Chapter 159
Linda's fingers clenched tight, her nails digging into her palm to steady her nerves.
"Do you think Chloe loves you? She's still hung up on Lucas. Three years ago, she tried to kill herself over him. She's just using you now. Are you really okay being just a pawn in their love drama?
"Mr. Connor, you're the King of Eldridge. Chloe's only interested in your status. She's using you, plain and simple. Maybe she's trying to make Lucas jealous or trying to get back at him?"
Linda couldn't believe Chloe and Connor had something real going on. They barely knew each other.
Logically, Linda should be happy about Chloe and Connor being together—which meant there was less chance of Chloe and Lucas getting back together. But she was worried that, given time, their act could turn into something real. Connor would definitely be harder to deal with than Lucas. Plus, if Connor backed Chloe, things would only get tougher for her.
So, no matter what, she had to break them up.
She noticed Connor's brows furrow, his gaze icy, as if he was starting to buy into what she was saying.
Seizing the moment, Linda pressed on, “Mr. Connor, with your status, you wouldn't want to be just some woman's plaything, right?"
Linda's words were sharp, meant to cut deep and split them apart.
Connor's eyes narrowed, and he stared at Linda with a cold laugh, his tone even frostier. "Your attempts at stirring trouble are quite pathetic."
"Let me tell you something: Chloe and I have been together for three years. She kept me as her trophy boy from the start, and I'm perfectly happy being with her as her plaything. I dedicate myself to making her smile, and nothing else matters to me."
Then, Connor turned and walked away. He had no interest in continuing this argument with Linda.
Linda's face turned ashen. What did
Connor mean by that? They'd been together for three years? How was Chloe having Connor as a trophy boy? The words made sense individually, but coming from
Connor's mouth, they sounded like a fairy tale.
How could this be?
But then Linda pieced it together. Three years ago, Lucas took Linda abroad, and it pushed Chloe over the edge, in her despair, did she find a man? Did that man turn out to be Mr Connor?
What was this trophy boy thing about? But based on Connor's expression, he didn't seem to be lying.
For Linda, this was a huge blow. She
had finally managed to separate Lucas and Chloe, and now there was the King of Eldridge. If Connor truly sided with Chloe, how could she ruin Chloe's reputation, bring her down, and leave her with nothing?
No! She had to break them up. She had to destroy Chloe.
Watching Connor walk away, she suddenly ran after him. Before he could get into his car, she shouted at his retreating back, "Then you should know Chloe isn't a virgin."
"She's already lost her innocence. She's tainted."
Connor, about to get into his car, suddenly turned back. He stood before Linda, his aura as cold as ice. His expression was grim, like a brewing storm. Seeing him like this, Linda felt a twisted sense of triumph. No man could withstand such provocation, right?
