Billionaire

Chapter 205

“If I say no?”

“Connor, you know Linda was the other woman in my past relationship. I won’t let myself become that person. Even if we were just having fun without any feelings, I’d never break up someone else’s relationship.”

“Chloe, don’t the three years we spent together mean anything to you?”

Chloe shook her head with a smile. “Connor, look at yourself. How are you any different from Lucas back then? Even your tone is exactly the same.”

Hearing Chloe compare him to Lucas darkened Connor’s expression.

“Connor, we don’t have to end this badly. Since we never had real feelings for each other, let’s part on good terms today. I wish you and Diana the best. When the time comes, I’ll make sure to attend your wedding if you send me a wedding invite.”

Then, Chloe turned to grab her bag, ready to leave.

She had only taken a few steps when Connor caught up to her. He suddenly grabbed Chloe’s arm. His eyes clearly showed he was holding back something. He gripped Chloe’s arm tightly as if letting go would make her disappear.

“I’ll pack up your things. You can have Teddy come pick them up when they’re ready.” Chloe spoke calmly. “From now on, we don’t need to see each other unless it’s necessary.”

Connor wanted to say something when he suddenly noticed a shadow at the edge of the upper floor corridor, watching them the whole time.

Connor clenched his teeth. Finally, through gritted teeth, he managed, “Fine, since you’ve made up your mind, let’s end it here.”

Then he slowly let go of Chloe’s hand.

Chloe couldn’t help but ask, “If you already loved someone, why did you come to me? Couldn’t stand being lonely and just needed to solve your physical needs?”

Connor’s expression went back to being cold, but his face was pallid. His voice became calm and indifferent. “You said what we had between us was not about feelings but for fun. Why bother to know this now?”

Chloe chuckled. She suddenly felt relieved. “Actually, I was a bit worried that you had real feelings, and that would have been really troublesome. But now, this is good, really good.”

“Goodbye, Trophy Boy.”

Chloe casually waved her hand in a goodbye gesture, then she left.

Chapter 205

She hooked Cassie’s shoulder. “Ditched a big problem. Definitely worth celebrating. Come on, I’ll treat you to a steak dinner.”

Chloe ate a lot that night, and even went for the spiciest dishes. They were so spicy that she ended up in tears.

Cassie sighed inwardly. Chloe was still taking it seriously, after all. But no matter what, she knew Chloe was clear–headed.

The waters of the Sartori family run deep, and anyone stepping into it would only drown. She didn’t want Chloe to have anything to do with them.

Chloe stayed in Eldridge City for two days before returning to Riverbrook.

Back home, life resumed as usual – work, then home.

The only difference was that Connor’s presence was no longer seen in Greenpeace Estate.

Chloe had packed up all of Connor’s things, and then she sent one last message to him, telling him to send someone to pick up his stuff.

Then, she deleted all of his contact information.
