Chapter 1174
From both an emotional and rational standpoint, Wendy should stay with the Harper family. In fact, to be fair,
Presley’s viewpoint might’ve been correct.
But every coin had two sides, If everything in the world could be fair and impartial, things probably wouldn’t be so
complicated.
Granny hit the nail on the head, how could Chloe accept to live under the same roof with the woman who had plans
to take her husband?
What the heck was this?
Watching the three cars gradually disappear at the gate, Wendy felt like a deflated balloon. She had put in so much
work, and now, everything was for nothing.
She had become a laughingstock, and now, it seemed like she was the black sheep in the family, except for Presley.
Alyssa’s words didn’t leave her any dignity. She was injured and was accused of blackmailing the Harper family?
That was a slap in the face, was she really that bad?
She was actually looked down upon like this.
She took a deep breath, suppressing the bitterness and resentment welling up in her heart, and turned to Presley
who stood behind her.
“Gramps… I think I should go. The house is in such a state. I’m really sorry, I never expected things to turn out this
way. I guess I just considered the Harper family as my own family…”
Tears welled up in her eyes, her voice shaky. Addie felt a pang of sympathy. “Ms. Wendy, don’t be upset. Presley
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdoesn’t consider you an outsider, right? How will you manage on your own now?”
“Just stick around. Those who should and shouldn’t have left. If you leave now… Presley didn’t finish his sentence,
his face stern as he walked into the living room.

“Right, right, Ms. Wendy, just stay. If you also leave, this big house will be left with only Presley, how pitiful!” “But…”
Wendy was in a pickle; she really didn’t want to stay here anymore. She came here just to get close to Damon, now
that he was gone, what was the point of staying here.
This big mansion, now left with only Presley… wouldn’t it be boring to live with him?
“Ms. Wendy, don’t make hasty decisions.” Addie suddenly said in a low voice, “Since you’re here, just stay for a
while. Make Presley happy, get along with the servants, and let them know you’re good. You’re a lady from the
Alonso family, the future head of the Alonso family, with a good reputation. When the word gets out, it will naturally
catch Damon’s attention.”
Wendy paused, looking down at Addie, “Get along with the servants?”
Addie nodded, saying, “Yes, the wife of the Harper family is responsible for housework, you can show how much
better you are compared to Chloe. Nothing’s set in stone yet, how could you give up? In life, once you miss a
chance, it will really be gone! At least don’t leave any regrets, am I right?”
Once it’s gone, it’s gone?
A spark lit in Wendy’s eyes. If she couldn’t be with Damon in this lifetime, who else could she be with? If it wasn’t
Damon, she might end up alone for the
rest of her life.
“Right, you’re still young, and the future is unknown. Giving up so easily, don’t you think you’ll regret it?”
A voice came from the side. It was Robin who rushed over from the backyard.
Wendy looked somewhat uncomfortable.
Robin smiled and nodded, “Just stay for now. Whether or not Ms. Summers can become a part of our family, is still
up in the air.”
Wendy’s heart raced, “What does that mean?”
Robin smiled, “You’ll know in a few days.”
In a luxuriously decorated room in Y Country, a shrill voice of anger rang out.
“Failed again! Such a golden opportunity wasted again! Do you guys have the ability to complete the mission at all?!
It’s been so many years, and you can’t even kill one woman?!!”
What a joke! Just one woman’s life, and it’s been six whole years! In these six years, a thousand people would have
died!
“A few years ago when Yasmine had an accident, it caused quite a stir, we were afraid of attracting attention, so we
didn’t take any action. Then she mysteriously disappeared, so accurately speaking, it’s only been three years…
“Three years?! Do you think not being able to kill a woman in three years is something to be proud of?!” The
woman’s voice became shrill again, furious at the man’s words. “Ever since she suddenly appeared in P City three
years ago, there has always been someone protecting her in secret! How many people have we lost as we tried to
take her life?!”
The room fell into silence. After a while, the woman’s angry voice rang out again. “So what now?! I can’t sleep
peacefully until she’s dead!”

looking for you! Now… if she knows someone wants her dead, she will start investigating and will eventually trace it
back here!”
“No, there’s no turning back now, you better come up with a solution quickly and put an end to this problem!”
Back at Greenfield Village, Damon took Chloe to see the alpacas kept in the backyard. Seeing the alpacas, Chloe
burst into laughter.
“How did you manage to fatten them up so much?”
Their bellies, coupled with the fur, made them look like a fluffy ball.
“They are yours, so of course I would take the best care of them.” Damon said with a smile, pulling her into his
arms from behind. “From now on, we’ll live here, okay? No one will disturb you.”
Chloe held a leafy branch in her hand, teasing the alpacas, “I remember the first time I came here, you said that
this place would eventually be my home. You’re really something, I didn’t have any feelings for you back then.
Couldn’t I be with someone else?”
Damon smiled faintly, “That just wouldn’t be possible.“,
“You were that confident?”
“I’m richer than others, and I know how to make money. I’m taller, and way more handsome. I’ve never had any
past relationships, and I wouldn’t give other women the time of day. Why wouldn’t you like me?”
Chloe smirked. “Is that how you see yourself? Talk about being full of yourself,”
“That’s the truth,” Damon replied quietly, “Plus… I won’t let anyone get near you. That way, I’m the only one in
your world. You don’t have any other options.” “There are plenty of choices. I just wouldn’t choose anyone else.”
The grip Damon had on her tightened slightly, “Not even Stanley, right?”
