Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 322

His eyes brimmed with a terror no one had ever seen before, pure panic radiating from his gaze.

Meanwhile, Chloe's voice remained steady and calm. She tossed the snake to the ground. "I'm fine."

Connor still clung tightly to Chloe. In that moment, he felt his heart, which had nearly stopped, start to beat again. His blood, once cold, now surged with renewed vigor.

Chloe attempted to free her hand from Connor's grasp, but before she could, he pulled her into a tight embrace.

"You scared me half to death. I'm just glad you're okay."

Connor's voice was thick with emotion. Pax, standing nearby, was stunned by what he was witnessing. What on earth was going on? He had been scared out of his wits, his body still cold from the fear. But his uncle's reaction was something else entirely—he had never seen him so visibly shaken.

Of course, Pax didn't dwell on it too long. His main concern was for Chloe. It was such a relief that Chloe was safe.

Chloe, still in Connor's arms, frowned. Everyone was staring at her, and she was anxious to avoid any misunderstandings. She pushed Connor away with some force.

"Mr. Connor, please. Look carefully, I’m not Diana."

Chloe offered a reasonable explanation for Connor's strange behavior, suggesting that in his panic, he had mistaken her for Diana.

Kalilah approached them. "Yes, Connor, relax. Diana’s fine. I pulled her out of the tent myself."
