Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 865

Connor had seen it all coming. As darkness settled in, the bodyguards started feeling uneasy, each rushing off into the woods with a sudden urge to... well, let's just say nature was calling in the worst way. Earlier, while Connor was out picking berries in the forest, he stumbled upon some herbs known to cause a bit of gastric mischief. He wasn't exactly an expert in the field, but Chloe had once pointed them out to him during a reality show they did together.

Originally, Connor was hoping to find some poisonous mushrooms to deal with the guards more directly. No luck there, though. Instead, he gathered some senna and castor beans, chopped them up, and mixed them into the food. Now, they were working like a charm.

As everyone else disappeared into the forest, Connor slipped out of his room. With a swift kick, he busted open Chloe's door. She was sitting on the floor near a tiny hole they'd managed to chisel in the wall. Hearing the commotion, Chloe looked up to find Connor standing there, a sight she was more than ready to see. She jumped to her feet and dashed toward him, and they hugged like they were never letting go.

Connor had already clued Chloe in on his plan with a secret signal, so she didn't touch a bite of the food. She was waiting, and now, the time had come.

Holding Chloe close, Connor whispered, "We gotta get out of here, fast."

"I'm with you," she replied without hesitation.
