Billionaire

Chapter 268

Teddy was the quintessential playboy. But everything changed when he met Amelia. S captivated him completely, and he proposed to her on the spot. Even though Amelia d like him and turned him down multiple times, he still stuck around, playing the role of I protector.

After Amelia’s death, he was never the same. Gone was the reckless playboy, replaced a composed and steady man. He was the eldest grandson of a wealthy and influential family but chose to work as Connor’s secretary, not just to avoid taking over the family business as his parents wanted, but for a more crucial reason: he wanted to avenge Amelia.

Connor and Teddy shared a common enemy, Claire.

Connor closed his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose. “I always thought Pax was still kid. I can’t believe he’s old enough to fall in love.”

Teddy sighed. “It’s a shame. With a mother like his, this romance is doomed from the start.”

Connor responded calmly, “Every experience is part of growing up. At least he’s happy

now.”

Pax’s live performance was at nine. Chloe showed up on time today, bringing Cassie along. Pax lit up when he saw Chloe in the crowd, raising his hand to greet her. Chloe waved back, and Connor had caught this entire exchange. He was sitting in the VIP area on the second floor.

From the moment Chloe walked in, Connor had a bad feeling. It must’ve been a coincidence, he reassured himself. But when Pax’s face lit up as he smiled at Chloe, Connor felt like he was being strangled. He could barely breathe.

Why did it have to be Chloe? Pax had fallen for her? Everything suddenly made sense. Pa hadn’t been to Italy recently; he’d stayed in France. Chloe had gone to Paris for a fashion design competition. The masked model in Chloe’s sand–inspired dress who stole the show–was Pax! Connor had found the model familiar the first time he saw him but had dismissed it as impossible. Paris was a city of millions, so how did two seemingly unrelated people connect like that? It seemed absurd.

Yet here they were. Not only did they know each other, but Pax had fallen for Chloe. Connor had done everything he could to keep Chloe out of Claire’s sight, even breaking up with her to protect her, but now she had walked right into the danger zone herself.

Connor closed his eyes, a deep sense of helplessness washing over him. Was this some cruel joke? When he opened his eyes again, his emotions had settled into a cold determination. He had to stop this.

Standing beside him, Teddy was too shocked to speak for a long moment. Finally, he said, “Boss, is Mr. Pax planning to confess his feelings to Chloe tonight?”

Connor’s expression grew even darker. His voice was ice–cold. “Teddy, I need you to do something for me.”
