Chapter 1300
“Sure, if you end up not backing us, it’s cool. Damon and I won’t exactly be starving
Presley was so pissed off that his eyes were practically bulging out of his head, huffing, and puffing at Chloe. “You really are one stubborn piece of work.”
Chloe grinned. “I think ‘stubborn‘ might be a better fit for you.”
“If you’re hell–bent on this, don’t blame me for not showing any mercy to Damon!”
Chloe sighed. “That’s a shame, Presley. Our chat today was a total waste of time. I did my best to try and salvage things, but if that’s how it is, I’ll get out of your hair. Take care of yourself.”
With that, she turned, heading for the study door.
But before she could even reach the door, there was a knock, and Marina’s voice echoed from the other side. “Presley, Ms. Wendy is here.”
Chloe raised an eyebrow, talk about perfect timing.
“Let her in!” Presley grumbled. He needed someone to blow off some steam on.
As soon as he finished speaking, the study door was flung open, and Wendy’s slender figure appeared in the doorway, a faint smile on her face. “Presley…Chloe? You’re here too.”
Chloe smiled at her. “What a coincidence.”
Wendy’s gaze involuntarily landed on Chloe’s stomach.
Chloe took a few steps forward, her outfit making her look both sophisticated and stylish, but something seemed off. Wendy frowned, her gaze finally landing on the flats on Chloe’s feet. Her heart shot up to her throat, the pain making it hard to breathe.
Wendy looked up at Chloe, her heart filled with anxiety. She bit her lip. “Chloe, your outfit today…it’s very pretty.”
Chloe looked at her quietly for a moment. “Really?” she looked down and adjusted her coat belt. “I think my shoes are prettier.”
Wendy’s gaze returned to the flats on Chloe’s feet. “Indeed…they are beautiful.”

Chloe didn’t say anything further. Her hands were tucked in her coat pockets, and she walked past Wendy.
Her departure made Wendy even more anxious. On the way here, she had asked Addie a few questions, but Addie’s reaction made her feel like Addie was clueless. If Addie knew, there would be no reason to keep it from her.
Her mood was slightly relaxed at first, but seeing Chloe, she couldn’t help but want to confirm, especially seeing Chloe wearing flats today, which made her more
nervous.
She knew that Chloe had been taken away by Yasmine and hadn’t returned to the Harper family for days, but why would she suddenly return today? Was it to report good news to Presley?
She had known about the Harper Group’s shareholder meeting for a while now, and her father had also told her that this was pretty much Presley’s last resort, using the company’s inheritance to force Damon to compromise.
The so–called compromise naturally included agreeing to marry her. But if Chloe was really pregnant and was using the baby as a bargaining chip, even Presley wouldn’t of help then. Her mind was a mess; she was grinding her teeth.
“Presley…” After a while, she finally spoke up, smiling at Presley. “Why did Chloe come back today? Did you two have another fight?”
At the mention of Chloe, Presley’s expression instantly became complicated, but there was no joy to be seen. “I don’t want to talk about her. Did something?”

Wendy forced a smile. “My wound has healed a lot, thanks for taking care of me before. I was free today, so I thought I’d come to check on you… Ah, Presley, hold on a sec, I left something in the car. I’ll go get it.”
“…Okay,” Presley responded indifferently, and Wendy had already quickly turned and run out.
Chloe was walking slowly, and when Wendy ran out, she caught up with her at the stairs. “Chloe…”
Chloe stopped, turning to look at Wendy, who was quickly approaching. Pulling back, Chloe moved to one side, smiling at her. “Ms. Alonso, what are you up to?”
Wendy came up to her, her gaze scanning Chloe’s stomach, looking as if she’d like nothing more than to cut Chloe open and see what was inside. With only the two of them around, Wendy dropped the act. “Why did you come to see Presley today?”
“Is that any of your business?”
“Do you have any idea how lonely Presley is now? Chloe, if it weren’t for you not letting go of Damon, Presley wouldn’t be living such a lonely life despite having a family. You’ve taken away the warmth that should’ve been Presley’s, don’t you feel the least bit guilty?”
Chloe smiled at her “Same to you. When it comes to not letting go and being overly clingy, no one can beat you.”
Wendy cast a glance at Chloe standing at the edge of the stairs. A thought crossed her mind, and she took a step towards Chloe.
Chloe stood her ground, looking down and counting the steps Wendy took towards her, her demeanor relaxed.
It wasn’t until Wendy was two steps away that she stopped. Wendy was wearing three–inch heels, and standing in front of Chloe now, she was almost the same height. “Chloe, has anyone ever told you that you’re too full of yourself?”
“No,” Chloe answered bluntly, then as if she had thought of something, she suddenly smiled. “If you count as a person, then yes.”
Wendy’s face turned red with fury. “Do you really think the Alonso family will be your wedding gift? Chloe, this time, you and your mother are digging your own graves I can’t wait for the day you’re kneeling in front of me begging for forgiveness”
“You must be dreaming. Even if I were to fall so low as to beg, I would never show up at your doorstep. As for you wanting to see me make a fool of myself, I can tell you, that day will never come.”
Seeing Chloe’s nonchalant expression, Wendy couldn’t help but laugh out of anger. “I can’t wait to see you hit rock bottom and make a fool of yourself! But rather than letting you off easy, I’d prefer to torture you slowly, just to see how strong your will is!”
“Well, keep dreaming then.” Chloe responded nonchalantly, then turned to leave, wall
Wendy was seething, grinding her teeth. She glanced downstairs, then abruptly grab
