Chapter 1737
Chloe was pregnant.
Upon hearing the news, Presley found himself sitting alone in the living room of Harper’s Mansion, lost in thought
for an entire afternoon.
The video capturing the moment was playing on repeat on the television.
His gaze was fixed on Chloe, more specifically on Chloe’s belly
His eyes reflected a complex mix of emotions.
Was the child Damon’s?
It had to be e2
Despite his dislike for Chloe, he instinctively believed that she was not the type to play games with men’s hearts.
After all, with a grandson as fabulous as Damon, which woman would risk losing him for another man?
And judging by Damon’s affection for Chloe, it was almost certain that the baby she was carrying was Damon’s.
He was going to be a great–grandfather
Before this, it seemed like a pipe dream, something too far in the future to even consider. Yet, here it was,
happening for real
Robin returned from his company, utterly exhausted. The company had been under pressure recently, with minor
issues piling up one after the other Individually, they seemed inconsequential to the Harper family, but collectively,
they were causing significant damage
It was clear that the Obsidian Corporation was gradually tightening its grip on the Harper family, but after the
unsuccessful negotiation with them previously, they had become unreachable
With the upcoming Global Economic Summit, he was unsure how to face the world’s leading entrepreneurs.
He returned to Harper’s Mansion, physically and mentally exhausted, contemplating seeking guidance from his
father. He intended to leverage some of the connections his father had previously accumulated, hoping to explore
any potential collaborations that could be added, even if only slightly, to change the current situation. However,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtupon his return, he found his father in a state of absent–mindedness, staring fixatedly at the TV screen.
The maid greeted him at the door. Noticing his gaze, she whispered, “Mr. Presley has been sitting like this all
afternoon.”
Robin furrowed his brows, changed shoes, and walked into the living room. He took a quick glance at the news on
the TV and he immediately knew what had happened
Chloe had stirred up quite a storm in Country Y. She was a true troubleshooter
Never able to stay out of trouble
Always at the center of attention.
But as he watched the news unfold, it was clear to see that Ava and Barbara’s plan to sabotage Chloe and her
mother, Yasmine, had backfired. Instead of cornering Chloe and Yasmine, they found themselves in a dire situation.
Their foolishness was astounding
He had warned them not to underestimate Chloe, yet they chose to ignore his advice.
He pursed his lips, realizing that the plan to have Ava’s protection at the Country Y customs after taking over the
Harper family was now in ruins. Chloe had successfully severed that tie even before it could strengthen.
Thinking back, Chloe had caused him a lot of trouble
And now
she was pregnant
Three months along, and she had managed to keep it a secret.
His expression darkened as he pieced together the recent events.
“You’re back?
Presley was the first to break the silence. Robin snapped back to reality, masking his gloomy aura with a nod. He
unbuttoned his suit jacket and sal
down on the sofa
Looking at the LCD screen, he finally said, “I didn’t expect her to be pregnant Damon is truly impressive”
There was a faint smile in Presley’s eyes. He was evidently delighted by the news of Chloe’s pregnancy
He was finally going to be a great grandfather
However, Robin’s expression darkened once again
“Three months, which means she knew about her pregnancy when she was still here. She just chose to keep it a
secret from us. I wonder who she was trying to hide it from”
Presley’s expression turned cold
Hiding it from whom?
Chloe’s pregnancy was a big deal for the Harper family
If she wanted to hide it from someone, it had to be him.

What did she mean by this?
Was she trying to get back at him for disapproving of her marriage to Damon?
What a narrow–minded and vengeful woman.
Presley’s mind was consumed by thoughts of Chloe’s unborn baby. Everything else seemed irrelevant
Robin, on the other hand, had a lot more on his plate.
If Chloe had revealed her pregnancy earlier, Presley would never have tried to match Damon with Wendy.
Was all this trouble just to get back at Presley?
From what little he knew about Chloe, she didn’t seem like the type to hold such petty grudges.
Thinking about it now, if Chloe had revealed her pregnancy earlier, Wendy might have posed a threat to her unborn
baby. By keeping it a secret, she had
also ensured Ava and Barbara’s downfall
Even a pregnancy was used to her advantage
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWas she a genius or a danger?
This woman is truly vindictive. She even wanted to hide this from me What is she trying to do? Is she going to keep
me from seeing the baby after it’s
born?
Presley’s voice was filled with anger. The mere thought of Chloe’s possible intentions made his chest hurt.
Robin remained silent: His company was in shambles, leaving him no time to deal with other matters.
All he knew was that Chloe was a dangerous woman. If she was left unchecked, everything he had worked for could
be lost.
But right now,
he had no reason to act against her.
With her pregnancy, the entire Harper family, especially Damon, was keeping a close eye on her. Even if he wanted
to do something, there was no way he could.
His expression was weary and tinged with gloom
“Who knows what’s really going on in her mind? Damon is so utterly smitten, he can’t see straight. If she’d
announced her pregnancy sooner, you wouldn’t have been able to interfere with her relationship with Damon. He
wouldn’t have clashed with you, or distanced himself from the Harpers. If that’s the case, then this woman is truly
terrifying, even manipulating blood ties and kinship to her advantage.”
The more Robin spoke, the grimmer Presley’s expression became.
Indeed
If she’d told him about her pregnancy earlier, things wouldn’t have come to this point, Damon wouldn’t be at odds
with him, let alone leave the Harpers.
This woman was really malicious.
“Hmph! She s carrying a child of the Harper lineage, but that doesn’t guarantee her a spot in the Harpers. Being
pregnant is not exclusive, plenty of women can bear children”
