Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 14

"Before Marian's invitations went out, nobody knew Con was in Riverbrook. You're just making that up," another spoke up.

"Yeah, I am, but you calling him 'Con' is just gross. Are you that close to Connor? You haven't even spoken to him, have you?"

The girls were at each other's throats.

Chloe finally got it. They were all into Connor, but Chloe couldn’t wrap her head around it. These girls were all from the top echelons of society, living lives of luxury. Why were they so obsessed with marrying Connor?

Tiffany seemed to catch on to Chloe's confusion and awkwardly explained, "Chloe, we all do like Connor, but it’s not just because he's the heir to the Sartori fortune. If you saw him, you'd get it. Once you see his face, no other guy can compare."

Chloe couldn’t help but laugh. So, they were all looks-obsessed.

Chloe understood; she liked good-looking guys, too.

It was quite evident with the man she had chosen. Aside from their first encounter, which was a drunken mistake, she had kept him around for his looks for three whole years.

“Mr. Connor is back!” The butler dashed in, heading straight towards Marian.

The once lively banquet hall went silent in an instant. Everyone turned to look towards the entrance.

Was Connor really back?

Rumor had it that Marian had three daughters and only had one son in her forties.

The girls who had been chattering away fell silent. Their eyes were glued to the door, filled with excitement and anticipation.

Chloe followed their gaze towards the entrance. She was curious about the King of Eldridge, the man these ladies were crazy about. She needed to see just how handsome he really was!

A long leg stepped in.

The man was decked out in a custom suit with a deep blue tie. He was tall and lean, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, standing with a straight back. His proportions were perfect, and each step he took seemed to echo in the hearts of the young girls present.
