Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 516

By the end of their chat, Suzanne's voice had shed its usual softness, taking on a sharpness that hadn't been there before. She'd held a trump card back in the day, using it to strike a deal with Connor.

Connor finally broke his silence: "Sure, we had a deal, but the agreement was that I'd protect her until she was grown-up, not that I'd definitely marry her."

Suzanne's expression shifted. Connor's face turned cold, his voice carrying a familiar chill and confidence: "Diana’s twenty now, a full-grown adult. Our agreement's done and dusted."

Suzanne's face fell, but she kept her composure. "Mr. Connor, with Diana in this state, don't you feel any responsibility? If marriage wasn't your plan, why let the rumors fly? For ages, everyone in the Eldridge Elites thought Diana would join the Sartori family. Then suddenly, Ms. Chloe shows up, and you're married in a month. How's Diana supposed to handle that? What will the Eldridge Elites think of her?"

"Aunt Suzanne, that’s not what we settled on back in the day."

Suzanne blinked, taken aback. "What do you mean?"

"You only asked me to keep your daughter safe, no matter the cost. Aren't you asking too much now?"
