Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Everyone was stunned.

A woman strutted through the door, decked out in glamorous attire and dripping in jewels. The moment she spotted Linda, she pointed right at her and started laying into her.

Trailing behind this woman was Tony, the station's news director. Linda froze for a second when she saw who had laid into her. It was Lucas' mother, Tara.

Linda quickly snapped out of it. She placed a hand on her belly and said, "Mrs. Moncada."

Tara glanced at Linda's slightly rounded stomach and scoffed, "Don't call me that, and don't think you can use that baby to negotiate your way into our family. I don't accept it now and won't in the future. If you want to have the child, go ahead. It's your responsibility. But if you think you can use this child to claim anything from the Moncada family, whether it's our fortune or the title of Mrs. Moncada, you're dreaming."

The office went dead silent. Everyone's eyes were wide, mouths hanging open, trying to process the bombshell Tara had just dropped. The biggest question on their minds was: Who on earth was she?

After her outburst, Tara walked over to Chloe, looking her up and down with concern. "Chloe, are you alright? Leah called me last night, and I was so angry I couldn't sleep. If I had been there, I wouldn't have let you suffer like that. The Meadows family is getting out of hand. We should've cut ties with them ages ago. If it weren't for you, I would've done it myself."

Chloe's eyes welled up, "Mom, thank you."Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

The people around them were gobsmacked. Chloe called this high-society lady 'Mom?' Just then, the editorial director rushed over, grinning as he introduced her to everyone.

"This is Mrs. Tara Moncada from Moncada International."

Everyone was even more confused. Tara, from Moncada International, Lucas' mom. Why was Chloe calling her mom? Why was Tara's attitude towards Lucas' girlfriend so hostile?

Before anyone could piece it all together, Tara turned to Tony and said, "Chloe has been like a daughter-in-law to me since she was little. She's always called me mom and grew up with my son. They were childhood sweethearts.

Unfortunately, my son was blinded by a conniving woman, and it's our family's loss. Even though Chloe isn't my daughter-in-law now, she's like my own daughter. As her

mother, I can't stand anyone plotting against her or bullying her."

Linda's face went pale with fear. Tony's expression also turned cold as he glared at Linda. Earlier today, Tara had approached the station manager, demanding to cancel the five-year contract. The station manager was furious and called Tony, instructing him to handle the situation. Losing this contract would cost Tony his job as news director.

Tony desperately pleaded, "Ma'am, can we please discuss the contract further?"
