Chapter 1366

"I know you've made up your mind, but you still gotta do what you gotta do. If you give up without afight, with Chloe's character, who knows what will happen between you two?"

Damon's usually indifferent face finally showed some emotion.

Noah nodded. "I think you should give it a shot. You're the one running the Harper Group now. Ifyou quit halfway, you won't be able to live with yourself, right?"

Kane, seeing both men advising Damon, had a different idea. "I kinda wish to see Damoncompromise with Presley..."

Words were barely out, and all eyes were on him.

"Uh...” Kane ruffled his hair. "I know it's impossible, but that's why I'm hoping for it. I just want to seeChloe jealous...

“From start to finish, Damon, you were always the one being jealous. No matter who was aroundher, male or female, old or young, you were always green with envy. We could call you the world'sbiggest green-eyed monster, huh...

“And then there's your wife, apart from making you jealous, running the company, eating, andsleeping with you, it doesn't seem like she had any special feelings towards you, right?"

Kane's words left the office in stunned silence. For his inappropriate comments, everyone felt theurge to gang up on him and give him a good thrashing. They were discussing serious matters whenhe brought up such a topic.

What was worse, this strange atmosphere made it clear that for Damon, at this moment, this issueseemed more important than giving up the inheritance of the Harper Group.

But on second thought, Kane might not have been wrong. From start to finish, they'd never seenChloe showing a hint of jealousy.

Why didn’t she get jealous? This question hung in the air in Damon's office, and the men began toponder it.

"Why do you want to see Chloe jealous?" Damon asked, his face darkening.

Kane blinked. "Don't you want to?"

Damon pursed his lips, not answering for a moment.

"Damon, you've been through so much. Don't you understand this yet?" Kane was shocked.

"What?"

Seth and Nathan looked at Kane. Their faces held indescribable expressions.

Kane suddenly felt like he had become everyone's relationship counselor. He straightened his back,coughed twice, and said, “You feel jealous because you have a strong possessiveness towards her.You think she’s the most beautiful, the best, and is irreplaceable. Everything about her is yours, andyou can't stand her being approached or tainted by anyone else. You don't want anyone else in herheart. What does that tell you? It means you care about her, value her, and love her."

Damon nodded without hesitation. He didn't deny that he cared about Chloe, valued Chloe, andloved Chloe.

After grumbling to himself, Kane continued, "Then look at your wife, she's not jealous at all. Doesn'tthat indirectly mean that you're not that important to her, that she doesn't really care about you,value you, and love you..."

His voice grew softer and softer, then slowly faded away, because the look on Damon's face was abit scary.

Didn’t care, didn’t value, and didn’t love you...

Apart from Damon, the other two men in the office were deep in thought. The atmosphere was a bitstrange, and Kane slowly stood up, feeling like he might have stirred up trouble. He quickly added,“Ah, Damon, I was just talking off the top of my head. The company’s business is the mostimportant thing right now. If there’s anything we can do to help, just say the word, and we'll doeverything we can! I also think you should talk to Presley about this. Maybe he won’t be sostubborn..."

Damon sat there, holding an open folder, and lost in thought.

"Get out!"

Hearing this, Kane quickly headed for the office door, waving goodbye to Damon. "See you, Damon.Call me if you need anything."

Damon's face was cold, with no response.

However, not long after Kane left, Damon's phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, Damon's facedarkened. "... Grandpa."

"Do you still know I'm your grandpa?! All this for a woman. Are you waiting for me to die before youcome home to see me?!"

"Grandpa, that's a bit harsh. It's mainly because I'm busy with the company."

"Bullshit, what business could the company have that you don't even have time to come home for ameal? Just say it if you don't want to see me!"

Damon closed his eyes slightly. "Grandpa, did you need something?"

"Don't you want to talk to me about anything?!" Presley's voice suddenly grew louder, and hisoutburst was followed by a bout of severe coughing.

The Board Meeting was tomorrow, and he was genuinely worried that Damon would really ignoreeverything. He had been waiting for him to compromise, but now, without any news from him, hehad to make the call himself.

In his heart, the person he valued the most was always Damon alone. He never thought he wouldactually hand over the power to others. But Damon's stubbornness was driving him to his grave.

When the old man's coughing stopped, Damon finally spoke, "I'll have a doctor check on you."

"No need!" The old man flatly refused, coughed a couple more times, and said, "You come hometonight!"

Damon remained silent, and Presley was so angry he had to catch his breath before finally hangingup the phone. If he didn't hang up, he was afraid he'd get so angry he'd end up in the hospital.

Damon put down his phone indifferently, then picked it up again, ready to send a message to Chloe.However, after hesitating for several seconds, he finally threw his phone aside.

After work in the afternoon, Damon went straight to his grandfather's residence. The living roomwas brightly lit, and when Damon walked in, he found quite a few people there.

Royce and Elizabeth were also there. She didn't look any less pissed when she saw Damon.

The vibe in the living room was a bit tense. Presley glanced at Damon, and his expression graduallyeased up.

"Gramps, ladies and gents, dinner's just about ready..."
