Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 652

Lisa felt like she had just pulled off a brilliant move. As the host called her up to collect her prize, she confidently walked onto the stage and returned with a rose brooch in her hand. Scanning the crowd, she basked in the glory of her moment. She thought she had really outdone herself today; starting with such a bold bid to snag the jewelry would surely make everyone see her in a new light.

But something was off. Instead of admiration, she noticed everyone was eyeing her with odd expressions. They were all grinning and chuckling among themselves, as if she was of no consequence. Some even seemed to look down on her, which made Lisa uneasy.

She glanced over at Chloe, who sat there with a poker face. Connor, however, had a slight smile, watching Chloe with a twinkle in his eye. He quipped, “Enjoying the show?” Chloe smiled back without uttering a word. Lisa suddenly felt like the butt of a joke, as if she were the clown in the room.

She knew something wasn’t right, but she couldn’t quite figure out what it was. This unsettling feeling stuck with her until a few more jewelry pieces were auctioned off and the host announced a break. Lisa took this opportunity to approach Claire. After all, Claire was the one footing the bill.

Trying to curry favor, Lisa handed the brooch to Claire, saying, “Ms. Claire, this rose brooch is just perfect for you. I got it as a gift for you.” Lisa suspected Claire wouldn’t accept it, which is why she made the offer. Whatever the case, she needed to stay on Claire’s good side.
