Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 10

Her haughty tone had an edge of playful sassiness that made Lucas' heart skip a beat. But it didn’t take long for him to catch on.

She was trying to seduce him on purpose.

Lucas frowned. "Chloe, cut the act. Even if you were stark naked, I wouldn’t bat an eye."

He turned on his heel and added, "I'll be waiting in the car."

Ten minutes later, Chloe slid into the car beside him.

Lucas, reclining in the backseat with his eyes shut, said, "Danny, take us to Valley Vista Manor."

An hour later, they arrived at the foot of the hill. The car wound its way up the mountain road, flanked by towering sycamore trees whose leaves formed a canopy, plunging the road into a cool, green twilight. It was like a tunnel of foliage.

After what felt like ages, the scene opened up to a breathtaking view. A grandiose building reminiscent of a castle slowly emerged into sight.

The place was buzzing with activity. The sprawling lawn was dotted with luxury cars, and a small army of waiters in crisp white shirts and black vests were busy welcoming guests.

A waiter directed Chloe’s car to a spot in the open-air parking lot. They were then led into the mansion.

The massive, ancient doors swung open to reveal a red carpet stretching from inside the building, guiding the guests. Chloe's eyes widened at the intricate patterns on the carpet.

It was a handcrafted Persian rug from Isfahan, woven from a mix of wool, cotton, silk, gold, and silver threads. The colors were vivid, and the craftsmanship was impeccable. This rug, by any standard, was top-tier. Each square meter of it was worth $200,000.

Seeing the seemingly endless red carpet, Chloe couldn't help but gasp. Everyone knew the Sartori family was loaded, but now, the scale of their wealth was crystal clear.
