Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chapter 105

Linda gently took Lucas' arm, her voice soft and a bit hesitant as she called out, "Luca..."

Finally, Lucas' gaze shifted away from Chloe. He looked down at Linda, his tone clearly annoyed. "Since when did you and Lisa become friends?"

Linda knew Lucas disliked Chloe, but he really couldn't stand Lisa. It was just pure, unfiltered dislike.

Quickly, Linda tried to explain, "Luca, I actually came today because there's something really important." She turned towards Lisa.

Lisa chimed in, "That's right, Lucas. Today's a big day. Linda and I hit it off instantly like we were meant to be friends. So, I've decided to ask my mom to take Linda as her goddaughter."From NôvelDrama.Org.

This was something Lisa had brought up to Leah the night before. However, Lisa had only mentioned that she had a friend in a tough situation who she wanted her mom to take in as a goddaughter. She hadn't revealed that this friend was Linda.

After much persuading, Leah finally agreed.

When Chloe heard the news, her face darkened completely. Lisa really knew how to get under her skin.

The things Linda had done in the past were well-known to both the Meadows and the Moncadas. Chloe remembered how the Meadows family had betrayed and abandoned her, something they deeply despised.

Chloe knew Leah held a grudge against her, but it was from past grievances. Leah wasn't someone to judge unfairly. On the contrary, Leah had always been incredibly loving and nurturing towards Chloe, meticulously taking care of her without relying on nannies.

Chloe had grown up very happy and held a deep affection for Leah. This was why she found it so hard to accept reality back then. The Leah of today was vastly different. She

remained gentle and under

towards others, but with Chloe, she turned harsh and overly critical.

Yet, deep down, Chloe still held onto a sliver of hope. The woman who had raised her for twenty years was still her mother. Leah's hatred and disgust must stem from loving too deeply in the past. In her heart, there had to be love for Chloe...

However, if there was any affection left for Chloe, even the slightest bit, Leah would never accept Linda as her goddaughter.

Lucas was also taken aback.

Because of Linda's involvement, Antonio, Tara, and Joshua saw Linda as an evil mistress. Even though Linda carried the blood the Moncada family, they'd rather forsake their own descendant than acknowledge her as a family member.

How could the Meadows family

possibly accept Linda as a

goddaughter? After all, Chloe had

e

been the daughter for twenty years.

It was impossible for them to

e

disregard her feelings entirely. If that were the case, it would be too cruel to Chloe.

Lucas couldn't help but focus on Chloe. Suddenly, he realized he was genuinely worried about her. He even felt pity for her... From Linda's perspective, this was definitely a good thing.

At that moment, Lisa suddenly stepped onto the stage of the banquet hall. She took the microphone from the master of ceremonies.

"Ladies and gentlemen, may I have your attention, please," she began, "I'm Lisa, and I'm so grateful to all of you for coming to my banquet today. I want to take this opportunity to make a very important announcement..."

The banquet hall, filled with over a hundred guests, suddenly quieted down. Everyone turned their attention towards the stage. Lisa, the Meadows family's real daughter, was now speaking.

She then pulled a girl in a white dress to the center of the stage.
