“You seem to be too clever for your own good.”
Chloe’s hand movements faltered slightly, “Really how…”
Damon didn’t ignore her subtle reaction, his dark eyes deepening even more.
“Got any plans for tomorrow?” Damon changed the subject.
“Not at the moment, you got something in mind?”
Yeah. We should visit grandma.”
Chloe nodded, “Indeed, it’s been a while since we last saw her. She mulled it over, then said, “Let’s go
early tomorrow then, spend more time with her.”

“By the way, about that Diamond Dreams you mentioned before, they’re asking for a breach of contract
fee?”
Damon looked at her, “Don’t worry about it, I won’t be coughing up any penalty fees.”
Not a trace of regret showed on Chloe’s face, instead, she said.
“The CEO of the Diamond Dreams bringing up the penalty fee so casually, he must really be in a bind
for cash. But that money would only solve his immediate problems, his financial issues are a never–
ending story.”
A flash of surprise passed through Damon’s eyes, “What do you know?”
Chloe looked at him, nodded, then continued peeling shrimp as she spoke:
“The CEO of the Diamond Dreams is a greedy man, but he acts impulsively without planning. He
wasn’t satisfied with just running a jewelry business because he’s a car fanatic and has always wanted
to own his own car brand. So, he started taking a shot at it five years ago, but it’s not an easy task.”
“Nowadays, everyone’s chasing after established brands. Clothing has Chanel, Donna Karan, Louis
Vuitton, watches have Patek Philippe, Piaget, cars have Seibel, Koenigsegg, Maybach, Rolls–Royce.
Who would spend big bucks on his no–name cars?”
“His car factory is a bottomless pit now. Most of the money he makes from the Diamond Dreams, goes
into that factory. I even heard he’s been in touch with diamond smugglers. Considering his character,
he might go down a crooked path, so terminating the contract early was a smart move.”
Damon took off his gloves, setting them aside. His eyes were somewhat gloomy, but a cryptic smile
tugged at the corner of his mouth.
“I knew about him making cars, and I also knew that his car factory is a bottomless pit. But I didn’t know
about him dealing with diamond smugglers in private. Can you tell me where you heard that from?”
Chloe’s expression shifted slightly, she lowered her head, focusing on peeling the shrimp, “Well… I just

Damon shook his head, his voice low and steady.

“No, you anticipated it. That’s why you went to that place today and ran into Keira and her team. Then
you used them to stir up a commotion, aiming to get the mall executives‘ attention. You also guessed
they’ve been wanting to end the collaboration, and you gave them a reason to end their partnership
with the Diamond Dreams. Or rather, you gave me a reason to cut them off.”
With each detail Damon pointed out, Chloe sat there, licking her lips nervously.
“Do you think I’m too cunning?”
Damon smiled, “You cleared out the entire shop, punished Keira, and helped me end the contract with
the Diamond Dreams successfully. There’s no downside for me. I’ve told you before, you don’t have to
be too kind. But I didn’t expect you to be this clever.”
