Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 227

Teddy’s face was a whirlwind of emotions. First, he was shocked, then angry, and finally, he landed somewhere between speechless and sympathetic.

“Ms. Chloe, how could you hit him with a table lamp? What on earth did he do to deserve that?” Teddy, usually the epitome of cool detachment, was now visibly ruffled, unable to maintain his usual composure.

Chloe replied slowly, “He was touching me without my consent.”

Teddy was at a loss for words. “…Fair enough,” he finally managed.

Turning to the CEO, Teddy's voice was barely a whisper, “Boss, how could you? I brought you here to talk things out, not to act like a creep and freak Ms. Chloe out.”

Teddy was clearly embarrassed. As he helped Connor up, he added to Chloe, “I’m really sorry, Ms. Chloe. He had too much to drink.”

“Oh, so being drunk is his excuse for acting like a fool? Next time it happens, I’m calling the cops,” Chloe said, crossing her arms and speaking with a cold detachment.

Teddy couldn’t help but marvel at Chloe’s ruthlessness. To him, a little intensity between lovers didn’t qualify as creepy. But he also knew—they were on completely different wavelengths.

In Connor's heart, Chloe was still the woman he deeply loved. But from Chloe’s perspective, they were over.

Teddy offered a sheepish smile. “There won’t be a next time, Ms. Chloe. Thank you for your understanding.”

Chloe waved her hand. “Alright, take him to the hospital to get his wounds treated.”
