Chapter 1383
Cole was seriously bummed out. On some levels, he got it. She was young and naive and needed to experience life
and grow up. But what the hell was happening now?
Did her life experiences and growth really need to be paid for at the expense of the entire Alonso family? What was
the point then?
Cole’s words, drawing a stark contrast between Chloe and her current predicament, felt like a fire had been ignited
in Wendy’s heart. She was in agony. Grace frowned, “The problem has already occurred. Now is not the time for us
to fight amongst ourselves. We need to figure out a solution! Why are you blowing your top at our kid?”
Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath, Cole said, “Judging by her recent actions, if I hand the Alonso family over
to her, she will run it into the ground.” A gleam sparked in Wendy’s previously blank eyes, and she quickly looked up
at Cole.
Grace’s face darkened instantly, “What are you implying?”
Cole snorted, “What else could I mean? Only those competent can lead! She is not the only qualified kids I have.”
Caught off guard, Wendy scrambled up from the floor. “Dad, I’ve been studying abroad for years. I know I’ve been
impulsive and have made many mistakes! But you can’t just not give me any chances. Can I follow you into the
company? I promise I only want to learn about management, and I won’t be impulsive again, Dad, please, give me
one more chance.” Wendy pleaded.
Cole looked at her, “You still want to join the company? Aren’t you embarrassed enough? Want to throw yourself

more embarrassment!”
Wendy’s heart sank, “Dad, the Y Country’s state banquet is in a few days.”
Cole’s eyes bulged, “With all the stupid things you’ve done, everyone at home and abroad knows about it. And you
still want to go to the state banquet? Do you even know what shame is?”
Wendy shook her head, “But I already promised Becky, and I’ve mentioned in front of the media that I’ll be there. If
I don’t go, who knows how they’ll ridicule me.”
Cole wasn’t in the mood to continue this discussion, he waved his hand impatiently, “Enough, stop talking, I don’t
want to talk about this now” “Dad.” Wendy sounded wronged.
“Enough, Wendy, stop talking! Go back to your room and rest.” Grace said.
“But.” Wendy said.
“Stop causing trouble for your dad” Grace shouted.
Grace suddenly raised her voice, giving Wendy a hint. Wendy clamped her mouth shut, gave Cole one last look, and
silently went upstairs. No matter what, she had to make it to the Y Country’s state banquet.
Not only was it a matter of her dignity, but once abroad, she wouldn’t even have to lift a finger – there were plenty
of people who disliked Chloe She was eager to see how things would end up with Chloe
At Harper’s Mansion, Presley sat in the living room with a gloomy face. Ever since the meeting, he had been in a
foul mood. This time, Alyssa came back to Harper’s Mansion with Presley too.
The atmosphere had been tense for quite some time.
“You came back to see me make a fool of myself?” Presley asked angrily.
Alyssa huffed, “Yes! I want to see what your lifetime of dignity looks like now!”
Presley gasped for breath, “Are you satisfied now?”
“Of course I am! But I don’t know if you’ll continue to act foolishly!” Alyssa said.
Presley remained silent. Alyssa watched him for a moment, then said, “I warn you, from now on, stay away from
the Alonso family! No matter what your relationship with them was before, please draw the line now! The Alonso
family’s veiled threats have been annoying me. Now that this has happened, I’m actually quite pleased. If you dare
to help them again, Presley, our marriage is truly over.”
Presley furrowed his brows at this, “You want me to stand by and do nothing?”
“You actually want to help the Alonso family? Do you still want Wendy to be Damon’s wife?” Alyssa asked.
“That’s totally different! Even without Wendy, how can I just stand by and let the Alonso family face trouble alone?
Presley said.
“How are they different? Chloe’s mother said she wanted to give the Alonso Corporation as a wedding gift to her
daughter if you help the Alonso family now, when will Chloe truly become part of our family?” Alyssa said
Presley’s face darkened, “Who agreed to let her marry Damon?”
“Indeed, I shouldn’t have discussed thus with you What’s the point? But I want to tell you, if you continue like this,
not only did Damon give up his position as chairman of the Harper Group, he might give up the entire Harper family
for Chloe in the future! You keep meddling in his life, and you will face the consequences yourself” Alyssa said
After finishing, a hint of disappointment flashed across Alyssas indifferent face. She had nothing left to say to him.

So be it. Damon and Chloe had their own plans
However, standing outside the door at this moment, Damons face was gloomy, his eyes flashing coldly Chloe stood
by his side, her lips tightly closed.
silent. She hadn’t expected that Presley would actually consider helping the Alonso family. This was unexpected, yet
not surprising. But thinking about it, she couldn’t help but feel a pang of regret.
Damon lingered for a moment, ready to leave with Chloe, but she held on tightly to his hand, heading towards the
living room. “Since we’re here, we might as well go in.”
They walked into the living room, Alyssa was about to leave, but her face darkened even more when she saw Chloe
and Damon had arrived together. “What are you guys doing here? You think life’s too chill and decided to stir up
some shit?”
Chloe chuckled. “Are you leaving? The dinner’s not even served yet, how about we go back and have dinner
together?”
Chloe forced a smile. Her voice was calm and gentle. Alyssa, who had a soft spot for her, naturally didn’t turn her
down.
Chloe glanced at Presley, pursed her lips a bit, then said, “1 want to apologize to you. The words my mother and I
said at the board meeting were really out of line. As for the Alonso family’s matter, I just heard something about it.
I truly suggest you stay out of it. If you insist on meddling, it won’t make any difference.”
Presley said, “Beat it! I don’t need you to tell me what to do! I’ll help the Alonso family no matter what, and even if I
don’t, someone else will. No matter how bad Wendy is, I’m willing to accept her as a member of the Harper family,
but I will never agree to you joining my family!”
