Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 18

Lucas snapped, "Mr. Connor's car must've cost a fortune. Your measly thousand bucks was practically an insult. Get over here and apologize to Mr. Connor!"

The crowd watched Lucas' harsh treatment of Chloe, shaking their heads at his complete lack of chivalry. How could he scold such a beautiful woman so coldly without a hint of protection?

Lucas figured Connor wouldn't care about the car repair cost. It must've been Chloe's thoughtless act of leaving a thousand dollars that made it seem like an insult, causing Connor to hold a grudge all this time.

Connor remained silent, so Chloe confidently approached. Holding up her glass, she said, "Three years ago, I was blind to your greatness, Mr. Connor, and for that, I apologize."

Chloe added, "I hope Mr. Connor can be magnanimous and not hold a grudge against me."

But Connor just laughed. It was a cold laugh, his lips curving up, making his face seem almost bewitching. His eyes slightly lifted, his voice dripping with malice. "Mrs. Moncada, you think a single glass of wine can erase three years of pent-up frustration?"

The crowd was in shock. They couldn't help but think that the King of Eldridge was indeed petty. He was holding onto a grudge over a minor car scratch for three full years and troubling a young girl in such a setting. He truly was vengeful.

While everyone reminded themselves never to cross him, they also sympathized with Chloe.

"What would it take for Mr. Connor to let go of his anger?"

Connor picked up a bottle of whiskey from the table, "One glass won't do, but a bottle, perhaps."
