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.

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