Chapter 1602
Chloe could totally empathize with Elizabeth. Why wouldn’t she? How could she put Damon in such
a difficult position?
“I understand.” Chloe agreed, smiling knowingly. “He can’t outsmart us. We’ve spent the most time
with his son and his grandson.”
Elizabeth couldn’t help butugh. “Exactly! He can’t deny it even if he wanted to”
Chloe smiled indulgently, her eyes twinkling with a certainzy charm that made Elizabeth shake
her head in amusement. “If it wasn’t for the fact that I have Royce, and you have my son, I would
definitely seduce you! With that kind of appeal, no wonder you’ve got my stubborn son head over
heels.”
This didn’t seem like something a mother–inw should say c2
Chloe found Elizabeth’s peculiar train of thought amusing She looked down and covered the
exposed skin at her neckline.
“No need to cover up, I’m just looking. I can’t really touch you! My son’s the lucky one! Where is he
anyway? Not by your side?”
Chloe tilted her phone to show the empty bed next to her, devoid of Damon’s presence
“Where did that boy run off to? He should be having a big breakfast. How could he leave you
alone?”
Chice was tempted to end the call. Her mother–inw was far too frank! She spoke so bluntly
without any sign of embarrassment.
“Are you done chatting? Time for breakfast.”
Suddenly, the soft and warm voice of Royce came from the video. Chloe smiled, this was a tone he
only used in front of her mother–inw Just as she was about to end the call, she saw the video
screen flicker. Elizabeth switched the camera, and Royce appeared on the screen.

At first, Chloe thought she was seeing things. But luckily, she had a strong ability to ept new
situations.
The video was a bit shaky, but she could clearly see Royce in simple homewear, wearing a pink
apron with four little pink pigs on it. Although Chloe didn’t watch cartoons, Anya always mentioned
these little animals.
They were probably Peppa Pig and her family. Papa Pig. Mama Pig, Peppa Pig, and George Pig.
Somehow, she suddenly thought of her inws, Damon, and Nathan She couldn’t help butugh
softly.
Elizabeth held the phone seriously, pretending to Royce that she was still chatting with Chloe
Royce thought she was still talking to Chloe, he wiped his wet hands on his apron, then bent down
to pick up the clothes that had fallen on the floor In the end, he gathered all the dirty clothes in his
arms. He looked like a perfect house–husband, cooking and doingundry with ease His proficiency
was not something achieved overnight.
Chloe covered her mouth and snickered softly, watching as Royce left the bedroom, the video
following him.
It wasn’t until he reached the door that Royce stopped, turned around, and said, ‘Eat your breakfast
soon. Elizabeth, what are you doing?”
Elizabeth didn’t expect Royce to suddenly turn around. She was caught red–handed. It was toote
to hide.
The video showed Royce striding over, his handsome face filled with irritation. Elizabeth quickly
switched the camera and ran to the side with her phone “What are you doing? I’m chatting with my
daughter–inw!”
“Did you just sneak a picture of me?”
“No” Elizabeth denied firmly. “Chloe has been looking at me the whole time! Why would I take a
picture of you? If you don’t believe me, ask her!”
Elizabeth held out the phone, showing Royce’s face.
Chice quickly straightened her posture, letting her hair fall in front of her, blocking the exposed skin
of her chest. Then she softly called out, “Hi”
Royce pursed his lips and responded with a low “Hmm” He didn’t ask about the argument with
Elizabeth, but instead asked, “Why did you intentionally cause such amotion yesterday?”
Chice smirked As expected, her father–inw was incredibly astute. She had tried to shift
everyone’s attention to Addie, using her as a decoy and a shield, but he had still seen through her
“The Global Economic Summit is about to begin, and it’s the time of year whenpanies tally their
achievements. This directly affects the Forbes ranking and the Fortune 500
“The Starlight international in my hand, including the industries my mother left me, have all gotten
on track, along with the Alonso Corporation that recently came into my possession Although these
can’t match the scale of the Harper Group, they pose a threat to the Harper family.
“Regardless of the ranking as long as im within the Fortune 500 or Forbes, I will be a rising star in
the business world and will overshadow the Harper Group and him Robin has just taken over the
Harper family and he definitely wont allow this to happen
“Whether it’s for the reputation of this Global Economic Summit, or for the future threat to the Harper
family and the stability of his current position, he must want to suppress us and eliminate all threats
Royce listened quietly, showing no surprise or shock at Chloe’s words Instead, he asked calmly
“So? You want to provoke him to act against you?”
Chloe didn’t deny it. “He will definitely target us! Damon will threaten his position as chairman, and
the industries in my hands will directly affect the Harper family’s reputation internationally. He’s
bound toe after us sooner orter, so we might as we steer him onto the course we
want from the get–go. If it’s going to be a standoff, I won’t back down just because we’re dealing
with the untouchable Harper family.”
Royce paused for a moment, a smirk ying on his lips as he watched her through the phone
screen. “So, you’re saying you’ve factored us into your scheming?”
Chloe gave an apologetic smile, “About that, I’m sorry…”
“Never mind, you’re right. Any businessman worth his salt wouldn’t allow anything threatening to go
unchecked. If it’s inevitable for him to make a move against us, your foresight in preparing for it is
commendable! But are you sure he’ll just willingly fall into the trap you’veid out for him?”
Chloe responded with a smirk, “As long as there’s desire and greed, they’re bound to fall into it. And
Robin, he clearly wants a lot…”
