Chapter 1766
As Damon’s words fell, the entire conference room fell into silence for a moment.
The reporters, who had been quietly standing by their tripods, couldn’t help but swing their cameras
in his direction. They were specialists from an economic radiowork who had been invited to
cover this major international economic conference. It was a grand cooperation with the official TV
station, and the broadcast would be a piece of news for the general public. They felt both the weight
and honor of their task
Reporters from renowned radio stations and magazines from all around the world had gathered, all
for the sole purpose of providing the mostprehensive coverage of the conference
To the average person, the Global Economic Summit was just a spectacle, a grand spectacle like
no other it was a chance to see what the rich looked like, how they lived, and just how nich they
really were
For some economists and entrepreneurs, however, the insights gained from the summit couldy
the foundation for their sess, and could potentially drive global development c2
That was why the Global Economic Summit was so important. It contained elements that could
influence the world.
In this global spotlight, Damon’s words struck a chord more profound than any expert advice
“If you don’t want to be tied down, be the strongest
Damon embodied the extent of human ambition Weaknesses, burdens if he wanted something and
couldn’t prevent others from interfering, he’d reach a height where others would have neither the
grounds nor the qualifications to interfere.
Damon, despite his young age, had already reached the pinnacle of life. He was at the top of the
food chain. And all of this was for a woman he wanted without
any reservations.
Everyone’s gaze fell on the woman in Damon’s arms, their eyes full of envy, regardless of gender
This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.
If Damon was the man at the peak, then she was undoubtedly the biggest winner in life
But in Chloe’s heart at this moment, there weren’t manyplications. She only knew that her heart
was filled with gratitude and deep affection. She wondered what she had done in her life to deserve
such a man. Her past life had been so tough that she had never imagined crossing paths with a
man like Damon let alone being with him
Presley was equally stunned by Damon’s words. Yes, these were the things he had instilled in
Damon from a young age. However, it seemed he had been na?ve Damon was still obedient, but he
hadpletely stepped out of Presley’s control, even reaching heights that Presley couldn’t touch
And the person who had brought Damon to such heights wasn’t him, but this woman who had
appeared out of the blue.
It was justughable
Presley, feeling a mix of resentment and anger, scoffed. “So you’ve been on guard against me all
along. You guessed that I’d use the Harper family to control you. and that’s why Obsidian exists
Damon retorted, “If your desire for control wasn’t so strong. Obsidian could have been a boon for
the Harper family. Before all this, Obsidian could have been the Harper family, but now, it only
belongs to me, Damon
Presley’s gaze passed over Chloe, and he sneered, ‘All of this for a woman”
Damon frowned, “No matter what the reason is, you have no grounds to judge me here today.”
Yes, he didn’t
This was the Global Economic Summit, a ce where only the strong had the right to speak
Presley was supported by Robin as he swayed. Damon, you’re being too harsh. He’s your
grandfather! Your achievements today are a result of his guidance.
Damon coldly replied. 1 should indeed thank him for that. But today, things are different. When he
tried to disgrace me he didn’t seem to think, that the man who relied on a woman for support was
also someone he had nurtured
Robins face darkened. Damon, you are out of line. Even if he was wrong, he doesn’t deserve this.
Have you considered the negative impact your actions today could have on him?”
Chice suddenly spoke, Damon has also had to endure plenty of nder because of his actions Not
long ago, he was seen by everyone as a boy tury Robin frowned at her “Do you think it’s right to
treat an elder this way?”
Chice shook her head “Damon was misunderstood, and I know that part of that was my fault. But
the person who escted things to this port was due to his prejudice and stubborness Respect is
not a given, it is earned through ones actions You ask me to respect elders, but please also tert
care of the young To put it bluntly
She paused then Continued. “We’re all human for the first time, so why should I have to
unconditionally cater to you? Don’t use the excuse that night and we are always wrong to me us
and don’tbel us as disrespectful of heartless simply because we disagree with you.
Presley squinted
ted at her dangerously “Even if I’m the worst man alive. I’m still Damon’s grandfather, a fact he can’t
change in his thetime but can’t get my approval. You find that fulfilling?”
Chloe raised an eyebrow her smile light in my life. I’ve been a viin, done bad things, and I’ve
never really considered mysat a good person. Why no about anyone’s approval? Well that’s not
entirely correct | believe if that person in this world approves of me, it s mnough. Everyone else i

