Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 193

The next second, Chloe found herself suddenly pulled into a warm embrace.

"Chloe, you stinker! I've missed you."

"Same here, Cassie."

They hugged each other tightly, ignoring the curious glances from those around them. After a brief moment, Cassie let go and said, "Come with me."

Chloe followed Cassie into the grand mansion of the Gilbert family and then upstairs. Five minutes later, Chloe was sitting on the sofa in Cassie's room. With the door shut, all the noise and commotion from outside faded away.

Cassie still looked stunned by the surprise. "You came to Eldridge City and didn't even let me know? If I’d known, I would’ve picked you up from the airport."

Chloe smiled, "I'm here for work. Ended up here by chance."

Cassie's eyes fell on the lilies Chloe had brought. She walked over and picked them up. "For me?"

Chloe quickly took them back. "Nope, these are for Miss Gilbert. A gift from someone else. Don't ruin them."

"By the way, which Gilbert member is having their birthday today?" Chloe asked.

Cassie’s expression suddenly turned serious, her brows furrowing. "Who sent you with these flowers?"

Chloe sensed something was off. "The chairperson of Eldridge Entertainment, Claire."

Chloe's expression grew serious as her mind raced with information. Diana? The name "Diana" from Connor's phone flashed in her mind. Could it be just a coincidence?

"Why would Claire do this?" Chloe asked. "It's so low for her to act this way."

Cassie sighed, "It's complicated. You wouldn’t understand all the love and hate tangled up in this."

Cassie explained for a while, and Chloe slowly began to piece together the relationships. The Sartori family and the Gilbert family were originally united through marriage. Claire's ex-husband was Desmond from the Gilbert family's second branch. They had a son named Pax. But not long after Pax was born, Claire and Desmond divorced.

Desmond remarried Suzanne just three months after the divorce, and at their wedding, Suzanne was already five months pregnant. So, Desmond had been having an affair with Suzanne while still married to Claire. After the divorce, Claire had been relentless toward Suzanne and her daughter.

Suzanne had no significant background and was just a third-rate actress in her younger years. She and her daughter’s fate could have been much worse if it hadn’t been for Desmond’s protection over the years.
