Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover -
Chapter 752
Amidst all the fancy banquet halls, some even fancier than the Dove of Peace, you gotta wonder why Diana picked this one. Was there something else going on behind the scenes? It wasn't just paranoia; years under Claire's thumb had fine-tuned his instincts. If it were
the old Diana, he wouldn't have even considered it. But now, the truth was crystal clear.
Diana had switched sides to Claire.
That betrayal hit him like a punch to the gut, leaving him both boiling with anger and chilled with disappointment. He never thought Diana would go down this road, all in the name of revenge.
Yet Diana seemed deaf to Connor's words. She lifted her dress slightly, showing off her prosthetic leg. "Uncle Connor, what do you think? Does my new leg look nice?"
Connor's eyes settled on the artificial limb.
Diana went on, "The best place in the world made this just for me. At first, it felt like I had my leg back. But as time goes on, the amputation site still hurts."
"Diana, I don't want to hear about this," he cut in.
Diana lowered her head, hiding the sadness in her eyes. When she looked up again, only sarcasm and bitterness were left. "Yeah, you couldn't care less that I lost a leg. You only care about whether your sweetheart has been hurt." "Uncle Connor," she said, "the debt you owe me will have to be paid back someday."
"Diana, you've let me down so much. Your current situation is your own doing. You're blind to what's good for you, can't tell right from wrong. You lived in your own bubble, like a hothouse flower, and now you just drown in self-pity and loathe the world. Diana, for old times' sake, let me warn you, making deals with the devil never ends well. Teaming up with Claire, thinking it'll end well, is just foolish. To her, you're just a pawn, easily discarded or destroyed. Why throw your life away like this?"
Diana let out a bitter laugh.
"Because you already wrecked my life."
"Now that you know, I won't hide it. Yeah, I'm with Claire now, and I'm ready to be used by her. Do you know what I've asked for in return?"
Her laughter grew louder.
"I want you to lose everything, including Chloe's leg."
Connor had his own people close to
Claire, so Diana's plan wasn't news to him. But hearing it straight from Diana still sent a shiver down his spine.

"Diana, I've warned you, if you touch even a hair on my wife's head, I might just kill you." Diana was truly shaken.
In all these years, she'd never heard Connor speak so seriously. joking one bit.

In that instant, she felt like something was choking her, cutting off her air.
"You tell me not to touch Chloe, but
that's exactly what I'm gonna do

Let's see what you'll do about it Diana shot back, her voice icy.
Connor felt a wave of dread as he instinctively spun around, scanning the crowd for Chloe.
Soon enough, he spotted her.
She wasn't dancing with Grant but stood alone by a champagne tower, sneaking a drink. Unfortunately, right above her, a massive chandelier hung.
And just then, it started to fall... right down.
Without missing a beat, Connor sprinted towards Chloe.
