Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chapter 623



Jacob had finally lost his cool.

"Do you think I want to sell? Sure, it belonged to your family, but haven't I been the one keeping it afloat all these years, pouring half my life into it, supporting you, letting you enjoy the comforts of being a wealthy housewife? And now you simply say we can't sell, and that's it?"

"Jacob, what are you even trying to say? You were the one who swore you didn't want anything more, happy to marry into the Meadows family and work for me forever. I didn't just let you marry in; our kids carry your name, and while you handled external affairs, I took care of things at home. Raising Chloe didn't require time and effort? And wasn't entertaining those high-society ladies also paving the way for the Meadows family? For years, I've given my all for the company, for this family. How can you reduce it to you supporting me?" Leah shook her head in disbelief.

Her parents had passed away when she was young, and under her uncle's guidance, she had taken on the company's responsibilities. The memories of her father's betrayal and her mother's subsequent depression and death made Belle Époque, the brand her father created as a love letter to her mother, feel bitterly ironic.

When she met Jacob, who had ambitions for the company, she stepped back. But over the years, she had supported the business from behind the scenes, especially byworking in elite circles and exchanging vital information among influential ladies. Many of his business deals were secured over those afternoon teas he scorned. At this moment, Leah truly saw Jacob's callousness and selfishness.

Jacob, too, was fed up. For years, he

had put up with Leah, always

bending to her will, but he was done. "At your age, still acting like a spoiled brat," he thought, noting the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. HeThis is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

slammed his hand on the table, "I've decided to sell the shares, and nothing you say will change my mind. I'm the head of this house, and your opposition doesn't count."

As the tension between them escalated, Chloe walked in. She calmly placed her handbag on the table and said, I disagree with selling the shares." She had heard their argument from the hallway. Jacob was indeed selfish and cold-hearted, always looking out for number one. And Leah... Chloe felt conflicted about her. Leah was genuinely trying to make amends for her past actions. Chloe had come to terms with their history; she no longer held a grudge against Leah. But things could never be the same as before. When she thought about Leah's perspective, Chloe felt a pang of emotion.

Seeing Chloe, Lisa was initially shocked, then pointed at her accusingly. "Chloe, you ungrateful brat, why even come back? If you hadn't left us in the lurch, Belle Époque wouldn't be in this mess, needing to sell shares. That's Dad's life's work. You didn't help, and now you want to meddle? What right do you have?"

Chloe glanced at Lisa with an icy stare that silenced her immediately. For a moment, Lisa thought she saw a flicker of something dangerous in Chloe's eyes, sending a chill down her spine.

Connor entered and stood by

Chloe's side, his gaze towards Lisa as cold as ice, chilling her to the core. Though he didn't say a word, Lisa felt a wave of fear. She found his coldness even more terrifying than Chloe's, like a threatening storm on the horizon. Lisa couldn't help but feel defeated. Among all the people she had met, including Kash from the Shaw family, Connor was an entirely different breed.
