Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 55

Lucas' face darkened.

Chloe, it seemed, didn't really want to end things.

He hadn’t told his family about Linda being pregnant yet. Didn’t Chloe reveal this now just to make everyone think Linda was using the pregnancy to push her out?

How could they ever accept Linda after this?

Just as expected, when Tara found out, she went ballistic.

“Lucas, are you and that little home-wrecker bullying Chloe? Let me tell you, I don’t care if she’s pregnant or not; she’s never stepping foot into this home, and we certainly won’t accept that child.”

“Mom, the baby Linda’s carrying is my own flesh and blood, your grandchild.” Lucas was fuming, too.

“The Moncada family doesn’t need such disgraceful lineage. How has Chloe treated Linda over the years? When those thugs kidnaped Linda, Chloe saved her, taking a knife for her and almost losing her life in the process. Chloe still has a deep scar on her shoulder. What did Linda do in return? At Chloe’s most desperate and vulnerable moment, she stole her boyfriend. Does she have any conscience at all?”

Chloe went through the triple betrayal of family, friendship, and love back then. In her despair, she tried to end her own life.

Such a happy-go-lucky person like her was driven to suicide. Just thinking about it made Tara’s heart ache unbearably.

Lucas’ gaze turned icy. “I pursued Linda. This has nothing to do with her. If anyone should apologize, it’s me.”

“Fine, fine, keep defending her. You’re utterly bewitched. You’ll regret this in the future.”

Chloe grabbed Tara’s arm. “Mom, it's come to this. I’ve let go. You should, too. Even if I can’t be your daughter-in-law, I’m willing to be your daughter and take care of you in your old age.”

Tara, holding Chloe’s hand, burst into tears.
