Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 673

Grant gave him a quick glance and walked off with purpose. Connor, meanwhile, headed over to Chloe. She was already feeling satisfied after devouring two bowls of almond jelly and a small piece of cake. But there she was, approaching with another mini cake in hand.

Chloe handed the cake to Connor with a smile, “Feeling hungry? Take a bite, this is really delicious.” Connor accepted it, “Come on, we need to talk.”

Before long, they were out of the old palace's exhibit and driving through the winding traffic on Eldridge City's elevated highways. Chloe couldn't help but notice that Connor seemed a bit off.

“What’s on your mind?” she asked, sensing something was up. Connor had a tight-lipped, slightly troubled look about him.

Picking up on his mood, Chloe playfully teased, “Are you about to ask why the jewelry that Lisa sneakily tucked into my bag ended up in the toilet?”

Connor shot her a glance. Chloe leaned back in her seat and chuckled, “When she trailed me to the restroom, I knew exactly what she was planning. So, I intentionally left my bag outside, giving her the opportunity. While pretending to fix my makeup, I wrapped the brooch in a wet wipe and tossed it into the nearby trash can. The cleaning lady? I had arranged for her beforehand, after guessing Lisa’s intentions. After all, being the lead jewelry designer at QUEEN, I know everyone.”

A rare glint of pride danced across Chloe’s face. Connor found her attitude quite endearing, though he still tried to keep a straight face.
