Cicely’s gazes went nk for a moment, unable to respond.
Seeing her like this, Seth smiled faintly, his sarcastic tone making Cicely feel slightly awkward.
“You’re acting uninterested in me yet hoping I’d sacrifice for others because of you…”
Cicely frowned, avoiding Seth’s handsome face and the close proximity between them. Seth’s gaze
rested on her smooth forehead, his voice cold, but his breath warm against her skin. “I’ve already
rejected her once today, and tonight she clearly brought Mr. Harper to stir up trouble. Did you
know? If I had agreed in the daytime, she might have offered me a couple of talented artists, but
now… How many do you think she’ll arrange for me?”
You rejected my kindness, then you must ept my punishment.
Every word Chloe spoke came true.
Cicely, however, justughed at him, “After all, she’s your friend’s woman and now pregnant, don’t
you think you should lend a hand?”
“Whether I should help her or not is my business, why do you need to remind me of these things?”

Cicely mped her mouth shut, cing her hand on his shoulder, “You’re overthinking, I’m just
looking out for my boss‘ interests.”
Sethughed coldly, “Are you sure I’ll protect you and then help others gain benefits?”
“That’s your business.” With that, she pushed him hard, trying to shove him away.
But Seth stepped back before her, straightened up, and coldly eyed Chloe. “Since you mentioned
what happened during the day, I agree. You sort out your husband’s problem first.
Damon frowned, his piercing gaze still dangerously on Cicely. Seth moved forward a couple of
steps, subtly blocking Damon’s line of sight to Chloe. “If this continues, not many people can
tolerate it, are you sure… you don’t need to solve this problem?”

Seth’s words made Chloe feel a bit awkward; she tugged at the corner of her mouth. She had a
hunch that Cicely might be doing this on purpose, just to help her deal with Seth/

This had nothing to do with what happened during the day, she just brought it up at the right time,
getting Seth to agree, and that was enough. But Seth was unpredictable, and she wasn’t sure he
would agree.
Although even if it failed, she still had Damon to help her.
She didn’t expect him to agree; having her tactics exposed was indeed a bit awkward. After
thinking for a while, she nced at Seth again. This guy can be really smart sometimes.
Fortunately, his rtionship with Damon wasn’t bad enough make him her enemy. She felt
confident dealing with Wendy, but if it was Seth that would really be a challenge.
Chloe gently stroked the back of Damon’s neck. At first, Damon ignored her. But after she stroked
him a few more times, Damon looked down at her. His eyes were filled with coldness, making
people afraid.
“Don’t be angry. Seth has agreed, and Cicely was trying to help me.”
Damon immediately frowned, “What did you say?”
His words were sharp and cold, making people afraid. But before Chloe could exin, Damon
seemed to understand. “Do you think I can’t handle this, and need her to help you?”
Crap. This might have hurt his pride.
Chloe immediately shook her head, “No, it was a temporary decision by her, but since the goal has
been achieved, let’s just drop it…”
Chloe’s exnation did not help at all. Seeing his increasingly serious expression, she paused, her
eyes showing a bit of grievance.
“It’s not my fault… you’re so mad… it’s scary…”

Hearing this, Damon moved his lips slightly and looked down at Chloe in his arms. Real grievance
and pitifulness were showing on her face. His eyebrows twitched slightly, his anger gradually
subsiding. Although his face was still grim, it was much better than before, and his voice also
softened. “Alright, I won’t be mad, nor scary.”
Chloe’s lips moved slightly, but she still looked hurt, and whispered, “Cicely was just trying to
help…”
“Stop mentioning this, or I’ll really kill her.” Damon tried to restrain his inner anger, and it felt like
Cicely had “died” several times in his words.
“I won’t talk about it anymore. I won’t.” Chloe immediatelyplied. She looked at the food on the
table, then at Damon, whispering, “I’m hungry.”
Damon sighed, holding her as he turned around, adjusted the chair with one hand, then let Chloe
sit. “Eat.”
His words were full of helplessness. But it was like magic, immediately dissolving the tension in the
apartment.
Cicely didn’t expect Seth to suddenly make this decision. He already knew everything, then why…
If anyone was innocent today, it should be Rose. Why was she the only one who was officially
married but had to watch others disy their affection and get into conflicts?
Finally, it was time for dinner. The dinner was specially prepared by Damon, most of it Chloe’s
favorite. Of course, a small part was also considered for others‘ tastes. This was prepared by the
house servants ording to Cicely’s taste.
By the end of dinner, the two men had long put down their cutlery, spending most of the time
watching the three women eat. They all were well–educated since young, their eating manners
elegant and pleasing to the eye.
Cicely spent most of the time apanying others, only asionally taking a bite. Even though
her favorite dishes were in front of her, she didn’t eat much. She didn’t seem to show much interest
in food.
Seth looked at the almost untouched food in front of her, his lips gradually straightened.
“Taking over Infinity Media’s artists, that’s just your personal decision, right?” Cicely was scrolling
through her phone, not really sure about what she was looking at. She nced up at Chloe across
from her and asked.
Without missing a beat, Chloe responded, “They came to me first.”
Cicely gave a nonchntugh and gave her phone a little shake. “Do you really think Wendy,
who’s always plotting against you, would let them go so easily?”
