Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Chapter 1089

No one could stay calm standing in front of this much wealth.

Grant's eyes were wide, jaw slack with disbelief. This was the kind of treasure people would kill for a fortune big enough to buy the world.

But Chloe's face was unreadable. She wasn't thinking about gold or jewels. All she could focus on was finding a way out, a way to save everyone. Should she risk everything and strike at Killian while he was caught up in his own victory? Even if she did, they were trapped, buried hundreds of meters underground. Escape seemed impossible.

Her mind spun, desperate for a solution. That's when she noticed something— and suddenly screamed.

Grant was nearby. The moment he heard her, he ran to her side. "What's wrong?"

The bodies were arranged neatly, each draped in jewels and finery, the whole scene both bizarre and horrifying.
