Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

After Diana signed the document, Chloe kept her promise and deleted the video on the spot. She tucked the file into her bag, then said, "Remember this lesson: what goes around comes around," before heading out. As she left, Diana's angry curses echoed behind her, but Chloe just shook her head with a smirk.

When Chloe got back to the conference room, Connor's shareholders' meeting had just wrapped up. The bigwigs filed out, leaving Connor alone in the seat that once belonged to Ms. Claire. Seeing Connor looking so relaxed and genuinely happy, Chloe couldn't help but grin. "How's it feel sitting in the big chair?" she teased.

Connor looked up and smiled at her, standing up naturally. "Come over here," he said.

Chloe sauntered over, and Connor pulled her close, gently guiding her into the seat. "Why don't you take it for a spin and find out?"

Not one to be shy, Chloe settled in and spun the chair around, her fingers drumming the armrest without a care in the world. "In the old days, this would be like inheriting a throne," she mused. "Today, I got a front-row seat to a royal showdown." Feigning a scowl, Chloe added, "Why didn't you clue me in on your plan? I was worried sick about you!"

Connor chuckled, wrapping his arms around her from behind and planting a kiss on her cheek. "I wasn't entirely sure it would work myself. I didn't want you to get your hopes up too high," he said, apologizing. "Sorry for making you worry."

Chloe wasn't really mad, just burning with curiosity. "What did you say to those old guys to make them flip after just a piece of cake?"

Then she remembered something. "What were those numbers under the plates all about?"

Connor grinned. "Those numbers held secrets that none of them would want to come out."

Chloe thought back. "Diego's number was 2020829. What's that mean?"

Connor smiled, "It's a birthdate: August 29, 2020."

Doing the math, Chloe quickly realized the child would be just five years old. "Wait, is that Diego's` secret grandson?"

Connor nodded, "Yep, his only grandson."

Chloe frowned, puzzled. "How's his grandson a weak spot? Did you do something crazy like kidnapping him?" Connor laughed, "What are you thinking?"

"It's because the child was actually born to his daughter-in-law. The grandson he dotes on is really his youngest son. His eldest son has no idea, and the whole family is

blissfully unaware."

Chloe's jaw dropped. "Wow, talk about a family bombshell!"

Chloe was buzzing with excitement. "And what about Liangdong Lee's 079246?"

Connor kept his cool, answering like a teacher. "That's the code to his safe." "What's he hiding in there?"

"It's his most secret stash, full of evidence tying him to illegal stuff and bribes. He's running a few shady businesses on the side. If it all came out he could be looking at a decade behind bars."

Chloe was blown away. "He seems so meek and gentle. Who knew he was up to all this shady business?"

Still on a roll, Chloe asked, "And what's the deal with that bald guy's 0009?"
