Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chloe turned to face Grant, curiosity and suspicion in her eyes.

"Why exactly did you bring me here, and how are you tied to the Grevenberg family?" she asked, her voice steady but laced with intrigue.

Grant's expression darkened, his voice carrying an eerie chill as he replied, "Ever hear about the infamous high society massacre in Eldridge City from fifty years ago?"

Chloe shook her head, unfamiliar with the tale.

"Of course not," Grant continued, his words echoing as if from another era. "It's been fifty years-time's changed everything, and who still remembers the innocent souls lost back then?"

"Back then, it wasn't the Sartori family in the spotlight," Grant explained. "It was the Shaw, Gilbert, Nagel, and Grevenberg families. Each had their own empire. The Shaws were into trade, the Gilberts ran banks, the Nagels controlled the oil and grain markets, and the Grevenbergs dominated international trade with their fleet of ships."

Chloe listened, captivated, as Grant painted a picture of a bygone era where these families ruled the wealth of the Eldridge Elites.

"What happened after?" Chloe prompted, sensing a link between the rise of the Sartoris and the fall of the Grevenbergs.

"Out of the blue, the Grevenberg family was wiped out overnight," Grant revealed. "The authorities never cracked the case. But after they were gone, the Sartori family shot to the top, with Jeffery building his fortune on shipping and trade. Within a few years, he was the leading figure among the families."

The pieces began to fall into place for Chloe. "So, you think Jeffery wiped out the Grevenbergs and took their wealth to rise to power?"

Jeffery was none other than Connor's grandfather. Chloe knew he hadn't been himself lately, withdrawing from the world since Claire's passing, spending hours alone in the family chapel,

Chloe also remembered her mentor mentioning Jeffery. What was their story?

Her thoughts were a tangled mess, with something crucial on the brink of unveiling.

"It was him," Grant declared, his eyes tinged with red. "Jeffery massacred the Grevenberg family and took everything from them. That's why I have an unyielding vendetta against the Sartoris. Know why I changed my last name to Revan? Like a revenant, I'm back for revenge. I want to see the Sartori family crumble, their legacy shattered, and Jeffery to witness their fall into oblivion."

Grant's demeanor was haunting, like a ghost from the past.

Chloe's mind was a whirlwind, yet she noticed a few things didn't add up.

"That can't be true. Jeffery isn't like that. He's stern, sure, but he's honest. He

wouldn't do something so heinous," Chloe protested.noveldrama

"The Grevenberg family was powerful and wealthy. How could Jeffery have taken

Chloe couldn't wrap her head around it. She knew Jeffery as a chess-loving, somewhat stern but fundamentally good man-not a killer.
