Chapter 1303
Wendy was left speechless.
Chloe looked up at Presley. “Take a good look at your beloved Ms. Alonso…” She pointed at Wendy
with a smirk. “See her for what she really is! Do you want Damon to choose her? Unless he goes
blind, he won’t make such a foolish decision.”
With that, Chloe turned on her heel and left, her t shoes tapping out a steady rhythm.
Wendy stared at Chloe’s retreating figure, her eyes filled with hostility. Chloe! Chloe!! Chloe… The
hatred in her heart was growing like weeds, choking her, making it hard to breathe.
If she didn’t get rid of it, it would crush her one day. She had to get rid of Chloe! If she couldn’t have
Damon in the end, she would not let Chloe have him either! Driving away from Harper’s Mansion,
Chloe’s lips were tightly shut, and her face was grim. She came here just to make an appearance.
Presley calling a shareholders‘ meeting was just to make Damon bow to him. And, of course, it
involved her, too.
She couldn’t just stand by and do nothing while Damon’s inheritance was threatened because of
Presley’s dissatisfaction with her. Presley was trying to make her give up Damon under the guise of
“if you love him, don’t hold him back“.
Chloe snorted, as if! She never nned to give up Damon from the start.
The Alonso family… She was curious to see how strong this family’s foundation really was.
Wendy wasn’t seriously injured, but a few cuts and bruises made it hard for her to move. With
Addie’s help, she managed to sit up on the couch, drenched in sweat. Being publicly humiliated andN?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.
thrown down the stairs by Chloe in front of everyone, she felt so ashamed she could hardly lift her
head. If Chloe hadn’t provoked her,– she wouldn’t have woken up to the reality.
Now, the atmosphere in the living room was awkward. Presley came downstairs, his lips tightly shut
and his face expressionless.
Wendy didn’t know what he was thinking, but it was hard for her to talk about what had just
happened. Chloe was ahead, she was following. If they had kept their distance, there would’ve
been no conflict. But if anyone had given it a thought, they would know that she had provoked
Chloe on purpose.
No matter what the reason, given the public nature of her rtionship with Chloe, there was
definitely nothing friendly to talk about when she called her over.
“Why did you provoke her?” After a while, Presley asked in a deep voice, making Wendy nervous.
Sure enough, he had noticed.But how could she tell Presley that she suspected Chloe was
pregnant and wanted to harm her? Even though she knew Presley didn’t like Chloe, when it came
to the Harper family’s heir, he wouldn’tpromise just because she was from the Alonso family.
She couldn’t tell Presley the truth, so she made up a believable excuse. “I…I was upset about the
engagement ceremony…”
When she thought of Chloe and Damon together at the engagement ceremony, Wendy’s heart
ached. Presley’s lips tightened. It seemed like a convincing reason.
“The arrangement at the engagement ceremony was my decision. You were slighted, that’s true. If
anyone’s to me, it should be me. But to push someone down the stairs out of revenge, did you
think about the consequences?”
Wendy bit her lip, rubbing her elbow with one hand, looking pitiful.
“Presley, you’re right. I was too impulsive…”
Presley nced at her, rubbing her elbow. “Go to the hospital for a check–up. Don’t leave any
lingering issues.”
“Yes, Presley…I’m sorry for causing you trouble.” After Wendy finished speaking, she tried to get
up, and Addie immediately helped her.
Presley looked at Addie, frowning slightly. “I thought you have left?”
Addie’s face turned awkward, and she looked at Wendy pleadingly. Wendy tightened her lips, a hint
of disgust flickering in her eyes. She was so annoyed. The situation was already tense enough, and
she had to help Addie out too?
But remembering all the care Addie had always given her, the only person in the Harper family who
was kind to her, she decided to try to help Addie. “Presley….” she called out, her voice filled with
sorrow. “On my way here, I saw Addie alone with her luggage…She’s taken care of you for so many
years, how could you…”
Presley frowned, looking at Wendy in confusion.
Wendy became nervous and quickly said, “I mean, Addie has always taken care of you. If someone
else takes her ce, you might not get used to it. Addie has taken care of me since I was little and
has always been very good to me. She was suddenly being kicked out of the Harper family. I…”
She didn’t finish her sentence, but the message was clear.
Presley looked at Addie, who was looking pitiful and sad, and sighed. “This was Elizabeth’s
decision. She’s brought up the issue with Addie many times before. If she wasn’t at her limit, she
wouldn’t bother with a servant. Since this is her decision, you should ask her.”
Wendy was speechless. Her brow furrowed, ask Elizabeth? Wasn’t that asking for trouble?
Addie’s face fell. “Presley, I’ve been taking care of you since you were a young buck, and now
you’re suddenly asking me to leave. Where the heck am I supposed to go looking like this?” With
that, her voice choked up.
Presley furrowed his brow, feeling a bit guilty. Finally, he heaved a sigh and said helplessly. “Alright,
you can stay!”
Joy instantly filled Addie’s face. She wiped her tears and thanked Presley out loud.
Wendy also gave a small smile. “Guess that’s my job done. Addie, let’s go to the car and bring in
the stuff. I should get going…”
Addie nodded repeatedly. “Okay, but Ms. Wendy, are you sure you’re okay to go? I mean, you took
quite a tumble…”
“No worries.”
In the end, Wendy insisted on driving home herself.
Once she got home, she stripped off all her clothes and saw the spread of bruises on her body, as
well as the whip marks from before, densely covering her once soft skin. It was horrifying, truly
ugly!
