Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chapter 193

The next second, Chloe found herself suddenly pulled into a warm embrace.

"Chloe, you stinker! I've missed you."

"Same here, Cassie."

They hugged each other tightly, ignoring the curious glances from those around them. After a brief moment, Cassie let go and said, "Come with me."

Chloe followed Cassie into the grand mansion of the Gilbert family and then upstairs. Five minutes later, Chloe was sitting on the sofa in Cassie's room. With the door shut, all the noise and commotion from outside faded away.

Cassie still looked stunned by the surprise. "You came to Eldridge City and didn't even let me know? If I'd known, I would've picked you up from the airport."

Chloe smiled, "I'm here for work. Ended up here by chance."

Cassie's eyes fell on the lilies Chloe had brought. She walked over and picked them up. "For me?"

Chloe quickly took them back. "Nope, these are for Miss Gilbert. A gift from someone else. Don't ruin them."© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"By the way, which Gilbert member is having their birthday today?" Chloe asked.

Cassie's expression suddenly turned serious, her brows furrowing. "Who sent you with these flowers?"

Chloe sensed something was off. "The chairperson of Eldridge Entertainment, Claire."

Cassie stood up, went straight to the trash can, and threw the flowers away.

"What are you doing? Why'd you throw them out?"

Cassie turned around and casually poured two glasses of red wine. She was wearing black silk pajamas with white trim. They were slightly loose but gave her a carefree, dashing charm Her short, neatly styled hair gave her an air of rugged

handsomeness. Though clearly a girl, her every movement exuded

effortless cool.

Cassie handed Chloe a glass of wine and then leaned in beside her. "Things could've gotten really bad if you hadn't bumped into me today." Chloe was puzzled. "What do you mean?"

Cassie took a leisurely sip of her wine. "Today is my cousin Diana's birthday, but she's allergic to lilies. If you had given her those, it could've triggered her asthma. Who would take responsibility if something happened?"

Cassie gave her a look. "Dummy, you got played."

Chloe's expression grew serious as her mind raced with information. Diana? The name "Diana" from Connor's phone flashed in her mind. Could it be just a coincidence?

"Why would Claire do this?" Chloe asked. "It's so low for her to act this way."

Cassie sighed, "It's complicated. You wouldn't understand all the love and hate tangled up in this."

Suzanne had no significant background and was just a third-rate actress in her younger years. She and her daughter's fate could have been much

worse if it hadn't been for Desmond's protection over the years.
