Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chapter 327

Kalilah initially felt a wave of gratitude.

Connor actually remembered she hadn't eaten dinner. He even saved some food for her. But when she looked down and saw what Connor had brought, her face went as pale as a ghost. It was the snake egg she had hidden under Chloe's bed.

Fear washed over her, making her bones feel like they were cracking under the pressure.

"Connor, what is this supposed to mean?" she asked, her voice trembling.

Connor's expression was icy, his words even colder. "Kalilah, eat this, and this incident will be forgotten. Otherwise, I guarantee you'll be the number one trending topic tomorrow."

Kalilah's face turned even whiter. She had always dreamed of being trending, but not like this. If people found out she had deliberately hidden a snake egg under Chloe's bed, her life would be over. But the thought of swallowing that egg made her stomach churn.

Connor's tone remained unsettlingly calm. "Of course, your actions could be considered attempted murder. Trust me, I have the means to make sure you end up behind bars."

Now, Kalilah wasn't just disgusted. She was terrified. She hadn't realized the consequences could be this severe. But why was everyone protecting Chloe?

"Connor, you don't even like Chloe. Why are you doing this for her?" she cried out.

Connor's voice was calm but as cold as ice. "What happens between her and me is none of your business."

Tears streamed down Kalilah's face. "I only put the snake egg under Chloe's bed as a prank. I never thought a snake would actually come." Connor's lips curled into a cruel smile. "I'm just playing a joke now too. Eat it."

Kalilah shook her head vigorously. "Chloe didn't get hurt, and she just hit me. Look at my face; my bones feel like they're falling apart."Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

She began to plead, "Please, Connor, spare me this one time. I know I mess up. I won't do it again. Haven't I been punished enough?"

Connor stood up and took a couple of steps towards her. "It's just a snake egg now, but if you hesitate any longer, I'll make you eat the snake itself. Trust me, I have my ways."

Kalilah stared at Connor's cold, handsome face. He seemed almost god-like, yet there was a madness in his calm demeanor. She could feel his contained yet explosive anger, more terrifying than a storm ft felt like he could crush her like an ant at any moment.

She took a step back, but Connor kept advancing. She knew there was no escaping this.

Connor, with his calm madness,

instilled a fear in her greater than any she had felt, even more than when Chloe had dislocated her bones. Kalilah looked at the snake egg in his hand. With a desperate move, she grabbed it, closed her eyes, and shoved it into her mouth. She swallowed it whole, the thin but hard shell getting stuck in her throat.
