Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chapter 389



Connor's brows furrowed deeply. "What are you talking about?"

Diana yanked open her collar. "Aren't these your marks?"

Tears of defiance welled up in Diana's eyes. "You were drunk. I'm not blaming you, and I won't force you to take responsibility, but you can't just trample all over my feelings."

Connor saw the red marks on her neck. He glanced at them briefly before looking away.

Finally, he understood what Diana was implying. "Last night, it was Barrett, not me," he said calmly.

Diana's head snapped up, her face a mask of disbelief. After a long silence, she asked in a trembling voice, "What did you just say?"

Connor had felt a twinge of reluctance the previous night, but now he was composed. "Barrett is one of Claire's people. From the beginning, his goal was to get close to you."

Connor watched her face contort as if struck by lightning and sighed heavily. "Last night, Chloe saved you. She got there just in time, and Barrett didn't get to do anything that's beyond redemption."

Diana grasped the meaning, but she couldn't accept it. Her body was covered in kiss marks from head to toe, even in the most intimate areas. She couldn't bear the thought that someone other than Uncle Connor had left those marks.

She collapsed to the ground, shaking violently. "How could this happen? Why is this happening?"

Diana fell to the floor, covering her face as she sobbed uncontrollably.

Her cries drew the attention of others in the neighboring room. Faith walked in, looking bewildered by the scene. Shortly after, Pax rushed in too.

Ignoring the heart-wrenching sight of Diana crying, Pax addressed Connor directly. "Uncle Connor, Chloe is missing."

Connor whipped around. "Missing? What do you mean? Didn't I tell you to stay with her and not leave her side?"

Connor knew the precarious

situation they were in. Keeping

Chloe with Pax was supposed to be

the safest option. He had no idea

what Claire might do in her O madness. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Pax looked anxious. "Chloe said she was going to the restroom. I waited outside for a long time but never

saw her come out. But I found this in the hallway." Pax held up a necklace. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

Connor recognized it immediately. It was Chloe's favorite four-leaf clover necklace. His temples began to throb, and his breathing quickened. He had a gut feeling that something bad had happened to Chloe. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org

He rushed toward the door. "Watch over Diana, don't let her do anything foolish," he told Faith before storming out of the room. Pax followed closely behind.

Faith had no idea why Connor was so agitated. But seeing Diana crying and shaking, her eyes swollen, she knew something serious was up.

Pax took in Connor's expression and felt a sinking feeling. "How long has she been missing?" Connor asked.

"About half an hour," Pax replied.

Connor exploded. "Why are you only telling me now?"

Pax looked puzzled. "Maybe Chloe just got lost. Why are you so worried?"

Pax genuinely believed that was all it was.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
