“Why would I do that?” His question was leading. He wanted her to know exactly what he was doing.
“To make me question Lana. To separate me from her.” Why? ...Why would he volunteer all of this information? It made no sense. Lex kept his plans to himself. He did his best to keep Chloe out of them.
“And if I separated you from her would it make any difference to what happens to Lana?” Come on Chloe; just make the connection he thought.
“Of course not! She would…would…still have Clark.” His questions were frustrating her. She couldn’t figure out his purpose. Of course Lana would have Clark. She’d always have Clark.
“And what would happen to you?” Deep down she knew the answer, he just needed her to admit it to herself.
“What are you getting at?”
“What would happen to you if Lana and you fought and she turned to Clark?”
“I would be fine. Clark would understand.” She hoped Clark would understand. Thought she wouldn’t bet her life on it.
The thought must have played out across her face because Lex was snide when he answered, “Since you are certain, then I guess there is nothing more we have to say to each other now.”
