Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

The dance floor slowly cleared as everyone paused to watch Chloe and Connor move together. They spun and leaped at the center, their movements a mix of fiery passion and smooth elegance. Chloe looked absolutely stunning in her red dress, its hem swirling around like a phoenix rising from the ashes.

Together, they were a sight to behold-Chloe, radiantly beautiful, and Connor, devastatingly handsome. Their brilliance outshone everything, catching the attention of everyone in the room. Even the envious socialites couldn't help but admit it: these two were made for each other.

Lucas found himself blending into the crowd without realizing it. Watching Chloe and Connor dance so closely, he felt a pang of indescribable bitterness. He wanted to rush over and pull them apart, but his courage failed him at that moment.

As the dance ended, the ballroom erupted in applause. Connor took Chloe's hand and led her to the center stage. He addressed the crowd, "Today is my girlfriend Chloe's birthday. Anyone who offers her a birthday wish will become a lifetime member of Cloud Top and enjoy all the VIP perks."

The crowd went wild. Cloud Top was the most exclusive restaurant in Riverbrook, nearly impossible to get into. Typically, reservations needed to be made half a month in advance, but VIP members could visit anytime and enjoy a slew of benefits. Despite the steep annual fees, Riverbrook's elite clamored for access, especially since Cloud Top had stopped accepting new members last year.

People eagerly began showering Chloe with birthday wishes.

"Happy birthday, Ms. Chloe! May all your dreams come true."

"Best wishes, Ms. Chloe! May you be successful and forever young."

"I wish Ms. Chloe and Mr. Connor a long, happy life together filled with children!"

Zachary that sounded more like a wedding wish than a birthday wish. Maybe you should hit the books

more often."

As everyone chuckled at Zachary's expense, Connor spoke up, "Please leave your address, Mr. Zachary. I have a small gift for you."

The crowd was stunned. Was Connor offering a personal gift? They quickly realized Zachary's words had resonated with Connor. That was exactly what he wanted to hear!

Following that, everyone began to chime in.

"I wish Ms. Chloe and Mr. Connor eternal love and harmony!"

"May you both weather all storms and bask in love forever."

"May Mr. Connor and his beloved wife hold hands and grow old together, surrounded by children and grandchildren, and be prosperous and honored."

In the middle of the celebration, a loud explosion pierced the night sky. A massive firework burst into the darkness like a summer rose in full bloom. Its fiery red glow warmed hearts before cascading down like a waterfall, lighting up the entire skyConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
