Chapter 1780


    When Grandma returned home, her mood was quite sour Chloe noticed and felt a twinge of


    curiosity, but with the day’s events still fresh in her mind, she refrained from asking what was wrong


    If it was about the divorce, it was best not to probe


    Alyssa chatted with everyone in the living room for a while but wasn’t feeling well. She went into


    mom to rest


    “What’s wrong with Grandma? Didn’t she go to Robin’s ce? Did Robin upset her?”


    Elizabeth sighed deeply “More or less. Even though Robin has given up his shares, he still feels the


    need for some personal growth, so he applied to go to the U Country to help the Harper family


    expand their market. Who knows when we’ll see him again. Grandma is not happy. She thinks at his


    age, he shouldn’t be so busy around but should be home with her”


    Upon hearing this Chloe furrowed her brows slightly. She nced at Royce next to her and said


    softly. “Is that so? Well, if Robin’s made his choice, there isn’t much we can do. No one wants to live


    a mediocre life forever ‘c2

    Elizabeth nodded, “Exactly that’s what he thinks too. He is stubborn just like his father”


    Chloe smiled but didn’t continue the conversation


    Later, Royce apanied Elizabeth upstairs, leaving Chloe alone in the living room. After a while,


    she checked the time, and saw that Rose was still asleep. She stood up. feeling a bit bored


    The weather outside was lovely, the afternoon sun felt particrly warm andforting She put on


    her coat and went outside for a stroll


    Living in Greenfield Vige for so long, she still hadn’t explored the entire estate In fact, she didn’t


    dare to venture too far out, fearing she might not have the energy to


    return


    Halfway there, she ran into Nate who was busy washing cars with a few others. Several high–end


    cars were parked nearby, undoubtedly the spare ones from the estate.


    Chloe stood by, quietly watching them for a while.


    The atmosphere among the men was more rxed than usual, but the matters at hand were still


    being dealt with efficiently


    Nate saw Chloe and quickly wiped his hands before running over “Maam


    Chloe smiled, observing Nate as he took off his suit jacket, leaving only a shirt. He rolled up his


    sleeves, and there was a hint of sweat on his face. She couldn’t help but think that this man was full


    of vitality.


    “Are you washing the cars?”


    Nate nodded. “Yeah, these cars haven’t been used for a few days. I took them out for a spin with


    the guys and thought we’d give them a wash since the weather is nice‘


    Chloe nodded and changed the subject, “I don’t usually see you around when you’re free. It’s rare


    to see you with nothing to do.”


    Nate chuckled awkwardly. “Well, I can’t always be busy. There were indeed a lot of things going on


    recently”


    Chloe paused for a moment, then continued, “Nate, I didn’t see Robin in court today. Damon told


    me that some of the incidents I’ve experienced were orchestrated by Robin You knew all about this,


    didn’t you?”


    Nate didn’t hesitate to nod, “Yes, I did.”


    “Then you also knew about Robin relinquishing his thirty percent stake”


    Nate looked a bit uneasy but nodded. “Madam What do you mean?”


    Chloe could not help butugh at his reaction, “Am I really that scary? I am just having a chat with


    you”


    Nate scratched his head awkwardly. He knew Chloe’s capabilities, a few words from her could leave


    someone speechless.


    “Madam, how can you be scary?”


    “Exactly” Chloe replied nonchntly ‘One thing I don’t understand is why Robin decided to go to the


    U Country? Did he request it, was he forced, or did someone suggest


    Nate exhaled in relief, “It’s just an excuse He can’t really leave the country”


    Chloe raised her brow. “What do you mean?”.


    “Because of the ne crash and the other incidents, including the journalist who interviewed you at


    the airport. We caught the imposter journalist. Do you know he almost got killed that night? He led


    us to uncover a senes of illegal activities by Mr Robin. Even though Rubin is part of the Harper


    family, he can’t escape thew.”


    “Of course, the key point is that Mr. Damon won’t let him off easily. If it weren’t for Mr. Robin “Nate


    paused, his expression conflicted


    Chloe looked at him, “What is it?”


    Nate sighed, hesitated for a few seconds, and then said reluctantly. “Initially, Mr. Robin pleaded with


    Mr. Damon, asking him not to publicize the matter. Traves is in the military and is at a crucial point in


    his career Presley and Alyssa are also not getting any younger, and if they found out Mr. Robin


    attempted to kill his own brother, it might be too much for them”


    “In the end. Mr. Damon, being the man he is, couldn’t be entirely heartless. Travis is innocent, and


    who wouldn’t want their grandparents to be healthy and live a long t Mr Damon agreed not to make


    the matter public”


    Chloe pursed her lips slowly nodding. So you’re telling me, Robin isn’t going to the U Country, but


    he’s been sentenced to prison?”


    Nate nodded. Life imprisonment


    A pang in Chloe’s heart. She thought about how Alyssa had been upset just knowing Robin was


    going to the U Country, this news couldpletely break her


    Life imprisonment


    She took a deep breath. “Presley doesn’t know about this, does he?”


    Nate nodded. “Yes, it was Mr Robin himself who first proposed to return the shares. He didn’t say


    anything else, and he’s keeping it all a secret. So, ma am.


    “I know” Chloe epted Nate’s concerns Naturally, she knew keeping it a secret was the best


    choice.


    Nate breathed a sigh of relief.


    Chloe ended up visiting the alpaca alone.


