Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Chapter 1055

Connor knew exactly what Chloe was doing-she was putting her life on the line to threaten Grant.

She was gambling everything.

But Chloe had no idea she could actually hold her breath underwater for ten whole minutes. Most people would've drowned after just four or five.
