Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 671

Connor was completely in the dark about today's events until the video surfaced. He thought he was just heading to a regular jewelry show tonight. The video of Lisa committing murder? That was news to him too.

But from overhearing Chloe and Grant's conversation, Connor started piecing it together. Today was a carefully orchestrated plan between Chloe and Grant. Chloe wanted to use the public setting to put Lisa on full blast. No wonder Chloe had once said she'd personally send Lisa to hell. She'd been plotting this for ages.

What really bugged Connor was why he, as her husband, was the last to know, while her friend was in on it. A tinge of jealousy crept into his heart, but he maintained a cheerful facade. He sidled up to Chloe, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. "Chloe always talked about her all-powerful friend. Never thought it was Mr. Eldridge. Quite the coincidence, huh?"

Since they were both part of the Eldridge Elites, Connor and Grant had crossed paths before. But only once, three years back, when both Sartori Corporation and the Ballard Group were eyeing the Paradise Resort project. They'd met at the Land Registry Director’s place. The meet was brief—Connor was leaving just as Grant arrived. They passed each other on the stairs, without a proper exchange.

Connor knew the Ballard Group had their sights on that land too. But in the end, Sartori Corporation snagged it. Even without direct interaction, they were rivals in some respects. The Ballard Group was a young company but had made waves in just five years. Its rapid expansion was nothing short of impressive.

Connor extended his hand, "Since Chloe calls you a friend, I’ll do the same. Thanks for looking out for her all these years."

Grant, speaking to Chloe, said, "Since Claire won it, it's hers. I’ll have it delivered to her tomorrow."

Chloe frowned a bit, "Friend, let me take it. I’ll hand it to her personally tomorrow."
