Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover
Chapter 197

Chapter 197



A hush fell over the crowd momentarily after a bold statement was made. It wasn't long before someone pointed an accusing finger at Eve. "Eve, what are you talking about? Diana has been nurtured and cherished by Connor since she was young. All these years, Connor hasn't been linked to any scandals. How could he possibly have a girlfriend?"

"Exactly! Connor doesn't like you, so you resort to spreading rumors? If you upset Connor, you can't bear that responsibility."

"Eve, Connor is just over there. Would you say that to his face?"

Eve only found it amusing. Weren't these people just sucking up to Diana to stay in Connor's good books?

But she couldn't clear things up now. After all, she had spent so much time in Riverbrook, and she was well aware that Connor had been involved with that bitch called Chloe. Her image was even displayed on CNR Tower's giant screens every day. Eve regretted not taking a photo or recording a video at the time.

As everyone pressed Eve for answers, a dramatic moment unfolded. Backed into a corner by the crowd, Eve turned her head and saw a stunningly familiar face. For a moment, she thought she was lightheaded from the confrontation, hallucinating. Rubbing her eyes, she realized that wasn't the

case.

Had this been before, she would have loathed to see that face and even be tempted to mar it. But now, she was overjoyed. It seemed a spectacle was guaranteed tonight.

Eve's expression suddenly turned smug, her smile clearly mischievous. "Connor's girlfriend is also here tonight."

The crowd burst into laughter. "Eve, don't tell me you're going to say that you're Connor's girlfriend."

Eve snorted, her slender finger pointing across the space. "She's right over there."

Everyone followed the direction of

Eve's pointing finger. And there, across a man-made lake, separated by a misty water veil from a faux waterfall, they saw a face of devastating beauty. The woman Eve pointed at was breathtakingly gorgeous, creating a psychological distance with her sheer beauty.

Her features were flawless, her naturally wavy hair cascaded over her shoulders, embodying grace with every movement. Clad in a casual sky-blue dress with a sheer shawl draped over her shoulders, her simple elegance made her beauty even more striking. The evening breeze teased her hair and the hem of her dress. She was casually holding a glass of wine, standing there as if she was glowing.

Many were mesmerized, silently admiring. Diana also saw her, her expression filled with surprise and disbelief.

Eve was very pleased with the reaction of the crowd. The beauty of that woman could indeed devastate everyone. Eve couldn't be the only one affected.

Connor's expression darkened instantly. "Eve, what are you talking about?"

"Chloe is right over there. Last time, in front of my brothers, you said she was your girlfriend. That wasn't a lie, was it?" Eve deliberately raised her voice.

Regardless of Connor's response now, one of them was bound to be cornered. Connor turned his gaze toward the man-made lake.
