Chapter 1252
Everyone was at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond to this woman who didn''t seem to
care about others’ feelings.
“You...’ Danielle was so pissed off that she couldn''t utter a word.
Cicely simply chuckled, herughter filled with a myriad of emotions, like understanding, serenity,
and a touch of mockery.
“But given today''s circumstances... Chloe is my boss, Damon is Seth''s brother, and we might not
have the mind for anything else."
So, if it weren''t for today, they would be up for other stuff?
This thought made Danielle feel miserable, and she couldn''t say a word even when Cicely
gracefully turned and left.
Angie and Phoebe, oblivious to theplicated rtionship among these people, felt awkward for
Danielle for a moment, then redirected the conversation. "We only have half an hour left!"
The private jet they booked could onlynd at the airport.
Damon had just gotten off the ne and hadn''t even left the airport before he was surrounded.
These were the Harper family''s bodyguards, and Damon recognized them instantly.
“What do you guys want?" Damon frowned, his icy voice causing the bodyguards to turn pale and
shiver in fear.
“We..."
"Damon, back so soon?" A thick male voice echoed from a distance, and Robin''s figure appeared in
sight.
Damon''s heart sank. “What''s this about?"
Robin smiled faintly, but it was a smile filled with reluctance.
“This is Presley''s doing."
“Presley''s doing what?"
“Heh: Robin let out a lightugh. "He''s against your marriage with Ms. Chloe."
“Do you think his objection matters?"
"That''s why I''m here.’ Robin sighed with resignation.
“Damon, Wendy is ady of the Alonso family. Marrying her is the right choice. Why can''t you
understand what everyone else does? What can Chloe bring you? She''s nothing but a burden."
Damon nced at his watch, his expression so gloomy it could drip water. He looked at the thirty or
so bodyguards behind Robin, then turned his eyes to Robin himself.
“Didn''t see you so enthusiastic about pairing me up with the Alonso family before."
Robin''s smile faltered slightly. "...But I didn''t object, did I?
Everyone thought you and Wendy would end up together.
Who would have thought you''d suddenly choose another woman?" Robin seemed to have found an
eptable excuse, and the smile returned to his face.
But Damon just stared at Robin quietly, his expression calm but his eyes dark. This made Robin,
who was over twenty years his senior, feel a chill.
After a while, Damon spoke in a calm tone, “Robin, what are you afraid of?"
Robin''s heartbeat quickened, and his eyes squinted slightly.
“What have I got to be scared of?"
Damon looked at him coldly. "Then get out of the way."
“You''re injured." Robin changed the subject, his gaze falling on Damon''s shoulder. "Guys! Get
Damon to the hospital, now!"
Several bodyguards immediately stepped forward. "Damon, let''s take you to the hospital first."
“Get out of my way!"
Damon stood in the bright hall, his figure like a sturdy statue. The pressure he exuded made the
bodyguards tremble slightly.
“Damon''s badly hurt! I told you to get him to the hospital!
Can you take responsibility if anything happens?!” Robin suddenly yelled, his voice resonating
powerfully, intimidating everyone in the room. Everyone knew he was usually easygoing, and this
sudden outburst, in contrast, was extremely effective.
The bodyguards got even more anxious. Damon''s injury was a fact, and Robin had already ordered
them to take him to the hospital. How could they take responsibility for anything that might happen?!
Immediately, someone stepped forward, intending to forcibly take Damon away. Suddenly, footsteps
echoed from outside, and a group of people in ck uniforms instantly surrounded them.
“Who are you?!" Robin''s smile vanished in an instant.
“Why are you so concerned about someone else''s pain?"
A cold voice rang out, the sound of dress shoes hitting the floor approached, and a tall figure
appeared in the crowd.
“Robin, long time no see"
Robin''s face turned even colder when he saw who it was.
“Indeed, it''s been a while"
Seth slightly tugged at the corner of his mouth, his eyes gleaming with a teasing light. "Since we''ve
run into each other, we might as well catch up."
Robin didn''t respond, but when he looked up, he saw that Damon was about to leave. As Damon
passed by Seth, his deep voice echoed. "You''rete!"

Seth simply tugged at the corner of his mouth again, offering no response.
“Damon!” Robin yelled in a stern tone, attempting to stop Damon, but Seth just stood there quietly, a
hint of mockery on his face.
He didn''t move, but his men immediately stepped forward to block Robin. In the spacious hall,
Seth''s men and the Harper family''s bodyguards stood ready, weapons in hand, prepared to strike at
any moment. Their vignt eyes seemed to suggest that any slight movement from the other side
would trigger a brawl.
The only ones who remained unmoved were Damon, and Nate, who was pushing a wheelchair
behind him. The woman in the wheelchair was wearing a hat that obscured her face, her head
slightly lowered. One could only see half of her side profile, making it impossible to identify her.
Seth''s gaze casually swept over the woman, his eyes flitting about, but he made no sound, just
offering a slight smile.
“I''m sorry, but Damon has some more important matters to attend to."
Robin was seething with rage, but after a while, he let out a cold chuckle.
“It''s already toote. Even if he rushes over now, everything''s already set in stone"
Seth also offered a slight smile. "Seems like you don''t really understand what kind of person Damon
really is."

Wendy was getting showered withpliments by group after group of people. From the grin
stered all over her face, you could tell she was totally digging being the center of attention.
