Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chapter 84

"This isn't something I'd usually bother you with, Mr. Connor, considering how busy you are," she said.

Knowing full well it was just an excuse, he still couldn't bring himself to call her out on it. Connor knew that if he hadn't reached out this time, things between them would have ended then and there. She didn't show the slightest intent of holding on.

Chloe handed him the menu. "You pick. Dinner's on me tonight as an apology to you, Mr. Connor."© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

"If apologies worked, why would we need the police?" Connor quipped.

Chloe shot him a glance, her eyes teasing. "Cut it out."

Connor obediently took a seat. Their first fight had ended in his total defeat. The universally feared Mr. Connor learned a crucial lesson: in front of this merciless woman, he couldn't afford to throw tantrums or go missing. Otherwise, he'd give his adversaries an opening and have nowhere to cry.

Over dinner, Connor spoke up, "These past few days, I've been looking into Ms. Ann and stumbled upon something unexpected."

Chloe knew Connor's investigation into Ann was to clear her name. "What is it?"

Connor showed Chloe a video on his phone. Chloe was surprised. "How did you get this video?"

Chloe knew Ann hadn't meant to kill anyone and had been seeking a breakthrough to appeal for years. But Lisa had refused to testify. The neighbor's words alone couldn't prove Lisa was at the scene.

Now, Connor's video showed Lisa running from the scene on the night of the incident. The video timestamp matched exactly with the time right after John's death and before the police arrived. With this video, it could be proven that Lisa was at the scene the night John died. It was very likely that Ann would be judged to have acted in excessive

self-defense rather than premeditated murder.

Chloe asked, “How did you get this video?"

"Across from Ann's house is a school that was built three years ago. On the day of the incident, it was under construction, and directly opposite their house was a parking lot. I found out there was a delivery truck parked there that day equipped with a dashcam that recorded the scene." Content

Chloe was stunned. Though Connor spoke briefly, Chloe understood the difficulty in obtaining such evidence. Chloe also knew Lisa was at the scene that day. However, she had been unable to find evidence, and she could not force Lisa to testify in court.

"Thank you, you've really helped me out." Chloe sent the video to her phone. She didn't want to dwell on the subject with Connor, so she changed the topic. "I owe you one again. How would you like me to repay you?"

Connor didn't appreciate her clear-cut attitude. Frowning, he said, "But I like that you owe me."

Chloe laughed it off, and they began their dinner.

Lisa came back. She couldn't make trouble for Chloe in front of Leah and Jacob. However, Chloe exposed her relationship with Ann, and Lisa had a score she intended to settle.

Upon Lisa's return, she saw Chloe

dining with aman. Chloe's lips were smeared with steak sauce. The man actually stood up and took the liberty to wipe the sauce off, leaning

in to kiss the corner of her lips. Chloe didn't resist. Instead, she Smiled, beaming like the spring sunshine.

Lisa, seated with her back to the man, could only see his figure from behind. Even from the back, Lisa was sure he wasn't Lucas. Lisa was shocked. Chloe was having an affair!
