Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

The man with a stern expression wasn't biting. "Where's Isaac?"

"Isaac just got off the plane. He asked us to keep you company until he arrives."

Impatience was already etched on his face. He was on the verge of getting up to leave when Devon suddenly spotted Chloe.

"Ms. Chloe, what brings you here?" he asked, catching her off guard.

Startled by Devon's voice, Chloe became the center of attention as everyone on the nearby sofas turned to look at her.

"And who might she be?" inquired the woman draped around Devon, eyeing Chloe suspiciously.

Her gaze finally landed on Chloe's naturally stunning, makeup-free face. Devon knew all too well about the recent drama.

The illustrious King of Eldridge had switched his affections, even going as far as joining a reality show and proposing publicly.

When Devon witnessed that proposal, he was nearly speechless. Was that really the Connor they all knew?

They'd always assumed Connor would end up marrying someone from the prestigious Gilbert family.

Enter Ms. Chloe, out of the blue, with no noteworthy background-just a small-town beauty.

Their circle of lifelong friends was skeptical about this match. Marriages among the elite were rarely left to personal choice; they were strategic family alliances.

Before Devon could say a word, the suited man interjected.

"She's here to keep Kash company and help him drown his sorrows."

He shot Chloe a glance. "Aren't you going to pour the man a drink?" Devon looked bewildered. "Parker, do you really have no clue who she is?" Asking Mr. Connor's fiancée to pour drinks-Parker was really flirting with danger. Alan had heard from Isaac about his brother's thirty-year disinterest in women. Today was actually a wager to see which woman could pique Kash's interest.

Alan had arranged for a sweet-looking college student, but she was caught in traffic.

Her face, untouched by makeup, was radiant, and her eyes

like stars-innocent yet with a hint of natural allure, much like a young fox stepping into the world.

Even Devon felt a twinge of intrigue.

Chloe was worried about missing her chance to approach Kash. She shouldn't have meddled, but having endured something as awful as being drugged, she didn't want

anyone else to suffer a similar fate.

Kash, at first glance, seemed upright and didn't deserve to be ensnared by deceit.

So, Chloe boldly sat next to Kash and poured him a drink.

Oddly, Kash didn't shoo her away as he had with others. Instead, he studied her with a slight frown.

Devon was clueless about what was happening but loved the unfolding drama.

He was part of today's bet too, though his choice of woman didn't catch Kash's eye.

Could Ms. Chloe really be Parker's find? This was getting entertaining.

But instead of pouring Kash a drink, Chloe brewed a cup of tea and offered it to him. "Kash, have some tea."
