Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 142

Connor nodded seriously. "Meeting the parents, huh? Guess I'd better get ready."

Just then, there was a knock on the CEO's office door.

"Come in."

Teddy walked in, holding an elegant lunchbox. He set the lunch neatly on the dining table. As he turned to leave, he hesitated and then said, "Sir, there's something I think you should know."

Connor responded calmly, "What is it?"

"I've fired Lisa, but she's been making a scene outside all morning, insisting on seeing you."

Chloe frowned slightly. So, that noise she heard earlier was indeed from Lisa.

A flicker of disgust crossed Connor's face. "Have security throw her out."

But Chloe suddenly spoke up, "Wait a minute."

Connor turned to look at her.

If it had been just one person, it might have been overlooked, but all her friends were facing issues. They had all helped corroborate the claim that Chloe pushed Linda the day before. It’s easy to connect the dots to Chloe, but Lisa knew Chloe didn't have the means to orchestrate such actions. It had to be Connor pulling the strings behind the scenes.

Initially, Lisa didn't want to get involved. After all, she had never considered those people true friends. However, one of them said something that struck a chord with her.

"How could Mr. Connor do this? He's taken such drastic measures against us just because we supported a claim. It was you who orchestrated the whole thing, yet you're unscathed?"

That comment sparked a thought in Lisa. Indeed, she was the "mastermind." However, there was not a single piece of dirt on her online. She knew that Jacob had spent a lot of money to bribe the reporters at the scene the night before, but if Connor made a move to take her down, Jacob would stand no chance.

He only targeted those who had supported her claim without retaliating against her personally. Nor did he make the previous night's incident widely known. Perhaps he was considering the reputation of the Meadows family. Or perhaps, to him, she was still somewhat special.
