Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Chapter 79



Chloe lazily tore off a piece of bread and popped it into her mouth. "Linda tried to mess with me, so I made sure to give her a taste of her own medicine. Let her know we're even now. But if she pulls any more stunts, she can't blame me for not playing nice."

Linda had smeared her reputation online, costing her the prime-time TV host spot. In retaliation, Chloe had Linda's mom cause a scene at the TV station, turning the tables a bit. Chloe was certain Linda's troubles were far from over.
