Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

She'd spent so much money and effort on her outfit and makeup. Were these people blind? What was so stunning about Chloe in that ragged outfit? But deep down, Lisa knew Chloe was indeed beautiful-so much so that it filled her with a burning jealousy.

Lisa suddenly regretted throwing a birthday party with Chloe. But she quickly adjusted her mood. 'Fine, Chloe, enjoy your little moment of glory. Because tonight, you're going to be utterly disgraced.'

As the three of them made their way down, the hall lights suddenly brightened. Guests gathered around, offering their congratulations to the two birthday girls. Lisa had invited a lot of friends. They all swarmed around her, showering her with compliments. Chloe was quickly pushed out of the central circle.Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

On the other side, Leah and Jacob were also entertaining important guests. Chloe, however, found solace away from the crowd. She moved to the buffet area, grabbed a champagne flute from a sparkling tower, and took a delicate sip. Then she picked up a piece of chocolate cake and found a cozy sofa to leisurely enjoy her cake.

Despite being surrounded by people, Lisa's gaze often drifted toward Chloe. Initially, seeing Chloe isolated and alone brought joy to Lisa. But soon, she noticed people occasionally making their way over to Chloe, either to strike up a conversation or invite her to dance. Moreover, the men approaching Chloe were all young and handsome. Although Chloe declined their invitations, men kept coming, one after another.

Lisa was fuming. She just couldn't get it. She's the real deal - the true heiress of the fancy Meadows family and decked out in gear worth millions. How could anyone think she's less than Chloe, who barely puts any effort into her look?

Lisa hatched a plan. Suddenly, she called out loudly toward Chloe, "Chloe."

Chloe heard her. She looked toward Lisa, who then flashed Chloe a radiant smile. With an air of innocence, she called out, "Chloe, could you bring me a glass of champagne?"

Chloe put down her piece of cake

and casually picked up a flute of champagne from the nearby tower before walking over. Before the party started, Leah had specifically instructed them to display sisterly affection today. If Lisa wanted to act, Chloe was willing to play along.

As Chloe approached with the champagne, she heard Lisa mocking her unabashedly to a group of people. One of Lisa's friends, wearing a mermaid dress, covered her mouth and laughed. "Look, doesn't her dress look like that discount piece you found at the duty-free shop last time?"

Lisa glanced at Chloe, her eyes filled with arrogance. "Indeed, those kinds of clothes are like street market goods to me, so I just handed it down to

her."

"To think she'd wear something you

n

discarded to such an important event without a hint of shame. Wasn't she once the daughter of the Meadows family? Doesn't she own a

single decent dress?"

"What daughter of the Meadows family? My parents disowned her long ago. She's the unwelcome one clinging to our family. She's less than a maid in our house now."

The crowd looked at Chloe with disdain.

"She just can't let go of the luxury and status of the Meadows family, utterly shameless."

Lisa's look toward Chloe was full of provocation. "It doesn't matter. Consider her a pet dog we've taken in. Look how obedient she is, doing whatever she's told."

Laughter erupted among the people surrounding Lisa. Their voices were loud, seemingly intentional, so Chloe could hear every word.
