Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Claire smiled softly, reaching out to gently touch Barrett's cheek. "People say actors are cold-hearted, but here you are, the kindest of all. You remind me so much of him."

Barrett felt a twinge in his heart. "It's an honor to resemble someone dear to Ms. Claire."

"You're still young. Live your life to the fullest," Claire advised. "When you get out, just tell everyone I forced you into it. At worst, you'll do a few years in prison. I've got some assets stashed away in a Swiss bank, and the key's in the safe at Clearwater Villa. Consider it my way of saying thank you."

Barrett shook his head decisively. "Ms. Claire, I don't want anything but to stay with you."

Just then, a helicopter landed nearby. They assumed it was the Shaw family's men. But to their surprise, the leader of a mercenary group stepped out. "Come on, hop in. The bosses sent me to get you out."

Both Claire and Barrett were shocked. Who were these bosses? Claire had no idea. She only knew that a mysterious ally had been helping her all along. Now, this person had managed to locate them despite the tight security.

Barrett was thrilled. "Ms. Claire, we don't have to die."

Claire, equally stunned, said, "Let's get on board first."

Connor wasn't dead, and Claire wasn't ready to give up. She wouldn't just sit back and accept her fate. As long as she was alive, there was hope. Next time, they might not be this lucky.

Claire climbed into the helicopter, and soon they disappeared into the sky above the forest.noveldrama

Meanwhile, on the other side, a few helicopters quickly landed around Chloe and Connor. The four Shaw brothers rushed out, racing to their sides. Seeing Chloe and Connor in such dire straits brought tears to their eyes.

Chloe, drawn to her limits, felt her body and wrists ache, compounded by the shock of Connor's supposed death. Her nerves snapped like tight wires Her vision blurred, but she saw Kash rushing toward her With great effort, she called out, "Big brother..."

Then everything went dark as she fainted.

When she came to, Chloe felt dizzy and out of sorts. The room buzzed with noise.

She heard multiple voices.

"Doc, why hasn't my sister woken up yet? Are you even qualified for this?"

"Isaac, Ms. Chloe is just asleep."

"Try not eating or drinking for two days and see how you feel. I think you're not doing a good job. I want her moved to another hospital."

"Isaac, don't complicate things. Our sister's just exhausted. Let her sleep as long as she needs," Winston interjected.

Wayne added, "Yeah, with her being

pregnant and everything, she's

naturally more tired. After all that's

happened, her body was stretched

to its limits. It's a miracle the baby's okay."

Isaac was silent for a moment. "But she's lying there, not eating, losing so much weight. And that arm injury was so deep, almost to the bone, she lost a lot of blood. Maybe she fainted from blood loss."

Isaac suddenly suggested to the doctor, "Why not give my sister a transfusion?

We have the same blood type. Take as much as she needs from me."

Wayne chimed in, "As if any of us doesn't share her blood type."

Wayne continued, "I can donate 600cc to our sister."
