Chapter 849
Presley instantly scowled. giving Damon a chilling look befo:he barked. “Are you for real?
Just as Damon was about to respond, Presley out him off with a shout, “Think before you speak!” There was a stem
waming in his eyes.
Damon squinted, his lips twitched as if to say something, but Chibe gently hell his hand
“Can you tell me what I did wrong?”
Presley’s gaze snapped to her, “And what’s it got to do with you?”

The atmosphere in the room tightened once again, even Robin’s smile had faded. Everyone else also put on serious
faces. Presley’s fury was so intense, it was rare to see.
But Chloe didn’t look mad or the least be flustored or scared She just held Damon’s hand tighter, looked up at
Presley, and sakl with a smile, I just don’t want to put Damon in a light spot, Grandpa Presley. If you two are
beefing, let me take the heat. After all, I’m also
involved”
Presley s eyes flickered At Chloe’s calm face, his rage slowly subsided. She really was a cool headed woman.
After a while, he suddenly chuckled
Do you really think I’d pick a fight with you and Damon
Chloe calmly looked at Presley. I think you know him best.”
Presleys gaze sharpened He glanced at her hand lightly gripping Damon’s.

He snorted, “You’re a smart cookie, so ask yourself, what makes you think you’re good enough for him? Damon’s
going to head the Harper family. As for the lady of the Harper family, how do you think you’re up to it?”
Chloe blinked, quietly said, “In a nutshell you’re looking down on my family background.”
Presley’s eyes widened. Her directness made him look a bit stiff and conventional!
You don’t need to get mad, you want a perfect match, I get it. But what if I tell you today, Darhon loves me, that’s
reason enough for me to be with him, and that’s reason enough for me to be the future lady of the Harper family.
Can you accept it?”
Everyone in the room fell silent, their eyes filled with irony and complexity.
Love?
“You might all think, it’s the most ridiculous, childish, inesponsible reason. But this is the facts
Chloe took a pause, laughed as she looked at Presley, and slowly said, “Whether you accept it or not, this is the
reality
“You…” Presley instantly got angry and glared.
“Feeling is something nobody can control, including Damon himself. Since he chose me, who can force hiin?”
“As for the perfect match…I’m not really sure to what extent amatch is perfect if we’re talking about wealth, power
and influence, I don’t think any family can really match the Harper family. If that’s the case, fothers can do it why
can’t!?” “You’re pretty good at expressing yourself! Even though other families can’t match the Harper family, they
at least have some autonomy.even potential support. But you, what can you offer him?”
Wendy stood on the side, the comer of her mouth lifted slightly. This predicament was a gap this woman could
never bridge in her lifetime.
“Whatever I have. I can give him. My only shortcoming is that I wasn’t born into u big family. But I might not be part
of a big family now, that doesn’t mean I won’t be in the future. Depending on family resources, I’d rather stand on
my own two feet!” The implication being, what was so great about taking advantage of the foundation left by the
family, her own‘ achievements were more qualified. Her words were calm, but they sent shivers down the spine!
Such words, coming from a woman, were simply arrogant and disrespectful Where did she gel such strong
confidence?
Presley looked at Chloe, his eyes sparkling with excitement, This woman, shdd got someguls.
You talk a good game! But, you still can’t guarantee what you can bring to him!”
“Enough.”
Damon’s deep and steady voice rang out his lone flat, but it startled everyone. He stood up, pulled Chbe off the
sofa, his eyes meaningful
“Am I really so incapable that I need a woman to bring me something?”
His words were plain, but they held a bone–chilling coldness.
“You… You’ve gone mad. completely bewitched by her!”
Presley never expected that his grandson, whom he had always been satisfied with since childhood, would actually
refute him.
Damon clenched his lips, his gaze darkened.
Tm perfectly sober.”

“Sober my ass!” Presley finally lost it, pointing at Damon and bellowed, “Did she tell you to bring her here bday? Did
she?!”
Chloe pursed her lips–indeed she did.
“What does a woman want in her life? All she wants is the title you give her the future lady of the Harper family!
You think it’s great to announce her to the world, huh? Did you think about the consequences?! Did you?!
“She sweet talks you and you lose your mind. She might not understand, but don’t you?.
“How many people are waiting to catch you off guard, find your weak spot?! What you’re doing, is putting her in the
line of fire! Making her a sitting duck!
“When I said she’s got no background, do you think I’m looking down on her?! If she had a better background,
people who want to use her to control you would think twice! But her? Other than dragging you down, what good is
she?!”
Chloe felt a pang of bitterness, even though she had thought about this before, but hearing il now, she realized how
hard Damon had been trying to protect her.
He was actually a very confident man.
But since he didn’t want to see her get hurt, he was trying to protect her in every way possible. He was willing to
lower his status, even his dignity, to participate in those women’s social events, all just to protect her…
“I won’t let anything happen to her,” Damon said in a low voice.
“So you need to put more effort into protecting her! At crucial times, you’ll even get distracted because of her
Presley scolded loudly again. After a while, he closed his eyes deeply and spoke again, his voice filled with
helplessness and disappointment
“Damon, how could you.. could you allow yourself to have a weakness…”
