Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover



The four receptionists dashed out again, their voices dripping with sarcasm.

"Who would've thought? She's the sister of our future CEO's wife."

"Flirting with your brother-in-law, isn't that just gross?"

"Wait a minute, isn't she the one who got busted for plagiarism in that design contest?"

"I've heard the true heiress of the Meadows family can't even compare to the adopted one. Not even close. Looks like those rumors were spot on."

"Ms. Chloe, weren't you going to get the CEO to fire us? Why are you here dressed like a greeter?"

"A greeter is still better than us receptionists."

"But seriously, Ms. Chloe, you're an heiress. Why are you settling for being a greeter and cleaning toilets? Has the Meadows family really hit rock bottom?"

Their words were sharp and cutting.

Lisa couldn't hold back any longer and confronted them. But it was four against one, and she was clearly outmatched.

Eventually, Martin showed up and gave everyone a good scolding, Lisa included.

Lisa stood at the door, her hair a mess, serving as a greeter, shaking with anger.

She couldn't stand being treated like this every day.

It's just ten million, she thought. I'll pay it off.

Lisa had only been at the door for half an hour before she got into her car and drove away. She headed back to the Meadows family mansion, planning to secretly sell Leah's jewelry. She remembered Leah had a very expensive set, the Sunflower Diamond Collection.

It was part of her dowry, worth fifty million now.

Selling it would make ten million seem like pocket change.

But Leah adored that jewelry set and kept it in a safe by her bed. Lisa didn't know the combination.

Lately, Lisa felt Leah was treating her worse and worse. Even getting money wasn't as easy as it used to be.

She was constantly being extorted by that lowlife, and most of the money she got from Leah went straight to him. She was in a tight spot now.

She needed to deal with that parasite once and for all.

But to do that, she needed cash.

This only strengthened Lisa's resolve to get her hands on that Sunflower Diamond set.

Back home, she headed straight for Leah's room.

Surprisingly, Jacob and Leah were both there, chatting away.

"It's all that troublemaker's fault, missing such a golden opportunity. She was only thinking about herself. If I had spoken up, Belle Époque might already be in WORLD.O

Q.UMS

Leah was silently sorting through a photo album.

Jacob was fuming, "What's the point of looking at those all day? We need a plan. Our stocks are tanking, and we're heading for bankruptcy."

Leah sighed, "Can't you see? Chloe's got a grudge. Connor never intended to help us. And you're dreaming of Epoque being in WORLD? How naive."

Jacob, ever the sly one, knew Connor was playing him.

"That's why I said to smooth things over with Chloe. We ignored her when she came back, and there was that mess with Linda. She almost got adopted. Why not clear things up? Once we do, our smart and talented daughter will come back."

Leah sighed deeply, "I won't go. It's pointless. She's already with Ann."

"Some grievances just grow bigger, turning into insurmountable gaps."

Jacob paced the room, frustrated, "What do we do then? Watch everything we've built crumble?"

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he stopped.

"There might be one last thing we can try."

Leah looked at him, "What is it?"

"Remember that pink emerald pendant we gave to the Moncada family?"
