Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 194

Chloe felt a chill run down her spine as the story unfolded. The intrigue of Eldridge's high society was far deeper than she had imagined.

Cassie had already finished her glass of wine, but the tale was far from over. "Just yesterday, my cousin was in a car accident, and this Claire was likely behind it."

A thought flickered in Chloe's mind. "Is she alright?"

"She’s fine. Otherwise, she wouldn't be throwing a birthday party today," Cassie replied with a reassuring smile. "Don't worry too much about her. She's got some serious backing. Who knows, she might even end up marrying into the Sartori family and become Claire's equal. That would really set Claire off."

Chloe’s mind was racing. "Who is behind her—is it Connor?"

Cassie looked genuinely surprised. "You know the name of our King of Eldridge?"

The realization hit Chloe like a stone sinking to the bottom of a lake. Her expression darkened.

Cassie picked up on the change. "Do you know Connor?"

Chloe ignored the question and pressed on, "What’s the deal between Connor and Diana?"

"What else? The typical boyfriend-girlfriend thing," Cassie said nonchalantly. "You’ve probably heard that the relationship between Claire and Connor is beyond terrible. Calling them enemies wouldn’t be an exaggeration."

Chloe listened intently, her brows furrowed. Cassie sensed something was off. "You’re not usually this curious. Why the sudden interest in the Sartori family today?"

Before Chloe could answer, vibrant fireworks erupted outside. The red sparks lit up the sky like blazing flames before fading away.

Unintentionally, Chloe murmured, "Heart of the rose."

She stood and walked to the window. Cassie's room had a floor-to-ceiling glass window, providing a perfect view of the bustling scene outside. Fireworks lit up the night sky, making it as bright as day.

Cassie assumed Chloe was enjoying the view. She grabbed Chloe's arm. "Watching through the glass is boring. Come on, let's go join the fun."
