Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

As Diana's tears grew heavier, Kalilah seized the moment to stir the pot. "Connor, seriously? First day on the island and he's already got wandering eyes? Who's he into, Faith or Chloe?"

"You always said Connor's been your protector since you were twelve. How can your feelings be this brittle? The live stream audience must be losing it, probably saying you're trying too hard and not measuring up. Diana, I really feel for you.

"Don't be too down. Sure, tonight was embarrassing. We didn't know each other before, so not pairing up isn't a big deal. But you and Connor came on the same helicopter..."

"Kalilah, can you just shut up already!" Chloe couldn't hold back any longer.

Kalilah shot her a provocative look. "Chloe, I'm comforting Diana. Why does that bother you?"

"Comforting? More like reveling in her misery."

Kalilah crossed her arms and stepped closer to Chloe. "Oh, Chloe, don't play the hero here. What I'm saying is true. How is that reveling in her misery? Diana and I are friends. I'm genuinely cheering her up."

Chloe sat up, scoffing. "Oh really? If you and Diana are such good friends, then tell me, who did you vote for?"

"I... I... Why do you care who I voted for?"

"You voted for Connor. You pretend to be Diana's sister, but you're trying to steal her guy behind her back."

Kalilah's face fell. "Chloe, stop lying. How would you know I voted for Connor?"

Chloe replied, "You forget, I was the last one in. I saw everything."

"You're lying. How could you have seen?"

"Forgot to mention, there's a hole under that metal box. You can take the cards out from there."

Kalilah panicked completely. Chloe's confidence from the start made it clear she couldn't bluff her way out.

"So what if you saw? Yes, I voted for Connor. This is a dating show, after all. The rules allow us to interact with different guys. Voting for Connor is my choice. Is that a crime?"

Diana was stunned. She looked up at Kalilah in disbelief, realizing the

friend who comforted her and

claimed to support her had such

thoughts behind her back.

Chloe turned to Diana, "Remember her face, and be more careful in the future. Don't befriend people like her."NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Kalilah broke down. "Chloe, what's so great about you? Then tell me, who did you vote for? Surely not Connor?"

Chloe said, "Whoever I voted for, it wouldn't be him!"

Kalilah laughed mockingly, "Oh, really? Since you claim to have seen everyone's vote, tell me, how did the others vote? I'd love to see who's more noble!"

Chloe suddenly smiled, lounging on the bed like a cat that just woke up, her voice lazy and slow. "Sorry, lied. The show would never let the guests see the votes."

Kalilah was stunned for a second, then exploded in rage. "Chloe, you played me!"

Chloe said calmly, "You're just too naive."

Kalilah was livid, her finger trembling as she pointed at Chloe. "Don't act so smug, Chloe. Crossing me won't end well for you."
