What did Alexander Johnson just say?
He actually wants to let her go?
With a loud "boom," Chloe Simpson was thunderstruck and froze completely on the spot.
How could this be possible?
She still owes him one million dollars!
Not to ntion, he’s still interested in her body and wants to toy with her.
Just based on this million alone, Alexander couldn’t possibly let her leave, right?
No matter how much of a Crown Prince of the Capital Circle Alexander Johnson is, no matter how rich he is, he wouldn’t just throw a million at her like that.
Moreover, the relationship between the two of them is like this.
"Absolutely not!"
Just as Chloe was lost in thought, Gabriella Dyer rushed to Alexander’s bedside.
"Alexander, I absolutely disagree with what you’re saying. This woman, there’s no way she can be let off so easily! She stabbed you, for God’s sake! Let tell you, even if not for anything else, just for the reputation of the Johnson Family, this cannot be swept under the rug."
"Yesterday, your father just gave a vague answer, saying he wanted to investigate the matter of her kidnapping your mother before making a decision. That was already the furthest I could compromise. Yet now, before anything has been figured out, you’re saying to let her leave directly."
"No way! A thousand tis no, ten thousand tis no. Let make this clear, no matter what, Chloe Simpson cannot leave. She must stay here and wait until everything is thoroughly investigated."
Gabriella was extrely forceful, speaking as though she was entirely looking out for Alexander.
But in reality, it was all for herself.
She had sched so ticulously to orchestrate the drama last night.
Now, with things escalating to this point, could Alexander’s single sentence to let Chloe leave just brush everything aside?
If that were the case, wouldn’t everything Gabriella had worked on so far be completely wasted?
Moreover, as soon as Chloe leaves, Selene Wilson and Alexander Johnson’s engagent would imdiately be brought to the forefront.
Once the two of them are engaged, the Johnson Family’s situation would instantly shift drastically.
Originally, Gabriella spent so many years preparing for the inevitable within the Johnson Clan Group, secretly and openly, doing countless things just to secure the odds in her favor.
She had painstakingly carved out a foothold for her son.
But now, just one alliance through marriage could overturn the odds in Alexander’s favor completely.
How could she allow this?
"...Alexander, I also agree with your mother’s opinion."
Liam Johnson stepped forward to echo Gabriella’s stance.
Because Gabriella’s recent actions were too impressive in his eyes.
At this mont, in Liam’s eyes, Gabriella Dyer seed like a perfect mother—an exceptional stepmother.
"Liam, I knew you’d understand . I truly... It hurts so much to see Alexander like this. I can’t bear to let this woman go."
Gabriella acted as though she was emotionally shattered beyond repair, grabbing Liam’s arm and leaning against his shoulder, choking back sobs as she spoke.
"I know, I know."
Liam consoled Gabriella before turning his gaze to Selene Wilson.
"Selene, what do you think?"
After all, Selene Wilson was about to beco engaged to Alexander Johnson.
"Uncle, Aunt. If I said I don’t have any opinions on this matter, I’d be lying. Not only do I have opinions, but I’m extrely, extrely furious. As the heiress of the Wilson Clan Group, no one has ever treated this way since I was a child."
"Last night, I still thought Miss Simpson was nothing more than Alexander’s casual fling. But now, I see it clearly—Miss Simpson is entangled with Alexander far deeper than I expected."
"If that’s the case, then just send her away! Lock her up, and then we can guarantee with absolute certainty that she and Alexander will never cross paths again!"
