Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Chapter 316



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?"
