Chapter 1188
Chloe and Mr. Stanley had always had an unusual bond, and now, Mr. Stanley was silently guarding
her!
Holding on for five years was no easy feat, let alone facing fifty assassination attempts by
professional hitmen within those years. Who could have possibly imagined the sacrifices and costs
involved? How would Chloe feel if she found out about this?
Among all those rivals or other men in Mr. Harper''s eyes, Stanley was the only one he really cared
about. Even more so now.
The room door opened, and Wendy and another woman were still standing at the door. Seeing
Damon and Nateing out, they rushed into the room without a second thought.
The outside temperature was normal. The sweat on
Wendy''s body had dried, but the sweat seeping into her scars still made her wounds throb.
"Mr. Harper.’ Wendy called out softly, enduring the pain and fear in her body.
Damon coldly watched her pale and haggard face, his icy expression deepening a bit.
Wendy suddenly felt a chill run through her entire body, an unnamed fear causing her heart to
tremble continuously.

"Mr. Harper... Did you call me out for something?"
“How stupid are you to ask me such a question?” Damon suddenly said in a cold voice, his gaze
and tone devoid of any warmth.
Wendy bit her lip tightly and fell silent in embarrassment.
"In the horse racing, not only did you lose, but you also lost miserably. In the shooting match, you
lost again. And in the sudden situation, you were even moreughable! Wendy, think about what
you''ve done since we met again in Hong Kong, it''s been a total mess.’
Wendy''s face suddenly turned pale.
"I''m not hurting you this time, Wendy, not because I pity you, and certainly not because Presley is
protecting you, but because Chloe won''t let me hurt you, and I respect her wishes. But there won''t
be a next time. This is myst warning to you, behave yourself. Next time, the person in that cage
will be you:
Wendy''s eyes widened in fear, and her legs gave way. She fell to the ground right in front of Damon.
Damon gave her a cold nce, then strode out. Nate followed him out and saw Damon off to his
car. "Mr. Harper, what about Galen and his mother?"
“Let them leave"
"Yes, sir’
Damon drove off by himself, leaving Nate to handle the aftermath. He arranged for a medical team
to rescue the man called Galen in another room. Galen''s mother also regained consciousness.
"Your son is being rescued, and Mr. Harper didn''t hit his vital points." Nate exined to her,
reassuring her. As she cried, she nodded repeatedly.
"For years, your son has tried to harm Chloe multiple times.
If it weren''t for someone protecting her, she probably would have been killed by your son and
others.”
"l''ll understand. He brought this on himself! Thanks to Mr. Harper for sparing his life."
Nate didn''t say anything more, turned around, and left the rescue room. He then blindfolded Wendy,
led her to the car, and drove off. In the car, Wendy didn''t say a word. Her face, including her lips,
were devoid of any color.
Chloe woke up after sleeping for more than two hours and found that Damon was not in the room.
She sat up, tidied her hair, and then got out of bed. She thought Damon would be in the study
dealing with his seemingly never-ending work, so she yawned and headed towards the door,
nning to go to the study to find him.
However, just as she was about to open the door, she found
Damon standing outside. He was dressed in a dark suit, looking somewhat gloomy.
Chloe was a bit surprised, she looked at his suit, and asked,
"Where are you going...”
Before she could finish her sentence, Damon walked towards her. She instinctively backed away,
but he pushed her against the wall in the corridor.
Before she could react, he kissed her passionately. Chloe blinked, trying to push him away, but he
held her tightly. Her body was pressed against his, and his kiss left her breathless. She could tell
that Damon''s mood was a bit off, but she didn''t know why.
In the end, she could only ept his kiss, until he stopped.
He still didn''t let her go but pressed her forehead against his chest. Their breaths intertwined,
passionate and hurried.
Chloe clung tightly to his suit cor; Damon was silent, his eyes fixed on her face. When her
breathing gradually calmed, Chloe asked him, “What''s wrong?"
Damon didn''t answer, he lightly kissed her eyes, then her nose, cheeks, and finally her lips again.
"Chloe." His voice was low and affectionate, making her heart race.
"I''m here.” Chloe gently lowered her head, her eyshes trembling slightly as she heard his voice.
Damon held her tightly, as if trying to wrap her tightly in his arms.
Chloe leaned against his chest, feeling the strong unease in him, and she could only hug his waist.
"Damon... What''s wrong?"
"I realized I love you very much.’
Chloe smiled faintly, hugging Damon even tighter. After a while, she let him go, looked up at this tall,
handsome man, and said with a smile.
"You just realized?”
Damon chuckled, "Yeah."
Then, Damon stared intently at the woman in his arms, watching her furrow her delicate eyebrows
to different heights.
"You just realized?" she repeated, her voice slightly raised.
Looking at the vivid face in front of him, Damon was increasingly convinced that he really loved this
woman very much.
Otherwise, why was it... that even when she made such peculiar expressions, he still found it
adorable?
"Every time I realize it, I feel I love you more than before”
His handsome face, deep and charismatic voice, and the passionate confession... all made Chloe
feel a burning sensation on her face. This man’s existence was a crime!
"Is confessing love like this a natural skill for men?"
However, Damon''s face turned slightly serious. "Who else has said such things to you?”
