Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 847

There was chaos over at St. Mary's Hospital. Someone had messed with their water system, resulting in a mass poisoning that knocked everyone in the psychiatric ward out cold. Even Claire's bodyguards, who had grabbed a bite at the cafeteria, were found slumped over in a deep sleep.

The drug used was a powerful psychoactive one. It didn't knock people out instantly. Instead, after eating and drinking, everyone just felt sluggish and eventually slipped into an unconscious state. By the time Teddy showed up, the whole place was like a scene from a zombie movie—everyone was out.

But the real kicker? Claire was missing. Her room was empty, and the security cameras had been tampered with. Clearly, this was a well-thought-out plan.

Connor was stumped about who could be behind this. A nagging feeling of dread crept over him. He turned to the hotel manager and said, "Cancel tonight's event." Connor wasn't about to gamble with any risks, but that uneasy feeling wouldn't quit. He had dismantled Claire’s inner circle—so how could she pull this off? It was obvious this was planned and not something she could do solo. What or who was backing her?

There wasn't time to dwell on it. Instinctively, Connor thought of Chloe, then remembered she was still resting at St. Peter’s Cathedral. He needed to get back to her, pronto. Only with Chloe near could he feel any sense of calm.

Since the news of Claire’s disappearance, it was like a dark pit had opened inside him, growing with a fear he couldn’t name. As Connor headed out, he tried calling Chloe, but her phone kept ringing with no answer.

Just ten minutes earlier...

When Chloe woke up, Cassie was the only one by her side. Chloe sat up, rubbing her eyes. "Cassie, what's up?"
