Chapter 1190
Nate said, “Mr. Harper just had a chat with Ms. Alonso, telling her that since they met in Hong Kong, he had seen all her nasty tricks against Chloe, slandering and targeting her. This time, in the equestrian and shooting competition in West Valley, he saw her real ugly side. So, he told Ms. Wendy not to even think about being with him…”
Man, he didn’t sugarcoat anything. Presley’s face darkened as he listened. Wendy was both angry and humiliated, biting her lip until it bled. However, she didn’t even seem to feel it.
The servants who heard the commotion came out, and hearing Nate’s words, they couldn’t help but snicker. Addie felt the body she was supporting getting heavier and heavier. Looking at the smirking servants, she was pissed. “What’re you guys doing standing there? Help us out!”
The servants frowned, looked at Presley, and seeing him indifferent to Addie’s arraogant attitude, reluctantly stepped forward to help Addie carry Wendy upstairs.
Seeing everything was under control, Nate turned to Presley and said, “Take care of yourself. I’m out.”
Presley just huffed through his nose, lips still sealed shut. “When will they stop fighting? When will they come back?”
“I don’t know,”
Presley said nothing more.
In Wendy’s room, after Addie had shooed the servants away and closed the door, she saw Wendy lying on the bed alone, her shoulders shaking with sobs.
Addie felt sorry for her and patted Wendy’s shoulder gently. “Wendy, you’ve been through so much.”
Wendy clenched the sheets, her face buried in the pillow was wet with tears, but her eyes were wide open and bloodshot. If anyone saw her eyes filled with such rage, they would be taken aback. Ignoring Addie’s comfort, Wendy just sobbed.
Hearing her cry, Addie felt a pang in her heart. “Wendy, hiding and crying isn’t going to help. Men can’t resist a woman who puts in the effort. Chloe is just having her moment now. Who will win in the end is anyone’s guess.”
Wendy’s sobs quieted a bit. “But… Damon said my behavior was ugly. He hates me now…
Addie chuckled. “That’s the past, not the future. As long as you can move on and be the elegant Wendy again, Mr. Harper will see your good side. You just need to let your good side now overshadow your past mistakes. Isn’t that good?”
Wendy felt a bit better, but she had a different take on Addie’s words. Although she felt a bit more relaxed, due to staying in a hot room for too long earlier, her wounds were hurting badly, and now she felt very dizzy. She wanted to get up and wash her face, but after a wave of dizziness, she collapsed onto the bed and passed out.
Addie immediately thought about her wounds and hurriedly opened her collar to check. She was shocked by what she saw, screamed, and immediately ran out. “Mr. Presley! Ms. Wendy fainted!”
Nate, who was about to leave, stopped at the sound of Addie’s panicked voice.
“Mr. Presley, Wendy passed out!”
Nate frowned but didn’t move.
“Call the doctor now!” Presley ordered immediately.
Addie immediately called the Harper family’s medical team. The doctors arrived twenty minutes later. Seeing this medical team, Nate couldn’t help but sneer. They were one of the high–level medical research teams funded by the Harper family with a lot of money. Now they were summoned just because of a fever. Was her life that precious?
But the final examination results surprised Nate. Wendy’s wounds all over her body were inflamed, pus–filled, swollen, and even itchy. She also had a high fever! What was more surprising was that because of too many wounds, bacteria had entered her bloodstream, causing a severe infection. If not treated immediately, it could turn into sepsis.
This was terrifying. One misstep, and her life could be in danger.
Nate left the Harper residence without a word. Even as he got into the car, he couldn’t help but sigh. Mr. Harper was really something, He said he wouldn’t harm her, and he didn’t. He took her out, and then sent her back. Even if she died, it wouldn’t be his fault.
Mr. Harper was never afraid of the Alonso family. Today, he just added some trouble for Presley because of Wendy’s state. After all, this time Presley had messed up with his wife.
What did “messed up with” mean? He could favor someone else, but not liking his wife was not okay!
At least this time in West Valley, Mr. Harper did something for Chloe. It was better than… letting Mr. Harper do nothing at all.
It seemed that Chloe was too dominant, always very rational. If it weren’t for Mr. Harper’s indulgence of Chloe, if it weren’t for Mr. Harper not wanting Chloe to worry too much, then, that day in West Valley, even if Presley tried to stop it, Wendy would’ve definitely died at the end of Mr. Harper’s gun.
When the car arrived at Greenfield Village, it was already dark. Nate waited in the living room for a while, then saw Damon coming down the stairs, adjusting the cuffs of his dark shirt. Two buttons of his shirt were undone, revealing smooth skin and collarbones. His handsome face was obviously wearing a look of satisfaction.
This man was chilly and classy; his posture was elegant and composed, and his face was unbelievably good–looking.
When you mixed all those elements, and added the satisfaction he just enjoyed his time in the arms of a babe, it was really hard to put into words Damon’s expression, posture, and vibe at this moment.
What could imagine what this frosty, aloof dude was like in bed.
Nate gave his thigh a good pinch!
Damon plopped down on the couch, every casual move oozing a regal, badass vibe.
