Chapter 624: If you can’t stand me, then you may leave! (2/2)

Before she went on to sort out and digest the memories, Han Shuo had instructed her to look for him at this place upon completing the memory cleanup. Han Shuo had calculated ahead of time and knew that Lisa would have completely digested the memories by then. He had taken Fanny, Phoebe, and Emily to this place at this particular time to resolve the matter.

Lisa still appeared rather timid even after Han Shuo soothed her in a soft voice. This was because, on one hand, she was aware that she wasn’t in an honorable position at this moment, and on the other hand, Fanny, Phoebe and Emily were well-known and awe-inspiring women who were successful their careers. Not only did each and every one of them possess valiant strength, they even had elite family backgrounds.

After the decline of her family, Lisa had always felt inferior in her heart. Besides, it was perfectly normal to feel somewhat inferior before the three most dazzling women in Lancelot Empire.

“So this is the girl?” Phoebe grew even more enraged when she saw how tenderly Han Shuo treated Lisa. She looked at Lisa with cold eyes and groaned, “Little girl, pretty skilled, aren’t you? Managed to enchant him in just a short few days. You sure are remarkable,”

Lisa panicked. She hastily waved her hands and explained, “It’s not what you think! I already knew Bryan from an earlier time, long before you!”

“So what if you knew him first? Don’t you think that I know nothing. I know that it is you who had nearly killed him back then. But now that Bryan has become successful, you decided to tangle around him and not let him go. Is it not so?” Having experienced all kinds of despicable matters in the business world, Phoebe viewed all matters subjectively and therefore believed that to be the case.

“Phoebe, what are you talking about? Lisa is my student. I know better than anyone what kind of a person she is. If she really was someone like you said she was, I would have told Bryan about that long ago. Can you not hurt others’ feelings when you know nothing?” Fanny felt that Phoebe’s words were rather mean. Although they were on the same battlefront, she couldn’t bear to listen and do nothing.

Phoebe and Fanny had become very close and without hostility since a long time ago. The three ladies had frequently met up to reminisce about the interactions they had with Han Shuo to lessen their intense longing for Han Shuo during his years of absence. Over time, the three had built up a close relationship.

Phoebe did not refute Fanny’s criticism but sized Lisa up with her brows furrowed. Perhaps it was because Han Shuo was being so gentle to Lisa, since no matter what, Lisa was just displeasing to her eyes. She continued with a cold voice, “As you can see, Bryan already has the three of us. Regardless of what is actually on your mind, you should know when it is time to retreat. Whichever angle I try to look, you just don’t fit in next to Bryan.”

Lisa’s eyes were instantly filled with tears when Phoebe told her so. “I, I love him!” she cried out as she stubbornly looked at Han Shuo.

“Love? Do you know what love is?” Phoebe sneered. The more she thought of Han Shuo repeatedly getting into love affairs, the more her heart was filled with hatred. She furiously groaned, “Any kind of relationship mixed with benefits is not love!”

She did not acknowledge Fanny’s words from earlier. She still believed that Lisa had seduced Han Shuo for his position and power.

“I love him, completely and unconditionally!” Lisa tearfully shrieked. After finishing those words, she looked at Han Shuo helplessly, as though he was her everything.

“I don’t believe you!” Phoebe coldy scoffed.

“I believe you!” Unexpectedly, Emily, who had kept silent all along, and Fanny suddenly voiced at the same time.

“You, you two… “ Phoebe was stunned for a moment before she turned to squint at Fanny and Emily angrily. She had no idea why the two would prop up an outsider.

“Enough!” Han Shuo coldly groaned. He then looked at Phoebe in a rather displeased manner and said, “Enough of talking about this. From now on Lisa will be your younger sister. As elder sisters, you should look after her and show her consideration. Don’t make things so unpleasant for her.”

“I will not admit her as my sister!” Phoebe said coldly. The more Han Shuo sheltered Lisa, the angrier Phoebe got.

Compared to Emily and Fanny, Phoebe was much more possessive. She had been repressing her grievance for Han Shuo’s unfaithfulness for too long. And now, she finally detonated.

Han Shuo had limited patience. Seeing Phoebe continue to be so menacing even as Lisa was crying her eyes out, Han Shuo was incensed from the heart. He fumed, “I don’t care if you admit or not, if you can’t stand me, then you may leave me. You don’t get to veto over my decisions!”

“What, what did you say?” Phoebe who had been icily arrogant all along, suddenly pointed at Han Shuo in disbelief and said in a trembling voice.

“If you can’t stand me, then you may leave!” Han Shuo repeated coldly out of anger. He then pulled Lisa away as she cried uncontrollably and left without giving Phoebe another look.

Phoebe cried out bitterly as soon as Han Shuo left, “Ah!!! How could he be so heartless, how could he say that!”
