Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 696

Diana's face was starting to look a bit stiff. Pax's point was clear: they had already made their way up here. Trying to keep it cool, Diana asked, "So, what are you two doing up here?"

Pax pulled out his phone, grinning. "Oh, just soaking in the view. It's gorgeous up here, and I've got it all recorded. Want to see?"

He offered the phone to Diana, but she pushed his arm away firmly. "No, I don't."

Diana was fully aware. Whatever happened earlier must have been caught by them. No wonder Uncle Connor seemed so calm—it was all a setup between the three of them.

Chloe picked up Pax's phone, curiosity in her eyes. "By the way, Diana, you haven't filled us in on what just went down?"

Diana clenched her teeth, knowing full well that if she dragged Connor into this, Chloe would definitely release the video. Holding back her frustration, her body shook despite her efforts to stay composed.

Only two reporters had been in on Diana's earlier plan. They were supposed to bring the rest of the journalists up to the rooftop and steer the narrative to pull Connor into the mess. Most of the reporters were clueless about this setup.

Cameras were aimed at Diana. "Diana, can you tell us what happened? Did Mr. Connor do something inappropriate?"

Still, seeing Diana's trembling leg silenced many with sighs of pity.

Chloe had made her way to Connor's side, speaking with authority. "Everyone knows the truth now. Whoever just accused my husband should step up and apologize."

The person who first tossed out the word "assault" was nudged forward. He kept glancing at Diana, who stood with her head bowed, shaking from pain. In the end, he didn't say much, just approached Connor and Chloe, murmuring, "I'm sorry, Mr. Connor, Ms. Chloe, I spoke out of turn."

Chloe glanced at his name tag. "Looks like your journalism career might be hitting a dead end. But don't worry, go ask for compensation from whoever set you up. I'm sure they'll be generous."
