Chapter 1761


    Damon and Chloe were on their way to the international convention center, but they made a detour


    to a Mexicanfort food diner. As the car pulled over, Chloe raised an eyebrow but didn’t


    comment, simply following Damon out of the vehicle.


    Nathan and Kane, who had been trailing behind, also alighted and fell into step behind them.


    “Hey, guys, I think we’ve got our wires crossed. This isn’t where the summit’s being held.”


    Chloe, wrapped in a coat, gave a small smile. Damon merely took her into the diner


    Kane looked puzzled “Did they change the venue?“c2


    Upon hearing this, Nathan nced at the diner before them


    Wouldn’t holding the Global Economic Summit here be a bit shabby? It wouldn’t even amodate


    half the guests.


    But considering his brother’s affection for his sister–inw, the reason they came here was obvious.


    He was just terrified of a repeat ofst night’s chaos. Before attending the banquet, he needed to


    make sure Chloe was well taken care of


    “Let’s just have a meal before we go


    Kane grimaced “Is this really the time for a meal? Do you understand the gravity of the situation?”


    Nathan gave him a cool look and snorted derisively. “Who’s more important, in your opinion?”


    “Obviously Kane was about to blurt out a reply when he seemed to realize something and quickly


    changed his turie “Chloe is the most important.”


    Nathan gave him a look that seemed to say ‘not as dumb as I thought, and put his arm around his


    shoulder and headed inside


    “Exactly, Chloe is the priority. And it’s actually better to arrive when it’s crowded With all the


    attention my brother is getting, there’s bound to be a lot of gossip. As long as we’re notte, we’re


    good”


    Hearing this, Kane seemed to understand. “No wonder she didn’t say anything, she must be


    thinking the same thing”


    Nathan gave a haughty snort “Of course Chloe is smart, and shed figure this out.”


    Actually, Damon and Chloe each had their own motives.


    Damon simply wanted to ensure his wife was well–fed before the banquet, to avoid a repeat ofst


    night’s debacle. While Chloe initially didn’t understand Damon’s actions, once the car pulled up in


    front of the diner, she went along with it.


    She knew that Damon was doing this for her, but she also shared Nathan’s sentiments. She didn’t


    want to hear the whispers and gossip about Damon. Neither good nor badments were


    eptable. She never wanted Damon to be the subject of people’s gossip.


    And she trusted Damon. Even if they werete for the Global Economic Summit, she believed he


    would handle it.


    It was best to have a full stomach before leaving, lest they eat something that disagreed with them


    at the banquet and caused a scene. After all, she couldn’t predict how these two little tyrants in her


    belly would react


    After their meal, Kane and the others, satiated and content, followed Damon and Chloe


    can’t stand the sweet stuff they serve at these banquets.”


    “Yeah, this is much better“.


    However, the others didn’t look too pleased. They didn’t like sweet food, and spicy food was even


    less to their taste. This was pure torture


    Outside the H City International Convention Center, representatives of internationally renowned


    companies had mostly arrived. And as the time drew closer, there was still no sign of the people


    they were most looking forward to seeing


    “Where are they? Weren’t they supposed to be here? Where are the CEOs of Harper Group and


    Obsidian?


    “And where is the newly crowned Princess of Y Country? If both granddaughter and grandfather are


    absent, has something happened?”


    “Can they really afford to skip such an important event like the Global Economic Summit?”


    Just as everyone was getting anxious, a ck sedan slowly pulled up at the end of the red carpet.


    The reporters stopped their spections and quickly raised ther cameras, pointing them at the car.


    The car door slowly opened, and Robin, the first to alight, helped an elderly man out of the car.


    While Robin was dressed in a smart suit, the elderly man was d in a traditional suit, leaning on a


    cane, his face stern and his eyes sharp


    As the leader of a super rich corporation, he naturally became the center of attention. Even though


    the outside of the convention center was lit up brighth, the shes from the péporters‘ cameras


    never ceased.


    “Be careful, Father


    Robin warned gently, but Presley simply pushed his hand away, insisting on walking on his own


    Robin’s face darkened, and could only follow closely at his side


    As they entered the convention center, a few unassuming but luxurious cars pulled up one after the


    other The reporters attention was instantly diverted


    From one of the cars, Damon and Chloe emerged, followed by Kane, Nathan and the others. Then


    arrival, unsurprisingly, was met with a frenzy of camera shes and murmurs from the reporters


    “Finally, they’re here. I wonder what interesting things will happen tonight?”


    “The arrival of these powerhouses is quite a sight. And now, with the addition of the Princess of Y


    Country, it’s simply “The reporter’s words trailed off, his gaze fixed on Damon. Unsure whether to


    continue, he fell silent


    The bamera shes and clicking shutters never ceased as Damon, his face impassive, escorted


    Chloe down the red carpet, seemingly unfazed by cunous looks


    Until they all entered the conference center, the topic of Damon was still ongoing


    Tve heard of his exploits before, he’s a legend in the business world. I didn’t expect him to have


    fallen so far. Women can really be a man’s downfall.”


    “But what was he thinking? He’s such a wise and ambitious man, and even if he loves women, he


    wouldn’t ruin his reputation like this, right? Can’t he think of a win win solution? Does he really have


    to choose between the two?”N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    “Who knows” With a princess in his grasp, he has plenty of opportunities to start over, and with his


    abilities, and the benefits granted by the royal family, building a Harper empire shouldn’t be a


    problem.”


