Chapter 1166
Perhaps his grandpa really did try to steal his wife. Could it be the Alyssa standing in front of him?
“Did this old man steal you away from my grandpa? Was he the home wrecker?”
Stanley was blunt, voicing his thoughts without any subtlety Maybe he was pissed by Presley, or
maybe it was intentional
Stanley’s words made Presley so angry that his eyes nearly popped out, while Alyssa was grinning
from ear to ear. “Yes, if it wasn’t for him, you might be my grandson now!” “Granny!” Stanley was
intentionally provoking Presley As soon as Alyssa finished speaking, he called out to Alyssa as
‘granny‘
“Im not his grandpa
“My boy!” Alyssa let out a joyful cry, utterly ignoring the furious Presley next to her.
“How are your grandparents, are they doing well?”
“Maybe
Stanley answered vaguely, then sat back down on the sofa.
After that Alyssa and Stanley chatted for a while before returning to the main topic. “I heard you
guys were attacked in West Valley today. Did you figure out who did it?” Stanley nced at her,
“Shouldn’t you first ask if anyone got hurt?”
Alyssa raised an eyebrow, “Since I heard about the attack, how could I not know if anyone got
hurt?”
“Fair point”
Chloe pursed her lips, shifting her gaze to Alyssa.
Everyone knew Presley was entric, but maybe Alyssa was too. She didn’t directly ask, nor did
she show any worry or concern, but in fact, she had a clear understanding of the situation
Presley was now quiet, obediently sitting on the sofa, not saying a word. He always knew that
Alyssa had been looking out for him behind the scenes.
Chloe suddenlyughed. These two actually had a unique understanding of each other in their own
way. It was a kind of romance that belonged only to them.
“Chloe, take some time off to heal at home. Let Damon handle your work for now.” Alyssa didn’t
continue discussing the attack in West Valley and shifted the focus to Chloe
Chloe smiled, “It’s not a big deal, really.”
“Still, you should rest. Your engagement party with Damon ising up. If you’re not healed, we
can postpone it.”
Chloe tightened her lips, she didn’t want to. “I will take care of myself.”
Only then did Alyssa smile, tenderly patting Chloe’s hand.
Suddenly, a hand reached out from the side and took Alyssa’s hand away. Stanley looked at Alyssa
with an annoyed expression, “My dear Alyssa, Chloe can’t marry your grandson! She’s my woman.”
Just as he was about to put his hand on Chloe’s shoulder, Damon pped it away and quickly
swept Chloe into his arms, heading upstairs.
Stanley looked at his pped hand and then at Chloe being carried away. His eyes widened and he
gritted his teeth. “Shameless!”
Alyssa chuckled, “Young man, Chloe prefers Damon.”
“What, does she hate me?!”
“You can’t force feelings.”
Stanley took a deep breath, looked at the Harper family members in the room, bit his lip, and said, “I
don’t have time for this!” before heading out the door.
Nathan, who had been standing there with his hands in his pockets and with a dashing, carefree
look on his face, saw this and followed.
In the yard, Nathan patted Stanley’s shoulder from behind. “Hey, buddy.”
“Buzz off.”
Nathanughed, “No, I can’t just stand by and watch Chloe be threatened.”

His smile faded a bit, “Mr. Stanley, let’s talk. We both don’t want anything to happen to her. Instead
of you bearing it all alone, why don’t we work together? That way we can better protect her, right?”
“Buzz off. I’ve been protecting her just fine for years, I don’t need your help.”
Nathan raised an eyebrow, “Are you saying that for years, someone’s been out to get her?”
Stanley’s expression changed, he pushed Nathan away, “Get lost! Don’t think you can trick me into
saying anything!”
“Mr. Stanley Nathans tone became more serious, “Regardless of the truth, I don’t know how well
you’ve been protecting her before, but today, in my opinion, you didn’t do a very good job”
Stanley scoffed “Id like to know, why did those people dare to act in public? And how did they
manage to go unnoticed? West Valley is Harper family territory, right? Someone easily tried to take
her life on the Harper family’s turf, and now you’re telling me you want to help, do you really think
I’m stupid?! I don’t know the internal situation of the Harper family, but under these circumstances,
forget about holding the engagement party.
With that, he stormed off, radiating a cold and ruthless aura
Watching his retreating figure, Nathan’s expression grew more solemn.
Back in the living room, Elizabeth asked worriedly, “Why didn’t you keep questioning? Does Mr.
Stanley know something? He was just at the shooting range.
“It’s only natural for him to be wary of us. After all, Chloe almost got into danger on Harper family
territory Whether he was arguing with dad or beating around the bush with mom, he was
deliberately avoiding the issue from the start. If he doesn’t want to talk about it, no one can force
him to
Royce patiently exined to his wife. His thoughts might seem scattered, and on the surface, he
appeared quite casual, but in reality, he was very intelligent. Despite his young age, he seems
totally get the idea of hidden wisdom“”
Elizabeth listened quietly, as if finally understanding why Presley and Alyssa didn’t push it on that
issue.
As for why someone would want to target Chloe in West Valley, that was still a mystery.
The living room was eerily silent, everyone’s faces were grim.
Chloe was ced on the bed in the bedroom, and then Damon released his hold on her.
