Connor let out a cold laugh. "Oh, did he come crying to you? What else did he say?"

Chloe's voice turned icy. "No, he didn't. Actually, I don't care what you do. I just hope you won't let your personal feelings get in the way because of me. The Paradise Resort project is too big to be tainted by personal grudges."
