Chapter 876

Damon walked to the hospital room holding flowers, and a Chloe tumed her head towards Wendy,
the smile on her face slowly faded “Aren 1 you gonnast?“.
Wendy just stared at het lowering her voice on purpose
Last night, you blocked sap”
Althis Chloe cracked a small smile
Put not the second one
Wendy frowned. “You know what I’m getting at
Chloeughed lightly, like a wisp of cloud,
“Of course, I know what you’re saying Thats why I took the p. Do you think I didn’t get pped
enoughst night?”
A chill surged up in Wendy’s heart
She found Chloe abt scary
Last night everyone was just surprised by Chloe’s identity, and nobody suspected anything else.
It seemed like a simple maunderstanding.
Eba Thought Felix was seduced by Chloe, so sheshed out at Chloe
No one would have suspected Chloe
But from what she just said, it seemed like she deed had something to do with it.
However even if that were so, nobody would have linked her to it.
She gave a slight smile, trying to seem generous “I don’t really follow. I honestly feel guilty.”

Chloe smiled knowingly. She knew Wendy wouldn’t admit thatst night Felix hade to her on
his own, causing Elsa to blow up, and that had nothing to do with Wendy.
She had no proof to show that Wendy did anything wrong or yed any role in this.
But she knew what kind of person Wendy was, and that was enough.
“You should feel guilty” Chloe looked ather, smiling, “Last night’s incident made Damon really mad.
He dealt with Felix and Elsa severely. It all happened at your party: If I were you, I’d feel guilty too.”
Wendy mped her mouth shut, “I do feel guilty”
Chloe showed no emotion and made noment on Wendy’s attitude.
But that obvious nonchnce níade Wendy feelvery ufortable.
She couldn’t articte a single word.
The air between them suddenly turned awkward.
Just then, Damon emerged from the hospital room, squinting sightly at their silence.
“What’s up?
A deep voice sounded from behind her and Wendy turned nonchntly to see Damon, managing
only a slight smile.
Nothing, Damon. Could you spare me a moment? I’d like to talk with you.”
Chloe leaned back on the couch, looking up at them.
Damop nced at Chloe, as if seeking her approval
“Wendy gripped her purse lighter trying to keep her emotions in check.
Chloe blinked lightly. “Be quick, lunch will be ready soon.”
Damon pursed his lips and walked out of the room.
Wendy watched him leave, ncing at Chloe with an indiscernible expression before following
Damon out of the room.
Once the door closed behind them, Chloe bent over to pick up the ramble on the table and turned
on the TV.
In the VIP lounge outside the hospitalroom, Damon slood by the window, his back to Wendy.
Looking at the tall and upright figure in front of het all she fell was a deep sense of powerlessness,
in addition to her infatuation.
They had grown up togethet s
he thought that apart from that being from a well matched family was her biggest advantage.
To be worthy of him, she was willing to chase after him, no matter how hard or tiring it was
The man she had never been able to reach, was now doling on another woman.
What do you want to say?”
Damon’s cold voice suddenly sounded devoid of any emotion.
So cold, it hurt.
Chloe said he was mad earlet b
uthe wasn’t mad now, so why was he even colder than before?
She took a deep breath, suppressing all the emotions in her heart.
“Damon, Elsa is in the hospital room downstairs. Don’t you think you were a bit too harshst
night…
Damon frowned, his aura clearly changing.
Are you ming me?”
Wendy quickly shook her head, “No, I just feel that she’s a woman after all and you hit her. I’m
worried it might tarnish your reputation…
“She hit my fiancée.”
A sharp pain shot through Wendy’s heart her carefully manicured nails digging into her palms.
You werent there at the time, Damon. Anyone could tell the p Elsa gave het she deliberately look
it. She had already blocked Elsa, but then suddenly let go!”
Damon’s hands clenched even fighter “The fact remains, Elsa did p her. Given that I can’t just let
it slide”
The emotions Wendy had been suppressing finally started to crumble
Damon‘ How can you be so blinded by that woman? The Bakers and the Larkins have just formed
an alliance. You tantly beat the Bakers precious daughter like that. How will the Larkins exin
this to the Bakers? Elsa is still Felix’s fiancée. Have you considered how their families will get along
in the future? The Larkins..
Wendys outburst suddenly stopped Looking at the unmoving figure in front of her, an idea that had
been lurking in her mind since yesterday’s party suddenly seemed to have be a reality
You know she deliberately took the p, nght? Nathan was there too How could he not have told
you?”
After a moment she let out a bitterugh 7 get it Her move secured her a deal for the Harpers
against the Larkin. She didn’t lose out. She’s really shrewd But Damon, have you considered that
her actions yesterday may have been to manipte you? If she wasn’t certam you d stand up for
her what would be the point of enduring that humiliation? If you know her from the start.”
“Enough”
Damon’s voice but through the at icy and ruthless He slowly turned around, his eyes carrying a hint
of chilling frost
“She s been pushed around, and theres no way in hell Im gonna sit on the sidelines. If she can’t
even trust or rely on me, then what good am I to her?”
Wendy s head was buzzing he eyes wide in disbelief as she stared at the stoic man in front of her
His words had effectively shut her up and she was at a loss for words
Dont assume I don’t get stuff you understand I’ve got my own judgment and I sure as hell don’t
need anyone to schoolme.”
Damons voc was cold and distant and Wendy’s hands clenched tightly, shaking from the tension
“You really pulling all your trust in her?”
She’s my choice”
Wendy clearly got what Damon was saying, she always had confidence in her judgement and
intuition.
After a while shechuckled softly. “Not all decisions you make are necessarily right.”
