4 WEEKS LATER

The Louds were looking at the Royal Woods Courthouse with dread pouring through them. This was it...the day that will begin a battle between their freedom and their imprisonment. They hoped that it would be the former than the latter since it meant that they can start rebuilding their lives while punishing that brat, Lisa. 

"This place is huge." Lana commented.

"We know that Lana. Now, help us figure out a plan to get our get out of jail free card." Lori snapped.

"Already ahead of you. I figured that we can try to make us look somewhat misunderstood. Then the jury and judge will be so moved that we'll be free to rebuild what that mistake broke." Lynn Sr. said. Rita was about to comment on his idea, but quickly shut her mouth when one of the bailiffs walked towards them and coldly told them to walk inside. 

Meanwhile, Lisa was sitting next to Lincoln and Lily as their limo driver stopped in front of the courthouse. She knew that it marked the beginning of a long battle between her and her former family excluding Lincoln and Lily. 

"Ready Lisa?" Keith said as he exited the limo. He and his wife, Laura were going to adopt Lisa, Lincoln and Lily when this entire mess was over. They were good children after all who had the misfortune to live with two terrible parents. Keith knew that they'll try something stupid to make themselves look better, but he already took precautions against that. 

Lisa nodded and the family started to walk inside where the Louds stared at them with shock and jealousy. Lincoln, Lily and Lisa were fostered by the David's, a wealthy family in Michigan. 

"How did that mistake get involved with the David's?" Rita hissed. She hated that Lisa not only involved herself with some influential family, but dragged her two children along for the ride. 

"I don't know, but we can't let her live in luxury while we lose everything." Lynn Sr. said.

"Yeah. Lisa doesn't belong in the high life." Lori said.

"Exactly...which is why I think that we sabotage her." Rita said. The rest of the Louds smirked and excitedly listened as Rita told them.... her "brilliant" plan. Unaware that one of the David's heard it and ran back to tell their parents. They wouldn't let the Louds ruin Lisa's happiness....no matter what it took to make sure that she kept it. 

Hope you enjoyed the chapter..Bye 👋
