Chapter 200



Connor snapped back to reality. He turned and looked down at Diana, his eyes now soft and tender. "I'm fine. Next time Eve bothers you, just give me a call."

Diana nodded, and then her gaze shifted back to Chloe. "Is this lady a friend you brought along?"

Diana didn't recognize Chloe. Naturally, she wasn't on the guest list. Since she was Connor's friend from Riverbrook, she must have come with him. Just then, Cassie stepped forward and threw an arm around Chloe's shoulder.

"She's my friend. She's here to see me today."

Diana seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, her mood lifting. "Oh, so she's my cousin's friend. Sorry for not welcoming you properly."

Cassie, ever so nonchalant, said, “Don't worry about it. She's not here for you."

Then, looking down at Chloe, she said, “Come on, let's not bother with them and head upstairs to have some fun."

Cassie was slim but tall. Even next to Chloe, who was in heels, she was still a bit taller. From behind, one might mistake her for Chloe's boyfriend. Chloe smiled, "It's getting late. I should be going."

She glanced at Diana. "Miss Diana, happy birthday. I'll be on my way now."

Cassie immediately followed. "Let me drive
