Chapter 996
Presley coughed awkwardly on the side, his authoritative voice revealing a hint of unnatural stiffness.
“Can’t you ladies pay attention to the occasion when speaking?”
Alyssa grabbed Chloe’s hand tightly, pulling her behind her, and shot a sidelong glance at Presley.
“Can you guys really blame us women for chatting when you guys do things without regard for the occasion when you’re all hyped up?”
Presley’s face turned beet red, “… What do you mean doing things without regard for the occasion? You….”
“What? You want me to go into detail about some of your past actions now?”
Alyssa retorted, staring straight at Presley with a calm expression, as if she wasn’t the subject of the conversation.
Chloe blushed and sneaked a glance at Presley, whose face had turned flushed. Despite the signs of age on his face, it was clear that he was quite a lady killer in his youth. Being born into a prominent family, his temperament naturally stood out.
But she hadn’t heard of any scandals from his youth. Even now, many wealthy men had several mistresses, but he only had his wife back then. Despite her somewhat difficult personality, in matters of the heart, he had always been loyal to her. The dynamics between these two were truly baffling, but it was clear that they both held a place in each other’s hearts. Elizabeth, sitting off to the side with a faint smile on her face, seemed unfazed by the bickering between the two elders. Wendy was sitting on the couch, while Elizabeth played on her phone.
“Wendy, how’s that charity clothing brand of yours doing? I saw on today’s hot search that Beverly’s dress looks really nice.” Chloe raised an eyebrow, a hint of sarcasm flickering in her eyes.
After all these years, Elizabeth was now living a happy life. The only regret was that she couldn’t fully let go of the regret her parents left her.
You can’t deny that Wendy’s celebrity influence was a smart move. Beverly was currently a popular celebrity, full of fashion sense, and had become an internet celebrity with high exposure. Having her endorse a brand that was not very well–known clearly gave; it a leg up. To win over Elizabeth, it seemed she really put some thought and effort into this.
“Yeah, the brand has been registered, and Beverly is doing great.”
Wendy continued, “I’ll stay in the country for now to build up the brand.”
Elizabeth’s brows knitted slightly, and she didn’t say anything for a moment.
Seeing this, Wendy grinned and went on, “The development potential here is much greater than abroad, and my parents fully support my decision. Besides, with you here, I can see you often and under your care, my parents won’t worry about me.”
As she said this, she hooked her arm around Elizabeth’s, leaving her no room to refuse. After all, Wendy was a child she had watched grow up, so it was only natural for Elizabeth to take care of her. But now, knowing full well what Wendy was up to, she still let her stay by her side?
“…I can’t stay in P City for long. Once Damon and Chloe’s wedding reception is over, I’ll have to leave.”
Wendy smiled, “I think you won’t be able to leave. Once Damon and Chloe get married, I bet they’ll have a child soon. You- definitely won’t want to leave once you have a grandchild.”
Mentioning a grandchild, Elizabeth’s eyes lit up, and she turned to look at Chloe’s belly.
“Of course…
Alyssa was even more thrilled, laughing heartily as she held Chloe’s hand.
“The child of Chloe and Damon… my great–grandchild, will definitely be wonderful.”
Alyssa held her hand and encouraged Damon, leaving Chloe a bit overwhelmed.
How could Damon possibly….
“Sure, I’ll do my best.”
Chloe pursed her lips, her face turning red, unsure whether to feel shy or awkward.
She couldn’t help but glance at Wendy again. Wendy was the one who brought up her marriage and child with Damon? Was she already over him since she was so open about it?
Looking at Elizabeth’s relaxed expression on the side, Chloe smiled faintly.
After dinner, everyone sat on the couch chatting. What interested Elizabeth most now was the gown, and she asked Wendy s tol of questions about it.
Damon and Chloe sat together in a corner of the couch. Chloe was discussing the idea of filming a TV series with him
“I think it’s a good idea, I’ve already signed the contract, and I’ll let you see the script when we get home.”
“The company just went through a transition, isn’t it too soon to start filming a TV series?”
“Don’t worry, I’ve got you, right?”
“Huh?”
Chloe grinned at him, whispering “If we lose money, it’s on you”
“Heh…”
Damon chuckled, clearly enjoying Chloe’s earnest little mischief. Not many people had seen Damon laugh growing up. He was always quiet and hardly ever smiled or talked. Though his laughter was soft, it still caught the attention of a few people in the
room.
Chloe was leaning against the couch, with Damon sitting next to her. His long arm was draped over the back of the couch, not on Chloe’s shoulder, but the two were sitting close together, looking like they were embracing.
He used to be a handsome man with no emotional expression, but now he was looking at the woman in his arms with a loving and tender gaze.
Chloe continued, “You should consider becoming an investor. You handle the funds, and I handle the work.”
“So if we make money, it’s yours, but if we lose, it’s on me?” Damon asked with a light laugh.
Chloe shook her head, “That’s too unfair, if we make money, I’ll give you half.”
It would be too outrageous if he had to bear the loss alone, but she kept all the gains.
“There’s no need to give me half. It’s all yours.”
The man’s voice, deep and sultry, resonated in her ear, the huskiness carrying a certain magnetic charm that had Chloe’s ears involuntarily blushing.
“Is this okay?”
“You’re mine, babe. What could possibly not be okay?“.
