Chapter 961
“We’ve figured out the identity of the woman who tried to mess with Chloe. She’s the illegitimate
daughter of the owners of Horizon Wealth Management. Wanna meet her?”
Damon’s voice was ice-cold. “No need.”
He stood up, “Horizon Wealth Management might be too big for its britches. Let’s teach them a
lesson.”
Nathan shrugged nonchntly, watching Damon’s retreating figure, and asked, “Don’t you want to
know her motives?”
“No need.”
This simple sentence put a stop to all the chatter for the night.
Nathan watched Damon’s figure disappear down the hallway before frowning, standing up from the
couch, and walking out the door
Damon returned to his room, freshened up, and stood under the warm air in the bathroom for a long
time until his body was toasted warm. Then he carefully lifted the quilt andy down next to Chloe.
Chloe felt the quilt being lifted in her sleep. She didn’t feel any chill, but a warmth. The familiar scent
that came to her nose made her instinctively lean towards Damon in her sleep, and the closer she
got, the warmer she felt
Damon gently wrapped his arms around her body, leaving a kiss on her forehead. Although Damon
was by her side, Chloe’s mind was still reying the moment her mother jumped into the sea. It
happened too fast for her to stop, she couldn’t touch her body, and she could only hear the “ssh”
when she hit the water.
This scene reyed in her mind over and over, until it became her in the scene. She was pulled into
the sea by Keira. She struggled desperately, tried to call for help, then felt something pulling her
down. The sea water rushed into her ears, nose, and throat, the feeling of suffocation.
Cold bone-chillingly cold.
In the middle of the night, Chloe’s brows furrowed. Her face pale, covered in sweat, her breathing
rapid, as if someone was choking her, she even felt suffocated for a while.
Chloe, Chloe, wake up…
Chloe’s body trembled, she panicked, and as consciousness gradually returned, her breathing
suddenly became easier and she stopped gasping for air. She opened her eyes and saw Damon’s
handsome face. He rxed when he saw her eyes. Chloe’s breathing gradually calmed down, and
looking at Damon’s grim face, she grabbed his hand.
Tm fine…just had a nightmare.” Her voice was a bit hoarse. Obviously, the nightmare scared her
Damon looked deeply at her, “What do you consider as a problem? Chloe, you should rely on me,
instead of worrying about being a burden to me
all the time.”
Chloe suddenly paused; her heart felt like it was pierced. Damon leaned down and gently kissed
her lips

“Let me feel that you need me, okay?”
Chloe’s eyelids trembled slightly, “You might not fully understand how much of a salvation you are to
me. How could I possibly not need you?” She snuggled tightly in his arms, “I just had a dream. I
dreamt that I couldn’t breathe in the water, it was cold and tiring, I’m d you were there, otherwise
I might have really suffocated from a dream.
Damon gently stroked her shoulder. He felt her expectations of him were high, which put a lot of
pressure on him. He sighed helplessly. Maybe just left it that way. She was just too amazing
If she didn’t need him, then he would always follow her
She spent the whole night in Damon’s arms. Despite sleeping well, her body was too tired, she
didn’t recover the next day, but got a fever from catching a cold and was confined to bed. Feeling
weak all over, Chloe didn’t even think about going anywhere.
From the morning, the Harper family started to visit one after another
Damon didn’t tell Chloe that his family was having a dinner party tonight. Her physical condition
didn’t allow her to participate. Furthermore, the family members were not very harmonious, and his
grandfather was going to invite Wendy tonight, which made him even less willing to let Chloe attend
the dinner.
His grandfather hoped that Chloe could put the past behind her, but he couldn’t. Deep in his heart,
he was not over this situation yet.
He remembered when he first met Chloe, she was at her most vulnerable. In the hospital, she was
betrayed by Lance and Keira, ostracized by her family, survived a near-death experience, and was
barely alive.
And now, she has been tormented so much in just a few days aftering to Hong Kong, and he
needed to give her an exnation.
Chloe ate breakfast under Damon’s watch, took her medicine, and then fell into a deep sleep
In the living room, it was bustling Robin and Percy needed to deal with their respectivepany
affairs, and their families arrived one after another Elizabeth was in the living room dealing with the
rtives’ conversations.
A few people were holding embroidery tools, chatting while embroidering. This was all because of
Elizabeth’s enthusiastic rmendation,
forcing them to agree to embroidering
Seeing that it had been a morning, and Chloe had not appeared, Freya looked around the living
room and couldn’t help but ask Elizabeth,
“Didn’t you say Damon’s fiancée is here? I’ve been feeling unwell and haven’t been out these few
day. I haven’t seen her, why hasn’t shee out yet?”
Elizabeth calmly replied, “Chloe is sick, so she can’te out.”
“Oh, I hope she’s alright…
“There shouldn’t be any severe problems.”
“That’s good.
Freya smiled a bit disappointedly
Although she didn’t attend the banquet yesterday, she roughly knew what happened. Last night’s
banquet made the Alonso family so embarrassed, and today she said she was sick, she didn’t know
if it was retribution.
Another rtive, like her husband, had a smile on her face and looked kind and friendly. When she
heard that Chloe was sick, she put down her work, showing a worried expression, “What kind of
sickness, is she okay? Since we’re here, we should go and see her.”
“Yes
Elizabeth let out a sigh, shaking her head, “She’s probably resting. And… Damon explicitly stated
she doesn’t want to see any guests.” “What’re you talking about, do you consider us as guests?”
Elizabeth smiled. “This morning, Presley and I tried to visit Damon’s vi, but we were turned away
at the gate. If you guys aren’t satisfied, I can take you there.
No way, they wouldn’t want to go! Wasn’t that just asking for humiliation?
Her son was sometimes even more difficult to handle than Presley. His every move, every word
could instill a sense of dread. He clearly didn’t wand to see anyone. If they still went, wasn’t that just
asking for trouble?
Meanwhile, at Damon’s vi, Chloe just woke up and was feigning sickness to ask Damon for
something.
Damon firmly shook his head, “What do you need it for?”
“I like it!”
“All you need is to like me!”
Chloe, cup of hot water in hand, leaned back onto the bed head. “You won’t even give me a gift and
yet you want me to only like you?”
Damon rubbed his temples: “Choose something else then.”
“I don’t need anything else. What I need the most is a gun.”.
