Chapter 997
Chloe glanced at Damon, who raised his eyebrows slightly, his smile utterly charming.
“So are you in or not?”
Damon nodded, “I’m in, as long as you give me a kiss.”
With that, he leaned his handsome face a bit closer to her. Chloe’s face turned bright red, and she put a hand on his shoulder to keep him from getting any closer.
“Stop fooling around!” Grandma was always right – men really didn’t consider the occasion when they acted!
Feeling a weird vibe in the living room, Chloe subtly turned her head, leaning back on the couch, casting a casual glance at everyone present.
Alyssa seemed quite pleased with their relationship, grinning widely.
“Just look at you two, so lovey–dovey. Why don’t you just tie the knot right now?”
Hannah nodded beside her, “Alyssa’s right. Besides, everyone in the family already treats Ms. Chloe like one of us.”
Alyssa chuckled, casting a satisfied glance at Chloe, “I’ve always had good taste. I knew Chloe was perfect for Damon the moment I saw her.”
Flattered by the old lady and Hannah, Chloe blushed from head to toe.
“Grandma..”
“Look, she’s blushing.”
Alyssa pointed at Chloe, chuckling merrily.
Everyone in the living room joined in the laughter. Wendy also laughed, but her face was somewhat stiff.
“…No matter what, it should be a grand occasion, Chloe, have you decided on the dress you’ll wear for the engagement? I believe your engagement banquet will be quite an occasion, won’t it? You can tell me your measurements, and I can have someone customize a set for you. By the way, Alyssa and Elizabeth, I can also help you customize yours.”
Elizabeth turned her head, “You mean… your new brand?”
“Yes. This could be a good opportunity for you all to help me promote it.”
At this point, Alyssa said, “I’ll pass. I wouldn’t want to ruin your brand.”
“Alyssa, you’re still young and stunning, so graceful. People would be envious, how could you ruin my brand? I’ll get Jacob to help you get all dolled up. And of course, Chloe, Jacob can be the stylist for your engagement party.”
She suddenly turned to Chloe, her superiority evident in her tone.
Sitting there, Chloe casually said, “No need. I’ve chosen my engagement dress, and I’ve already found a suitable stylist.”
Wendy looked a bit disappointed, glanced at Elizabeth, then smiled, “What a pity. I was kinda hoping you could help me promote my brand. But, is the stylist you booked reliable? Jacob is now a world–renowned stylist. Your engagement party will probably be quite lively, and you can’t afford any slip–ups… People love to nitpick these days. Don’t give them any ammunition.”
“Are you implying that if I don’t hire Jacob, I shouldn’t have my engagement party?”
Chloe’s tone was rather unfriendly. She really didn’t have much patience for Wendy’s insincerity–and flattery. Upon hearing this, Wendy’s face turned somewhat pale, “…That’s not what I meant. I just hope that there will be fewer regrets in your engagement process with Damon.”
“Thank you for your concern.”
Chloe said this coldly, then fell silent.
Wendy kept her lips tightly closed and remained silent. A smile appeared on her face, showing a restrained stubbornness.
Surrounded by the Harpers, she looked lonely, as if she had been wronged. It made it seem as though everyone in the Harper family was bullying her.
Presley always cared about dignity. Seeing this scene, he felt a bit awkward. What was their whole family bullying a young girl for?
He was about to say something, when Alyssa spoke up, “Alright, let’s call it a day. We’re all tired.”
Presley turned to look at her. Alyssa squinted at him and he shut his mouth. He cleared his throat, “Hmm, we’re all tired. Let’s
wrap it up for today.”
“Ms. Chloe, Damon, would you like to stay over tonight?”
have
Damon stood up, “No need. We have work tomorrow. It’s not very convenient here.”
He then assisted Chloe in getting to her feet, led her to the door, helped her into her coat, and tightly bundled her up with her scarf.
Wendy stood behind them, her face gloomy.
Chloe felt Wendy’s gaze, but she didn’t look at her from beginning to end. Only when Damon went to get the car, did the two of them have a moment alone.
“I saw you at the entrance of the Film City today. Did you get anything?”
“Yes, quite a lot.”
Wendy smiled, “That script that no one else wanted?”
Chloe frowned, turning to look at her, “Have you been watching me?”
Wendy didn’t answer, just smiled, which was as good as admitting it.
“Ms. Alonso, I really can’t understand. Even if Damon and I weren’t together, do you think he would choose you? Is it worth it to be so determined to oppose me?”
Wendy scoffed, “Maybe it’s just hard to swallow. I’ve grown up with Damon. Although he’s never had any romantic feelings for me, everyone thinks we’re the perfect match. Suddenly, a woman with no background like you comes along, how could I accept that? “What can you give him? Love him? I think I can love him more!
“You’re just an accident, Chloe. Without you, Damon wouldn’t have other options, and we would naturally be together.
“Also, the humiliation I’ve suffered because of you is unbearable. Every time I think of it, it makes my blood boil. I just want to take it back double from you. We’re probably, naturally enemies.”
Chloe scoffed, “I really feel quite innocent. Just dating, getting married, but it attracts an opponent like you. I never intended to have anything to do with you, but I was forced into this fight.”
“Why did you choose Damon as your boyfriend? Besides me, there are others, there are always a lot of people around him waiting for an opportunity. Your enemies are too many.”
Chloe watched the slowly approaching car, smiling, “Even though I really don’t want to deal with your irrational obsessions, you keep pushing my buttons. I can’t just sit here and wait to get hit. I’m not one to look for trouble, but I’m no pushover either.”
Chloe stepped off the steps, “Ms. Alonso, in the end, I must warn you, dial down your overconfidence and get a grip on reality. You’re not as tough as you think, and others are not as weak. The key point here is, what you’re offering isn’t something everyone wants. If you insist on being my enemy…well, everything has a price tag. Don’t expect me to go easy on you.”
