Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chloe was a mess today, but to everyone else, she still couldn't hold a candle to Chloe.

Jacob had always secretly despised her. No matter what she did, she could never measure up to Chloe.

Tears welled up in Lisa's eyes. She glanced at Leah. If it had been before, Leah would have stood up for Lisa. But now, she just stood there, watching as Jacob viciously scolded and humiliated her, not saying a word.

Leah's eyes were vacant like she was lost in thought. She didn't even seem to care about Jacob's harsh words. She must've been thinking about Chloe. She must've felt like Lisa could never compare to Chloe in any way.

They regretted it because Chloe had now climbed the social ladder by getting involved with Mr. Connor. If Lisa were Connor's girlfriend now, she would be the one getting all the praise and attention. She would become Connor's girlfriend, no matter what it took!Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

'Chloe, I won't lose to you!' Lisa vowed.

Elsewhere, Linda was running to catch up with Lucas, who was walking so fast he didn't even notice her lagging behind. His retreating figure filled her with both anger and fear. In Lucas' eyes, she had always been the perfect, generous, and kind woman. But today, he had seen her setting Chloe up. What would he think of her now?

When they reached the parking lot, Lucas got into his car and drove away, not waiting for Linda. She ran after him, calling his name, but he only saw her frail, lonely figure in the rearview mirror. His heart was filled with irritation.

Suddenly, Linda tripped over a stone and fell to the ground. Lucas slammed on the brakes. In the end, he got out of the car and ran to her side.

Linda looked up, her face streaked with tears. "Luca, I'm sorry. Please forgive me just this once."

Trembling and pitiful, she clutched

at Lucas' wrist. "Luca, I love you too

much. I'm so scared you'll go back ᏚᏫ

to Chloe. know you two were childhood sweethearts and that you haven't completely let go of heÌ thought I could handle it, but can't. I'm too scared. That's why I did what I did. Without you, our child and I can't go on. Please, forgive me this once."

Lucas looked into Linda's eyes. They were filled with terror as if her world was crumbling. His gaze softened bit, but his voice remained cold. "Linda, this isn't the first time. Last time, you used Vivian to frame Chloe, and I forgave you. And I've

seen those things on your computer.

Linda, you've really disappointed

me."

A flash of shock crossed Linda's eyes. Had he looked through her computer? Had he cracked her login password? A strange flicker passed through

her eyes—had he discovered something? But none of that mattered now.

Linda's tears flowed freely. "Luca, I admit it. I did all those things. I intentionally framed Chloe. But it's all because I love you. I'm too afraid of losing you. Chloe has so much, and all I have is you and our baby, who can't lose their father before being born."

"Luca, for the sake of our baby, please forgive me, just this once, okay?"
