Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 259

Lisa was practically gnashing her teeth in frustration. Right now, she was utterly helpless. All she could do was bow her head and accept her fate.

Chloe waved the IOU in front of Lisa, her expression turning deadly serious, her voice echoing with a stern warning. "Lisa, don't try any more tricks behind my back, or the price you'll pay will be much steeper than what you're facing now."

Lisa's heart skipped a beat in fear. She knew Chloe was getting back at her because Lisa had cut her model's shoelaces during the competition, nearly sabotaging her chance to compete. Lisa hadn't expected Chloe's revenge to be this intense. What she once thought was Chloe's arrogance and indifference to wealth turned out to be a complete act.

As furious as she was, Lisa was powerless to fight back at the moment.

Chloe left the hospital. In the parking lot, Leah suddenly called out to her. "Chloe."

Chloe stopped in her tracks. "Mrs. Meadows, what can I do for you?"

"If you’re willing to call him ‘Dad,’ why can’t you accept me as your mom?”

Chloe's fingers slowly clenched into fists. Calling Jacob 'Dad' was easy because she didn't care about him at all. Since Jacob valued profit above all else, she dealt with him like any other business transaction. Calling him 'Dad' a few times to get company shares? Easy trade. But emotionally, she had given up on Jacob long ago.

Her feelings towards Leah, however, were different. Chloe couldn't ignore the fact that Leah had abandoned her. She couldn't forget Leah's hurtful curses and resentment. Nor could she overlook Leah's complete disregard for her feelings when she decided to take Linda under her wing. The pain from these actions was indescribable.

Once, the person Chloe loved most in the world had been her mother. Chloe would only show emotion in front of Leah.
