Chapter 1763


    Wiping his face. Nathan cursed under his breath. “Damn! Are you losing your mind, man? Can’t


    keep your food in your mouth?”


    Kane hurried over to help clean him up. He absentmindedly wiped Nathan’s face, but his eyes were


    fixed on Chloe and Damon.


    Before he could speak, the room was shocked by Chloe’s words.


    “So, the head of Obsidian is this kind of person?”


    “Why did you guys meet at the hospital?“c2


    “No, no, no. That’s not the point. The point is that you and the head of Obsidian, were you were you


    two in a rtionship before?!”


    The room fell silent at the words. All eyes were now on Chloe. She had dated the head of Obsidian?


    This revtion had everyone’s gaze shifting to Damon For his woman to openly discuss her past


    rtionship with another man in such a setting, whether this man was a kept boy or not, it was not


    exactly pleasant


    However, Damon simply looked down at the delicate, yful woman in his arms, a light smile


    ying on his lips. His hand, wrapped around her waist, tightened slightly His warm paim gently


    moved over her dress


    The heat from his hand seeped through her dress and onto Chloe’s skin. The intense sensation


    made her body tense up.


    Not long after, a deep voice echoed from above her. “Are your legs still weak?


    At a loss for what expression to make, a blush crept onto her face. She awkwardly tried to stand up


    from Damon’s arms. However, Damon’s hold on her only tightened


    People hadn’t thought much about it, yet Chice’s reaction gave them cause for spection.


    However, right now, their focus was on the head of Obsidian, not on their public disy of affection.


    “Ha” Presley scoffed at this moment. This is truly embarrassing You hold this woman in high regard,


    yet she’s been ying around with other men. Now that i think about it, the only reason she could


    attend the Global Economic Summit today is because she had a sugar daddy backing her up. And


    you you’re serving a woman who’s been kept by another man, what a joke!”


    Chloe raised her eyebrows in annoyance. This old man seemed determined to crush them.


    “I’d like to see how you’ll face him when he arrives.”


    Everyone fell silent. The atmosphere was incredibly awkward.


    Another man had kept the woman in Damon’s arms, and he was attending this summit because of


    this woman. This woman was able to attend the Global Economic Summit today all because of


    another man


    When that man showed up, his presence would indeed be incredibly awkward.


    While everyone was busy processing this new information, Kane suddenly jumped forward, circling


    around Damon before standing in front of him, still looking


    shocked


    “Damon, she said at the hospital..”


    Chloe thought for a moment and realized that Kane knew about her hospitalization due to a near–


    drowning incident. However, he probably didn’t know that Damon was the CEO of Obsidian


    Nathan, who knew nothing about Damon and Chloe’s past, rolled his eyes at Kane’s antics. “Are


    you trying to stir up more drama? Isn’t this messy enough?”


    Presley was always picking fights and causing trouble. Had he lost his mind?


    Kane pointed at Damon, then turned to Nathan, “You you don’t know either? Damon, he he…”


    Before Kane could finish his sentence, he was pushed aside by the throng of reporters.


    “Excuse me. Ms Summers, when will the head of Obsidian be arriving?”


    “Does Mr. Harper know about this?”


    “It’s no secret that the head of Obsidian has been invited to this year’s summit, so why did you


    choose toe?”


    “Well, Ms Summers, can you tell us why you and he broke up?”


    The barrage of questions from the reporters made Chloe frown “Who said we broke up?”


    A collective gasp echoed around the room What do you mean you didn’t break up?!”


    Presley’s face darkened even further, unable to contain his anger “Are you ying with the Harper


    family? You shameless woman! You dare to make a fool out of the Harper family, and now you


    Chloe took a deep breath, imitation shing in her eyes Tm carrying his babies Why should we


    break up?”


    Another gasp swept through the room. She was carrying the babies of the head of Obsidian?!


    Then what role was Damon ying tonight? Was it just because he was handsome, Chloe brought


    him out to keep herpany?


    This woman was truly ruthless


    Bringing a man into such an awkward situation, not anyone could pull that off


    But that wasn’t the point. Whether Damon was a pawn wasn’t what they cared about. What they


    cared about was Chloe’s rtionship with Obsidian. If she was carrying his babies, then if they


    could establish a good rtionship with her, they might be able to connect with Obsidian directly


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    The reporters were outnumbered and pushed to the sidelines Chloe was surrounded by people,


    who were either trying to get on her good side or fish for information about Obsidian


    At this moment, Nathan, who had been silently mocking Kane, was standing in shock, his mouth


    hanging open


    The babin Chloe’s belly was the CEO of Obsidian’s?


    But he was certain that the babies were his brother’s.


    So his brother was the CEO of Obsidian?!


    Oh my God! Just what kind of crazy assumptions had he been making?


    Such aplex situation, and he had figured it out. Unbelievable!


    His brother his brother. Ahi


    Unable to put his feelings into words, all he knew was that his heart was racing, like a prairie dog


    caught in a sudden spotlight.


    Was his brother really that good at hiding secrets?!


