Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Why Did It Turn Out Like This?

Connor had mentioned before that the wolves attacking them weren't wild; they were bred. Back then, they thought Claire was the one raising them. But now, seeing those symbols again, Chloe felt like she was choking, unable to breathe.

How on earth did Friend's wolves end up on Paradise Island, being used to attack them? Was there some connection between Friend and Claire? No, that was impossible!

Grant took off his jacket, his expression gentle. "What have you been up to causing trouble?" Chloe looked a bit sheepish. "Friend, I'm so sorry. Daccidentally dropped your watch, and it seems broken.ÖThe watch had been on the desk. It was Grant's favorite antique piece, which he had taken off earlier because he was about to give Chloe an acupuncture session.

Chloe said, "If I remember right, this watch was a gift from your mentor." Grant just furrowed his brow slightly, then shrugged it off. "It's nothing to worry about. It's not that valuable, and you know how my mentor is. He gave it to me one day and then swindled away my year's savings the next."

Chloe chuckled, "Yeah, we even nicknamed him 'Old Grinch', always taking and never giving." Chloe stood up, I'll take the watch with me and have it fixed for you when get back Chloe had already pocketed the watch. Seeing that Chloe had taken care of it, Grant didn't say more. "Let's get started with the acupuncture."
