Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 505

Absolutely.

Just three days ago, Chloe had roped in a buddy to help track down Ricky. This pal had all the right connections, from the seedy underbelly to the elite circles in Riverbrook. Why not ask Connor for help, you wonder? Well, Chloe just didn’t want to dig up that old part of her life in front of him, even though she knew he wouldn’t bat an eye.

The buddy tipped her off that Rat was holed up in a Riverbrook nightclub lately. The reason he was flying under the radar? Someone else had booked the room for him, and all his details were under their name. No shock there—the mystery benefactor was none other than Lisa.

Rat had been living it up at the nightclub during the day, and as soon as night fell, he’d hit the underground casino. In just a few days, he'd racked up a mountain of debt. The kicker? All of it was under Lisa's name.

Chloe furrowed her brow. Why was it Lisa again?

As the sun dipped below the horizon, Chloe made her way to “Night Veil,” the club her buddy had pointed out. Once inside, she headed straight for the casino downstairs. Her friend had said Rat would be there, gambling like a man possessed. And sure enough, she spotted him quickly.

Rat still bore the marks of a recent scuffle, his cheekbone smeared with purplish bruises, his eyes bloodshot from the gambling frenzy. Chloe didn’t rush in. Instead, she observed from the shadows.

In mere minutes, Rat had blown through hundreds of thousands in chips. When he tried to get more credit, the casino staff shut him down, demanding immediate payment. Rat tried to brush them off, saying, "Let's talk this over. It's just a few hundred grand. A phone call, and I’ll have it sorted."
