Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 204

Nobody could talk to Cassie that way.

Chloe locked eyes with Connor. "Mr. Connor, have my friend and I done something wrong? Or is this place reserved just for you? We've paid to be here, followed the rules, and we were having a good time. If you don’t want to see us, maybe you should leave. First come, first served, right?"

Though a smirk played at the corners of Chloe's lips, her eyes were distant and icy.

Connor rarely saw this frigid side of Chloe, like a lake frozen over, devoid of any warmth.

Diana stepped up beside him, glancing up at his stern profile. "Uncle Connor, what's going on?"

Connor's tense features relaxed slightly. He turned to Diana. "Diana, go ahead to the private room; I'll be there in a minute."

Diana obediently left without another word, though her gaze lingered on Chloe as she walked away.

Teddy had already escorted Connor's entourage out, leaving just Chloe, Cassie, and Connor at the table.

Sensing the tension, Cassie stood up and said, "Chloe, I know he was your trophy boy, but even after three years, any person would develop some affection. Shouldn't you at least say goodbye to him properly?"

Chloe shot Cassie a death glare. One day, Cassie's mouth was going to get her in serious trouble. Chloe would never dare to say such things herself.

Unfazed, Cassie got up and sauntered off.

Connor looked visibly upset.

Chloe broke the silence first. "Cassie always speaks her mind to everyone, not just you. Let's not stoop to her level."

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming to Eldridge City?"

"Claire even invited me to join in her game, to be the pawn to separate you and Diana. She even tempted me with the prospect of becoming the wife of yours."

Connor fixed his gaze on Chloe. "And so? What did you do?"

Chloe lazily tossed her wavy hair. "I declined."

She smiled freely. "Connor, I preserved your dignity and your image as a good man in front of Diana. Shouldn't you be thanking me?"

Connor had a bad feeling. "Chloe, what are you trying to say?"

Chloe stood up, walked over to Connor, and lifted his chin as she used to do. Though her smile remained, her tone was decidedly colder.

"It's time for us to break up, Connor."
