Chapter 1271
Ever since he got the news about Yasmine, he rushed to B Country overnight and then rescued her
right after, dealing with obstacles one after another and even having a bullet in him until just now.
So, it was no surprise that his body was inmed and he was running a fever.
The door to Damon’s ward room was quietly opened in the middle of the night, and the person with
Damon immediately stood up.
“Chloe…” Nathan called softly, and Chloe quickly walked to the side of the bed.
Seeing Damon passed out on the bed, her eyes instantly reddened. Nathan quickly waved his
hands at her, “Chloe, don’t cry, please don’t! If my brother knew I told you all this and made you cry,
he’d kill me!”
Chloe held back her tears. “…I’ll stay with him tonight.”
N?velDrama.Org owns this.
Nathan seemed a bit troubled, “…well…”
“I’ll leave before dawn, I won’t put you in a difficult ce.” Chloe knew what Nathan was worried
about.
Moreover, she wouldn’t stay. Otherwise, wouldn’t it mean all the patience he had endured along the
way had been in vain? Was he just trying to keep her from knowing he was hurt?
Nathan finally nodded, “Well…he might need to be wiped down with alcohol if his fever gets worse.
You’ve been working hard. Don’t tire yourself out too
much.”
“Okay.”
Nathan tiptoed out of the room, and Chloe sat by the bed, reaching out to touch Damon’s forehead.
His forehead was covered in sweat. Her fingers trembled slightly. She didn’t know the details, but
she knew it was all for her. From the fact that Damon didn’t refuse when her mother asked her to
leave with her at the engagement party, it was clear that her mother knew about his injury.
So they both tricked her, all just to keep her from knowing he was hurt.
After several days without sleep and being injured, Damon felt his originally hot body being covered
by waves of coldness, the heat subsiding, and his slightly furrowed brows gradually rxed…
The next day, the engagement party at the Emerald Pce the night before had the whole P City
buzzing.
“Ms. Summers‘ fiance is actually Mr. Harper of the Harper Group?!”
“Yasmine isn’t dead! She’s back!”
I
“Yasmine is giving the Alonso family as a wedding gift to her daughter! How generous!”
“Ms. Grace was a stripper! Aristocratic secret exposed, revealing the past of the homewrecker who
rose to power!”
One news story followed another, but there was no mention of Damon being injured and rushed to
the emergency room, nor of Becky being beaten up.
?
Most of the onlinements were mocking Grace and Wendy, and although it was obvious that the
Alonso family was trying to control thements, they couldn’t stop theizens‘ attacks.
Cole flew overnight from Hong Kong to P City, and the first thing he did was p Wendy. “Look at
what you and your mother have done!”
As he said this, he threw the newspapers and magazines in his hand at Grace’s face.
On them were pictures of her working at a strip club many years ago, the reason her child was borni
prematurely, and how she bribed the hospital to forge the birth dates on her two children’s birth
certificates.
In the papers, they spected that his ex–wife’s death on the night of childbirth was not due to a
difficult delivery, but was deliberately murdered. Of course, there was no evidence, and it just stirred
up public sentiment.
If things continue like this, it was inevitable that Grace would be investigated by the police.
Grace didn’t expect Yasmine to have so much evidence. Now that it was all out, she didn’t even
have a chance to refute it.
“Cole, not everything in the reports is true, you know how the media likes to exaggerate. I’m a
mother. I wouldn’t gamble with my child’s life.”
“Then tell me, did Alicia’s death have anything to do with you?” Cole sharply questioned Grace, his
gazes like a knife.
A sh of panic crossed Grace’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared. “I was in the delivery room at the
time too. Didn’t she die from a difficult delivery?”
Cole stared at Grace for a long time before he slowly said, “Grace, most people who think others
are fools are the real fools themselves, you know?”
Grace didn’t understand.
‘Like this engagement party, even if the family supports you, do you think Damon would
compromise on everything? Even if he didn’t show up at the engagement party, do you really think
he has to ept you?”
Wendy shook her head, ‘As long as we’re engaged, no matter what Chloe does, she’ll be seen as
the homewrecker in other people’s eyes. And besides, as long as Damon and I have the chance to
be together, I don’t think I’m worse than Chloe. I thought everything would…”
“You thought? You thought Damon would be someone who would put the overall situation first?
Who would put aside his own feelings for the sake of the family’s honor? You thought just because
you’re the Alonso family’s daughter, he would like you and would eventually fall in love with you?
You thought…you thought everyone was as foolish as you thought, and in the end, who’s the most
embarrassed?!”
Wendy was stunned by Cole’s shouting. Yes, that was what she thought.
Most importantly, she loved Damon more than anyone in this world, and she had the ability to give
him everything he wanted and help him achieve all his goals. Was that wrong?
At least for now, Damon and Chloe’s marriage is indefinitely postponed, that’s enough.” Thinking
about this, Wendy was still satisfied. The Alonso family’s wealth as a wedding gift for Chloe, what a
pipe dream.”
Seeing her unrepentant look, Cole was so angry that he ended up losing his temper. “Do you think
I’m just talking nonsense? Do you even realize that it’s because of your improper and disgraceful
behavior that Alonso Corporation’s stocks have already plummeted?”
Wendy’s face suddenly turned pale as a ghost.
However, the news at the engagement party was already public knowledge, so it was only natural
that the stocks of Alonso Corporation would be affected.
Yasmine switched off the TV, her expression calm.
?
Bryson whispered respectfully at her side, “Yasmine, the Alonso family’s wealth is massive, this little
hup might not mean much to them.” Yasmine gave a slight smile, speaking slowly, “No matter
how small the hup is, as long as it exists, it’s enough. Their hearts are always trembling, and they
might falter at any moment. Maybe in all that shaking, they might capsize.”
