Chapter 1574
As he thought about it, his gaze went towards a certain corner, and it lingered for a few seconds
before he retracted it again. He reached out to steady the old man without saying anything.
"Dad, it’s gettingte. Let''s head home”
Presley nced at him, then shifted his gaze to the entrance. His eyes widened as a swarm of
journalists suddenly surrounded Chloe and Damon. He furrowed his brows, but before he could say
anything, Robin led him away.
Nate, of course, wouldn''t let the journalists anywhere near Chloe and Damon. He quickly formed a
barrier around them, keeping the journalists at bay.b2
The situation was getting almost out of control. Damon and Chloe''s escape route had been
completely blocked.
The group of journalists found themselves trapped on one side, but what truly blocked Damon and
Chloe''s path were the unexpected rush of bystanders. Damon held Chloe close to him, his dark
eyes gleaming with sharp, icy determination.
"Ms. Summers, we heard that your grandmother, Carolina, was recently admitted to the hospital.
Were you aware of this?”
"Did you know but chose not to visit her? Even if you''re not rted by blood, you lived under the
same roof for a while. Don''t you feel guilty for not visiting her in the hospital?"

"Yeah, even if you''re not rted by blood, you did live together for some time. She might have
favored others over you, but she never starved or abused you, did she?"
Chloe raised an eyebrow, her eyes darkening slightly as she replied dismissively.
“Firstly, I had no idea she was in the hospital. Secondly, even if she was, I''m under no obligation to
visit her.
What I do is my business, not yours. Furthermore, before, you used the phrase Blood is thicker than
water to use me of being heartless. Now, without the bond of blood, you''re using the fact that we
live under the same roof to criticize me for being callous. So, in your eyes, I must just let others
bully me, and only then would you be satisfied, right?"
Their faces reddened at her words, but they stubbornly continued.
"You''re so rich, why don''t you give her some money?!"
"You seem to be doing all right, why don''t you give me some money?!" Chloe scoffed at the woman
standing in front of her, her words effectively silencing her.
“Why should I give you anything?!"
"So why should I give her anything? Lady, have you taken care of your own life before youe
here to fight for others?"
The woman was left speechless by Chloe''s retort.
Someone else quickly chimed in, “You''re good with words, and we can''t win against you. But facts
are facts, if you''re not guilty, why are all the posts using you being censored? You''re clearly
trying to cover things up: Chloe raised an eyebrow, nced at Damon, and smirked, clearly amused
by the situation.
"If I remember correctly, this issue was mentioned before the banquet began.’
“But you didn''t provide a reasonable exnation, did you?"
Chloeughed coldly, "You''re busier than the entertainment industry''s disciplinarymittee”
A few fans and journalists couldn''t help but chuckle.
Damon nced at Nate, who immediately got the hint. He dialed a number on his phone. "Why
hasn''t the information we gave you been released yet? Do it now."
Hearing Nate''s words, everyone looked confused, wondering, “What information? What''s being
released?"
Tjeu quickly checked their phones, but found nothing unusual.
At that moment, Robin and Presley emerged from the building. Seeing the crowd surrounding Chloe
and Damon, Robin chuckled. "What''s all this about?"
Chloe nced at Presley, her expression turning cold, but she still nodded at him politely.
Presley coldly watched her, his lips tightly sealed, not uttering a word. He despised Wendy, but
Chloe was no better. After all, she was the one who had bewitched Damon, causing him to abandon
the Harper Group. Even if she was now worth a fortune, he couldn''t ignore the way she hade
between him and Damon. He felt a knot in his stomach whenever he thought about it.
Moreover, he had had a heated argument with Damon that night. It would be impossible for him to
compromise first. He needed to make his stubborn grandson understand that without the Harper
family, he was nothing. No matter how talented he was, he couldn''tpete with the Harper family
without decades of hard work and dedication.
How could he let his own grandson go his own way so easily?
Seeing the increasingly stern look on Presley''s face, Chloe''s eyebrows twitched slightly. She looked
at Robin, standing beside him. Their eyes met, and after a few seconds, they both smiled. But
anyone could tell how forced their smiles were.
Before Robin could respond, someone in the crowd shouted.
"Holy cow! The troll army has been busted!"
The shout seemed out of ce, but it drew everyone''s attention nheless.
"What''s going on? What are you yelling about?"
“Why are you shouting? What''s this about a troll army being busted?!"
"The troll army on social media! All the trolls on various social media tforms have been exposed!"
This news was definitely fresh and exciting. But it couldn''tpare to the ongoing drama involving
Chloe.
The crowd didn''t pay much attention, but then they heard someone shout again, "So, all those
online attacks against Ms. Summers and Mr. Harper were actually Wendy''s hired inte trolls.”
Everyone was surprised.
After a moment, they also realized that if it was Wendy''s doing, it made sense.
"I knew from the start that those were trolls. But they were so aggressive, it was infuriating.”
"I knew there was something off about that group of unreasonable people. Turns out I was right.”
"No wonder Mr. Harper removed the trending topic. This is the right way to deal with trolls”
"The trolls are even targeting Mr. Harper now, unbelievable.”
“And let''s not forget about the realizens who''ve been led astray by these trolls, all of their
personal information has been exposed. Over twenty thousand people.”
“Over...over twenty thousand people?"
"Yes"
As the truth dawned, the crowd that was just moments ago boasting in front of Chloe couldn''t hide
their panic.
