Are you really okay being just a pawn in their love ? "Mr. Connor, you're the King of Eldridge. Chloe's only interested in your status. She's using you, plain and simple.

How could this be? But then Linda pieced it together. Three years ago, Lucas took Linda abroad, and it pushed Chloe over the edge, in her despair, did she find a man? Did that man turn out to be Mr Connor? What was this trophy boy thing about? But based on Connor's expression, he didn't seem to be lying.
