Chapter 1237
“Whatever happened between you two, I want to make it clear today. If you insist on being with
Damon, I won’t leave him a dime of my shares. If you really want to leave him with nothing, then go
ahead!”
Chloe nodded slightly again. “I suggest you get some rest then, so you can attend Damon’s and my
engagement party the day after tomorrow.”
“I will attend the engagement party. Presley’s words surprised everyone, who didn’t expect him to
cave in so easily after the argument.
Chloe squinted her eyes at Presley. Obviously, she was skeptical about what he said. She didn’t
think that after all that he said tonight, Presley would still agree to the engagement party as
nned.
She was waiting for Presley to say something, but he remained silent. He sighed deeply, stood up,
and left. Robin also rose immediately, assisting Presley. Chloe watched coldly as Robin helped
Presley leave, her lips pressed into a thin line
Things couldn’t always go as one hoped. If they were against Presley, others would take advantage
of it. The current situation might’ve been exactly what Robin wanted to see. Or maybe, everything
was in his n…
“Really, there are all kinds of shameless people. Chloe, you seem to have a lot of them around
you.”
Rose stood up from the sofa, her face dark but trying to remain calm. If you really wanted to nitpick,
Rose was clearly provoked to make such a veiled insult to Presley in front of Royce. Now, calling
him shameless was showing him enough respect.
Chloe nced at her, intentionally slowing down her voice. “Mind your own business Go to your
room and rest.”
Rose pouted, feeling a bit guilty that she hadn’t been able to contribute much as a best friend. “I’m
not that frail…”
Royce spoke up at this point, “Presley won’t give in so easily. There might be some twists and turns
at the engagement party.”
His gaze fell on Chloe, “Damon has probably arranged for someone to protect you, but no matter
how hard he tries, he can’t protect you as well as you can protect yourself. The key to preventing
certain things is still you, understand?”
Chloe nodded. “I understand.” Only by taking care of herself could she avoid causing real trouble for
Damon.
“You must take good care of yourself.”
Chloe tipped up the corners of her mouth and nced sideways at the man. “If I insist on being with
Damon and he ends up with nothing, you’re really okay with that?”
Royce nced lightly at Chloe and asked, “Would you let him lose everything?”
Chloe smiled. “Of course not.”
“That’s right.” Having said that, Royce looked at Elizabeth in his arms, and had a servant bring a
coat. He put it on Elizabeth himself before leaving with her. Elizabeth choked back tears and said,
“Honey, I didn’t expect you to trust Chloe so much?”
Royce rubbed her shoulder and said, “She’s smart. But our child should be even smarter, right?”
“Yeah, that’s true.”
At nine o’clock in the evening, Chloe got up from the sofa in the living room and walked out of the
vi. Standing at the door, she looked at the entrance not far away. All was quiet.
The security guards in the yard patrolled in shifts every so often.
At nine–thirty, there was still no movement at the door.
At ten…
She held her cold phone tightly but didn’t make any calls. Because Damon had left in a hurry,
saying he had an emergency, she couldn’t bother him.
At ten–thirty, Chloe was cold to the bone. Looking at the quiet yard, her heart filled with unease and
loneliness.
“Miss, you should wait inside.” Marina brought a cup of hot water and handed it to Chloe, her voice
soft and slow.
“Marina… Damon should be back by now.”
“He alwayses back. Come inside and wait!… Oh, look at you, you’re cold as ice. As a woman,
you need to take care of your health, or you’ll have trouble getting pregnantter.”
Chloe’s eyes flickered.
“Come on, let’s go inside! Go back to your room and have a nice bath to warm up. Maybe by the
time you’re done, your husband will be back.”
Chloe nced at the door and nodded slightly.
Marina led her inside, saying, “You need to get used to this. Men always have to work and often
come homete.”
Chloe didn’t say anything, and just went straight upstairs. She took a bath to warm up. But when
she came out, Damon was still not back.
She took out her phone and called Damon, but the phone was off. She frowned and called Nate, but
his phone was also off. She bit her lip, thought about what Marina had told her, and put her phone
aside. Men needed to work and sometimes came homete, it’s something she should get used to.
When she woke up the next day and saw the untouched bedding next to her, Chloe’s heart started
to worry again. Women could get used to mening homete But noting home at all, should
they get used to that too?

She nced at the time, got up and freshened up. Then she called Damon again.
Still off. What happened? Why didn’t hee home all night, and why didn’t he leave any
messages?
She took a deep breath and suppressed her anxiety. When she came downstairs, Elizabeth saw
her and immediately frowned. “Why do you look so pale?”
Marina also nodded in agreement on the side. “Indeed, did you catch a cold waiting for Damon
outsidest night?”
Royce’s eyes darkened a bit. “Damon didn’te backst night?”
Marina nced at Chloe and eventually nodded silently.
Royce’s eyes becamepletely gloomy. He looked at Chloe and said, “He didn’t leave you any
messages?”
Chloe shook her head slowly, “Maybe he had some emergency business to deal with.”
Royce’s expression flickered. A subtle change, but enough to show his annoyance.
Seeing this, Elizabeth quickly said, “Maybe there’s some real important stuff going on. Chloe, you
don’t look so well, I’ll get a doctor in here for you.”
