Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 143

With this new understanding, Lisa suddenly had a lightbulb moment. She stormed into the office with unwavering determination. But when she got there and saw Teddy, she was hit with the bombshell—she'd been fired. She didn't even get a chance to see Connor.

Frustrated, she caused a scene. Eventually, Connor relented and let her in. Anyone else would've been shown the door ages ago, but she clearly held a special place in his heart. Lisa felt this was true.

In terms of looks, education, and demeanor, she might not hold a candle to Chloe. But Lisa had something Chloe didn't—authenticity and spontaneity. While most high-society girls were raised to be prim and proper, knowing etiquette and modesty, they often ended up being incredibly dull. The wealthy heirs she knew all had polished girlfriends but craved the excitement of a wild and untamed "wildcat" on the side. Lisa understood these men all too well.

Now, she was adding another layer to her persona: the righteous heroine. She knew Connor's family was a tangled web of deceit, scheming, and power plays, where pure emotions were a rare commodity. These qualities would be invaluable to him.

Sure enough, Connor asked coolly, "Did you come to seek justice for your friends?"

Lisa stood tall, radiating righteousness. "Of course. If you want to take out your anger over Chloe on someone, take it out on me. This was all my doing; my friends had nothing to do with it. I'll take full responsibility."

A faint smile played on Connor's lips, but his eyes remained icy and distant. His words dripped with sarcasm. "Lisa, always the hero at heart."

But Lisa was lost in her own fantasies, and didn't catch the irony. Deep down, she even felt a bit proud. Connor was finally seeing her in a new light.
