Chapter 1118
Chloe’s gaze shifted from Lance to Herschel. She had already felt the powerful vibe radiating from
Herschel, but Lance was a familiar face, so she
noticed him first.
She looked at the man in front of her/her face expressionless for a moment of surprise. Wasn’t this
the guy who was with Stanley at No. 8 Mansion before? Her expression suddenly became guarded,
and her body involuntarily leaned towards Damon.
Herschel noticed her movement and then turned his gaze to Damon. Their eyes met, their vibes
shing fiercely in front of the elevator doors. After a moment, they both withdrew their gazes
almost simultaneously.
Herschel once again focused his attention on Chloe, while Damon took Chloe out of the elevator.

As Chloe passed by Herschel, she turned her head to look at him. Despite the strong aura of this
man, she didn’t feel any hostility or danger. She was quite curious about this man. Why was he with
Stanley at No. 8 Mansion? And why did he send people after herter? Why was he there now?
Would she miss something if she left now?
She started to slow her pace and Damon, sensing this, stopped as well.
Herschel, standing to the side, watched them, a faint smile on his lips at Chloe’s hesitation, but his
gaze turned to Damon, his eyes dark.

He got straight to the point. “I’ve been looking for her, but if–you want to take her away, I won’t stop
you. I haven’t figured out what to say to her yet. I’ve been living here since before you guys found
me.”
Having said that, he pressed the elevator button. The elevator doors slowly opened, and he stepped
in, leaving no chance for Chloe to hold him back. Chloe actually wanted to hold him back, Herschel
guessed right.
She got it, this man believed she would seek him out! In that case, she wouldn’t waste her time
waiting. But he didn’t seem to give her a chance. He seemed steady and mature, but thinking about
his hasty departure, he seemed to be a bit eager to avoid her.
Damon stood in ce, his eyes deep, lost in thought.
“Damon…”
“Let’s go.”
Damon knew what she wanted to say, but he decided to take her away first.
Chloe looked puzzled and nced towards the elevator. Only Lance was standing there, looking at
her anxiously. She remembered how in the hospital’s” security corridor, Lance had held her tight
and told her he wanted her. She turned her head and followed Damon away.
Lance watched her leave with an expression of disgust, he could only smile bitterly in his heart.
What did hee back for when she was in trouble? To give her trust and reliance? Did she really
need him?
As soon as Damon got to the office, Nate was called into his office.
“Mr. Harper.”
Nate looked at Damon who had not yet taken off his coat, his face bing serious. Obviously,
this time he was called in, and it was definitely not a small matter.
“Any progress on B Country I asked you to investigate?”
Nate immediately became serious, “There’s some unusual activity at the presidential pce. It’s
heavily guarded, and the servants haven’t been changed for many years. They’re busy preparing
for the state banquet in Y Country, and they seem to attach great importance to this banquet. As for
why, we’re still investigating.”
Damon frowned. He was very clear about Nate’spetence, otherwise he wouldn’t have kept him
by his side for so many years.
It’d been a few days, but only surface issues were being investigated, which annoyed him.
However, considering Herschel, he could understand. That guy was not simple, if he wanted to
guard against something, he wouldn’t let anyone find out easily.
Looking at it this way, the president of B Country, who could cultivate such a person, was certainly
not ordinary
Damon took off his coat, sat in his office chair, his dark eyes slightly squinted, and silence filled the
room. After a while, he slowly said. “How can B Country and Chloe be linked?”
Herschel suddenly appeared to find Chloe, and the clue could only be found from the connection
between Chloe and B Country.
Nate was silent for two seconds, then said, “Maybe Mrs. Harper inadvertently offended them?”
Damon shook his head, “They don’t seem to intend to harm her.”
Nate smiled, thinking of an action movie he had seen recently, he half–jokingly said, “Is the
president of B Country Mrs. Harper’s long–lost father?”
These were all his experiences from watching movies. If B Country sent people to find someone, it
was either an enemy or a rtive. As soon as he finished speaking, he realized he had made a
mistake and immediately became serious. But Damon was staring at him, making Nate regret what
he had said. He was using his movie watching experience to analyze Mrs. Harper’s life. Was he
nuts?
“…Father?” Damon’s deep voice was full of doubt, he murmured, as if really considering this
possibility.
Nate was stunned, “…I was just guessing.”
“Isn’t Chloe the daughter of Nick Summers?”
Yes…”
Damon contemted, his gaze deep.
fter a while, his eyes suddenly became cold.
“Go check if any of the staff at the presidential pce have been reced in the past six years, and
whether there have been any mentions of things that wereter blocked or banned from discussion.
Look at whoes and goes to the presidential pce, all the goods in and out of the presidential
pce, including daily necessities, need to be thoroughly checked.”
Nate immediately sprang into action, a chill running down his spine. Six years… So Mr. Harper
meant…
His face became even more serious, “Yes,”
Nate hurriedly left, Damon’s face was still cold.
As a man, everyone had their own position and persistence on certain things. He could totally go
and ask Herschel, to see if it was really as he suspected.
But a man’s sense of honor prevented him frompromising with another man when he had the
option to do so but instead opted not to. Not to mention he needed this cooling–off period. If things
were really as he suspected, then Herschel’s decision to bail today kind of made him skeptical.
What he had to spill to Chloe, might be more than she could take in stride. If that was the case, then
it was no biggie if they didn’t meet face to face.
