Chapter 1263
“So, the Summers family just got a new member, and you think that changes something? Is she suddenly high–and–mighty?”
Grace’s words hung in the air uncomfortably, shifting the room’s opinion of her.
Yasmine just leaned back in her wheelchair, casually raising an eyebrow.
“Nate.” Damon’s voice sliced through the awkward silence. This time, Nate didn’t act but signaled his men to surround Grace.
“What do you think you’re doing? Damon, you’re stepping out of line. I’m your elder, the lady of the Alonso family, how dare you… Ahh!”
A loud slap echoed through the room, followed by Grace’s shriek. Wendy was taken aback that Damon would actually slap her mother in front of everyone. She was frantic. “Mom! Damon…you can’t… Damon… Grandpa!” Damon’s cold indifference forced Wendy to seek help from Presley. Little did she know, all this chaos was instigated by Presley himself.
“Keep going!”
Wendy’s pleas fell on deaf ears, only making the slapping sound echo even louder.
Everyone in the room couldn’t bear to watch the spectacle.
“If you guys don’t feel embarrassed, I’m curious to see just how shameless you can be,” Damon said indifferently.
Presley hadn’t expected Damon to go this far. Publicly slapping Grace was a recipe for chaos!
“Stop!” Presley finally found his voice.
“Keep going.” Damon’s eyes were as cold as ever.
“Damon! You think tonight’s drama ain’t big enough?!”
“You’re the one who didn’t want this engagement party to go smoothly. What’s one more joke? What’s the difference?”
“Have you lost your mind?!”
Damon remained silent.
Presley was gasping with rage, “Are you blaming me?!”
Damon merely squinted at him.
“You ungrateful brat! Everything I’ve done is for your own good! What’s so good about Chloe that you would ignore Wendy? Your feelings? How long have you known each other? What kind of bond could surpass that of you and Wendy growing up together? What can she give you? Sure, the Harper family is influential now, but who knows how long that will last? Have you heard of preparing for a rainy day? Or are you going to wait until it’s too late to regret?!”
“Regret?” Damon chuckled, “There’s nothing in this world I could possibly regret. If there was.
He turned his gaze to Chloe. If there was any feeling, it was all for her. He regretted not meeting her sooner, regretted letting her shoulder everything alone, regretted not doing more for her, regretted not providing her with more care and love, regretted letting her cry, get hurt, and suffer so much.
Damon didn’t say it out loud, but everyone understood what he meant. Presley felt a chill. His worst fear was coming true, and there was nothing he could do to stop it. His most prized grandson was indeed tangled in love.
For a woman, he could give up everything.
Yasmine watched from the stage as Presley, filled with despair, finally spoke. “Presley’s thinking is nothing more than hoping for the Harper family’s continuous prosperity to remain the dominant force. But we don’t know how long this world will last, so the idea of eternal prosperity is a joke.
“Have you ever thought about where you’re putting Alyssa with your actions today? Is your relationship with Alyssa just a trade of interests, maintaining superficial harmony while not caring about each other at all?“!
Presley was stunned, his eyes bulging, “You…”
“What? Did I say something wrong? Does Presley still have feelings for Alyssa? That’s not right, is it? If you truly loved Alyssa and had a happy life with her for many years, why is it unfilial and foolish for your grandson to find someone he likes? Presley, don’t you think this is contradictory?”
Presley was speechless for a moment, his first instinct was to look at Alyssa. “I’m not…“.
“Hmph.” Alyssa scoffed, leaving Presley’s explanation hanging. “It’s so hard for you to be stuck with me.”
Chloe tugged at Yasmine’s hand. No matter how outrageous Presley was, Alyssa was someone she didn’t want to hurt. Wasn’t her mother just adding fuel to the fire?
Yasmine fell silent for a moment, and Grace’s punishment also stopped. She was livid. “How dare you hit me…”
Grace’s speech was unclear due to her swollen lips, but Yasmine understood. “There’s nothing that stops us from hitting you.”
“You’re not anyone special. Hitting you is letting you off easy.”
Wendy watched her always proud mother be humiliated like this. Before she could feel sorry for her, Yasmine’s words sent her rationality flying, leaving only indignation, humiliation, and rager
“Not anyone special, my mother is the lady of the Alonso family, you…”
“You’re also the Alonso family’s miss, the future head of the Alonso family.” Yasmine cut off Wendy, “You keep bringing up the Alonso family, and it’s getting really annoying.”
She paused, her gaze falling on Wendy, her smart eyes lingering on her for a moment, then she smiled gently, with a hint of disdain.
“Honestly, you’re not as pretty as my daughter. Your figure can’t hold a candle to my daughter’s tall and slender body…” She laughed. Yasmine paused for a moment; everyone else in the room fell into a brief silence, then they all burst into laughter.
“Hahahaha….” Kane was laughing so hard that he was practically rolling on the floor.
Nathan who had just arrived suddenly slipped and almost fell. “Wow, it’s really your mama!” He said with a laugh. His voice wasn’t loud, but it was noticeably clear.
