What started as a cheerful dinner quickly turned into something all too familiar. Valeria and Madison fell into their routine of playing good cop, bad cop. Both of them were clearly unhappy with Connor's new plans for the company. Chloe glanced over at Connor, feeling a sudden wave of concern for him. But he just sat there, calmly eating his meal.
