Chapter 963


    Presley paused his words, his deep eyes scanning over the faces of the two brothers, his tone


    unusually solemn.


    “Do you remember why the Alonso family chose their current hostess? She’s the niece of Queen


    Julia’s goddaughter from country Y. The Harper family may be fearless, but when an unstoppable


    force meets an immovable object, both sides get hurt. If we cross the royal family of country Y You


    do know the shipping rights in the waters of their country were obtained by us a few years ago.


    Have you thought about the consequences if the royals interfere?”


    Damon frowned and after a moment of silence, squinted his eyes and said,


    “So, are we supposed to dance to the Alonso family’s tune now?”


    i’m not asking you to be a puppet of the Alonso family. But don’t be too aggressive. Let this matter


    go. Even if you don’t have feelings for Wendy. you should treat her like a sister since you grew up


    together”

    “That’s impossible,” Damon replied quietly. He had already stood up from the sofa, his tall figure


    instantly revealed, his handsome face expressionless and cold.


    “If there’s no affection for her, then there’s no sibling love either. I absolutely won’t tolerate a woman


    who might harm Chloe around me.” “You. Did you not hear a word I just said?! Can’t you even


    pretend?!”


    “No.”


    His answer almost made Presley explode, “So what’s your n for Wendy?”


    ‘Til handle her as I see fit. Considering what you just said, I won’t kill her at least.”


    “You… You even considered offing her. You’re such a jerk! All this for one woman, you’re really…


    foolish!”


    Damon simply smirked, “Hmm.”


    Hmm? Hmm!


    Presley was so furious that he gripped his cane tightly, not knowing if he would strike in the next


    moment.


    However, Damon had already left, and the cane hadn’t moved.


    Nathan could hardly suppress hisughter. His own brother, admitting to such things without fear of


    Presley revoking his inheritance. When Damon descended the stairs, the people on the first floor


    were like spectators at a y, thedies in a group, the youngdies in another, the children yet to


    grow up in another, and a few gentlemen in another


    As Damon descended the stairs, the noise on the first floor suddenly ceased. A crying child also


    stopped crying after a hup, looking at Damon on the stairs with teary eyes. But Damon seemed


    to ignore all of this as he descended the stairs with a stern face.


    Once he stood still in the living room, his grey casual suit and white shirt, untied at the neck,


    revealed an exquisite corbone. His handsome features, aloof demeanor, and natural nobility left


    everyone slightly stunned


    Although they were all family, they had few opportunities to see Damon. As a child, it was different,


    but once he grew up, he began to take various training and education programs, then studied


    abroad, gradually took over thepany, and was busy with work everywhere. Some people were


    seeing Damon for the first time. He was undoubtedly an excellent person, making others feel


    inferior


    Damon stood there, scanning everyone who was staring at him, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.


    “What’s going on?”


    His voice was cold and steady, but it carried an undeniable power.


    The people in the living room came to their senses, but they didn’t know what to say


    Elizabeth nced upstairs and then at Damon, “Did youe straight down from upstairs?”


    Damon frowned. “I went upstairs from the side door.”


    Elizabeth didn’t insist, asking again, “How’s Chloe?”


    “She’s got a cold and is still sleeping. So she won’t being down for dinner tonight.” Damon


    calmly replied, then paused, and continued, “She said she was afraid of getting everyone sick.”


    Elizabeth sighed, “She’s worrying too much. Health is most important.”


    “Yeah, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”


    Freyaughed lightly on the side, feeling somewhat smug


    No matter how outstanding he was, he had married a woman with no family background. Once


    Presley passed away and the power struggle began, he would face great obstacles. Although she


    was from the Alonso family, Wendy’s oue was now clear, and she wouldn’t benefit from the


    Alonso family


    Fortunately, she had an obedient and promising son. He had not been back from abroad for long,


    but he was already dating a youngdy from a prominent family, which was much more prestigious


    than that international perfumer


    Did Presley really n to wait for Chloe to seed before passing away?


    Just then, two people walked in through the door, and the servant at the door greeted them. “Mr.


    Ivan


    Ivan, who had lived abroad for several years, walked in with a woman


    “You’re here.” Freya’s expression was cold, obviously trying to assert her authority as an elder in the


    Harper family.


    Ariana pursed her lips but still smiled, and Ivan led her to greet the elders. But when she saw


    Damon standing aside, her eyes suddenly it up


    However, Damon just turned around coldly and went to arrange meals for Chice in the kitchen.


    Ariana was a bit disappointed, but she poked ivan gently and asked without hesitation, “Ivan, who is


    he?”


    Freya’s face changed. This woman was having other thoughts about another man, she really didn’t


    care.


    Ivan was not a fool either, Hearing Ariana’s question, his face also sank


    “That’s my brother, Damon.”


    “Wow, he’s the future helmsman of the Harper family” Ariana’s eyes were sparkling, full of


    admiration. She then realized her behavior strange, so she leaned against Ivan’s chest, her voice


    soft and charming


    van, you’re such a looker. Must be those top-notch Harper family genes. Lucky me, having you, a


    total stud, for a future husband.” And there was that hunky brother…


    As long as she married into the Harper family, she wouldn’tck opportunities to mingle with them,


    right?


    bit


    Her delicacy and allure were enough to make anyone’s heart pound. Ivan’s throat involuntarily


    bobbed, but surrounded by so many people, he couldn’tsh out, so he just gave a slight smile and


    stayed silent.


    Damon gave some instructions in the dining room, and by the time he came out, Wendy was


    already in the living room.


    Everyone in the room was chatting andughing with Wendy, as if they were oblivious to


    everything.


    Elizabeth was standing nearby, a faint smile on her face, just going through the motions.
