Chapter 442
Connor shook his head, "It's just not happening, Diana. Take care of yourself, okay?"
With that, Connor turned and walked away, his steps long and determined. Diana stood there, tears pouring down her cheeks like rain. She understood exactly what Connor meant. But after all these years, he had become her whole world. And now, with everything crashing down around her, how could she possibly think straight?
Meanwhile...
Chloe had been waiting in the private dining room for ages, and Connor still hadn't come back. Anxiety started creeping in. She couldn't even enjoy the fancy food in front of her anymore. So, she decided to get up and look for him. The problem was, she had no clue where he might be.
Luckily, just as she stepped out, she bumped into the waiter who had shown them in.
"Excuse me," Chloe asked, "Do you know which room Claire booked?"
"Ms. Claire?" The name was practically famous around there. Chloe nodded.
"She's in Room 8," the waiter replied.
Chloe thanked him and made her way towards Room 8. But then, the waiter had a sudden realization-Claire wasn't in Room 8 on this floor. She was actually one floor up. He wanted to let Chloe know but she was already gone. With a sigh, he let it be.
Chloe, on the other hand, was busy searching for Room 8 right there on that floor. As she walked past a security door, she overheard some voices coming from below. At first, she didn't pay it much mind. But then she caught snippets like "Room 8" and "drug." That made her stop in her tracks.
Could Claire really be planning to drug Connor? As she listened more closely, it became clear something was off. The conversation didn't make
sense.
"There are so many people in Room 8, how am I supposed to know which one is Kash?"
"Just get in there. Look for the one who's all stiff and straight-laced. Oh, and he has a scar on his forehead."
"You said this guy's a big deal. Aren't we going to get into trouble messing with him?"
"Relax. The drug's undetectable after
half an hour. Once you've done it, wait in the room. I'll bring him over and you can record everything. With that kind of dirt on a government official, he'll be under our thumb."

Peeking through the crack in the security door Chloe saw a
scruffy-looking man and a woman with a sultry vibe. The man tilted the woman's chin, "Luna, pull this off and you'll be set for life. Who knows, you might end up as a politician's wife." Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
The woman giggled, "And then I'll have a kid with you, and let that politician raise it."
"Perfect, perfect. I love it," the man said, then kissed the woman passionately.
Chloe frowned, eventually pulling
away from the scene-it was just too much. Now she had a grip on what was going down. These two were plotting against Kash, the guy in Room 8. Chloe didn't really want to get involved. But what if Connor was mixed up in this too? She had to check it out.
Soon enough, Chloe found herself standing at the door to Room 8.
