"Is there something you think I should know?" Chloe asked, her lips curving into a smirk that wasn't quite a smile.

Lisa's heart skipped a beat, but she kept her face stern. She couldn't stand Chloe's naturally composed, superior demeanor. It was as if she was born to be above everyone else.

"Chloe, right now, you're just a stray dog the Meadows family took in. You'd better know your place. As you know, a dog that bites its master won't live to see another day."
