Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chapter 312

She pointed at Connor, her face twisted in fear. "You're a monster! I'm going to kill you!"

Then, she lunged at him.

That day was pure chaos. Diana couldn't remember much after that. When she came to, she was in a hospital bed, and Connor was there too.

He had been hurt as well. Claire, in a fit of rage, had stabbed him. The knife wound was in his back, but luckily, it wasn't too serious.

Later, her mom told her that when Claire had attacked, Connor could have dodged it. But instead, he turned around to shield Diana, taking the stab himself.

When Diana woke up, she saw Connor sitting by her bed. He was staring at her with a steady gaze.

"Thanks for saving me."

From that day on, she had her own guardian angel.

Diana never asked why, that despite the thorough search of the Sartori family, she was never found. Or why it was Connor who found her. She didn't ask why he protected her without expecting anything in return.

But deep down, Diana knew.

They shared a common pain. Claire's hatred wasn't even directed at her but at Connor.

To Claire, she was just a plaything. But Connor was like a cancer to Clare.

For Diana, Claire was terrifying. But if it hadn't been for Claire, she wouldn't have formed such a strong bond with Connor. So, deep down, she didn't hate Claire.

"Diana, what are you thinking about?" Kalilah's voice snapped Diana back to reality.

"Nothing," Diana said with a sweet smile. "Just feeling lucky."

"Of course, you're lucky. Connor is so good to you. He's going to be all yours tonight." Kalilah kept chatting with Diana, trying to pry into Connor's likes and dislikes and other secrets.

It was obvious to anyone listening, but Diana answered all the questions patiently and truthfully. Chloe hadn't actually fallen asleep. She had been listening with her eyes closed, barely able to stand it. Chloe stood up. "Diana, want to go seashell hunting with me?"

Diana was surprised. Chloe had always been so indifferent to her.

Diana was thrilled. "Sure, Chloe."

Faith, still with her face mask on, tore it off. "I'm coming too! I've

The three of them walked out of the tent.

[Diana and Kalilah: one is genuinely naive, the other is just pretending]

[Thank goodness Chloe interrupted Kalilah's interrogation, or Diana's bank PIN would have been out]

[Chloe really goes out of her way for these people]

[Faith is too cute, all she thinks about is food]

As they left the tent, Kalilah, frustrated, bit her lip.

Diana, seeing Connor, beamed. "Uncle Connor, come here! Look what I found!"

Connor walked over.

Chloe, who had been standing next to Diana, stepped aside.

Watching Chloe walk away, Connor's brows furrowed.
