Chapter 1560
She lifted her gaze to the two figures standing not far away, "Shall we, Mr. Harper, Ms. Summers?
Let me lead you to your seats. I''ve arranged the best spots for you, just for today."
Of course, she had to give Chloe the best seat, so she could watch the glory of the Alonso family,
which she had long coveted, now flourishing under her control. Whether in the present or the future,
it was something Chloe could only yearn for but never attain.
Chloe, however, was candid enough to reveal her intentions.
"Damon was going to reserve the best seats for us,’ she admitted, "I told him you''d do it. Seems I
was right."
Wendy''s eyes hardened, "Ms. Summers, you always seem to know everything. Tell me, why do you
think I''d reserve the best seats for you?"b2 As they chatted and walked over to their seats, Chloe
looked at the empty front row and smiled confidently. "Ms. Wendy, you''ve tripped over me quite a
few times, always wanting to see me upset and humiliated. This time is a rare opportunity, and you
called me over regardless of rumors. Since I''vee, it''s only natural for you to arrange the best
seats for me. You want me to watch the Alonso family, which I''ve proimed to covet, thrive without
me. You want me to feel the agony of desiring something I cannot have. Isn''t that right?"
Their conversation was open, and the onlookers were all ears.

Chloe''s words enlightened those who were previously confused.
From the start, Wendy''s intention of inviting Chloe was clear. It wasn''t enough for Wendy to simply
have Chloe present. She must have more ns hidden.
The crowd didn''t think that Ms. Summers, who was invited and destined to be humiliated, was out of
ce though. She was fine, eating and drinking well, and her man was taking good care of her.
Whispers spread among the crowd.
"Does she really think she could humiliate Ms. Summers this time?"
"Who would''ve thought Mr. Harper would apany her today.
He''s treating her like a queen. I am so jealous of her."
"Yeah. Not only did he forbid her from drinking alcohol, but he even refused to let her have soda.
The way he sternly made Ms.
Summers drink milk was just too envy-inducing."
"I bet no one knows the pain of unfulfilled desires better than Ms.
Wendy."
While their voices were hushed, Wendy could still hear what they were saying. She bit her lip hard,
a sh of pain in her eyes followed by a look of ferocity and embarrassment. What they were saying
was true. From the moment she saw Damon outside the hotel, she knew that tonight wouldn''t be
any easier for her than it would be for Chloe. But after all she had been through, this was a small
price to pay. Whether she was sad or not didn''t matter anymore, her heart was already scarred. As
long as she could see Chloe in pain, she was happy. Happy beyond words.
Those whispers meant nothing to her. She had heard them before.
If she cared, she wouldn''t have invited Chloe.
"Chloe, I admit you''re smart. Everything you said is true. I do want you to know what it feels like to
want something you can''t have.
But I''m curious, didn''t you vow never to marry if you couldn''t have the Alonso family?"
Wendy began tough, her gaze briefly meeting Damon''s cold side profile before reluctantly shifting
to Chloe''s face. "So, what are your ns now?"
Chloe smiled, "We''re still getting married. Nothing can stop that."
Wendy scoffed, "Looks like everyone is capable of breaking their word."
Chloe nodded, "Marriage is the most important thing. Especially when you''re in love, you''ll do
anything to keep them by your side for life. After all, it''s a lifelongmitment. Some words are
better left unsaid."
Wendy finally stopped at the center of the front row, sarcastically saying, "Thinking back to all the
things you and your mother said at the engagement party, it''s such a joke"
Chloe merely raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying.
Wendy turned her wheelchair around to face them, saying with a sneer, "Please have a seat. I''ve
reserved these spots especially for the two of you."
Chloe nced at the two central seats and nodded. "These seats are excellent, thank you."
Wendy''s face was full of sarcasm, pretending to be gracious.
Damon had been silent the whole time, his face devoid of any emotion. After helping Chloe to her
seat, he sat down beside her.
Wendy''s gaze continued to follow him, and as expected, she didn''t receive even a single nce
from him.
Her heart ached, she wanted to hate him, but every time she saw him, her longing for him was so
strong that she couldn''t control it.
Azriel and Phoebe sat down next to them.
Though Phoebe''s face was blushed, her expression looked terrible.
She pursed her lips tightly, presumably unable to forgive Azriel for actually being the one to invest in
the Alonso family like this.
Presley and Robin were seated next to Damon. Damon nced at them, then gave a small nod to
Presley, saying softly, "Grandfather.
As expected, Presley gave him a cold look and scoffed. "Do you have any idea what people are
saying about you?" The words dripped with venom. "You''re penniless, living off a woman, and you
have the audacity to show your face in public ces like this.
You don''t even have the decency to be embarrassed."
Presley''s heartbreak was genuine. When Chloe had brazenly offered to support him to the tune of
twenty billion dors, he had astonishingly agreed. Twenty billion dors - a sum that would more
than satisfy a regr family''s needs for a lifetime, even if they were to live recklessly and carefree.
But in their world, what was twenty billion? Peanuts.
"Twenty billion dors; the voice sneered, "and the heir to the Harper Group empire thinks he''s hit
the jackpot. Living off a woman? Pathetic. You should be ashamed of yourself."
