Chapter 1290


    The wait was long.


    When Damon emerged from the bathroom, Chloe was waiting for him at the door, her gaze first


    landing on his shoulder. His bandage was tied pretty neatly.


    Then, she turned to Damon and whispered, "You were in there for quite a while...


    A small ripple of emotion passed through Damon as he smirked slightly. "Did I do a good job on the


    bandage?"


    He pointed to his bandaged shoulder, indirectly answering her question.


    Chloe gently bit her lip and moved into his warm, broad embrace. "Damon... I really love you:


    Damon''s eyes narrowed slightly as he pulled Chloe tightly into his arms. "If I can''t touch you, can


    you please stop tempting me all the time?"


    Chloe smiled slightly, hugging Damon''s waist tightly, and nestled quietly in his arms.


    Damon found that as long as he was with this woman, no ce would ever feel dull. In fact, he


    hadn''t left Chloe''s room for three days.


    They watched movies together and talked about thepany. Chloe shared gossips from the


    entertainment industry, updates about thepany, and even about the


    International.


    At noon, Chloe prepared lunch downstairs. Damon was


    handling business in the study next door.


    After Nate had sent through the files and work reports that


    needed dealing with, he said seriously, "Mr. Harper, rumors


    in thepany have been spreading wider and wider recently, don''t you think you should have a


    serious talk with


    Presley?"


    Damon was expressionless, seeming unconcerned about


    this.


    “How''s the coboration with PrimeVision going?"


    Nate quickly replied, "They''re probably evaluating at the


    moment, I believe we''ll hear from them soon.”


    Despite his confidence in Mr. Harper''s abilities, the scale of


    this coboration was unprecedented. The coboration


    hadn''t been confirmed yet, but Mr. Harper had already invested funds. If sessful, this would be


    the Harper


    Group''s most symbolic business coboration, and the


    benefits derived from it would be enduring. The scale of


    this coboration was making Nate a bit nervous.


    All of this depended on PrimeVision''s decision.


    Damon looked calmly at hisputer screen, his tone


    steady. "They''ll agree.”


    His gaze and tone were as if he were the decision maker of


    PrimeVision.


    Nate let out a small sigh of relief. "Then Mr. Harper, remember, the rumors in thepany...


    Before he could finish his sentence, Damon had shut down hisputer and was smiling at Chloe


    who wasing in with lunch.


    Chloe''s gaze swept over his just-closedputer, then she went to the table on the balcony and


    ced the lunch there.

    Damon had alreadye to her side, his gaze sweeping over the table, a slight smirk on his face.


    She sure could eat. Over the past few days, he had noticed her appetite had increased. Each time


    he saw her eating, he found her incredibly cute. Her appetite now was even more endearing than


    before.


    Inside the Harper Group building, people were discussing a suddenly emerged piece of news. "I


    heard that the Chairman ns to retire at the end-of-year shareholders"


    meeting."


    "Yes, I heard that too, after the Chairman retires, the next Chairman will be decided, I wonder who it


    will be?"


    “Isn''t it obvious? It''s got to be our CEO, ording to the shares, it should be him."


    “You didn''t know? Most of the employees know that the Chairman favors Mr. Robin for the position


    this time: “What? Why? The CEO has been running thepany all these years, how can there


    suddenly be a preference to Mr.


    Robin?"


    “Well, you know, at the CEO''s engagement ceremony recently, the Chairman was clearly against his


    marriage to Ms. Summers from Starlight International. He clearly prefers the daughter of the Alonso


    family, but the CEO wouldn''tpromise, going against the Chairman''s wishes, and causing the


    Chairman to be very dissatisfied with him. Plus, Mr. Robin has recently gained high reputation and


    poprity in the subsidiarypanies. With the CEO and Chairman at odds, and Mr. Robin always


    by the Chairman''s side, this is a good opportunity and Mr. Robin is taking full advantage of it.


    Everything is in his hands"


    “Oh my god, but that daughter of the Alonso family... isn''t she a total mess? If it was me, I wouldn''t


    choose to ept her either!"


    “You''re too young, in big families, interest is always the most important. In this case, you''re not just


    marrying a wife, you''re marrying the entire Alonso family, do you understand? Even if she''s a mess,


    her superior family background can''t be ignored."


    Thinking about the possibility of a major change in the Harper family, everyone''s mood dropped


    instantly. They had no idea what their future would be like.


    Meanwhile, in the Harper family, Presley was sitting in the living room, his face gloomy.


    Two days after the news was released, he was well aware of the discussions in thepany. But


    after waiting at home for two days, Damon hadn''t shown up. He released the news to force Damon


    toe and apologize. But two days had passed, and he hadn''t seen a trace of Damon. The news


    seemed to have sunk into the sea, causing no reaction from Damen at all.


    Was he willing to give up thepany for that woman?


    From a young age, he had told him not to be infatuated with anything, especially women. But in the


    end, he disregarded his own dreams and ambitions for a woman. What was going on? Did people


    have a rebellious streak? The more he forbade him from doing something, the more he wanted to


    try it?


    He was very angry and couldn''t ept Damon''s foolish actions. He was willing to do such a thing


    for a woman with no merits.


    These past few days, the servants had been walking on eggshells, doing their best to steer clear of


    Presley''s temper.


    Only Addie stayed by Presley''s side, secretly smug.


    Although Mr. Damon hadn''te back for Presley yet, she believed that he surely would.


    No one would easily give up the massive fortune of the Harper Group. As long as he came back,


    Ms. Wendy could very well be the futuredy of the house.


    Addie had just poured Presley a cup of coffee when she heard the sound of a car engine outside.


    She instantly broke into a happy smile. "Presley, it could be Mr. Damoning back!"


    Presley also scoffed. Just as he''d thought! Who would give up the Harper family wealth for a


    woman?!
