Chapter 139: Only One Way To Find Out
Brooke watched from the window, her heart a churning mix of envy and resentment, as Brandon’s car pulled up to the Chadwick mansion. Seeing Brandon emerge first and go around to help Lyse, looking delicate and vulnerable out of the car, ignited a burning rage within her.
She was itching to go down there and drag Lyse by her hair away from her man. She had worked too hard for Lyse to just swoop in and take away Brandon, she could not stand it and she wanted to erupt hot lava of jealousy.
He had never been that gentle with her, that sweet and caring, even at the height of his attraction to her when they were sneaking around. All he had cared about was ensuring that she kept her mouth shut and never let Lyse know what they were doing behind her back.
Brandon’s constant attention, his carefully crafted façade of devotion, was like a knife twisting in her gut. She could not bear it any longer, she wondered what Brandon would do if Lyse disappeared suddenly. Would he have no other choice than to get back with her?
Brooke realized that there was only one way to find out, Lyse had to go for good.
The thought had been festering in her mind after Lyse refused to help her with her work, a dark seed taking root and blossoming into a twisted plan. Lyse’s amnesia had presented an unexpected opportunity for her, and since Lyse was not living up to her expectations there was no point suffering her presence.
Having come to a decision about what she needed to do, Brooke picked up her phone and made a call. Lottie would be very upset when she found out, but she would get over it eventually.
Later that day, Brooke paced nervously, her earlier panic subsiding, replaced by a chilling resolve. Lottie sat calmly on the sofa, a glass of amber liquid swirling in her hand, her expression serene, almost chillingly so.
"She is becoming a big problem," Brooke said, her voice tight. "I can’t stand her walking around like everything is normal, I just wish she would disappear forever."
