Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover



When Connor finally let his guard down, completely vulnerable, Chloe sprang to her feet.

"Seriously, Connor? We've done this a hundred times! What on earth are you so shy about?" Chloe exclaimed, flipping her slightly curled hair over her shoulder with a flourish before striding out of the room.

Connor was left behind, taking deep breaths. "Chloe! Get back here! You can't just walk out like that!"

Chloe waited outside for half an hour. Eventually, Connor emerged, having changed into a fresh set of clothes, his eyes filled with a mix of emotions as he looked at her.

Feeling quite pleased with herself, Chloe said, "I'm starving. Let's grab something to eat."

Connor drove, with Chloe in the passenger seat. Unusually for him, today he was driving a convertible. The car sped along the highway, the wind whistling past their ears.

Chloe felt a sense of freedom she hadn't experienced in a long time. At that moment, they were like birds escaping a cage, free and joyful. But they both knew this freedom was only temporary.

The story rewinds to the previous night. After Chloe and Pax parted ways at the stairwell, Pax returned to his room. But upon entering, he found Claire sitting on his sofa.

Pax's gaze darkened. "What are you doing here?"

"You don't even call me 'Mom' anymore. Is that what I taught you?" Claire's voice was icy.

"You never taught me to be ruthless

or to harm my own family for the sake of gain," Pax retorted, his heart heavy with unspoken grievances, He stared steadily at Claire. What hurt him the most wasn't the horrific things Claire had done. It was the complete lack of remorse in her eyes.

"Pax, enough. Whatever I do, it's not your place to judge. If you think I've done something unforgivable, then call the police on me," Claire said dismissively.

Pax looked at her, more disappointed than ever. Finally, he spoke, "Please leave. I want to sleep."Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

But Claire didn't move. "I have something to tell you." After a pause, Claire's voice softened.

"Actually, regarding Chloe and Diana being trapped on the yacht, I never really intended to kill one of them. I just wanted to see how far your uncle would go for them."

"I didn't expect Chloe and Diana to

jump into the sea. What happened afterward was beyond my expectations," Claire admitted,

standing up. She walked over to Pax, patting his shoulder. "I know you truly care for Ms. Chloe. She's the one for you. How could I possibly let her die?"

Pax looked up at Claire, confusion in his eyes. Claire continued, "Look,d even gave her the ruby-encrusted purse as a gift. I told you, it's a tradition in our family to give a future daughter-in-law."

Pax, still confused, asked, "What are you trying to say?"

Claire smiled at Pax. "My dear son, if you like Ms. Chloe, go after her. I support you. Ms. Chloe is the most unique woman I've met, very charismatic. I like her too. She's worthy of my son."

But Pax frowned deeply. After a moment, he spoke in a cold voice, "You're after the five percent shares she owns, aren't you?"
