Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 674

This was quite the unexpected twist.

Connor asked again, "How did you get hold of that video?"

"A friend passed it on to me. I had asked this friend to dig into Ricky before. During their investigation, they set up some tiny cameras in his house. The footage was live-streamed, so even after Lisa torched Ricky's house and wiped out all the evidence, the recordings were safely stored."

Connor felt like the pieces of the puzzle in his mind were slowly falling into place.

But when Chloe mentioned that she had turned to a friend, rather than him, to look into Ricky, it left him with a knot of unease he couldn't quite articulate.

He finally asked, "Chloe, why didn't you come to me about all this?"

She hadn't even given him a heads-up.

Chloe was a bit caught off guard, "You were swamped, I didn't want to bother you."

Chloe knew just how much Connor had on his plate.

Running the massive Sartori Corporation, not only shouldering half of it but also starting his own venture, CNR.

And if that wasn't enough, he was constantly fending off Claire's nasty schemes.

He was brilliant, sure, but he wasn’t invincible.

Chloe saw how worn out he was every single day.

Naturally, she didn’t want to load him with things she could handle herself.

"So, you opted to lean on your friend, and in your eyes, they're more reliable than me, huh?"

Connor's voice was tinged with a playful pout.

Chloe was taken aback.

She hadn't expected Connor to read it that way.

"I just didn’t want to add to your stress, is it wrong that I didn’t want to burden you?"

The car had just rolled off the freeway.

A red light blinked ahead.

Connor hit the brakes hard, bringing the car to a stop.

He turned to face Chloe, his expression a mix of bafflement and a touch of innocence.
