Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Lisa was absolutely convinced. It had to be Chloe's doing, all part of some elaborate trap she set. In a whirlwind of anger, Lisa yanked Chloe out from the crowd. "It's Chloe who's been out to ruin me! She just can't stand to see me happy or making inroads with the Shaw

family. Chloe's hell-bent on destroying my life."

Lisa was practically shaking with emotion, while everyone around them was utterly bewildered. Chloe pulled her arm free and shot back, "Lisa, you've got it all twisted."

Jacob was clueless about what was going on and why Chloe was even there, but there was no time to dwell on it. He quickly asked, "Chloe, what's the story with that perfume? Smiley said you made it, but why is it causing allergic reactions and rashes?"

Chloe replied calmly, "Yes, I did create the special perfume." She glanced at the box on the dining table and continued, "The one Lisa took was something I made three years ago. It's well past its expiration."

Lisa screamed, "If it's expired, why didn't you warn me? You just wanted to mess with me!"

Chloe chuckled at the accusation. "I left the Meadows family ages ago. I haven't set foot in that room for three years, and I sure didn't expect you'd sneak into my studio to swipe a perfume I made that long ago to gift someone."

Lisa's face went from white to green, but she stubbornly argued, "What do you mean 'sneak'? Be careful with your words, Chloe. That's my home, and everything in it is mine. If you knew it was expired, why didn't you take it with you? Were you hoping I'd give it away, leaving it there on purpose? Chloe, you're so twisted."

Lisa's words left everyone gobsmacked. Anyone with a hint of sense could tell Lisa was just making excuses.

"Lisa, you're being ridiculous. How could Chloe have possibly known three years ago that you'd swipe her stuff to butter someone up?"

"Exactly, it's just a box of perfume, not some priceless artifact. Why would she go through such trouble to set you up?"

"I've seen shameless, but Lisa, you're on a whole other level. Your nerve is thicker than a city wall."

"Lisa, it seems like you're jealous of Chloe and trying to drag her name through the mud. Not the first time you've tried to frame her, right?"

Seeing everyone back Chloe, Lisa was livid. Her reputation was already in shambles. All she wanted now was to make Chloe pay. Lisa shouted, "You're all just Chloe's puppets! Chloe, this isn't over!"

She snatched up a pink emerald pendant from the table and flung it at Chloe, but Chloe effortlessly caught it, securing it in her hand.

Lisa accused, "Chloe, you messed

with this emerald pendant, didn't you? Did you sell the real one and replace it with a fake? This pendant's a knockoff, isn't it?"

Chloe suddenly laughed. "So you were the one who took it. No wonder I couldn't find it."

Lisa didn't care about anything else anymore. If she couldn't win the Shaw family's favor, then Chloe wouldn't either. Now that she had their attention, she wanted them to see Chloe's true colors.
