Chapter 1488
“If you’re still sleepy, just keep snoozing.”
Throughout the nearly ten hours from last night to today on the plane, Damon’s tone had been frosty. Even though Chloe had tried to get Damon to chill out a bit, to avoid staying tense all the time, which could be exhausting, it seemed to be in vain.
Damon still appeared tense, but even so, he was very thoughtful in taking care of Chloe, so there was nothing to nitpick about.
This left Chloe at her wits‘ end.
Damon looked at Chloe lying on the soft bed, unable to resist stroking her smooth cheek. Her soft and beautiful appearance was something Damon didn’t want anyone else to see.
Chloe slightly turned her body, put her arm on Damon’s shoulder, rested her face on his chest, sighed, and then snuggled in his arms. Seeing Chloe’s subconscious affectionate actions, Damon’s hardened heart softened a bit.
“Are we there yet?”
Damon stroked her hair and whispered, “If you’re tired, just keep sleeping.”
Chloe shook her head. “I want to go home and rest.”
Damon stayed silent for a moment, picked Chloe up from the bed, and started to help her put on one piece of clothing after another.
Clothes, scarf, hat…
In the end, only Chloe’s bright eyes were exposed, staring at Damon. Chloe moved her hands awkwardly at her sides. “Dot–look like a polar bear now?” Damon looked at her layered–up state and couldn’t help but chuckle. “Ever seen a pink polar bear?”
Chloe lowered her head to look at her pink clothes, frowning. Why would he make her wear such girly clothes? The hat even had two fluffy pom–poms. Her outfit made her feel more like a seventeen–year–old girl.
This made Chloe, in her twenties and approaching thirty, feel awkward. It was completely different from Chloe’s usual style. But, right now, staying warm was the priority.
When the plane’s cabin door opened, Nathan and Kane were waiting at the door. Seeing Chloe, dressed like pink cotton candy, they both blinked, and then Nathan couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “Oh my God! You suddenly changed your style?”
Kane looked at Chloe, holding back laughter, and said, “Are you going for the cute style now? Damon, you have unique taste.”
Chloe suddenly leaned into Damon’s arms, looking at him. “Do I look ugly dressed like this? Is that why they’re making fun of me?”
Damon tightly hugged her and whispered, “No, you’re not ugly”
After saying that, he shot a cold glance at Kane and Nathan.

Just then, the plane’s cabin door slowly opened. Kane and Nathan didn’t hesitate and quickly walked out. If they left any later, Damon might have punched them.
Over the years, they’d honed their skills at reading Damon’s moods.
“It’s so cold.”
“Hurry, we’re gonna turn into ice sculptures.”
Without Nathan and the others saying it, as soon as the plane’s door opened, Chloe felt the cold. Thank goodness Damon had her bundled up, otherwise, this sudden cold air might have given her a cold.
Feeling Chloe shiver slightly, Damon held her even tighter.
Damon, protecting Chloe, carefully walked off the plane.
It was already evening outside, and it was starting to get dark. When they exited the airport, they accidentally ran into the paparazzi waiting there.
Chloe was bundled up, only revealing her eyes, so the paparazzi didn’t recognize her. Plus, her pink outfit made her look like a cute polar bear; no one would think that this cute bear was the legendary Chloe.
Aside from Chloe, the conspicuous Damon was bound to catch the paparazzi’s attention.
Seeing Damon, the paparazzi immediately rushed over. Although Damon didn’t have many bodyguards, the paparazzi didn’t dare to approach too closely.
But their eyes were all on Chloe in Damon’s arms. They had never seen Damon with a woman other than Chloe so close. Now seeing him intimately holding “another woman“, everyone couldn’t help but be curious.
No matter how they looked, they could only see Chloe’s eyes. The paparazzi could only focus on Damon.
“Mr. Harper, what are your specific plans against the Harper Group? How do you plan to corner the Harper family?”
“Mr. Harper, the Alonso Corporation’s investment was snatched by Ms. Summers halfway, and now the entire Alonso Corporation is in crisis. We have confirmed that Wendy has gone with Grace to Harper’s Mansion to seek help from Presley. What do you think, will Presley agree to help the Alonso family through this crisis?”
Chloe’s eyebrows were hidden by her hat but arched slightly without saying anything.
Would he agree? Of course, he would.
Presley had always claimed that the Harper family and the Alonso family had a good relationship, so good that a marriage alliance between the Harper family and the Alonso family was what he hoped for the most. Damon could be used as a bargaining chip.
Wendy was hurt by Damon, and with just a single project, she dominated the Harper family for a long time.

The Alonso family showed their superiority in front of the Harper family. Yet, in the end, they still sought help from the Harpers.
How disappointing.
Chloe sneered. If the Harper family agreed to invest, then no sweat. She still made a killing.
As a shareholder owning over thirty percent of Alonso Corporation, if the project really took off, she would be thanking the Harper family for their generous handout.
However, while taking down the Alonso family wasn’t exactly imminent, if this chance was missed, then dealing with the Alonso family could become a tougher nut to crack.
I finished reading the chinese version. The story ended in Chapter 1938, everything afterwards seems to be a different novel.
Very interesting, some people paid ultimate price.
Nice read, I just passed this onto a friend who was doing a little research on that. And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him smile Thus let me rephrase that: Thank you for lunch! “Bill Dickey is learning me his experience.” by Lawrence Peter Berra.
