Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover
Chapter 698

Chloe didn't want to spoil the vibe: "Sure, catching the sunrise sounds great before the shareholders' meeting. It'll save us from running back and forth."

Not long after, Teddy showed up. They had plans to watch the sunrise, and he was the busiest of them all. He hauled over tents, inflatable mattresses, and blankets. They even had beach chairs, cozy wool blankets, and a camping table. They really went all out with the setup. It took four of them three trips to get everything. An hour later, the rooftop was like a whole new world. Chloe was blown away. She thought it was just about watching the sunrise, but this was something else. There was a one-bedroom inflatable tent, fully equipped with everything they might need, even a heater. Outside, colorful flags and strings of lights gave it a magical touch.

Teddy even set up a grill with all sorts of ingredients ready to go. They had a tea set, with a pot of top-notch Da Hong Pao tea already brewing, filling the air with its rich aroma. Soon, Chloe was snuggled into a soft sofa, sipping tea, munching on seeds and cupcakes, while grilling some air-flown Japanese Wagyu and Argentine shrimp.

Wrapped in a down jacket, Chloe took a sip of her hot tea, feeling the warmth spreading through her. She let out a long, contented sigh: "Capitalists really know how to live it up."

Connor poured her another cup: "Of course, we can't have my lady feeling neglected."

Chloe chuckled. She had agreed to watch the sunrise with Connor, thinking he was probably stressed about tomorrow's election. But now, it seemed he was just soaking in the moment. Chloe smiled, and they sipped tea, chatting away.

"Did you see it coming?" she asked.

"See what coming?"

"That Diana would try to set you up?"

Connor's brow creased slightly as he took a sip, then sighed, reflecting on Diana's actions: "I had a hunch, but I hoped she wouldn't go through with it."

In the end, Diana did make that move. Chloe was impressed by Connor's foresight. He seemed to have everything figured out.

"Weren't you worried Diana might actually jump?"

Connor's gaze wandered into the distance: "She wouldn't jump."

"How do you know?"

Connor was quiet for a moment before speaking: "The view here is too beautiful, too lively. Just one

and you're even more attached to this world."

Connor had stood on that rooftop many times as a kid. But for some reason, the longer he stayed, the less he wanted to leap. Connor took another sip of tea, deciding not to delve into his past with Chloe

QUMS

He turned back to her, finally addressing her question: "There's a safety net thirty meters below."

Chloe was taken aback: "Why was a safety net put there?"

Connor explained: "Over a decade ago, Marian had a dream about someone jumping from this rooftop, so she had a safety net installed."

He wasn't making it up. Eighteen

years ago, Marian had found him up

there several times. After her dream, he had jumped, prompting her to have Jeffery spend a fortune installing that net. So, even if Diana had jumped, she wouldn't have died.

"Knowing Diana couldn't really end it, why did you come?"

Connor replied: "To lay everything bare, so we don't have to keep up appearances anymore."

"Losing Diana, you might lose the Gilbert family's backing. For me, is it worth it?"
