Chapter 1027
Wendy’s mo uth curved into a smile, she was waiting for this.
“Her? Compare her to the my two cousins? Nah, they shouldn’t have anything to do with Chloe. They’re too high
and mighty to notice her, right?”
“But what about RM? RM’s reputation in the country has been tarnished by her. They noticed her a long time ago,
or they wouldn’t have sent me back.” Wendy said, “This woman is really good at PR. When RM went to discuss
cooperation with her that afternoon, she refused and immediately held a press conference to provide a formal
excuse, which prevented RM from refutin The conflict between RM and Starlight International was easily resolved”
“Conflict?” Lynn noticed the emphasis Wendy put on the word conflict, her eyes shifted, and a sneer formed on her
lips.
“Such a simple thing.”
Wendy looked at Lynn’s gloomy face, her mo uth curled slightly, and said nothing more.
In the box, everyone’s mood was more or less affected by the people they had just met. Everyone talked less than
usual. Jeanette was always a bit of a loner. She used to attend gatherings and hid in the corner, her conversations
always short, and she was never the type to liven up the mood. Now… she seemed a bit at a loss.
Chloe calmly put the meat into the boiling pot. “Katie, what’s the deal with that Lynn?”
Her voice was indifferent, with no expression; it seemed merely out of curiosity.
Katie looked at the steaming pot, her expression a bit gloomy. After a while, she finally spoke slowly,
“Lynn was my only friend from my college days. I didn’t have many friends growing up because of my birthmark.
She was the one who approached me first and never looked down on me. More importantly, she also loved fashion
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdesign. We often created together, sometimes showcasing our proudest works to each other, exchanging insights…
We even agreed to create a top brand together. But she… she submitted a work we created together as her own
for a fashion design competition and won… Since then, many opportunities have only come her way… And now,
she was all high and mighty in front of me…
“Why didn’t you expose her back then?”
Katie gave a bitter smile. “She copied the original, destroyed it, and all the traces of the creation process were
erased by her. The handwriting was all hers, and I only had my words. Who would have believed me?”
Jeanette’s mo uth fell open, she murmured, “Your experience is so similar to mine.”
Chloe gave a faint smile. “Ambitious people are more driven.”
Everyone fell silent.
Yes, they had endured all the insults and contempt. They would definitely work hard until everyone regretted ever
underestimating them. “You guys be careful these days. Those guys we just met certainly got a stumbling block
from us, and they could do something.”
“Gotcha.”
Jeanette asked again, “Will there be serious problems?”
Chloe pursed her lips lightly, “Who knows?”
Just as they walked out of the restaurant, they were startled by the man standing at the door. The moment the man
saw them, he straightened up immediately and strode towards them.
He brought with him a chilly wind, walking towards them with a gloomy face. His sharp, cold gaze made them all
shrink to one side.
Chloe stopped in her tracks for two seconds, then turned around and prepared to leave in another direction. But
the next second, her arm was grabbed, Chloe tried to struggle but was forcibly hoisted over the man’s shoulder.
Her eyes widened, her legs flailing.
“You…put me down!”
Damon turned a deaf ear!
This was the first time in Chloe’s life that she had been carried like this, and she felt both embarrassed and anxious.
“You, put me down now…Miles! Come help!”
Miles looked awkward. Maybe he shouldn’t get involved in this?
“Katie!” Chloe called for Katie!
But Katie just looked up at the sky, pretending not to hear.
“Jeanette…” This name, if called, would have likely caused quite a stir.
Chloe stomped her foot in frustration! What good were they! They were no help when it really mattered! “Put me
down!” When others failed, she struggled again, only to have the man squeeze her bu tt.
“Behave!”
Chloe bit her lip, her face all red from being almost upside down.
He was wearing a slim black coat, carrying a chill as he approached, andeven his breath was cold.
“Damon, you…you’re a bandit!”
Chloe was furious, hitting Damon’s waist hard. But Damon was unmoved. He walked all the way to the car, and
Nate hurriedly opened the back door.
Damon bent down, one hand supporting Chloe’s waist, the other protecting her head, and shoved her into the car.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe car must have been running all this time, the heater on full blast. As soon as she got in, she was surrounded by
warmth.
Chloe lay on the seat, quickly trying to sit up, only to have Damon’s tall figure press down on her. His lean figure
suddenly leaned in, carrying the cold air from outside, and a strong sense of oppression forced her into the corner
of the car.
Her shoulder against the car window, her bright eyes staring at him.
“What are you doing?”
“Why is your phone off, huh?”
“… It ran out of battery.”
“There are so many people around you. How come you didn’t think to borrow their phone and let me know you’re
gonna be late?!”
Chloe bit her lip, propping herself up slightly. “…I’m mad at you. Why would I call you!”
Damon’s expression changed slightly, then he sat up straight but lifted her onto his lap. He was silent for a long
time, finally lightly kissing her on the lips.
“I’ll try to avoid being around him to keep you from getting upset.”
Chloe pouted. This man always had a way of getting to the point.
She didn’t say anything. He was too smart, hit the nail on the head, didn’t give her any chance to argue. She really
couldn’t be like other women, making a fuss for no reason.
Since he was already aware of the problem, if she continued to throw a tantrum, wouldn’t that seem overly
dramatic?
“Forgive me, will you?”
Damon looked at her, using his face that could easily fascinate people to confuse her thoughts.
