Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 1070

“Chloe, I’m old—practically have one foot in the grave. Let’s just leave the past where it belongs,” Nemo said, sounding tired and worn out.

But Chloe wasn’t about to let him skate by. She dove right in, not giving Nemo a chance to deflect.

“Master, the Grevenberg family—all thirty-eight of them. You didn’t kill them, did you?”

At the mention of the Grevenberg family, Nemo’s expression changed. For a moment, he just stood there in silence, then turned his back to her.

“So what if I did? Or if I didn’t? Everything in this world comes down to fate. Sometimes we’re close to people, sometimes we’re just passing through. Who among us hasn’t carried someone else’s burden?”

Chloe didn’t let up. She hit him with another hard truth.

“But Master, Jeffery didn’t kill the Grevenberg family either. You’ve both spent all these years thinking you were carrying each other’s sins. Have you really never considered that maybe fate just played a cruel joke on both of you?”

All the usual playfulness faded from Nemo’s face, replaced by a rare seriousness. His eyes, usually so full of mischief, suddenly looked sharp and clear.

“What did you say?”

Chloe saw the shock on his face and realized there had to be some mistake here.

“Two years ago, you gave me that letter to deliver to Jeffery. I only managed to give it to him last night. He was stunned—said the whole thing was a mess. After we pressed him, we found out he’s always believed you followed through with the job for him. He’s spent years thinking you’re the one who killed the Grevenberg family.”

Nemo’s eyes turned dark, heavy, like he was carrying a mountain on his shoulders.

“How is that possible?”

“Master, what really happened that night? Why did you say you carried out the task for him? Why did you think he was the one who killed the Shangguan family?”
