Chapter 1182
Tucked under a massive shooting range in West Valley, there was a hidden underground dungeon.
From the outside, it looked like any other nd building, but it was nestled in the back hills, lower
than the main entrance.
This was where vehicles came and went in secret, and where outsiders were absolutely forbidden.

Wendy stood at the entrance, her heart filled with anxiety. Ever since she left the Harper family in
Nate’s car, her eyes had been covered. She’d tried to fight it, and Nate had even taken off the
blindfold once. But that had caused the car to stop.
“If you’re not willing to cooperate, Mr. Harper might not be able to see you. Ms. Alonso, please get
out of the car.”
In the end, to see Damon, she let Nate blindfold her again.
It wasn’t until they reached their destination that her eyes were uncovered. Looking at the
completely unfamiliar surroundings, she felt uneasy and anxious. But in front of Nate, she kept her
composure, acting like the sophisticateddy she was supposed to be.
If Nate didn’t know her so well, he might have been fooled by her act. In the past, like most people,
he’d assumed she would be the woman to end up with Damon. This wasn’t a strong assumption,
because he figured that even if Wendy did end up with Damon, it would only be because Damon
had no other choice. Perhaps it was because Damon didn’t like women that Nate had this
misconception.
But now, it seemed that the only person who had been clear–headed all along was Damon. Maybe
he’d seen through Wendy’s true nature from the start, and never thought about ending up with her.
Nate, on the other hand, obviously had a much shorter sight than Damon. No, maybe Ms. Alonso
was just too good at pretending.
Otherwise, how could she have fooled so many people?
It wasn’t until he met Chloe that he gained a deeper understanding of her. Ms. Alonso was always
two–faced. On the surface, she was the graceful Alonso family heiress, but deep down, she was far
from noble.
Chloe’s appearance was just a catalyst that forced Wendy’s true nature to surface.
She was full of superiority, arrogant, dismissive, jealous, cunning, childish, foolish… All of these
traitsbined to create the person she was today. She looked down on everyone else, so she
believed Chloe wasn’t good enough for Damon, always trying to undermine her. Yet every time, she
failed to achieve her goal in a foolish manner. She had gambled her reputation and waspletely
oblivious to it.
Sometimes he really didn’t understand how, after all the disgraceful things she’d done, she had the
nerve to appear in public again. Why did she assume people would choose to forget the past, stop
holding her ountable for her previous actions, and forgive her?
Her arrogance, conceit, jealousy, cunning, childishness, and stupidity were allid bare, and the
root of it all was her baseless sense of superiority!
As the heir to the Alonso family, these two identities indeed gave her a sense of superiority. But her
superiorityplex was simply annoying. He wished that one day, someone would trample it
underfoot!
“Nate, where are we? Is Mr. Harper reallying here?” Wendy asked in a genteel anddylike
tone, but her voice was surprisingly calm.
“Why do you think I had to blindfold you all the way here? He’sing.
Wendy bit her lip, standing awkwardly in ce.
She had her answers, but the way the first question was answered made her feel a bit
embarrassed. Since she was blindfolded all the way here, asking where here was a stupid
question.
She nced at the other guards from the Harper family standing at the entrance. Their faces were
expressionless, but she felt a sense of humiliation. But Nate was Damon’s most trusted assistant,
and even she didn’t dare to offend him lightly.
So she chose to stand silently.
Half an hourter, a ck sedan slowly drove in. Wendy watched the car nervously and
expectantly, her eyes barely blinking until it stopped.
Nate immediately walked towards the car, but Damon got out of the car first, his tall figure standing
in front of the car, his deep eyes slightly lifted, scanning the forbiddennd in front of him. His
handsome face was expressionless, cold as if he were born without any expressions.
Seeing Damoning, Nate paused slightly, his face became more serious, and quickly walked to
Damon’s side.
“Sir.”
“Hmm.” Damon responded indifferently, closing the car door, and walking towards the dungeon
entrance.
“Damon.” Wendy timidly called his name, and Damon finally gave her a nce. But there was no
warmth or emotion in his eyes, his aura was different than usual, making her both nervous and
enchanted.
“Damon….when Nate took me away today, Grandfather was also there…” The underlying meaning
of her words was to remind Damon that he couldn’t harm her because his grandfather wouldn’t
allow it.
Damon understood. He stopped, turned to face her, his tall figure looking down at her.
Wendy held her breath, not daring to look up at him.
“This time… I won’t touch you. His voice was so low, the tone so soft, that even though his words
lacked emotion, they still sounded captivating and gentle.
Wendy was thrilled, and she immediately looked up at him, her eyes filled with excitement and joy.
“Follow me.”
But she didn’t see Damon’s face because he had already turned his head and was walking towards
the entrance.
She hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed. Nate followed closely, his lips tightly closed, not
saying a word. Everything that needed to be said had been said over the phone, there was no need
to say anything else now. He was also d that he had already exined everything over the
phone. If he had to say it face to face, he probably wouldn’t be able to handle the indescribable
pressure from Damon!
Nate took the lead, activating the voice lock. The thick steel door, after getting the go–ahead from
the smart system, slowly swung open to both sides. They breezed through a couple of security
checkpoints, finallynding in a humongous, wide–open room.
