novelxo Chapter 372
Almost everyone had gathered.
Kalilah and Diana had swapped their regular clothes for suits and riding boots, cutting quite the dashing figures. After breakfast, Kalilah shook off her earlier slump and approached Diana with a hopeful smile. "Diana, want to go pick out horses together?"
Diana seemed to sidestep the invitation. "You go ahead; I'm waiting for Faith and Chloe."
Kalilah could feel it-everyone seemed to be giving her the cold shoulder. Even Diana, her closest friend, was distant now, all because of Chloe.
She spotted Lovebot focusing on the guys, and seized the moment to stir the pot. "Diana, you treat Chloe like a sister, but she's been stabbing you in the back. Did you know that?"
Diana frowned. "It's not like that. Chloe's been... alright to me."
Diana could still see right from wrong. Yes, she was a bit jealous that Connor liked Chloe, but Chloe had never hurt her. She wouldn't blame Chloe just because Connor turned her down.
Kalilah pressed on. "Alright? She knows you like Connor, yet she keeps flirting with him, messing up your relationship. Don't be fooled by her two-faced act."
Diana shook her head. "Chloe's not like that."
She knew Connor and Chloe had dated, but they had broken up. Recently, Chloe had been frosty towards Connor, who clearly hadn't moved on and kept hanging around Chloe, much to her annoyance.

"I have proof," Kalilah said, pulling out a smartphone. On it was a video of Chloe and Connor passionately kissing on a balcony, recorded just last night, right outside Chloe's room. They were all over each other in the clip, with Chloe responding enthusiastically, even seductively.
Diana stared, unable to believe what she was seeing. This side of Connor and Chloe was foreign to her. Connor was usually so cold and detached, and the man in the video was someone else entirely.
"See? Chloe's playing you. She acts
all aloof in front of everyone, pretending she's above Connor, but behind your back, she's been undermining you. Diana, you're too naive, completely duped by Chloe."
Diana trembled. How could this be? She checked the timestamp on the video-it was just five minutes after she had poured her heart out to Connor. While she was heartbroken, they were making out on the balcony. If they were so inte
other, why did Connor go drinking at
the bar and even...
Diana felt a crushing weight in her chest. She snatched the phone from Kalilah and dashed towards the men's changing room, where Connor, Pax, and Juztin had just come out.
Her cheeks burning with fury, Diana didn't say a word. She thrust the phone in front of Connor, playing the video for all to see.
