Chapter 412 The Lady Of the Xia Clan
Chapter 412 The Lady Of the Xia Clan
May had been arranged to live in solitary after Johnson's visit. May believed it was because of
Johnson. She was a little touched for his kindness given what she had done to him. Living in a single
room by herself was more comfortable than in a group room. She had some privacy now.
She had lost her freedom after she was put in prison.
Now, she was trapped in a cage like a bird, and she didn't know when she could get out. Everyday, she
was forced to work. She had never done any manual labor before. Life in prison was, for her, a living
death. She once was wife to Johnson, the lord of the Xia clan, but here, she was a prisoner who had to
work hard. It was hard for her to put up with such kind of life.
May wondered who would visit her in prison. She hastily cleared the worktable and rushed to her cell to
find out.
Before she walked into her cell, she saw a woman sitting on her bed from a distance. It wasn't a man,
so it could not be Johnson. Who was the woman?
After she walked into her cell, she was able to take a close look at the woman waiting for her. She
recognized Linda's face at once. May had been put in the prison for over half a year, but Linda had
never visited her. May was surprised to see her here. She could not help but wonder what Linda
wanted from her.
"Why are you here? Are you here to see if I am dead?" said May.
Lisa turned around when she heard May's voice. Lisa's eyes moistened, and her tears were on the
brink of falling. She said in a trembling voice, "Mother, I'm your daughter!"
"Who are you kidding? You are my daughter? Linda, do you think that I see you as my daughter? I only All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
have one daughter!"
May sneered. She didn't understand why Linda would say that she was her daughter. What was her
purpose?
"No, mother. I'm Lisa. I'm your own daughter."
"You... You are Lisa? How could it be possible?" May narrowed her brows deeply. "Yes, mother. I'm
really Lisa. Adam took me to get cosmetic surgery and vocal cord surgery. Now, my face looks like
Linda's, and my voice sounds like hers."
"Master Adam? I've asked Master Adam to take good care of you. What have you done to yourself?
Why did you get the surgeries?"
May said, frowning. She hated Linda very much, and now, her daughter's face looked exactly like
Linda's. She felt disgusted looking at Lisa now.
Lisa didn't answer May's questions. She asked in response, "Mother, why did you want me to turn to
Adam? If I hadn't asked for his help, I wouldn't have been forced to have the surgeries. He wanted me
to pretend to be Linda to get close to Charles. You can't imagine how he has been treating me."
"I was driven into a corner, so I had no choice but to let you ask for his help. I'm sorry, Lisa. I truly am. I
don't know he would force you into doing something you didn't want to. Do you think of me as a bad
mother?"
May felt distressed when she heard Lisa's complaint.
Lisa was her only daughter. She was her princess. May never thought her precious daughter would
suffer because of her one bad decision. She always believed in Adam, so she thought that he would
take good care of her daughter.
May's face turned a little red as she recalled what she had been doing with Adam. They were more
than just friends. May wondered if Lisa knew anything about her abnormal relationship with Adam. If
Lisa had found out about them, what would she think of her? Would Lisa be upset?
Back then, May didn't have time to think it through.
Her scheme had been exposed. Johnson had known that Lisa wasn't his own daughter. At that time,
May didn't have any other choice. Lisa's biological father died many years ago, and May didn't have
any friends whom they could count on. Worse came to worst, so May had no other option but to ask
Lisa to turn to Adam for help.
"Come over here. Sit down and tell me everything that happened. What did Adam ask you to do?"
May didn't want to look at Lisa's face because Lisa looked exactly like Linda. But she knew for sure that
the woman sitting in front of her was her own daughter. She could tell that this woman was actually
Lisa, her own daughter, rather than Linda. She could feel it.
Lisa could not hold back her tears any longer. She told her mother what Adam had done to her all this
time. The more May knew, the grimmer her face grew.
At last, May's face darkened as black as coal. She had never thought that Adam was such kind of a
scum.
"Mother, Adam has promised me that he would help you get out of prison when he lured me into doing
all these things."
'Help me get out of prison?' May sneered and thought. After she was put into the prison, Adam never
came to visit her, not even once. However, before that, he kept telling her that he loved her.
"I'm sorry, Lisa. It's all my fault. I never thought that he was such a devious man. Back then, I didn't
have any other friends whom I could trust. I thought he would take good care of you. I'm sorry, my dear.
I'm so sorry... If it were not for me..."
May said with tears falling down her cheeks. She raised her head and took a good look at Lisa again.
May felt the pain in her heart as she touched Lisa's face. Her daughter's original face was rather pretty.
Lisa now looked like the woman she hated the most in the world. If she hadn't been in prison, she
would have never allowed this to happen.
If it were not for Linda, everything would have been different. Johnson would still have been living in the
dark, and he would have still treated her right. She would have still been with someone she liked, and
Lisa would have married Young Master Mu as she had wished.
If it were not for Linda, Lisa would have still been the Lady of the Xia clan, the one Johnson was fond of
the most.
Why did Linda walk into their lives? May had always thought that it was Linda's fault. She was the one
who had made their lives miserable. Their lives had changed because of her. May thought that Linda
was the devil who had ruined their lives, taking away all the things which could have belonged to them.
Before May talked to Lisa today, she had been at peace with what had happened. But now that she
knew what her precious daughter had been through in the past few months, she became very
distressed. She nearly broke down when she had heard all the things Adam had forced Lisa to do and
the things he had done to her... That included calling him "Master" and being a sex slave for him to
play... May felt terrible when she heard what Lisa had said. What her daughter had suffered was much
worse than hers.
Before Lisa could finish speaking, they started holding each other tightly with tears streaming down
their faces, sobbing hysterically. May knew that visiting hours was limited, so she tried to stop herself
and Lisa from crying, "My dear baby, I don't want you to go back to Adam's place ever again. You must
get rid of him. The modern society succumbs to constitutional laws. He can't treat you like a slave. I still
have some money in my account, about more than one hundred thousand. You don't need him to
support you. You can live with my savings for a while. You don't need to worry about other things. Just
wait for me to get out of prison. Things will get better then. You must take care of yourself."
Lisa shook her head with a bitter smile and said, "Mother, I can't get rid of him. He has something on
me. He has taken many indecent photos and videos of mine. If I don't listen to him, he would post them
on the Internet, and if he does that, I would feel too embarrassed to live."
Lisa didn't want her mother to worry about her, so she concealed the fact that she had become
addicted to drugs...
It was difficult to quit drug addiction. Lisa had been trying to sober up, but she couldn't fight against the
urge to take it. Her attempts to quit had failed several times. Every time she stopped taking drugs, she
felt that her body was nibbled by thousands of ants. It felt awful.
