Chapter 72: Chapter 72: Let Her See How He Is a Scoundrel

"I wouldn’t dare, Young Mister Johnson, I’m just begging you to give me a way to live."

Chloe Simpson felt her heart clench, nodded slightly, bent her waist, and assumed a very humble posture.

A threat was indeed a threat, but it was a pleading threat.

The man who just entered covered in blood was Jack Woods, Alexander Johnson’s assistant.

Someone like Alexander Johnson, if he wanted to get things done, he had a multitude of people to choose from, there was no need to send his own assistant.

Unless it was something very important!

Jack Woods was seriously injured, indicating that this matter was not only urgent but life-threatening.

That’s why Chloe Simpson thought of using this affair to exchange for her freedom.

In her view, she was just a woman who had a one-night stand with Alexander Johnson, and now that she wasn’t at his disposal, he had such a great interest in her.

It was as if Alexander Johnson had casually bought a bird for fun, and now that the bird was not obeying, he must tame it.

Once it was obedient, after a few days, he’d lose interest and play with another bird.

After all, someone like Alexander Johnson, what kind of woman did he not have?

Chloe Simpson was desperate to get rid of Alexander Johnson, but suffering from his constant teasing, she could only try every conceivable method and seize every possible opportunity to break free from him.

But what kind of man was Alexander Johnson, how could he be so easily threatened?

"Chloe Simpson, do you not know, the thing I hate most is being threatened." Especially here by Chloe Simpson, she was also threatening him for the sake of another man.

Alexander Johnson’s voice was not loud, but his tone was more ominous than ever.

The powerful and gloomy aura that suddenly emanated made Chloe Simpson instinctively take a step back.

At this moment, she felt as if she was standing in the eighteenth level of Hell.

In that instant, she knew she was done for!

But having spoken up to this point, she was like a pawn crossing the river, unable to turn back, so she could only grit her teeth and continue.

"No, Young Mister Johnson, I just want to live my life quietly, what I want has always been very simple. I never meant to threaten you?"

Once again, Chloe Simpson lowered her stature further, almost to the point of utter humility, her tone filled with deep pleading.

Little did she know, the more she pleaded, the more infuriated Alexander Johnson became.

"Do you like Lucas Hughes that much? Do you want to grow old with Lucas Hughes?"

Alexander Johnson’s voice abruptly turned cold, and his volume increased significantly.

"!" Chloe Simpson was stunned.

She genuinely did not expect Alexander Johnson to suddenly become so emotional.

Moreover, at this moment, Alexander Johnson gave her the illusion of deep love.

He seemed just like a man who loved her but couldn’t have her, feeling jealous of Lucas Hughes.

The thought itself startled Chloe Simpson.

No! Impossible!

She and Alexander Johnson just had a one-night stand on a cruise, not to mention she was a married woman.

The respectable Young Master of the Capital Circle, what woman could he not get, why would he love a married woman?

It was as absurd and laughable as a cat falling in love with a mouse.

Meanwhile, Alexander Johnson also realized his outburst, and let out a cold laugh.

"Ha, Chloe Simpson, with me, there’s no woman who dares to say no. What rights does a mere toy have? Want to get rid of me, fine, once I’ve had enough of playing with you, you can scram!"

This seemed to be said to Chloe Simpson, but more like it was said to himself.

By the end, he was almost roaring.

It was as if even he himself realized the fleeting intense concern he held deep down for Chloe Simpson.

Concern? What a joke!

The moment she chose Lucas Hughes, he no longer cared.

The reason for entangling with this woman now was merely to deal with Gabriella Dyer, to divert Gabriella’s attention.

And Chloe Simpson, her face turned deathly pale, stood there stunned, unable to react further.

A toy?

To Alexander Johnson, she was just a toy?

Not even considered a person?

Just because he was rich and powerful, he could insult people like this? Toy with people?

"Alexander Johnson, you bastard!"

Chloe Simpson’s eyes turned red, she reached out wanting to slap Alexander Johnson.

But just as she raised her hand, he grabbed it.

"I’m a bastard! Very well, then I’ll show you just how bastardly I can be!"

Alexander Johnson grabbed Chloe Simpson’s hand and pinned it against the headboard.
