Claire's life was soon filled with money and endless vanity and pursuit. She immersed herself in a world of luxury, enjoying the envious and adoring gazes of countless people. Men were captivated at her feet by her dangerous yet beautiful face, while women envied her experiences and that innate charm she possessed. Claire's madness was no longer just a cycle within her heart; it began to radiate outward.
Her food, clothing, housing, and transportation all gravitated towards the high-end and luxurious. She lived in a beautifully decorated mansion, wore exquisite outfits designed by renowned designers, and frequented upscale restaurants and lavish parties. Her life resembled an endless feast, filled with the aroma of wine and candlelight, luxury, and indulgence.
This lifestyle undoubtedly drew severe criticism from some quarters. Conservatives in society and those with a strong sense of justice believed it was wrong for a criminal to receive such treatment. They criticized her heavily in the media, viewing it as a mockery of law and justice.
"This is absurd! A person who has committed such crimes is living a more luxurious life than most; this is an insult to our societal values!" exclaimed a commentator on television in anger.
However, Claire's supporters continued to defend her. They argued that Claire's behavior was merely a form of retaliatory compensation, stemming from the intense emptiness and pain within her. Her luxurious lifestyle was not her fault but rather a remedy needed by her deeply hurt soul.
"Claire is truly pitiful; she has endured so much pain and torment. This luxury is just a way for her to find comfort," her supporters argued on social media. "We should sympathize with her rather than condemn her."
This public opinion battle sparked significant reactions in society, intertwining voices of support and opposition into a strong conflict. Claire stood at the center of this storm; every move she made and every word she spoke became the focus of public discussion.
"Claire, you are simply enchanting!" At one party, a wealthy businessman complimented her, his eyes gleaming with greed.
"Thank you," Claire smiled, raising her champagne glass, a hint of madness flashing in her eyes. She knew she was enjoying it all—the feeling of being admired and adored.
Lisa watched this scene unfold with both relief and unease. She realized that Claire's madness had begun to radiate outward; this madness was attracting more people but also made it harder for her to control.
"Claire, you need to be careful," Lisa whispered to her, filled with concern.
"Don't worry, Lisa; I know what I'm doing," Claire replied with a gentle smile, confidence and madness flickering in her eyes. "This is my stage; I will enjoy every moment."
As time passed, Lisa gradually lost control over Claire. Claire no longer listened to Lisa's advice as she once did; instead, she began engaging in various activities on her own. She frequently visited nightclubs, hotels, and even hostess bars, indulging in this extravagant lifestyle.
Wherever Claire went, she attracted countless young people's attention with an air of extravagance. She became the focal point of nightlife; wherever she appeared, she was the center of people's gazes. Those young people drawn to her were all captivated by her beauty and charisma.
"This is all about liberating myself!" Claire proclaimed to a group of young people, holding up champagne with an enthusiastic smile on her face. "Because of my past experiences, I now want to set an example for you all about the beauty of hedonism and cherishing every moment."
Her words acted like poison, deeply attracting those yearning for freedom and excitement. They gathered around her, hanging on to every word as if she were their spiritual guide.
Lisa watched all this unfold with growing unease. She knew that Claire's behavior had spiraled completely out of control. She had tried to persuade Claire before but had been coldly rejected each time.
"Lisa, I don't need you to tell me what to do," Claire said ruthlessly, a rebellious spark in her eyes. "This is my life, and I want to take control of it myself."
Lisa felt a sense of helplessness; she knew she could no longer control the woman who once obeyed her. Claire's madness and rebellion were gradually pushing them toward an unknown abyss.
Claire's actions caused a huge uproar in society. Some condemned her for her reckless behavior, believing she had lost herself in the depths of depravity; others praised her courage, seeing her as someone pursuing true freedom and liberation.
"Claire is our role model; she teaches us how to enjoy life!" an excited young follower exclaimed.
"Someone like her doesn't deserve anyone's praise," a conservative commentator angrily retorted.
This polarized public opinion only made Claire feel more at home. She reveled in the adoration and worship, as if she had found a stage that belonged to her.
"This is what life is all about!" Claire shouted loudly in the nightclub's dance floor, dancing wildly to the rhythm of the music. She felt her heartbeat synchronize with the music, completely immersed in a frenzy of pleasure.
Watching Claire reveling on the dance floor, Lisa was filled with conflicting emotions and helplessness. She knew that this lifestyle would only lead Claire further out of control, ultimately toward an unpredictable end. But Lisa also understood that she could no longer change Claire's choices.
"The water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it," Lisa thought again, feeling a chill. She knew that Claire's madness and hedonism were gradually pushing them toward a dangerous edge.
For Lisa, Claire was ultimately just a pawn. When she lost control, Lisa knew she had to distance herself from the storm as quickly as possible. After all, the initial goal had been achieved: to make herself famous. And now, Lisa had indeed done that.
Standing by the office window, Lisa looked down at the busy street, feeling a twinge of unease but more determination. She knew that continuing to be entangled with Claire would only lead her into more trouble and risk. Although Claire's case was still in litigation, Lisa decided it was time to withdraw; this was a choice she had to make.
"Claire, I hope we can talk," Lisa said calmly as she sat across from Claire, though her heart was tumultuous.
Claire smiled, looking pleased. "Of course, Lisa. What's up?"
"I've decided to stop being your lawyer," Lisa stated directly, a glint of resolve flashing in her eyes. "I think you need to seek someone more capable."
Claire's smile gradually faded, surprise and confusion flickering in her eyes. "Why? Haven't we always worked well together?"
"Yes, we have worked well together, but the current situation has gone beyond my control," Lisa admitted candidly. "I need to ensure my career and personal life are not affected."
Claire let out a cold laugh, her gaze turning icy. "You just want to abandon me, right?"
"This isn't about abandoning you, but rather considering what's best for both of us," Lisa maintained her composure. "You need a lawyer who can fully understand your current situation, and I can no longer fulfill that role."
Claire was silent for a moment before nodding. "Alright, since you've made your decision, I won't push it."
Lisa sighed with relief, feeling a sense of liberation. She knew this was the right choice. She had achieved what she wanted in this storm, and now it was time to step back and avoid being pulled into a deeper vortex.
"I will help you find a new lawyer to ensure your case won't be affected," Lisa added, trying to calm Claire's emotions.
Claire looked at Lisa coldly, her eyes filled with unspoken reproach. "I hope so, Lisa."
After their conversation ended, Lisa quickly set about arranging the next steps to ensure her smooth exit from the storm. She contacted several well-known lawyers in the industry, recommending them to take over Claire's case. Lisa knew that this not only protected herself but also allowed Claire's case to continue without interruption.
At a press conference, Lisa officially announced her withdrawal from Claire's case and explained her reasons to the public. She emphasized that she would continue to fight for women's rights, but this decision was based on professional considerations, hoping to better serve others in need of help.
"I believe Claire will find a more suitable lawyer to continue her legal battle," Lisa said in front of reporters, wearing her usual confident smile.
The news caused a stir, with media outlets reporting on Lisa's decision. Some praised her courage and professionalism, while others questioned her motives, but Lisa did not care about these comments. She knew she had won in this game, and it was time to move forward.
Claire stood on the balcony of the mansion, gazing at the city lights, filled with complex emotions. She understood what Lisa's departure meant, but she had no intention of stopping. She would continue on her path, regardless of whether glory or abyss lay ahead.
"This is just the beginning," Claire murmured to herself, a glint of madness flashing in her eyes.
