Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

What Claire saw was Teddy, the executive secretary for the CEO of Sartori Corporation. And standing right beside him was none other than Connor. The crowd erupted in cheers, chanting, "Long live Mr. Connor!"

Connor strolled into the room, and Claire's anger flared instantly upon seeing his face. "Connor, are you here to gloat?" she snapped.

For the first time, Claire felt a sense of utter helplessness. Why? Why did she lose to Connor?

Connor spoke, his tone cool and detached. "Sis, I'm here to clean up your mess."

The smirk on Connor's lips made Claire's fury boil over. "Connor, it was you, wasn't it?"

Claire's mind was suddenly crystal clear. Teddy running off with the money, the mass resignation of the top executives, the downfall of Eldridge Entertainment-it was all orchestrated by Connor. When did he start planning this? She had no idea.

Connor stepped closer to Claire, his gaze steady and unyielding. There was no triumph, no mockery, just a deep look that held a hint of disdain and pity. That pity stung Claire. What right did he have to look at her like that?

"Yes, it was me, Sis. You've got nothing left to hold over me." He leaned in close to Claire's ear. "I'm not afraid of you anymore."

Claire glared at Connor as if he were a demon. She burst into laughter. "Connor, don't think you've won. Life is long, and as long as I draw breath, I won't let you go. Even if it means mutual destruction, I will end you."

"When you were ten, Connor, you were already pushed into the pool to drown," Connor's eyes darkened. "Did you know how much I used to like you, respect you, even... love you?"

A flash of terror crossed Claire's eyes, quickly replaced by intense loathing. don't understand why you blame your tragic past on me. was just a kid back then. What did I do wrong? Why treat me this way? You owe me an explanation, Sis. I want an answer." Content, belongs to FindNovelnoveldrama

Claire watched as Connor advanced, terror growing in her eyes. But Connor was relentless. "Sis, tell me, why? You always called me the devil's child, said I was

born for hell. Then tell me, who is the real devil?"

"No, I don't know!" Claire was suddenly thrust back into her memories. Scenes from the past replayed vividly before her eyes. The rundown shack, seven towering men, the blood-stained ropes, a young girl bound to the table, blindfolded, gagged, relentlessly violated.

Ah!!! Claire screamed. "I'll kill you, I'll kill every one of you!" In a frenzy, she screamed. Her hand brushed against something on the table. A fruit knife. She grabbed it and lunged toward Connor.

The onlookers collectively gasped. Some even screamed. But Connor was quick. He grasped Claire's wrist firmly. Connor's voice was cold, yet it resonated clearly with everyone present. "Sis, you've lost your mind!"

Instantly, everyone began to whisper. "My God, Ms. Claire's gone mad, brandishing a knife in broad daylight!" "Ms. Claire must have suffered a huge shock to go insane."

Connor spoke sharply, "Ms. Claire has been mentally unhinged from the shock. Take her to Mercy Hospital for treatment!"
