Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Now, if he were to use those needles again and erase parts of her memory, how could he be sure she'd forget today's secrets? It was a gamble he couldn't control.

Chloe broke the silence, "Grant, are you planning to use those needles on me again?" She shook her head defiantly, "Do you really think I'm just going to let you?"

"Unless you're ready to kill me or lock me up like you did with the master, there's no way I'm letting you succeed."

Grant's needle technique needed the recipient's complete cooperation. Even the slightest misstep could lead to unexpected results, and it had to be done while the person was fully conscious. As long as she resisted, there was no way Grant could pull off his “Thirteen Ghost Needles.”

But that wasn't the main issue right now. Chloe was playing for time. She'd already texted Connor before coming in, asking him to bring Kash along to pick her up. Once they got there, they'd definitely sense something was off. Even if Grant hid her away, they wouldn't back down without seeing her.noveldrama

Her hopes were pinned on their arrival. She prayed Connor and Kash would show up soon and find her. But Grant seemed to read her like an open book.

"Waiting for Connor to rescue you, are we?" Grant's words caught her off guard. She turned to him, eyes wide with fear. They'd known each other for over a decade, like family since they were kids. But now, staring at Grant felt like facing a stranger. Yet, one thing hadn't changed his uncanny ability to see right through her.

"Connor and Kash are already here," Grant said casually. "They walked through the villa gates just a minute ago." Chloe's eyes widened in disbelief. "So, what's your plan now?"

Grant looked completely at ease. He couldn't use the needles on her anymore, nor could he realistically imprison her. If Connor didn't find her, he wouldn't just walk away. But if she showed up now, she'd reveal Grant's true intentions.

The situation seemed like a stalemate. Yet, Grant remained unruffled, as if everything was unfolding according to his plan.

"I'd like to introduce you to someone," he said, abruptly changing the subject. Chloe's heart skipped a beat. Why introduce someone now? It couldn't be that simple.

Just then, the door swung open, revealing a tall, elegant figure. It was a woman-breathtakingly beautiful at first glance. Grant continued, "You've always been curious about MISS Z, right? Well, here she is."

The woman stepped inside, dressed in a stunning gown. The plunging neckline showcased her flawless skin, white her shimmering purple tassel dress glimmered with each graceful step, like a cascade of stars. Intricate silver vine patterns adorned her fitted bodice, trailing up to her shoulders, with the entire ensemble sparkling with purple diamonds.

Her makeup was impeccable, enhancing her stunning beauty. She looked like she'd just walked out of a grand ball, still radiating an aura of elegance and allure.
