NovelOnlineChapter 117 Lisa had a sneaking suspicion that Connor seemed to be siding with Chloe. Was there something more between Chloe and Connor? It suddenly clicked. Chloe had done an exclusive interview with Connor a while back. Maybe that's when they met. But Lisa figured they were just friends. After all, Chloe was already married.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLisa wasn't worried one bit. She'd already checked with the manager at Cloud Top and knew there were no surveillance cameras around. No one saw what happened, so she was sure there was no evidence left behind.
With that assurance, Lisa didn't mind tarnishing Chloe's reputation further. She spoke up, "Mr. Connor, you might not know this, but my sister and Linda have a personal grudge. She pushed Linda because she wanted to harm the baby Linda is carrying." Connor's face turned icy. His voice was cold and detached, "From what I know of Chloe, she has no reason to do such a thing." Whispers started spreading among the onlookers. It was clear that Connor knew Chloe and seemed to be taking her side. Lisa noticed this, too. What exactly did he know about Chloe? Casting a glance at Chloe, Lisa scoffed, "What Mr. Connor doesn't know is that my sister had every reason to act that way. She's in love with Lucas, who loves Linda. Linda is carrying Lucas' child. Jealousy drove my sister to act out against Linda." The crowd seemed to have an "aha" moment. So, the rumors were true. All eyes turned to Mr. Lucas, the heir to Moncada International. He's quite handsand distinguished. No wonder Chloe was head over heels, going to such lengths. If Chloe really was the daughter of the Meadows family, they would be a perfect match. But she was just a fake heiress from a shady background. How could she match up now? Connor asked, "So you're saying Chloe acted out of envy for Mr. Lucas?" Lisa couldn't reveal that Chloe was actually Lucas' wife and Linda the other woman. However, Chloe, with her pride, wouldn't spill such embarrassing details herself.
Lisa seized this opportunity, brazenly fabricating, "Of course, my sister always coveted Lucas. Lucas and Linda's mutual affection drove her crazy, and she was desperate to be the other woman." At this point, Lisa didn't care about the Meadows family's reputation. She was determined to smear Chloe in front of Mr. Connor.
Connor suddenly laughed, "That makes even less sense. How could my girlfriend possibly want to be with another man?" His words brought the room to a standstill. What did Mr. Connor mean by that? Even Lisa was baffled, "Chloe is your girlfriend? That's impossible!"