It wasn’t hard to guess who that one person was
Presley tightened his lips. huffed, then left the meeting room with the support his cane
The opening of this year’s Global Economic Summit had been quite turbulent. After the departum of

broadcasted yet. The only thing discursed was what happened
What the hell? Ms Summers babies weren’t Damons? That’s shocking||
He lost everything indeed. He gave up the Harper empire for a woman and now look where he is]
I knew Obsidian’s CEO would show up at the Global Economic Summit today Chloe was nning
to embarrass him in public, wasn’t she? What kind of grudge she holding?]
(For Christ’s sake, who does he think he is to act that way towards Obsidian’s CEO? Just because
he’s a guy kept by a wealthy woman?]
I’ve been following this whole thing, and it all started because Mr. Harper peeled some fruit for Ms
Summers at the coronation is it necessary to insult someone over that? Ms. Summers is pregnant,
and he’s her husband What’s wrong with him taking care of her? Would you rather have your
husbands beat or ignore you when you’re pregnant?
Exactly, some people online seem to have a masochistic tendency. These days, if a man treats his
woman nicely, he’sbeled a kept boy? What kind of twisted logic is that? No wonder you only meet
terrible men in your life]
[Ms Summers babies aren’t even his, okay? He’s been cheated and still thinks he’s doing great?
Look at him, still worried Mr. Azriel will take advantage of Chloe Isn’t that ridiculous? They already
have babies together]
Exactly, he’s been cheated and still fawning over a woman who’s pregnant with another man’s
babies. No man can bear that Doesn’t this prove he’s just after Ms. Summers princess status? What
else is worth sacrificing his dignity for?]
No matter what, it’s their business. Do you have to gossip about it? Have you handled your own
affair? Do you really have the energy to meddle in others:7|
[Ugh you’re defending the boy toy now Your whole family must be made up of gigolos or prostitutes
|
Hahaha birds of a feather flock together Go ahead, show us how many gigolos and prostitutes are
here |
You attacking someone personally is extremely shameless |
Well gigolos and prostitutes are calling others shameless, haha, that’s hrious]
[You’ve been fucked by everyone, and you still have the nerve to call others shameless? I wonder
who’s really shameless
Online Chloe and Damon quickly became a hot topic especially with the mockery aimed at Damon
asionally some people would speak up for them but they would be attacked by a group of
people, ending up silent and making others afraid to say anything more.
However, they still couldn’t stand it and left encouraging messages under Chloe and Damon’s
Twitter posts, celebrating and believing in their unbreakable bond
Even those few who had been attacked were there. Others recognized them andforted them
under theirments
But there were also many trolls targeting Damon and Chloe’s ounts. Seeing theirments,
they ridiculed and insulted them relentlessly, making ther pr
known
One of them, an ID called ‘Daily PDA, couldn’t stand it anymore and said angrily to those people
who were relentlessly mocking others beneath herment. you stop already? This is their private
ount. Do you have any morals? ndering others is illegal, you know?]
[Why are your words so vicious and your thoughts so dirty? Even though there’s a screen in
between, it’s not kind to be so unrestrained Remind yourself to be a decent human being, okay?
What benefit does this bring you?]
Building your happiness on others pain, do you think you’re any better?]
Any better? Hahaha, so you admit you re a prostitute?]
Someone was nitpicking, forcing their own rhythm onto “Daily PDA’s words, resulting in many
ounts mocking her.
This went on for over half an hour Just when everyone thought “Daily PDA” wouldn’t respond
anymore, she suddenly reappeared, but her statement made everyone
watching a bit afraid
This social media tform is now a real name system Even though there’s a screen in between, we
absolutely cannot tolerate you trampling on others self–esteem insulting and attacking them if
society continues to allow you to be so rampant, then I fight you with my life. Believe me, if my
death makes you (HR). then I’m willing to die Goodbye, you filthy people Let the world see how
detestable your words and actions are]
After she left those words, no matter how vile the words used to ridicule and insult her, there was no
response
Just when everyone thought “Daily PDA was just trying to scare them before going to bed, someone
posted on Twitter that Daily PDA hadmitted suicide by
wrist–cutting at home
The initial worry led to some unconventional tactics to track down the address of the individual
known as “Daily PDA Found unconscious on their bed at home. they were now in the ER, awaiting
results. The local police had already been involved
The news dropped and the inte went wild
That’s it The end is near for those keyboard wamnors and trolls)
Kyber bullying is truly terrifying hoping for peace here)
Some people are pst too vicious]
Yet some didn1 believer, continuing their sarcasm Who are you trying to scare? Do you think we
don’t know it’s you just becaur you’ve changed i
[You re really going to great lengths to grab attention, if s a shame you had to use that garbage filled
brain of yours toe up with this idea.
|Ha–ha–ha, this person is too funny |
Alyssa who had seen following Chlor and Damon’s saga online, was also worned She contacted the
police and rushed to the hospital
By this time, the person had been in the operating room for nearly ny minutes
When the operating room door opened. Alyssa asked anxiously. “Doctor how’s the pati

Alyssa looked concerned After all, this person had been driven to do something so foolish because
of Chloe and Damon
Recalling the relentless humiliation Damon had suffered online from the old troll Alyssa closed her
eyes tightly in anger, despair, and disappointment, her whole body trembling
After a while, she said slowly, “Hannah, give me my phone”
Hannah was worried. Ma am, let’s wait until Presley returns
Alyssa opened her eyes, her tone utterly calm ‘Give me my phone. I ne