    14-08


    Damon had hired someone to take care of it. Every time she visited it, it seemed like it had be


    a bit stronger than thest time. Its fur was clean and white, its head was neatly groomed, and it


    had a pair of big eyes with thick, ck eyshes. It always had a smiling face, looking cute no


    matter how you looked at it


    She found it particrly funny that this was a gift from Damon when he was courting her. It was


    initially a joke, but he took it seriously and had Nate deliver it to thepany Probably no one else


    in the world would give such a unique gift


    She picked up a branch with green leaves on it from the side and fed it, watching it eat with grace


    and pride She stroked its chubby cheeks. “You should thank me You’re probably the happiest


    alpaca in the world. Even some people don’t live asfy as you, you know”


    The alpaca raised its neck slightly as if it was even more proud


    Chloe chuckled, fed it some more, and as if remembering something, suddenly turned to the


    caretaker next to her, “Is it male or female?”


    The caretaker quickly said. “Male”


    Chloe nodded. Should we find it a mate


    The caretaker paused somewhat amused, “Of course, that can be arranged”


    Chloe chuckled took a deep breath, and turned back the way she came


    Halfway there she saw Damon not far off. Upon seeing her, he strode towards her.


    “Hey Chloe greeted him with a smile


    Damon furrowed his brows. “Where have you been?”


    Chloe pointed backwards, “To see the alpaca By the way. I have something to tell you”


    “Forget it” Damon cut her off, ‘Robin broke thew, that’s undisputed I’ve made the biggest


    concession. He should be thankful I even acknowledge him as my uncle”


    Chloe gaped at him, surprised, guessing Nate had tattled on her


    That Nate, such a brown–noser Could they even have a pleasant chat in the future?


    “I just wanted to tell you about finding a mate for the alpaca What does it have to do with Robin?”


    This time, Damon was the one who paused “Finding a mate for the alpaca


    Chloe nodded, looked at him for a few seconds, then suddenly chuckled ‘Did you think I was going


    to plead for Robin? Do you think I’m that kind?”


    Tm awful citizen, and this is a country ofw. It’s natural to face consequences for breaking the


    law What’s more, what Robin did to me is not something I can forgive. At most, I feel sorry for


    Alyssa, but that’s a separate issue. My sympathy for her has nothing to do with whether Robin


    serves his sentence. He’s an adult who has ruined not only his own life but also the lives of many


    others. And he expects forgiveness? That’s impossible. I’m not some saint. I don’t have a halo to


    shine on the world.”


    She patted Damon’s shoulder, ‘Sorry to disappoint you”


    Damon nced at her, “No need for apologies. Why the long speech?”


    Chloe choked up


    “Are you saying this for me or for yourself?”


    Chloe was left speechless, her expression slightly stiff.


    Damon took her hand, “You don’t need to feel guilty or try tofort me. Everything you said is


    correct. Robin doesn’t need anyone else’s sympathy or forgiveness. If he chose to do it, he should


    bear the consequences. It’s his own business and has nothing to do with anyone else”


    Chloe raised an eyebrow. “That’s exactly what I meant, why are you repeating my words?


    Damon smirked, leading her back towards the vi “Happy wife, happy life”


    Chloe grinned She rubbed her belly. “I think it’s getting bigger


    Damon smiled. “Let me check when we get home”


    With Rose by her side, Chloe had no chance to think about anything extra


    Hannah probablyforted Alyssa a lot, and with Elizabeth and the other two by her side, she


    gradually got better


    Everyone in the house knew about the Robin situation, but not many knew the details. And Damon,


    Chloe, and Royce were smart enough to keep certain things from


    grandmother


    The women had plenty to chat about, sometimes they’d y a round of poker while chatting.


    The men usually became decorations in these scenarios. Sometimes when Royce and Damon had


    some free time and wanted to spend time with their wives, they found no opportunity The two would


    either smoke outside or stay in the study


    The two of them had nothing to say so Damon filled him in on the development history of Obsidian


    Corporation, what he remembered and made up


    Royce shared his experience managing the Harper family for those years, seventy percent of which


    was about his wife, Elizabeth


    In just a few days, the father and son found themselves in the study, silent for a long time, feeling


    they had nothing to say


    Royce ‘Being with you is really boring”


    Damon. Yes, we definitely are father and son


    Apparently, after a few days, the two of them started to get on each other’s nerves. The two


    exchanged nces


    Two minutester, they both looked away, sighing in unison, their faces full of sonow


    “How much can they possibly have to talk about?”


    “I don’t know”


    Father and son exchanged a look, both feeling like they had encountered the most perplexing


    enigma in the history of mankind. What secrets did women harbor in their minds?


    asionally, they attempted to join the women’s ‘gossip clubs,” but such attempts invariably


    resulted in confusion. Every discussion was about something different


    The women were like walking encyclopedias, capable of engaging in deep conversation about


    anything, and they always seemed to know everything. This would inevitably plunge the men into a


    deep pool of self doubt.


    By the time they managed to decipher their conversations in their own way, the women had already


    moved on to a new topic.


    The two men heaved a sigh once again.


    Finally, Royce said, I’ve been with your mom for thirty years, and I’ve never once been bored. How


    is it that after just a few days with you, I’m already feeling bored? You’re still young. It might be a


    good idea to take a hard look at yourself and figure out what you’re not doing right.”