    “So, it alles back to relying on a woman?”


    In between the chatter, a journalist looked at the time, puzzled


    *Strange, it’s time. Why hasn’t the head of Obsidian showed up?”


    “Right, isn’t he supposed to attend this summit?”


    “Let’s wait a little longer


    Everyone was looking forward to it, their eyes scanning the entrance and the distant ces, trying


    to catch the first glimpse of the person they were expecting. But in the end, the doors of the


    conference center closed on time, and they didn’t see the person they were hoping to see


    This made all the journalists disappointed. They shook their heads and sighed, carrying their


    cameras they entered the conference center. Although they didn’t see the legendary international


    business tycoon this time, he hadn’t been there in previous years either.


    This year, there should be another show inside.


    Meanwhile, inside the conference center, the atmosphere was indeed awkward. Ever since Presley


    walked in, he had undoubtedly been the focal point of attention. Many corporate leaders wanted to


    connect with him and ttery was inevitable. Presley s face, which used to be cold, was now filled


    with a few more smiles.


    It wasn’t because his pride had been greatly satisfied, but because after so many years in the


    business world, he was used to ttery and insincere gestures. He was also used to the hypocrisy


    and backstabbing. At this moment, he was forced to have a polite conversation with the people


    around him Even if he wouldn’t coborate with them in the future, it was always better to avoid


    making enemies unnecessarily


    The atmosphere was just night when suddenly, there was a lowmotion from the crowd at the


    entrance


    Looking over Presley’s forced smile immediately sank when he saw the people appearing at the


    door


    Chloe’s gaze swept over the conference center, capturing all the top business elites in the world.


    Each of them exuded the aura of sessful elites. She took off her coat as soon as she entered the


    conference center. Her fiery red embroidered dress was


    particrly eye–catching


    Everyone thought her usual elegant style matched her temperament, but her appearance tonight


    totally overturned everyone’s impression of her. And the slight bulge in front of her belly didn’t


    detract from her outfit, but rather evoked a strange emotion in everyone


    It was curiosity, anticipation for life, and a kind of tenderness that came with it. Indeed, every


    pregnant woman gave off something called gentleness. She was not a business leader not a


    formidable woman who scared people, but just a simple woman.


    With this understanding, when they looked at her again, they felt that the man with a strong aura


    and unparalleled handsome looks by her side waspletely different from the one being


    discussed on the inte.


    Chloe slightly hooked her lips and nced at Damon, who slowly led her into the conference center


    Everyone was watching them, their expressions varied, but no one took the initiative to greet them


    Apany that had just risen to prominence this year was not enough to make them lower their


    status and actively seek a rtionship with her. They were aware


    of her other identity as the princess of Y Country, but there were only capitalists here, not politicians.


    “Ah, I remember you. A surprised voice rang out, pointing at Chloe with a somewhat happy


    expression.


    Chloe looked over and saw it was the woman she had met at Chill Inferno the night before it must


    be Mrs. Steve


    Chloe smiled slightly and nodded at her. Hello, Mrs. Steve”


    “It really is you I was a bit confusedst night, but then I realized, Princess Chloe, Princess Martilda


    misses you a lot


    Chloe was slightly surprised, but knew in a moment. As the leadingpany in F Country, it was


    not surprising for them to be acquainted with Princess Martida.


    Thaven’t had the chance to see her again I miss her too”


    Mrs. Steve happily walked over and hugged her lightly “Matilda said her perfume has been used up


    for a long time and she hopes you can send her another bottle Um, it’s a bit presumptuous, but I


    also really want to have a bottle of perfume designed by you


    Chloe smiled gently, “Of course, it’s my honor that you like my design. When I go back, I’ll start


    preparing


    “No” Before Chloe could finish, Damon interrupted her sternly. His tone was firm, with no room for


    negotiation.


    Mrs Steve’s face momentarily stiffened as she turned to look at the man with the exceptionally


    strong aura beside her


    Perhaps it was his overpowering aura, unintentionally exuding a strong and intimidating presence,


    which prompted Steve to step forward and tightly hold his own wife in his arms “What’s going on?”


    Chloe hurriedly tried to exin, but Damon held her tightly, still looking displeased “Prepare what?


    Have you forgotten about your pregnancy**


    He nced at Chloe’s protruding belly as he spoke, reminding her of the two little bunnies being


    neglected at this time Chloe instinctively put her hand on her belly


    Mrs. Steve listened with confusion, but when she saw Chloe’s actions, everything suddenly made


    sense to her Tm so sorry, I was too overbearing. I totally overlooked your condition. I’m not in a


    hurry Your priority now is to safely give birth to the baby‘


    Chloe looked apologetic, I’m really sorry”


    Steve also understood the situation and gradually let go of his wife. Mrs. Steve looked at Chloe


    happily and said. “But with your pregnancy, isn’t your makeup a bit too heavy today? There are a lot


    of chemicals in makeup products, which can be dangerous for pregnant women.


    Mentioning this, the face of Presley on the side suddenly turned incredibly dark. No matter how


    harsh his words were, he subconsciously considered the babies in


    Chloe’s womb descendants of the Harper family Upon hearing that she


    motivety applied makeup today withou
