Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Justin was closest to the screen. He glanced at the video, and his eyes went wide as saucers, his mouth hanging open.

Pax stood just behind Justin, equally curious.

But then, something clicked in Justin's mind. He spun around and covered Pax's eyes. "Not for kids, Pax. Seriously, not for kids."

Pax was still trying to process what was happening when Justin dragged him away, his eyes still covered.

Even Lovebot, the nosy little gadget, hovered closer behind Connor, but it was flying too low, and Justin snatched it away in one swift move.

In the chatroom:

[What's the deal, how did Diana get a phone?]

[What could be so secret that we can't see?]

[I'm dying here, who wants to watch boring stuff? Bring on the NSFW!]

[Justin, it's fine if Pax can't see, but why take away the camera?]

[I'm gonna lose sleep over this, my curiosity is killing me!]

Now, only Diana and Connor were left at the changing room entrance.

Tears glimmered in Diana's eyes, her chest rising and falling with emotion. "Uncle Connor..."

She had intended to confront him. She wanted to ask why he could kiss Chloe so passionately less than five minutes after she had poured her heart out to him and failed. She also wanted to know if he and Chloe were making a fool of her. And more than anything, she wanted to ask why he treated her the way he did last night when he was drunk if he and Chloe were already back together.

But she couldn't find the right words.

All that came out was a pitiful "Uncle Connor."

Connor was also taken aback by the video on the phone. He took it without hesitation.

"Where did you get the phone?" he asked, his tone nonchalant.

"Kalilah gave it to me," Diana answered honestly.

Connor frowned. He hadn't expected that even a brief moment on the balcony with Chloe last night had been caught on camera. Could it the production team? Connor doubted it; Ruben wouldn't dare. Given that Barrett was someone Claire had planted in the production team, it was possible that she had undercover agents on this island too. Connor's frown deepened, but his eyes stayed glued to the screen.

When he saw Chloe's mischievous smile as she leaned in to kiss him back, his expression softened. A smile even tugged at his lips.

was captivated. Watching Chloet

face, seeing the blush on her ears like blooming peach blossoms, lifted his spirits. He pocketed the phone. "I'll keep this as a souvenir."

Diana was stunned. She hadn't expected Connor to react like this. He didn't seem to want to explain anything. In fact, after watching the video, he seemed... rather pleased. It was like someone had poured ice water over her head. Uncle Connor didn't care about her feelings at all. In that instant, she felt like nothing more than a pet Uncle Connor had kept for years. Diana turned and ran, bumping into Faith and Chloe, who had just arrived at the stables.

Faith grabbed Diana. "Hey, what's wrong? Why are your eyes so red?"

Diana shot a look at Chloe, her eyes flashing with resentment for the first time. Then she shook off Faith's hand and bolted.

Faith looked bewildered. "What's up with her?"

Chloe watched Diana's retreating figure, lost in thought.

Soon, everyone was picking out their favorite horses from the stable.

Diana chose a black thoroughbred.

Pax picked a gray Arabian horse.
