Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover novel Chapter 665

The crowd followed her gaze, curious to see what had caught her attention.

A man emerged from backstage, making his way onto the stage. He finally stopped next to Chloe. It was Grant, the founder of QUEEN Jewelry. But just moments ago, Chloe had casually referred to him as a friend?

Grant’s eyes were as cold as ice. He scanned the audience with a steely expression, and wherever his gaze roamed, silence fell like a heavy curtain. Eventually, his piercing and intimidating eyes zeroed in on Lisa. Their eyes locked, and Lisa couldn’t help but shiver. It was as if a chill had crept up her spine, making her feel as if she’d seen a ghost. Her heart skipped a beat.

“Miss Chloe is undoubtedly the Chief Designer, MISSY, of QUEEN Jewelry. Anyone who doubts this will be permanently removed from the QUEEN VIP list,” Grant declared, his words slicing through the air and leaving no room for disagreement. As the founder, his word was law.

Lisa was left speechless, her mind reeling. She stumbled back, realizing that no matter what she said now, nobody would take her side. The glances she received were filled with disdain and scorn.

Her hands trembled with rage. She wished she could just pounce on Chloe and tear her apart. The thought of why Ricky’s bullet hadn’t taken Chloe down last time consumed her with hatred.

Claire, witnessing Lisa’s defeat, wasn’t looking too pleased herself. The revelation that Chloe was MISSY wasn’t something she wanted to accept. It made her look like a fool, having spent a billion dollars on a piece designed by her arch-nemesis.

Claire refused to take the necklace from Chloe. She quietly said, “I suddenly don’t want this piece anymore.”

Chloe’s expression didn’t falter; she seemed to have expected this. She calmly replied, “The auction rules are clear: a deal is a deal, no regrets. If you don’t want it, big sis, I can have the agency resell it, but the proceeds have to be donated. You can’t get your billion back; you know the rules of the QUEEN Jewelry auction.”

Claire was well aware of the rules—everything was written down. Once the hammer fell, there was no turning back. Otherwise, she’d have to pay double the price. A billion dollars was no small sum.
