Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover



Two people turned their gaze toward the door in unison.

There stood Lisa, toting a Hermes bag, arms crossed as she leaned against the doorframe. Her eyes were filled with mockery and disdain.

Ann, however, jumped up in surprise, excitement mixed with a hint of joy in her eyes. "Lisa, you're back?"

Seeing Lisa brought delight to Ann. After all, she held deep affection for this daughter. For over twenty years, she had almost single-handedly raised her, facing countless hardships and challenges. Unfortunately, she hadn't been able to provide a comfortable life due to financial struggles. John's drinking and gambling left a deep scar on them. Through the years, Ann and Lisa moved from place to place, enduring hardships together. Ann carried a deep sense of guilt towards Lisa, believing her daughter's estrangement was due to her own shortcomings as a mother. Her lack of education meant she couldn't provide the guidance Lisa needed. As a mother, she felt like she had failed completely. Yet, deep down, she loved Lisa dearly, even though they weren't related by blood.

Ann asked with concern, "Lisa, have you had lunch yet?"

Lisa strutted in, swinging her hips. "I've been treated so poorly, I haven't even had a chance to eat."

Ann quickly replied, "Let's eat together, I'll grab you some cutlery."

Lisa stood beside the dining table, looking down at the food with disdain. "No thanks, I'm not eating this measly fare. I'll head to Remy's Bistro later- a place you'd never afford, but it's just a regular spot for me now."

Ann's face fell, mixed with a touch of confusion and embarrassment. She stood there, unsure of whether to sit or leave.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

Chloe's expression remained calm. She lifted her head, her gaze steady yet chillingly cold. "If you're not eating, Lisa, then leave. Don't come here acting like a diva."

Lisa chuckled mockingly and sat down anyway. "I've lived here for twenty years, and you're telling me to go? It should be you who's leaving."

"You know this is your home, too.

Have you ever come back after returning to the Meadows family? You've already turned your back on the past, and if you don't care about this place, then stay away forgood."

Lisa smirked, "Chloe, are you trying to lecture me? Even if you begged, I wouldn't come back. Only someone like you would think this place is worth anything. Yes, this was your home, so you stay here."

Ann stood quietly as Lisa's words felt like needles piercing her heart. She turned away, wiping her tears, and headed to the kitchen.

Chloe looked at Lisa coolly. She had no interest in engaging with someone like her. "Lisa, what do you want by coming here today?"

Lisa stared Chloe down, "Where's the emerald pendant? The pink one the Moncada family gave you?"

Chloe frowned, "What's that got to do with you?"

Lisa declared as if it were her right, "Chloe, you know that pendant was a gift from the Shaw family for the Meadow's family daughters. It was supposed to be mine. You've stolen my place for years, don't think you can take the pendant too."

"If you know what's good for you, hand it over."

Chloe leaned back in her chair, casually flipping her hair, her demeanor relaxed. "And what if I don't?"
