Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chloe's face barely flickered, but deep inside, she was a bit rattled.

What Connor had said, though, wasn't enough to sway her. Chloe had already made up her mind.

She looked up, her eyes steady on Connor. "Mr. Connor, you've said a lot, and if it's all true, I truly feel for you and Diana. But you didn't need to explain any of this to me because I never planned on joining your chaotic game."

"Connor, I don't love you anymore. You thought keeping silent was protecting me, but the pain you caused hurt more than Claire's ever did. I might have had real feelings for you once, but I've taken them back."

Chloe gave a wry smile. "I've been through hell and back, so I value my life more than ever. If being with you would bring Claire's wrath, or even assassination attempts, why would I choose that?"

Her tone was ice-cold. "If Ms. Claire has any misunderstandings, I can explain it to her myself, so don't worry about my safety."

Chloe picked up the herbs from the ground and turned decisively.

A few steps later, she paused. "And though I won't get involved, I want to remind you that your thoughts don't represent Diana's feelings. You might not have romantic feelings for her, but can't you see she genuinely loves you?"

"Chloe, do you really..."

Chloe spun around, cutting him off. "After everything you've said, after such a heartfelt confession, am I truly not moved? Can I really not face death, stand by your side, fight against Claire, sacrifice my own peace, all for undying love?"

Chloe's smile was bright. "I'm sorry, but no."

Then, she walked away.

Call her cautious, call her selfish, but knowing the danger ahead, why would she dive right in?

After being betrayed by her childhood friend of twenty years, she understood everything.

Love was worth nothing!

She would live her life for herself.

She wouldn't become a pawn in the Sartori family's battles. Nor did she want to be anyone's weakness.

She was different from Connor. After Linda,

Even though her mind was clear, a hint of irritation lingered.

Half an hour later, Chloe and Connor returned to the beach with the herbs.

Juztin helped Connor.

An hour later, the makeshift table was surprisingly filled with delicious dishes.

Everyone was stunned.

The live stream chat went wild.

[Did I just see a miracle? He managed to make coconut oil from fresh coconuts, that's just amazing]

[Garlic shrimp, sautéed crab with

green onions, sea bream sashimi fried octopus, and stir-fried wild mushrooms with vegetables. Are these really dishes you'd find on a deserted island?]

[Oh my god, it's making my mouth water, it's teasing me!]

[Looks good, but I don't believe a few herbs could make it all taste that great.]
