Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 65

But everyone's jaw practically hit the floor in shock. They all knew Connor from the Eldridge Elites wasn't interested in any socialite lady because his heart was already taken. For this girl, he even lived like a monk, celibate and all.

To dodge an arranged marriage set up by his father, Connor moved all the way to Riverbrook, a small town miles away from Eldridge City. That's right. Connor had been in Riverbrook for three years, partly for the Paradise Resort project and partly because his father arranged a marriage for him with Eve, the only daughter of one of Eldridge City's top families, the Nagels.

"How can you have a girlfriend? Are you betraying me?" Eve's voice trembled with disbelief.

Connor's lips curled slightly, but his eyes remained cold. "My relationship status has nothing to do with you."

"Connor, I'm your fiancée."

"I never acknowledged that," he replied icily.

"You know Jeffery values me the most. He’s already proposed to my family in private; it just hasn't been announced publicly."

Connor's lips twisted into a bitter smile. "Since he decided this, then you might as well marry him."

Eve stared at him, her eyes wide with shock. "Connor, you're so heartless."

As things were about to explode, Devon stepped in to calm things down. "Eve, your marriage to him wasn't finalized. Don't make a fuss."
