Chapter 1548
Chloe remained silent as Damon poked her chest with his finger.
"Listen here, Chloe, your heart now belongs to me. I won''t allow you to share your feelings with
anyone else. Without my permission, you''re not allowed to make space for anyone else in your
heart. It''s mine, it''s in my control, and it only has one job — to keep beating in you. Got it?"
Chloe blinked lightly and felt a bit relieved. "Wow, you''re so bossy.
How can there only be room for you? What about mypany, my mom, and Rose..."
Before Chloe could finish her sentence, Damon turned around and started to tug at her clothes.
"Enough; he said, "I might as well just rip it out!"
"Hey... don''t... I''d die..." Chloe chuckled, finding Damon''s childish antics amusing and heartwarming.
She ced her hand over her chest, pretending to stop Damon''s actions.
Damon paused, looking at her seriously. "Good, you know you''d die if I ripped your heart out. If you
dare to allow it to misbehave, I''ll really take it out!"
Chloeughed and nodded, "I get it. I get it!"
Damon adjusted her messy hair and gently brushed her soft cheek.
"His intentions were clear in the church yesterday, weren''t they? If he wasn''t reallymitted, he
wouldn''t have made that decision.

He wants to repent, he wants you to be happy, and he''s even praying for you. He finally spilled the
secret he''s been hiding for years. I think his life from now on will be the most rxed it''s been in
years. You haven''t wronged anyone. You living your best life, that''s probably what he wants most."
Chloe nodded gently, her long eyshes fluttering, and her heart felt lighter. That was how it''s
gonna be. She still had to live her life.
After finishing her milk, she was carried upstairs by Damon. Unable to sleep, she kept Damon up by
talking to him, asking for an apple, then an orange, then needing to use the bathroom. She''d
thought of every excuse not to sleep.
When she came out of the bathroom for the second time, Damon pulled the restless woman into his
arms. Chloe struggled, "It''s too tight. It''s stifling. Loosen a bit..."
"My little girl, it''s almost two in the morning! Go to sleep!" His tone wasmanding, and for the
first time, he felt like he was dealing with a hyperactive child.
"I know, I''ll sleep. Just loosen up a bit... I wasn''t like this before, it''s not my fault, but I really think our
two kids will be mischievous.
Look at me now, they''re keeping me up all night..."
Damon closed his eyes, helpless.
Chloe seemed genuinely exhausted, and she fell asleep in Damon''s arms. Once he was sure she
was asleep, Damon let out a sigh of relief.
The next day, at the Crown Hotel.
The Alonso Corporation''s business banquet was the highlight of the day. Online condemnation of
Chloe continued, which Wendy was pleased to see. When she arrived at the Crown Hotel, reporters
swarmed around her. When asked about the uing business banquet, Wendy seemed very
happy, and it was the most she''d smiled in front of the cameras in a while.
The reporter asked, "Ms. Wendy, we heard that you''ve also invited Ms. Summers from Starlight
International. Do you think she will definitelye today?"
Wendy grinned, "Ms. Summers is known for marching to the beat of her own drum, so I really can''t
predict her movements. But I''ve already notified her, so naturally, I hope she can make it."
The reporter asked, "Considering you clearly sided with the intiff in yesterday''swsuit, aren''t you
afraid that Ms. Summers wille for revenge?"
Wendy chuckled, "I just felt sorry for the old man. Besides, wasn''t she the one who won the case
yesterday? She''s finally rid of her troubles, she should be happy, right? If she doese today, I''d
love to congratte her."
This smug attitude clearly relished in Chloe''s troubles. Everyone knew what most people were
saying and using Chloe of. Her congrattions were clearly just a way to make Chloe feel bad.
Wendy''s sarcastic tone was clear to everyone, and Chloe''s dedicated fans couldn''t help but retort.
"You''re always trying topete with Ms. Summers. Why invite her to your family''s business
banquet? It''s just to show off! Don''t think we can''t see it!"
Wendy raised an eyebrow, not denying it. She admitted she disliked Chloe, and, even more so,
everyone who supported Chloe.
"So what if I do? Didn''t she say she wanted to give the Alonso Corporation as a wedding gift? I
admit, she’s smart, and the Alonso Corporation nearly got destroyed by her, but only nearly. I just
want her to see that the Alonso Corporation she wanted is now mine. She must be disappointed."
Her fans bit their teeth in anger at Wendy''s blunt words.
"Don''t get too smug!"
"I''m not smug! I''m just genuinely happy. Especially when I see what people online are saying about
Ms. Summers, it''s so entertaining.
That''s life, I can''t always be down on my luck, and Ms. Summers can''t always be lucky."
"Ms. Summers is so smart. She won''t let a vicious, crazy woman like you get ahead. Don''t forget
how many times you''ve lost to her!"
Wendy''s face instantly cooled, and she squinted at the young girls in front of her, saying coldly,
"Fine, I''ll wait and see how she turns the tables this time."
Now, the usations against her online almostpletely cover up any other chatter, and it was
true that Jonah did testify in court.
Forcing an old man to spill the beans on his secret that he''d kept for years, just because she didn''t
want to cough up money, was just crazy.
She justid it all out there, in front of the media, without even trying to sugarcoat anything. It was
clear as day to everyone around the world, that she and Chloe were like cats and dogs.
There was no need for her to put on a show in front of the media, as it was pretty freaking obvious.
In this situation, it was a zero-sum game between the two of them. It was either win or lose.
Out of anger, Chloe''s fans were reluctant to let Wendy hit the road.
At that moment, a sleek, ck luxury car crept up and parked outside the red carpet. When a tall,
strapping man stepped out, there was a collective gasp from the crowd.