    Chloe found herself in the center of everyone’s attention, their questions barrage her like a


    hailstorm, turning herplexion several shades of unpleasant


    “Well, who’s the belle of the ball?” A yful voice echoed, not loud, but enough to hush the crowd


    Everyone turned to look at the source of the voice, a man they didn’t recognize, but his tall stature


    and handsome face were hard to forget. The man beside him, however, was a familiar face to many


    of them Mr. Asher, the spokesperson of the World Economic Union, who was responsible for


    hosting and organizing every Global Economic Summit


    Everyone watched with curiosity as the two men approached.


    “Mr. Asher, who is this gentleman“”


    Mr. Asher responded with a sly smile. This is Mr. Azriel, the executive CEO of Obsidian”


    The room fell into a stunned silence Even Presley couldn’t help but fox his gaze on Azriel. Wasn’t


    that the man who had appeared at the Alonso family’s annual g in P City? Back then, he was


    particrly close to Phoebe. So he was the head of Obsidian?


    His lips pressed tightly together, his face darkened. This was the man who had appeared out of


    nowhere a few years ago and stolen the glory of the Harper family.


    Everyone was watching him, and without realizing it, they all stepped aside to make way for him.


    The meaning was clear as daylight.


    Facing Azriel, Chloe raised an eyebrow, with a faint smile on her beautiful face. As expected, she


    had known that Azriel and Damon were connected, but she just hadn’t bothered to investigate


    Now, it was clear as day


    Looking at Chloe Azriel was reminded of the so–called new performance evaluation content that


    Damon had mentioned. To turn that rigid, aloof, and arrogant man into a doting husband was indeed


    a great aplishment


    His eyebrows lifted slightly, a warm smile ying on his face as he walked directly towards her,


    totally ignoring the icy res from the man behind the woman


    When he finally stood in front of Chloe, he looked down at her, while she looked up at him. Both had


    smiles on their faces, as if they had long seen through each other


    To the onlookers, the two seemed to be deeply in love. However, the atmosphere around them was


    as cold as ice, making everyone shiver


    After a while, Azriel reached out to Chloe. Midway, he nced at the man standing behind Chloe


    The amusement in his eyes deepened a bit. Suddenly, the hand that was reaching out changed


    direction, and his straightened posture bent slightly. Chloe was slightly taken aback.


    At this moment, facing his outstretched hand, she had no choice but to extend her hand in return,


    out of basic courtesy


    Her fingers were gently held by Azriel, slightly lifted, then he leaned down as if to kiss her knuckles.


    But before she could react, Azriel stopped, turned his hand to hold hers, gave it a gentle squeeze,


    and said with a warm smile, “Long time no see.”


    Chloe breathed a sigh of relief and replied with a smile, “Long time no see”


    Their polite interaction confused the onlookers “Do they really need to be this formal? They already


    have babies together someone murmured.


    Aznel responded with a faint smile, Ive always wanted to have a proper chat with you”


    Chloe raised an eyebrow, “Am I that intriguing?”


    Aznel replied. Thanks to you, none of our employees at Obsidian received their performance bonus


    this month‘


    Chloe was taken aback, Tm sorry I don’t understand what you mean?”


    “Not long ago, a question was added to ourpany’s performance evaluation form, about the


    CEO’s wife. Everyone failed that question”


    Chloe couldn’t help but twitch her mouth. “You’re kidding A performance evaluation wouldn’t include


    such a question “Her words faltered, as she wasn’t sure that Damon wouldn’t de such a thing


    Azriel raised his eyebrow, “However, that is indeed what happened A normal person wouldn’t do


    such a thing, don’t you think?”


    Chloe had no response Indeed, such an idea wouldn’t cross a normal person’s mind


    The interaction between the two puzzled the spectators


    Damon, who had been silently standing aside with a gloomy face, suddenly stepped forward,


    harshly pped Azriel’s hand away, and forcefully pulled Chloe into his arms The sound echoed,


    shocking everyone


    “What


    Everyone was stunned by Damon’s audacity


    is this guy really that bold? He dares to provoke the CEO of Obsidian?!”


    “Has he not understood his position?”


    “Exactly, he relies on Chloe, and Chloe relies on Mr. Azriel in a word, isn’t he indebted to Mr April?


    “To put it simply, he’s indirectly kept by Mr. Azriel


    Pit He could have heard that.”


    Chloe couldn’t help but grimace Were interpersonal rtionships really thisplicated now?


    At this moment. Damon’s face was even more frosty His icy gaze swept over the wor


    A few people were scared by his aura and quickly took a few steps back


    “What did you say?


    Azriel, on the other hand, gently stroked his hand, with a faint smile on his face. As he looked to the


    side he cae Presley with a rather unglestant expression, and his gaze then fell on Robin


    With a shift of his eyes he suddenly turned and extended his hand towards. Boban am not


    mistaken, petes must be the new CEO of the Harber about your recent inquiries for a potential


    coboration with ourpany. Perhaps after this soment we could have a more in–diet domutter


    Everyone was stunned


    Robin’s face stiffened abruptly. Upon witnessing Aprats offarad handehaka ha araih wahi An

    Presley’s expression was equally tour. Azriel’s words, had resentially reposed the Harper Family +
