Chapter 1144
“So, you’re not with Damon now, are you gonna back me up?”
Wendy naturally didn’t respond. That was impossible. She didn’t want to put more distance between her and Damon.
Robin seemed to read her mind, “So, forget the support from the Alonso family, as long as you guys don’t play against me, that’s enough. No matter what, I’m part of the Harper family. No matter who the head of the Harper family is, the interests are the most important. I can step aside, but I want to fight for more benefits for the Harper family, so I can get more dividends from my shares, you get me?
“Instead of marrying a woman with no family or background, I’d rather Damon marries someone who can really help him, like you, don’t you agree?”
Wendy’s eyebrows twitched slightly, “… Is that really what you think?”
“Hahaha… What good would it do for me to lie to you? Besides, it’s just a thought, it doesn’t seem to have any real help for you, does it?”
That was true. Wendy heaved a sigh of relief, followed by a wave of disappointment.
“Yeah, that’s true. Damon and Chloe’s engagement is coming up, it’s pretty much set in stone…”
“Set in stone? It’s still early.”
Wendy’s eyes lit up, she immediately grabbed the phone tightly, “What do you mean?”
Robin chuckled…
Starlight International’s celebration party didn’t include Stanley, so now Stanley was arguing with Chloe.
“You dare not to invite me to something like this?!”
“Do I become invisible in your eyes?”
“Are you going to forget me in a few days?”
“If you dare to forget me, I’ll… give you a taste of your own medicine!”
“Chloe…”
Chloe had a headache due to Stanley’s ranting, sitting in her chair holding her head, and looking at the man who refused to leave her office. “Stop making a fuss, you’re giving me a headache.”
Stanley was shopping online for the latest popular snacks while arguing. He ordered another box.
Not only were the penny candies good here, but online shopping was also very convenient. Why did he need so many subordinates with online shopping? If Ned knew what he was thinking now, he would definitely freak out! My god, all their hard work over the years, in the end was not as important as snacks and delivery?!
After placing the order and tossing the tablet aside, Stanley stood up and walked over to Chloe, propping his hands on the desk, looking at Chloe. “Haven’t you been in the office too long? Do you want to go out for a walk?”
Chloe shook her head, “No.”
Stanley’s eyebrows immediately furrowed, “You rejected me so quickly!”
“Yes. I have a family now, it’s not good to go out with you.”
Stanley yelled out in anger, “If you keep this up, I’m going to settle the score with Damon!”
Chloe glared at Stanley. “Try me.”
“Chloe, you’re so cold–hearted! I’ve sacrificed so much for you over the years, so many times I’ve risked my life…”
His words suddenly stopped, as he stared at Chloe’s face. Her features were bold and deep, there was a noble air between her eyebrows and eyes, and she was smart and clever. When she was assertive, no one dared to defy her.
“Risked your life for me over the years?” Chloe caught the key point in Stanley’s words, frowning at him, “What have you been doing over the years?”
Stanley averted his gaze, and stood up straight, “Nothing.”
Seeing Stanley like this, Chloe suddenly had a strong and inexplicable feeling in her heart. “Stanley…”
“Enough! I haven’t seen you for years, how could I have a chance to risk my life for you!”
With a wave of his hand, Stanley impatiently interrupted Chloe’s intention to question further. Then he didn’t allow Chloe to think any further, his expression immediately became slightly colder. “Damn it, I have to let off some steam, I’m feeling uneasy! Where’s Damon, get him out here, I need to teach him a lesson!”
Chloe glanced at him, “Teach him a lesson?”
“Oh my god! What’s with that look?!” Stanley roared, Chloe felt like her eardrums were going to be shattered by his voice.
Chloe rubbed her throbbing temples and picked up her phone to call the Harper family. “Hello, this is the Harper family.”
This voice was Addie… Again? Where did she push Carly.off to this time?
“Damon and I won’t be home for dinner tonight, so don’t prepare for us.”
“Not coming home for dinner?” Addie sounded confused, then urgently asked, “Ms. Summers, where are you and Damon going?”
Chloe’s tone suddenly cooled, “Is it any of your business?”
Addie paused on the other end, then spoke without fear, “I just don’t want to be caught off guard if Mr. Presley asks. I think it’s better if you tell me, so as not to worry the elders at home.”
Chloe sneered, “Don’t we even have a little privacy? Do we have to report to you wherever we go?”
“What’s going on? Where is she going?”
Before Chloe could finish speaking,‘Presley’s voice came from the other end of the phone. Addie’s voice suddenly had a little more confidence, and sounded slightly smug, “You heard that, Ms. Summers, Presley is asking where you’re going?”
Chloe was silent for a moment, then suddenly laughed coldly, “The amusement park.”
The outdoor amusement park had horse riding, shooting, car racing, hunting, and other large–scale outdoor entertainment. When Damon found this place, Chloe had taken a second look. The entire suburb was almost this one project, covering too many areas, it was a huge investment in entertainment.
Nathan happened to run into Damon who was about to leave at the company, and took the opportunity to come along.
As soon as Stanley saw Damon, his eyes were practically boring holes into Damon with the intensity of his glare. Nathan couldn’t help but find the whole situation amusing, so he sidled up to Stanley, slinging an arm around his shoulder and asked, “Got some serious beef with my bro, huh? You’re looking at each other like you’re ready to tear each other apart!
Stanley shot him a sideways glance, “Because he stole my love! How deep do you think that hatred is?”
“Um…”
Nathan let out a small chuckle, glanced at Chloe, then suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. Instantly on guard, he quickly made his position clear, putting some distance between him and Stanley, “My brother’s wife has been his wife for a while now. Where’s this stolen love‘ coming from? Don’t talk
nonsense!”
Stanley’s face darkened. “Bullshit! I was the one who used to be with your brother’s wife all the time! Just you watch, I’m gonna give him a good thrashing today, show his wife just how crap her taste in men really is!”
Ned, standing nearby, was also feeling pretty awkward. That was quite the bomb to drop.
