Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chloe had a smile on her face, but her vibe was icy cold. She stared at them without a hint of fear, her gaze filled with disdain as if they were nothing but a bunch of amateurs. This almost caused an uproar.

The crowd was quick to egg Lisa on, urging her to put Chloe in her place. But Lisa hesitated. She was well aware of Chloe's skills. Chloe had been training in taekwondo since she was a kid; rumor had it she was a ninth-degree black belt. Lisa had never seen Chloe go all out, but from their previous encounters, she knew enough. She definitely couldn't take Chloe down, nor could her other friends.

Lisa wasn't stupid. She wasn't about to start a fight and ruin her meticulously planned birthday party. Glancing at the clock, she knew her moment had come. Sure enough, she spotted a slim figure not too far away. A cunning smile spread across her face.

Lisa turned to Chloe with an exaggerated grin, "Chloe, if my shoes are spoilt, so be it. I've got loads of designer heels worth millions. Why would I ever hold a grudge over something like that?"

The crowd was baffled by Lisa's sudden change of heart. Then Lisa waved to someone in the distance, "Linda, over here!"

At the mention of Linda's name, Chloe's instinctive reaction was to frown, her elegant eyebrows knitting together. Lisa's heart soared; her plan was working perfectly. Only a fool would confront Chloe head-on. To really get to Chloe, you had to go for the heart, and Linda was the sharpest tool in the shed.

Linda had just arrived. Lisa waltzed past Chloe and quickly linked arms with Linda, guiding her over affectionately. "Let me introduce everyone. This is my dear friend Linda, who is fresh off the plane from studying abroad."

Clueless about the reality, the crowd mistook Linda for Lisa's close friend and greeted her warmly. In truth, Linda and Lisa had barely any interaction. This get-together stemmed from a last-minute birthday invite from Lisa.

After a brief chat, Linda and Lisa

realized they had a common goal: to see Chloe disgraced and isolated.

That made them instant allies. Plus,

got divorced. So, she was more than happy to team up with Lisa.

Linda played along, greeting everyone amiably, and added a special note for Chloe, "Happy birthday, Chloe."

Sensing some unusual tension, someone quickly asked, "Linda, you know Chloe?"

Lisa jumped in with a smile. "Oh, they're more than just acquaintances. They're actually very close."

Chloe's frosty expression delighted

Lisa even more. Indeed, only Linda could really get under Chloe's skin, "The night's drama has just begun, Lisa thought, playfully touching Linda's belly. "Linda, why are you here alone? You're pregnant. Where's your boyfriend?"

Lisa turned to the crowd. "Linda's boyfriend is Lucas, the heir to Moncada International."

Everyone's eyes were on Linda, filled

with envy and admiration. Moncada

International was one of

Riverbrook's top firms. Its renowned brand, Leading Heights, was known nationwide.

"Wow, the future Mrs. Moncada! Ms. Linda, my grandfather's company works with Moncada International. We'll have to ask for your continued support."
