Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 942

Chloe asked with a hint of curiosity, "The housekeeper mentioned you went to the airport to pick someone up. Who's so important that you'd go yourself?"

Grant, busy with his acupuncture tools, replied, "MISS Z."

Chloe's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "MISS Z is back?"

Grant nodded. "I'll introduce you one day."

"Is she joining the company?"

Chloe's interest was piqued. MISS Z was the most mysterious figure in the company, a person even Edgar hadn't met face-to-face.

Grant shook his head. "Not for now. She's got her own mission."

In the past, Chloe would've brushed it off, but hearing Grant talk about it now, something felt off for the first time. Grant's life was shrouded in mystery. There were times when even she couldn't track him down, unsure of what kept him busy. She was aware that when he first moved to Eldridge City from Riverbrook, he had mingled with some shady circles. Although he had since cleaned up his act, he still held sway in both the legitimate and the underworld.

Chloe kept her thoughts to herself. After the acupuncture session, she stood up to leave. Grant was still sweating from his efforts. Watching him work so hard brought on a mix of emotions—conflict and guilt. Maybe she shouldn't doubt him. His kindness was genuine.

Chloe placed the jar of clam chowder that Connor had made on Grant's desk. "Connor made this himself. He really wanted to thank you."

Grant glanced at the jar, his face giving nothing away. "Thank him for me."

"Enjoy it while it’s hot. His cooking is top-notch. I usually have to strike a deal just to get a taste," Chloe chuckled. "I'll be off then."

Chloe left quickly. Grant watched from the balcony as her car disappeared down the driveway of Crescent Manor.

Back in his room, the housekeeper entered with a knock.

Chloe understood that Teddy wasn’t just Connor’s secretary; he was his partner, confidant, and brother-in-arms.

"Where are you?" Chloe asked.

"The Sanctuary."

"I'll swing by soon," Chloe replied.

When she arrived, Teddy was in one of the private rooms, drinking. It was rare to see Connor struggling to get through to someone.

"Amelia’s gone, Teddy. You’re mistaken. There are plenty of people who look alike in this world. This isn’t the first time you’ve been wrong. It’s been almost six years. You need to move on."

Teddy, clearly drunk, insisted, "No, it's her, Maddie. Even if she turned to ashes, I'd know her."
