Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover



Standing outside the door, Lisa listened until her teeth were nearly clenched to breaking point. A family of three they made. Then what was she? It had been three years since she had returned, and it seemed that, deep down, Jacob and Leah had never truly considered her part of the family. In their hearts, the daughter they genuinely liked, acknowledged, and wanted was still Chloe.

Lisa was filled with resentment that had nowhere to go. She headed back to her room. Wanting to vent her frustrations, she found that there was hardly anything left to smash; she had already destroyed almost everything in her room. In the past, no matter what she broke, Leah would have it replaced the very next day. But at some point, Leah stopped caring altogether.

Now, Lisa suddenly realized her room was bare and devoid of any decent decorations. This made her feel even more out of place. Jacob had just mentioned that the Shaw family had given Chloe a priceless emerald pendant. She hadn't known that the Meadows family had such a treasure or that they could mingle with elite circles like the Eldridge Elites, not falling short of the renowned Sartori family.

But that emerald pendant should have been hers, shouldn't it? If she hadn't switched places with Chloe back then, she would have been the one Jacob held in his arms. She would have been the one Neil saw, felt a connection with, and decided to gift a longevity locket to. All these chances were stolen from her by Chloe. So, she decided, Chloe must give everything back.

Initially, Lisa had planned to swipe Leah's sunflower jewelry to sell for cash. But now, she had a change of heart. If she really stole Leah's dowry, Leah would surely cut ties with her and might even boot her out of the house. However, Chloe's emerald pendant was a different story. If she could get her hands on that pendant and claim she was the child from back then, then she could be the one to connect with the Shaw family. If Chloe could reach the Sartori family, she could climb up to the Shaw family.

Lisa was no fool; the value of that emerald pendant was definitely worth more than Leah's diamonds by tenfold, if not more. She calmed herself down, pulled out her phone, and called Chloe.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Chloe was at Sundance Heights when she got the call. Ann was in the kitchen prepping lunch, while Chloe lounged on the living room sofa watching TV. Eyeing the

"Chloe, you jerk! How dare you team up with Connor to mess with me? You'll pay for this; I won't let you get away with it..." Lisa's voice erupted with furious cursing. Having endured so much that day, she needed to blow off steam first.

Ann had just called out from the

But then, something clicked. She thought she had heard Ann's voice over the phone. Was Chloe at Ann's place? She had overheard Leah and Jacob's conversation earlier, knowing that Chloe had
