would definitely lose her job, her confidence, and most importantly, she wouldn't be able to smile anymore. And when that happened, Oscar didn't know what to do but kill Maria and Robert.
Lisa saw the look on Oscar's face that looked tense and also full of guilt. Her heart felt hot, not because of the alcohol she had consumed but the burning rage that started to take over.
Again, she fell into the same hole and worse, the hole was dug by her mortal enemy. She felt emotional because she let herself be fooled by Maria. And secondly, why did she trust Robert so much with the drink he gave her?
Anyone with brains wouldn't leave their drink to a stranger, especially when they'd just met at a formal dinner.
Last night, Oscar came and became her savior again. Lisa couldn't imagine what would happen if the man didn't come at the right time.
For the next few moments, neither of them made a sound. Oscar was busy observing the shocked look on Lisa's face. While Lisa was busy with her own thoughts.
Lisa felt humiliated, disgusted, and also very stupid. It's true what Oscar said. Why does she always trust other people so easily? Look, she has been fooled several times and she keeps trusting people blindly after that.
"Thank you," Lisa suddenly said in a tone that still sounded shocked, "Thanks for saving me yesterday..."
Oscar sighed, "It's fine. This has happened and cannot be changed. But I just want to say that from now on, you should take good care of yourself. Don't trust people right away."
"You have become a mother, Lisa. You already have a child.. From now on, don't be stupid again, or you will destroy your life. William is still too young, do you have the heart to let your child lose his mother?"
