Chloe Simpson had no idea that Selene Wilson was standing just outside the door, nor did she know Alexander Johnson's entire plan.
She simply assumed that Alexander was going to target her mother again, using her mother as leverage against her.
"Mutual destruction, huh? Fine! Chloe, you want mutual destruction with me, is that it? I'd really like to see how you plan to take me down. The Eldest Young Master of the Johnson Family, Duke Harington of the Capital Circle isn't just an empty title."
"If I wanted to, with just the curl of my finger, I could leave you and everyone around you in utter annihilation. Ha! You want to drag me down? Even if you and your little group of fish all die, my net will remain intact!"
Naturally, Alexander couldn't let this threaten his position as Duke Harington.
At least, under Selene Wilson's watchful gaze, the act had to be convincing.
Without hesitation, Alexander reached out and pinned Chloe against the wall.
