Chapter 1115
Makenna’s eyes were brimming with tears, “That Ms. Summers from Starlight International is the future lady boss of The Harper Group!”
Melinda’s face paled in an instant, suddenly recalling her unpleasant words to Chloe when she and Ms. Wendy visited Starlight International earlier. She still remembered Chloe’s advice to keep her status in the entertainment industry and not get used by others, or she’d end up all alone.
Her response? “My dad’s got my back…”
She could still picture Chloe’s faint smile. Thinking about it now, she was breaking out in cold sweats.
She shivered suddenly. The woman seemed more and more terrifying the more she thought about her. Was she being used? What did she mean?
She had no clue about the relationship between Wendy and Chloe. Thinking back to what Chloe said to Wendy at Starlight International, she vaguely sensed some tension between them. But she had no time to ponder about it now. Her mom was laughing and crying at the same time.
“Your good–for–nothing father protected his mistress by using someone else as a scapegoat. Mr. Harper from The Harper Group was at the hotel at the time. You ask what’s the matter? Serves him right, it’s karma! I caught him several times, but he never repented. Now…our whole family is involved! Nice game! It’s just great! He hurt Tiffany and dragged us all into it! Let’s divorce! I don’t want to be his wife anymore! If he loves Tiffany, let him marry her!” As Makenna spoke, she stood up, wiping her tears!
“Mom…” Melinda was panicking.

“Melinda, don’t stop me anymore. The whole world knows about Austin and my niece. How can I live with him with any dignity left?!” Makenna’s face was full of despair.
Austin looked at his wife, realizing her determination this time, and he was terrified. “Babe… I was wrong. Please, give me one last chance… I promise I won’t do it again… Really!”
Upon hearing Austin’s words, Tiffany immediately crawled to his side, sobbing, “Austin, my face… you need to pay for my plastic surgery…” “Get out!!”
Austin was trembling with rage! It was his impulsive decision that led to his current predicament.
“Babe, babe, I’m begging you, just one last chance, I promise…”
Makenna sneered, “I don’t believe you anymore. What else are you incapable of doing!”
She shook off Austin’s hand and ran upstairs, seemingly ready to pack her things.
Austin looked anxious. He was now less concerned about whether his wife would leave him. His company was taken over. The news came as a bolt from the blue. The Harper Group moved so swiftly that he didn’t have time to react and the company was already in someone else’s hands.
He felt helpless and didn’t know what to do. How was he going to explain it to Mr. Robin?
Just as he was worrying, his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, and Austin’s eyelids twitched involuntarily.
His worst fear was coming true. He immediately answered the call, and Austin subtly shifted aside. He deliberately moved away from the others in the living room, his voice trembling, “Mr. Robin…”
“I just want to know if this is a coincidence or someone planned it.” The deep voice was calm and accepting of the fact that the situation could not be changed.
Austin swallowed hard, “Mr. Robin, I… I really didn’t know that Ms. Summers from Starlight International was…”
“Okay, I understand.”
The tone was obviously the same as the one on the news. Apparently, Chloe was dragged into this by Austin at the last minute. this was planned, he could no longer stand by and do nothing.
“Mr. Robin, the company…”
“What about the company? Food’s already in the lion’s mouth, are you expecting it to spit it out? Your days of wealth and honor are over.”
Without giving Austin a chance to respond, he hung up.
Austin’s last glimmer of hope had been utterly crushed. At that moment, Makenna came downstairs with her luggage.
The company was gone, and so was his wife. Austin, expressionless, immediately got up and followed.
Chloe drove to The Watson Hotel and went straight to Damon’s room on the 26th floor.
Nate opened the door for Chloe. When she walked in, Damon’s suit jacket was hanging on the armrest of the sofa. He was wearing a neat white shirt with two buttons undone at the collar, sitting on the sofa, watching the large–screen LCD TV in front of him.
The screen showed the stock market, and the stock he was watching was Austin’s Hardware, which The Harper Group had just acquired.
When he saw her come in, Damon just glanced at her, then gestured to the seat next to him on the sofa. Without hesitation, Chloe sat down next to him and watched as the stock slowly rose.
She took a light breath. Although she had anticipated this, it was only when she saw that the situation was not bad that she truly relaxed.
“Have you sold all the stocks before the acquisition?”
“Mhm.
Chloe closed her mouth lightly, paused for a moment, and then said, “You moved so fast, didn’t he come looking for you?”
Damon’s eyebrows twitched slightly, “Why should he look for me? It was just a coincidence that I acquired a company. He’s been running it for many years, and this one company is too much for him to bear?”
“Well, that’s true.” Chloe thought about it and agreed. “But Austin’s Hardware is a sizable company in P City. With such decisive action, he might suspect something.”
Damon slowly turned his head to look at her, a hint of sarcasm lurking in his eyes, ‘Even though he had doubts, he had no choice but to silently bear this loss.”
Chloe looked at the smile on his face, feeling somewhat uneasy. “I didn’t do it on purpose this time. How could I know Rhoda and Austin would gang up on me? I was just as surprised when Austin himself accused me of being his lover. You have no idea what I was going through. I was so pitiful, so helpless, so innocent!”
Nate stood aside, his lips twitching at what he heard.
Pitiful, helpless, innocent?
Haha… Hard to imagine!
I mean, seriously, did these three words even fit this woman?
