Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 145

Lisa wiped away her tears and hesitantly asked, "Mr. Connor, why are you so concerned about my foster mother's case?"

Was it because of Chloe? Did Chloe want Ann to be released?

Lisa felt that seemed unlikely. Chloe had barely seen Ann. They hadn't even had a chance to meet. How could there be any feelings between them? Besides, Chloe must resent Ann, too. Because of Ann, Chloe had suffered a lot, bearing the stigma of being the daughter of a convicted murderer and facing constant criticism. She surely wouldn't want any association with Ann.

Connor's expression remained indifferent. "Your foster mother worked for three years as a live-in housekeeper for the Gilbert family in Eldridge City. They had a good relationship with her and wanted to help. I have some connections with the Gilberts and am acting on their request."

Ann had indeed worked as a housekeeper to make ends meet, and her best employment was with the Gilberts in Eldridge City. Lisa recalled that this was around the time she was about to start high school. Due to John's frequent domestic violence, Ann always kept her close. They moved to Eldridge City, but Lisa could only attend a private school without proper local registration. The Gilbert family helped her with the transfer procedure. The high salary Ann earned from them also allowed Lisa to attend that prestigious school. However, in her senior year, she got into trouble and returned to Riverbrook in disgrace. Ann had to resign and follow her back.

So that was the reason for Connor's questioning. She could deal with this as long as it wasn't because of Chloe.

Lisa said, "But appealing and overturning a case is easier said than done."
