Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

There wasn't much of a reaction on his face. He introduced her to Chloe with a casual, "Chloe, meet my sister, Taylor."

Chloe had heard he had a sister living abroad. Seeing her today, she was struck by Taylor's natural beauty and the confident vibe she carried.

Taylor warmly extended a greeting, "Chloe, my boyfriend's mentioned you before. Meeting you in person, I have to say, your reputation for beauty is well-deserved. You're even more stunning than your photos!" Chloe was a bit taken aback, "Boyfriend?"

Grant's mood shifted instantly, "What boyfriend? You're only nineteen. What are you doing dating?"

Taylor shot back, unimpressed, "I'm nineteen. I can make my own choices."

Ignoring Grant, Taylor turned to Chloe with an easygoing smile, "My boyfriend's coming over soon, Chloe. Don't be too shocked."

Grant's voice turned icy, "If he shows up today, I'll break his legs."

"Brother, if you do that, I'll never speak to you again," Taylor warned.

Grant's face clouded over, genuinely upset. Chloe could see he was really mad. But from another perspective, who wouldn't be upset if the rose they'd cared for was suddenly snatched away?

Sensing the tension rising, Chloe jumped in, "Hey Jade, didn't you have something to discuss with our friend here?"

Edgar caught on quickly. Chloe was throwing him a lifeline and giving him a chance. Somewhat awkwardly, Edgar said, "Boss, I need a word. Can we step aside for a moment?"

Grant, eager to avoid further conflict with Taylor, took the opportunity, "Let's head to the balcony."

Once they left, Taylor clung to

BUT

Chloe's arm with a friendly warmth, "Chloe, you have to help me talk to my brother. He doesn't listen to anyone but you. You have no idea how much weight your words carry with him."

Chloe had never really considered her influence on Grant, though she knew he always had her back.

She began, "Miss Li-"

"Just call me Taylor."

The name Taylor rang a bell for Chloe, sparking a strange familiarity. But she pressed on, "Taylor, being a few years older, I see where your brother's coming from. At nineteen, it's easy to make rash decisions. There are a lot of people with bad intentions out there..."

Suddenly, Taylor pointed excitedly, "There he is, my boyfriend!"

Chloe turned to look and was stunned. It was Isaac.

Taylor's boyfriend was Isaac?

Isaac wasn't far off and had caught bits of their chat. "What are you two talking about? Bad intentions?"

Taylor chuckled, "Chloe was warning me to be careful about dating. She says there are too many guys with bad intentions."

She playfully raised an eyebrow at

Isaac, teasing him. Isaac grinned "Chloe's got a point. Apart from me, every other guy out there is trouble."

BUMS

"Ha! Shameless! I'm telling my brother you said that about him," Taylor retorted with a laugh.
