Billionaire

Chapter 270

Connor suddenly grabbed Chloe’s arm.

“Chloe, you were exchanging looks and toasting with the bar’s singer. Don’t tell me you two don’t know each other?” Connor was probing. He was almost certain in his heart, but he didn’t want to confront Chloe about Pax’s identity without confirmation.

So from the moment she had been in the booth, Connor had his eyes on her. Chloe just laughed.

“So what if I know him? What’s it to you if we were exchanging looks?” Chloe’s demeanor was indifferent throughout, which only seemed to fuel Connor’s fr ation.

“Chloe, I won’t meddle, but we’ve shared a bed for three years. I don’t want to see you get hurt. You caan be anyone but him.”

A flicker of confusion passed through Chloe’s eyes, followed by amusement. She brushed‘ her hair behind her ear. “Connor, don’t act all noble and concerned for me, okay? I don’t need it. Who I date, hold hands with, kiss, or even sleep with–is none of your business now. If you’re not afraid of getting hurt again, keep harassing me.”

Chloe sensed something was amiss but couldn’t be sure. “Connor, what are you trying to say?”

“Just come with me,” Connor insisted, pulling her hand.

Chloe, however, shook off his hand. “I can walk on my own.”

In the end, she ended up following Connor. Deep down, she had a vague idea but wasn’t sure about her guess.

Connor’s madness stemmed from seeing her interaction with Pax. He knew Pax, and Pax’s identity was far from simple, which explained Connor’s reaction.

The sudden blackout earlier was probably Connor’s doing, but why?

Who was Pax? Why did he make Connor alm

Her curiosity was piqued.

They had been in a private room of the bar, and upon returning to the main hall, it was brightly lit again.

Cassie was still in the booth, incessantly calling Chloe. Upon seeing Chloe walk in, she hurriedly approached her. “Chloe, where did you go? I thought you were kidnapped.”

Then, noticing Connor trailing behind, Cassie scoffed, “So you were kidnapped, huh?”

Stepping forward, she slung an arm around Chloe’s shoulder. “How did it go? You didn’t get the short end of the stick, did you?”
