Chapter 1456


    "What''s this?"Chloe took the documents and asked.


    "This is what Phoebe asked me to give you."


    Chloe, who was about to open the document, paused. She looked down at it, her gazes deep in


    thought. After a while, she retied the half-untied string.


    "Don''t you want to open it?"


    Chloe shook her head, "No need, I can probably guess what''s inside."


    She sighed and leaned gently against Damon''s chest. "Sometimes, I''m grateful for my past


    experiences. At least now I know how to protect myself, and I have the ability to do so. I used to be


    like Phoebe, naively living in a world I thought was fair, thinking that as long as I asked for less,


    there wouldn''t be too much pain and sorrow. But we all overlooked other people''s greed. When


    we''re satisfied with our current situation, there will always be people who aren''t.


    "If possible, I don''t want to be so defensive, and I don''t want to hurt anyone.


    "I used to wonder why my life was so difficult, why I was always facing countless problems to solve.


    Later, I realized it was because I had too much."


    Keira obstructed Chloe everywhere because Chloe had a good life in the Summers family from the


    start, with superior living conditions and a wealthy fiance. At that time, what Chloe had was the life


    that Keira envied.


    Later, Wendy made things difficult for Chloe because Chloe had the best man in the world and


    became the only candidate for Mrs. Harper. Everyone was envious.


    Now Chloe was the princess of Y Country, so she can sense that there would be more things


    waiting for her to solve in the future, which she can''t easily get rid of even if she wanted to escape.


    Damon gently patted Chloe''s shoulder and kissed her forehead. At this moment, all promises


    seemed so pale.


    "But I''m proud of everything I have now." Chloe suddenly said. "Like you, no one dares to covet you


    in front of me."


    Damon chuckled softly, "Hmm, I''m your best trophy."


    "Yep." Chloe responded casually, "Let''s go back home. I guess the Alonso family should be settledText ? owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    by now. What about the Harper Group? You still have a big battle to fight."


    "Let''s talk about it after I deal with the hospital thing."


    Chloe said with augh, "There''s nothing left to deal with. Becky has been beaten pretty badly. You


    came here to back me up. Who knew I would actually end up bing the granddaughter of the


    Queen."


    Damon raised an eyebrow, "So I didn''t get a chance to show off this time?"


    "Your presence here is the best performance."


    "Then let''s go pay our respects to the Queen and then head home."


    There were indeed many things to deal with at home.


    -


    There had been a lot of news at home these days. The Alonso family and the Harper Group had


    both be the focus of the news.


    "Why do I feel likeughing so much? What''s going on? Ms. Summers is really awesome."


    "That''s so satisfying! I was almost suffocated a few days ago! Every day, I watched Ms. Wendy brag


    about her rtionship with Princess Ava from Y Country, feeling like her rtionship with Princess


    Ava was better than with her own mother!"


    "Ms. Summers is iparable in tactics. That Wendy either brags about being the heiress of the


    Alonso family or uses Princess Ava as a shield. Now Ms. Summers is the Queen''s real


    granddaughter."


    "Look at how crazy Wendy was at the banquet. She totally deserves it. It''s so satisfying to watch."


    "Also, Presley from the Harper family, what a fool, not knowing what went wrong, insisting on forcing


    Mr. Harper to marry that lunatic, even threatening him with the inheritance rights of the Harper


    family. This time, Damon simply didn''t want to be the CEO."


    "They thought they had something important to threaten, but they didn''t realize that they couldn''t


    evenpare the Harper Group with Ms. Summers."


    "Thinking about Ms. Summers makes me feel powerful. Mr. Harper even gave up hispany for


    her. How romantic!"


    "I''ll take a dozen of such men, please."


    "Dream on, such men only exist in heaven."


    "God!!! The Alonso family is so tenacious! The stock has been falling daily, howe they suddenly


    announced a coboration with Princess Ava’s family from Y Country!"


    "What?"


    "The stock trend of the Alonso family is also rising."


    Amidst the mockery, the Alonso family suddenly announced their coboration with Princess Ava’s


    family, and news of receiving arge amount of investment funds spread quickly online.


    At this time, Chloe was on the ne. When she saw the news, she couldn''t help but sigh, "The


    Alonso family is really tenacious."


    Damon nced at the news on her phone screen and curled his lips. "Do you want to go to Las


    Vegas?"


    Chloe frowned, "I''m not in the mood to y now..."


    Her voice got softer and softer, and finally, her gazended on Damon''s face, "Am I?"


    Damon nodded with a smile, "Yeah, you''re right."


    So the ne stopped at the nearest airport for a bit of refueling, and then headed straight for Las


    Vegas. They ate and rested normally along the way, the flight attendant''s service was attentive, and


    the treatment was top-notch.


    By the time they arrived in Las Vegas, Chloe was more excited than ever. Her eyes were even


    brighter, twinkling as if they were full of stars.


    Seeing her excited expression, Damon couldn''t help but feel good. "You''re that excited?"


    Chloe turned to look at him, then shook her head, "No, I just feel that it''s great to step on the


    ground."


    Damon looked at her skeptically.


    Chloe turned her head away, no longer looking at Damon. "Where''s Rhys now? Are we going to find


    him now?"


    Damon pulled Chloe into his arms and got into the car that had been waiting for them. "Let''s have


    breakfast first."


    "Mm, yeah, breakfast." Chloe didn''t object at all. Her happy expression made it seem like she


    wouldn''t oppose anything he said. Especially since they decided to go to Las Vegas, the sparkle in


    her eyes never faded.


    "Mrs. Harper, you seem pretty excited abouting to Vegas. You hiding something from me,


    huh?"


    "No." Chloe shook her head.


    Damon leaned in, looking directly into her eyes, squinting, "Were you a gambler, Mrs. Harper?"


    "Absolutely not!" Chloe crossed her arms in front of her, her tone firm.


    Damon looked at her for a while before sitting back. "What do you want to say to Rhys when you


    see him?"


    Chloe shook her head, "Why would I have anything to say to him?"


    Damon looked at her and asked, "Then why did youe to Las Vegas?"


    Chloe blinked, counter-asking, "Didn''t you say we shoulde?"


    "I was asking your opinion."


    "You seemed eager toe here, so why did you suddenly want toe to Vegas to find Rhys?"


    Damon suddenly sneered, his gloomy smile made Chloe shiver. He said coldly—


    "To see his strengths and to take him down."


    Such a vengeful man!
