NovelOnlineChapter 198 Chloe caught his eye.
His gaze turned icy in an instant, and the air around him becchillingly tense. No one nearby dared to make a sound.
Meanwhile, the scene on Chloe's side was a whole different story.
Cassie was completely flummoxed. She knew these high-society ladies too. To her, they were all a bit nuts. They forever gossiped, talked about everyone's business, and smiled to your face but stabbed you in the back. Normally, she couldn't care less about their gossip.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was until they claimed her best friend Chloe was Connor's girlfriend.
That was utterly ridiculous.
However, when she glanced at Chloe, she sensed something was off.
Chloe seemed way too calm. She was holding a glass of wine, one arm draped over the wooden railing, a slight smile on her lips, radiating an effortless cool. She looked like a fairy who'd wandered into the wrong world.
Cassie knew Chloe too well. That smile was trouble. The more enchanting and mesmerizing her smile, the bigger the problem. Especially when the beauty mark near Chloe's eye lifted just a bit it meant she was seriously losing her patience.
Could Chloe really be involved with Connor? On the other side, Eve was hell-bent on causing a scene tonight. She shouted towards Chloe.
"Hey, Chloe, Connor's over here. Cjoin us!" Chloe smiled. She straightened up, walking across the bridge over the artificial pond, heading towards the crowd. In just a few minutes, she was standing in front of Eve.
Chloe was quite tall, about 5'7", and her heels made her even taller. Just by standing there, she was already towering over Eve.
"It's been a while, Ms. Eve. Your voice still has that piercing quality. You even scared the birds out of the trees just now." Eve frowned, "There aren't any birds out at this hour." The ladies around them covered their mouths, giggling. "Eve, she's saying you're being too loud." Eve's face turned red with anger. 'So, you're the epitof elegance, huh?' Eve was agitated by the comments. However, Eve's main target tonight wasn't Chloe. She turned to Connor, forcing a smile. "Connor, wouldn't you like to introduce her to everyone?" Suddenly, all eyes were on Connor.
Eve clearly had sulterior motives.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCould it be as Eve suggested? Was this stunning woman actually Connor's girlfriend in Riverbrook? Everyone had thought Connor was living abroad. It wasn't until the Sartori family matriarch's birthday that they found out Connor had spent the last three years in a small town called Riverbrook.
Chloe's eye's also locked onto Connor's. She didn't say a word and just stared at him, smiling. She too, to see how Connor would her.
Connor looked at Chloe, his gaze colder than ever. After@long pause, he finally spoke, "I don't know her."
Chloe felt a sharp pain in her chest as if her heart had been squeezed, Bût her smile didn't fade. It only deepened. Eve, on the other hand, panicked.
"Connor, you told my brother and everyone else that she was your girlfriend. Now you're saying yo
don't know her? You're lying. What, are you afraid you can't tell the truth because Diana will get jealous?" "Eve!" Connor's voice was cold as ice, with a hint of anger simmering beneath the surface.
