Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 137

Tara responded without missing a beat, "Of course, we can scrap that old contract and draw up a new five-year advertising deal. I'll even throw in a 5% increase on the ad fee. But listen, all the commissions and perks that were supposed to go to Chloe have to go to her."

Tony was floored by how easygoing Tara was being. "Absolutely. Whatever you say goes," he replied eagerly.

Tara continued, "And there's one more thing."

"Go ahead," Tony urged.

Tara's gaze turned icy as she looked at Linda's pale face. "Fire this little homewrecker. Chloe shouldn't have to see her disgusting face every day."

The crowd around them started buzzing with whispers.

"So, Linda really did climb her way up by being the other woman, stealing Chloe's childhood sweetheart. I always thought Lucas looked at Chloe a bit too familiarly. It turns out they were lovers before."

"Did you hear what Tara said? At Chloe's birthday party yesterday, Linda tried to frame her by faking a fall and making it look like Chloe pushed her. And she used her unborn child to do it. How conniving is that?"

"I can't believe Linda would stoop so low. But even if she's pregnant with a Moncada baby, the Moncada family doesn't acknowledge her."

Linda stood aside, her eyes red from crying. "Please, you can't do this to me," she pleaded.

Linda's shoulders trembled slightly. She couldn't afford to lose this job. Even though Lucas was now the CEO, he wasn't rolling in money.

The last time they had that feast, nearly a hundred grand was charged to the company's account. When Joshua found out, he was furious and insisted Lucas report every expense from then on.

Despite Moncada International being a huge conglomerate, the Moncada family had cut off all of Lucas' cards and restricted his spending to force him to break up with Linda. He was left with just his manager salary, which was only a few thousand a month. Lucas loved to drink and party with his old friends, so that money vanished quickly. Recently, all their expenses had been covered by Linda's salary alone.
