Chapter 1548

Chloe remained silent as Damon poked her chest with his finger.

"Listen here, Chloe, your heart now belongs to me. I won't allow you to share your feelings withanyone else. Without my permission, you're not allowed to make space for anyone else in yourheart. It's mine, it's in my control, and it only has one job — to keep beating in you. Got it?"

Chloe blinked lightly and felt a bit relieved. "Wow, you're so bossy.

How can there only be room for you? What about my company, my mom, and Rose..."

Before Chloe could finish her sentence, Damon turned around and started to tug at her clothes."Enough; he said, "I might as well just rip it out!"

"Hey... don't... I'd die..." Chloe chuckled, replaceing Damon's childish antics amusing and heartwarming.She placed her hand over her chest, pretending to stop Damon's actions.

Damon paused, looking at her seriously. "Good, you know you'd die if I ripped your heart out. If youdare to allow it to misbehave, I'll really take it out!"

Chloe laughed and nodded, "I get it. I get it!"

Damon adjusted her messy hair and gently brushed her soft cheek.

"His intentions were clear in the church yesterday, weren't they? If he wasn't really committed, hewouldn't have made that decision.

He wants to repent, he wants you to be happy, and he's even praying for you. He finally spilled thesecret he's been hiding for years. I think his life from now on will be the most relaxed it's been in

years. You haven't wronged anyone. You living your best life, that's probably what he wants most."

Chloe nodded gently, her long eyelashes fluttering, and her heart felt lighter. That was how it'sgonna be. She still had to live her life.

After finishing her milk, she was carried upstairs by Damon. Unable to sleep, she kept Damon up bytalking to him, asking for an apple, then an orange, then needing to use the bathroom. She'dthought of every excuse not to sleep.

When she came out of the bathroom for the second time, Damon pulled the restless woman into hisarms. Chloe struggled, "It's too tight. It's stifling. Loosen a bit..."

"My little girl, it's almost two in the morning! Go to sleep!" His tone was commanding, and for thefirst time, he felt like he was dealing with a hyperactive child.

"I know, I'll sleep. Just loosen up a bit... I wasn't like this before, it's not my fault, but I really think ourtwo kids will be mischievous.

Look at me now, they're keeping me up all night..."

Damon closed his eyes, helpless.

Chloe seemed genuinely exhausted, and she fell asleep in Damon's arms. Once he was sure shewas asleep, Damon let out a sigh of relief.

The next day, at the Crown Hotel.

The Alonso Corporation's business banquet was the highlight of the day. Online condemnation ofChloe continued, which Wendy was pleased to see. When she arrived at the Crown Hotel, reportersswarmed around her. When asked about the upcoming business banquet, Wendy seemed veryhappy, and it was the most she'd smiled in front of the cameras in a while.

The reporter asked, "Ms. Wendy, we heard that you've also invited Ms. Summers from StarlightInternational. Do you think she will definitely come today?"

Wendy grinned, "Ms. Summers is known for marching to the beat of her own drum, so I really can'tpredict her movements. But I've already notified her, so naturally, I hope she can make it."

The reporter asked, "Considering you clearly sided with the plaintiff in yesterday's lawsuit, aren't youafraid that Ms. Summers will come for revenge?"

Wendy chuckled, "I just felt sorry for the old man. Besides, wasn't she the one who won the caseyesterday? She's finally rid of her troubles, she should be happy, right? If she does come today, I'dlove to congratulate her."

This smug attitude clearly relished in Chloe's troubles. Everyone knew what most people weresaying and accusing Chloe of. Her congratulations were clearly just a way to make Chloe feel bad.

Wendy's sarcastic tone was clear to everyone, and Chloe's dedicated fans couldn't help but retort.

"You're always trying to compete with Ms. Summers. Why invite her to your family's businessbanquet? It's just to show off! Don't think we can't see it!"

Wendy raised an eyebrow, not denying it. She admitted she disliked Chloe, and, even more so,everyone who supported Chloe.

"So what if I do? Didn't she say she wanted to give the Alonso Corporation as a wedding gift? Iadmit, she’s smart, and the Alonso Corporation nearly got destroyed by her, but only nearly. I justwant her to see that the Alonso Corporation she wanted is now mine. She must be disappointed."

Her fans bit their teeth in anger at Wendy's blunt words.

"Don't get too smug!"

"I'm not smug! I'm just genuinely happy. Especially when I see what people online are saying aboutMs. Summers, it's so entertaining.

That's life, I can't always be down on my luck, and Ms. Summers can't always be lucky."

"Ms. Summers is so smart. She won't let a vicious, crazy woman like you get ahead. Don't forgethow many times you've lost to her!"

Wendy's face instantly cooled, and she squinted at the young girls in front of her, saying coldly,"Fine, I'll wait and see how she turns the tables this time."

Now, the accusations against her online almost completely cover up any other chatter, and it wastrue that Jonah did testify in court.

Forcing an old man to spill the beans on his secret that he'd kept for years, just because she didn'twant to cough up money, was just crazy.

She just laid it all out there, in front of the media, without even trying to sugarcoat anything. It wasclear as day to everyone around the world, that she and Chloe were like cats and dogs.

There was no need for her to put on a show in front of the media, as it was pretty freaking obvious.In this situation, it was a zero-sum game between the two of them. It was either win or lose.

Out of anger, Chloe's fans were reluctant to let Wendy hit the road.

At that moment, a sleek, black luxury car crept up and parked outside the red carpet. When a tall,strapping man stepped out, there was a collective gasp from the crowd.
