Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

That night, Chloe couldn't sleep a wink. Sleep eluded her even after tossing and turning in bed until she was completely spent. She got up and sat on the balcony's wicker chair, watching the night melt into dawn.

She was stuck on a decision, wrestling with her thoughts. After all these years, despite all the wrongs Linda had done to her, Chloe had never wished her dead. She had once pulled Linda out of a dark place. 'But now, Linda, I'm going to send you back to that hell. Because that's where you truly belong.' Chloe vowed in silence.

As the first light of dawn appeared, Chloe picked up her phone and dialed a number. "Aunt Shannon? Did you know Linda is back in the country?"

By eight in the morning, the television station was bustling with people. Chloe's car was parked nearby. After a while, she noticed a stooped woman loitering at the entrance-Linda's mother, Shannon. Shannon looked like a beggar, with her tattered clothes and messy hair. But her sharp eyes gleamed with a certain greedy light as she watched people entering the station.

Finally, Linda appeared. Shannon grabbed her by the arm. "Linda, it really is you! You ungrateful girl. You're back in the country and didn't even bother to tell me."

At first, Linda didn't recognize Shannon. But once she saw those familiar eyes, panic washed over her. "Mom, what are you doing here?"

Suddenly, Shannon yanked Linda's hair and started hitting her. Despite her beggarly appearance, Shannon had surprising strength. She held onto Linda's hair tightly, causing a scene. "Everyone, this is my ungrateful daughter! I worked hard to raise her, sent her to college, and now she's living the high life with her boyfriend, not caring about her sick father lying bedridden. She's heartless."All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

People gathered around, drawn to the commotion. Some recognized Linda and quickly intervened, pulling the two apart. Shannon, however, threw herself on the ground, wailing dramatically. "My life is so hard after raising an ungrateful bastard like her. She can't even care for her own parents. Oh Lord, I was in labor with her for three days and nights. If I'd known it would come to this, I'd have drowned her in a bucket."

Linda collapsed on the ground,

trembling. Her fear of Shannon was bone-deep; she couldn't say a word. Her eyes filled with terror, also held a deep-seated hatred. Onlookers watched, their mix of sympathy and disdain cutting into Linda like a knife.

Linda screamed hysterically, "I don't know her! She's just a crazy woman. I don't know her at all."

Chloe watched the chaos from her

car, cool and composed. Witnessing Linda's breakdown, she slipped on her sunglasses and drove away without a second glance.

A couple of hours later, Chloe's phone rang. It was Lucas. "Chloe, get to the hospital now!"

"What?" Chloe asked, her tone icy.

"Linda's in critical condition. If our baby doesn't make it, I'll never forgive you."

After hanging up, Chloe felt a wave of irritation. She had only informed Shannon about Linda to give her a taste of her own medicine. She never intended for Linda to lose the the

Eventually, Chloe drove to the hospital. By the time she arrived, Linda had been moved from the emergency room to a high-end VIP ward.
