Chapter 944
Miles took a deep breath, speaking softly, “Ms. Summers is a smart cookie, and she knows what’s going on with her better than anyone else. Every word she says, everything she does, I think it’s all with a reason She spoke like that just now, maybe because she’s already thought it through in her head.”
Katie glanced at Chloe’s back, looking surprised Her admiration and aspiration for Chloe increased a notch Suddenly, she felt that Chloe was like a star out of reach. She was right there, but it was hard to understand what was going on inside her.
She tumed her head, looking up at the taller Miles, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, “What is she thinking?”
Miles shook his head with a bitter smile, “Only she knows that.”
Katie’s face showed disappointment and she sighed dejectedly. Then they just stood there, staring at each other.
A few seconds later, they both looked down at the same time. They saw their hands entwined unknowingly, and like they were scalded, they quickly pulled apart.
Then, Miles stood in place, clenching his fist, and coughed awkwardly. Katie crossed her arms, swaying slightly, her ears flushed.
“Let’s go grab a bite.” Miles, being the gentleman, broke the awkward silence first.
“Sure” Katie quickly agreed.
Then they turned around together, seeing Chloe leaning against the bar counter with a faint smile. Both of them felt embarrassed, but Chloe quickly turned her head away, continuing to sip her water as if nothing happened.
They both let out a sigh of relief.
Meanwhile, Damon was by the pool behind the banquet hall, looking grim.
“Identity?” Damon asked.
“Still unknown.” Nate answered nervously.
Damon’s eyes swept over Nate coldly.
“We’re still investigating, sir.” Nate said.
“You said the same thing last time.” Damon said.
Damon’s voice was flat, but the chill in it was something only Nate could feel.!
“All we know for now is that they’re both in P City, possibly waiting for a chance to see Ms. Chloe. But I feel that neither of them holds any malice towards Ms. Chloe, especially Stanley.” Nate said. Damon frowned, “Do you think I need you to tell me that?”
Nate swallowed nervously and whispered, “So, sir, do we still stick to the plah to return to P City?”
“I’m getting married!” Damon said.
Damon gave him a cold look, his voice full of anger. His long legs twitched, wishing he could kick this increasingly incompetent assistant into the pool.
Nate, sensing something was off, quickly took a step back, “I got it! I’ll get on it right away!”
After saying this, he stood in place for a second or two before hurrying away.
His boss was getting married!!! Looking at his boss’s eagerness, Nate wondered if Ms. Chloe hadn’t been meeting his needs. He was so desperate!
But with the current situation, awedding was bound to cause problems.
Once Nate left, Damon looked at the photo Nate had sent him on his phone. It was of a computer screen, black background with large white letters
[-Mr. Harper!
-Chloe is mine!!
-If you dare to marry her!
-Don’t blame me for gatecrashing!!!]
Damon’s handsome face tumed serious.
Who did this idiot think he was! Daring to steal his woman!
He held his phone tightly, his unconscious strength seemed like he was about to crush the phone.
Failing to hack into the company’s system, this idiot actually hacked Nate’s computer. Did he think he was cool telling him this through someone else?
Couldn’t even hack his computer, yet dared to steal his woman? Heh!
A wicked, indifferent smile crept onto Damon’s gloomy face.
Very well, idiot, he had gotten his attention!
He closed his eyes lightly, pinching the bridge of his nose.
At this moment, his phone buzzed again. He slowly opened his eyes, unlocked his phone and saw a message from Claud: [What do you say, if you really get married, should I crash your wedding?)
With a ‘smack“, he threw his phone on the ground without hesitation.
Claud, well done, he knew how to get attention!
Two annoying suitors!
The next second, his face darkened even more. So where did this other guy come from?
What did he want with Chloe? If he was another suitor, then he would have to take them on one by one.
Inside the banquet hall, Nathan was forced to down two drinks and saw Wendy standing in the middle of the hall with his mother.
And Chloe was always smiling, following behind Elizabeth. Elizabeth occasionally introduced Chloe to a few ladies and misses, and Chloe always greeted them with a smile.
Although Elizabeth seemed to be smiling mildly, with her elegant demeanor. As her son, Nathan could feel his mother’s displeasure.
What was going on? Wasn’t everything fine before?
Why did it seem like there was tension between mom and Chloe now?
His brother would be heartbroken if he knew!
He wanted to go over and find out what was going on, to ease the tension, but someone blocked his way.
“Nathan.” A shy voice, Sierra stood in front of him, “Nathan, did you come alone?”
“Who are you?” Nathan frowned, asking coldly.
“I am…” Sierra said.
“Don’t know you. Please move!” Nathan said.
He didn’t give her a chance to introduce herself. After he said that, Nathan walked past Sierra with a cold face.
15.00
“Nathan!‘ Sierra called out softly, but received no response.
Seeing Nathan heading straight for Chloe, she glared at Chloe, stomping her foot in anger.
Nathan strolled over to Chloe, eyed his mom who was all wrapped up in Wendy, and whispered to Chloe, “What’s up with her?”
Chloe shook her head, “Nothing.”
Then, Nathan murmured, “Nate went to talk to my brother, he’s over by the pool. Wanna go find him first?”
At this moment, Elizabeth was chatting with a high–society lady, who perked up as she saw Nathan, “Oh, isn’t this your son? Haven’t seen him for years, and look how he’s grown! Absolutely outstanding!*
Handsome, tall, and muscular, born into the cream of the crop, he couldn’t be more perfect.
Hearing this, Elizabeth tumed around and saw her own son. That handsome, proud look of his was just irresistible.
Nathan didn’t care much for the flattery, but for Elizabeth’s sake, he gave a nod to the high–society lady.
The lady’s eyes lit up again, and she quickly pulled a young girl next to he), “Dear, look, this is Nathan from the Harper family. Nathan, this is my daughter.”
Ladies who had been eyeing the Harper family saw someone outright pushing their daughter forward, and they immediately brought their own daughters, nieces, etc. up.
“Madam, this is my niece.”
“Nathan, this is my daughter.”
“Madam”
*Sir.”
A comer of the banquet hall instantly turned into a madhouse..
Elizabeth, however, seemed interested and ready to dig a little deeper. Nathan’s face turned dark. Seeing his mother’s attitude, he had a sinking feeling.
Some bold girls even ran up to him and started introducing themselves.
The chaotic scene made Nathan’s face even more gloomy. In the end, he couldn’t take it anymore, and blurted out, “I’m already married!”
