Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chapter 460

Lisa spoke through clenched teeth. Chloe crouched down, her eyes sparkling with amusement as she looked at Lisa. "Even if Connor and I part ways, it's still not your time to shine." Lisa, incensed, shot up. "What's that supposed to mean, Chloe?" Chloe sank back onto the sofa with an air of casual authority. Despite her relaxed posture, her gaze felt like a challenge. "Lisa, I can read you like a book. Your crush on Connor is written all over your face. Do you really think destroying my marriage certificate is going to get you what you want?"

Lisa's anger faded, replaced by a smug grin. "Getting what I want isn't for you to decide. You're not Mrs. Connor yet, and who knows who'll end up in that spot." Chloe met her eyes steadily. "So, you're admitting you ruined my marriage certificate on purpose?" Lisa shrugged defiantly. "So what if I did? Connor hasn't said a word to me about it, so why do you care?"

"I doubt Mr. Connor is in any rush to marry you either. You might want to bow out gracefully. You, with your fake heiress act, think you're worthy of him?" Chloe snapped back. A sharp slap echoed as Chloe's hand met Lisa's cheek. Lisa's eyes widened in shock. "Chloe, did you just slap me again?"

"Lisa, this isn't the dark ages. Enough with the high-and-mighty act. Just because someone's ordinary doesn't mean they're beneath you, and wearing fancy clothes doesn't hide a mean spirit. If you want to play queen in your own little world, go ahead, but don't drag others down with you. I've never felt superior because of my family name, nor do I feel less now for being a 'fake heiress.' I'm proud of each chapter in my life."

Chloe had gained wisdom from her experiences. She'd been hurt by her parents' sudden coldness and felt betrayed by those she trusted most. But never had she let her status dictate her worth. Everyone is born equal, at least in spirit. To Lisa, though, Chloe's words were just privileged nonsense. Chloe had always lived in comfort, never really knowing hardship, and was now engaged to Connor. She spoke of equality because she had never truly suffered. What a joke.

"Chloe, let's see if you're still preaching when Connor leaves you." Chloe grabbed Lisa's face with surprising firmness. "This is your last warning, Lisa. Connor is my man. Keep your schemes to yourself. I won't let you mess with him." Lisa, her words garbled, protested, "You think you're so high and mighty? I'll go after Connor if I want. What can you do?"

Chloe's expression turned icy as she released Lisa. Lisa, undeterred, pushed further. "Chloe, isn't the idea of a little family drama exciting?" Chloe chuckled suddenly. "Exciting? Sure. Let's see how excited you are after checking your phone." Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Lisa sensed something was off. She grabbed her phone and discovered, to her horror, a video of their entire conversation, crystal clear. Worse, it had been sent to everyone in her contacts! Lisa was floored. What was going on?

Furious, with her lips trembling, Lisa shouted, "Chloe, you recorded me! I'll sue you for invasion of privacy! I'll see you behind bars!" But Chloe calmly walked to the dressing mirror, reached into a hidden spot, and pulled out a tiny camera. "Lisa, weren't you the one who set up surveillance in my room? Oh, and by the way, this is your footage."
