Chapter 1761

Damon and Chloe were on their way to the international convention center, but they made a detourto a Mexican comfort food diner. As the car pulled over, Chloe raised an eyebrow but didn’tcomment, simply following Damon out of the vehicle.

Nathan and Kane, who had been trailing behind, also alighted and fell into step behind them.

“Hey, guys, I think we’ve got our wires crossed. This isn’t where the summit’s being held.”

Chloe, wrapped in a coat, gave a small smile. Damon merely took her into the diner

Kane looked puzzled “Did they change the venue?“c2

Upon hearing this, Nathan glanced at the diner before them

Wouldn’t holding the Global Economic Summit here be a bit shabby? It wouldn’t even accommodatehalf the guests.

But considering his brother’s affection for his sister–in-law, the reason they came here was obvious.He was just terrified of a repeat of last night’s chaos. Before attending the banquet, he needed tomake sure Chloe was well taken care of

“Let’s just have a meal before we go

Kane grimaced “Is this really the time for a meal? Do you understand the gravity of the situation?”

Nathan gave him a cool look and snorted derisively. “Who’s more important, in your opinion?”

“Obviously Kane was about to blurt out a reply when he seemed to realize something and quicklychanged his turie “Chloe is the most important.”

Nathan gave him a look that seemed to say ‘not as dumb as I thought, and put his arm around hisshoulder and headed inside

“Exactly, Chloe is the priority. And it’s actually better to arrive when it’s crowded With all theattention my brother is getting, there’s bound to be a lot of gossip. As long as we’re not late, we’regood”

Hearing this, Kane seemed to understand. “No wonder she didn’t say anything, she must bethinking the same thing”

Nathan gave a haughty snort “Of course Chloe is smart, and shed figure this out.”

Actually, Damon and Chloe each had their own motives.

Damon simply wanted to ensure his wife was well–fed before the banquet, to avoid a repeat of lastnight’s debacle. While Chloe initially didn’t understand Damon’s actions, once the car pulled up infront of the diner, she went along with it.

She knew that Damon was doing this for her, but she also shared Nathan’s sentiments. She didn’twant to hear the whispers and gossip about Damon. Neither good nor bad comments wereacceptable. She never wanted Damon to be the subject of people’s gossip.

And she trusted Damon. Even if they were late for the Global Economic Summit, she believed hewould handle it.

It was best to have a full stomach before leaving, lest they eat something that disagreed with themat the banquet and caused a scene. After all, she couldn’t predict how these two little tyrants in herbelly would react

After their meal, Kane and the others, satiated and content, followed Damon and Chloe

can’t stand the sweet stuff they serve at these banquets.”

“Yeah, this is much better“.

However, the others didn’t look too pleased. They didn’t like sweet food, and spicy food was evenless to their taste. This was pure torture

Outside the H City International Convention Center, representatives of internationally renownedcompanies had mostly arrived. And as the time drew closer, there was still no sign of the peoplethey were most looking forward to seeing

“Where are they? Weren’t they supposed to be here? Where are the CEOs of Harper Group andObsidian?

“And where is the newly crowned Princess of Y Country? If both granddaughter and grandfather areabsent, has something happened?”

“Can they really afford to skip such an important event like the Global Economic Summit?”

Just as everyone was getting anxious, a black sedan slowly pulled up at the end of the red carpet.The reporters stopped their speculations and quickly raised ther cameras, pointing them at the car.

The car door slowly opened, and Robin, the first to alight, helped an elderly man out of the car.While Robin was dressed in a smart suit, the elderly man was clad in a traditional suit, leaning on acane, his face stern and his eyes sharp

As the leader of a super rich corporation, he naturally became the center of attention. Even thoughthe outside of the convention center was lit up brighth, the flashes from the péporters‘ camerasnever ceased.

“Be careful, Father

Robin warned gently, but Presley simply pushed his hand away, insisting on walking on his own

Robin’s face darkened, and could only follow closely at his side

As they entered the convention center, a few unassuming but luxurious cars pulled up one after theother The reporters attention was instantly diverted

From one of the cars, Damon and Chloe emerged, followed by Kane, Nathan and the others. Thenarrival, unsurprisingly, was met with a frenzy of camera flashes and murmurs from the reporters

“Finally, they’re here. I wonder what interesting things will happen tonight?”

“The arrival of these powerhouses is quite a sight. And now, with the addition of the Princess of YCountry, it’s simply “The reporter’s words trailed off, his gaze fixed on Damon. Unsure whether tocontinue, he fell silent

The bamera flashes and clicking shutters never ceased as Damon, his face impassive, escortedChloe down the red carpet, seemingly unfazed by cunous looks

Until they all entered the conference center, the topic of Damon was still ongoing

Tve heard of his exploits before, he’s a legend in the business world. I didn’t expect him to havefallen so far. Women can really be a man’s downfall.”

“But what was he thinking? He’s such a wise and ambitious man, and even if he loves women, hewouldn’t ruin his reputation like this, right? Can’t he think of a win win solution? Does he really haveto choose between the two?”

“Who knows” With a princess in his grasp, he has plenty of opportunities to start over, and with hisabilities, and the benefits granted by the royal family, building a Harper empire shouldn’t be aproblem.”

“So, it all comes back to relying on a woman?”

In between the chatter, a journalist looked at the time, puzzled

*Strange, it’s time. Why hasn’t the head of Obsidian showed up?”

“Right, isn’t he supposed to attend this summit?”

“Let’s wait a little longer

Everyone was looking forward to it, their eyes scanning the entrance and the distant places, tryingto catch the first glimpse of the person they were expecting. But in the end, the doors of theconference center closed on time, and they didn’t see the person they were hoping to see

This made all the journalists disappointed. They shook their heads and sighed, carrying theircameras they entered the conference center. Although they didn’t see the legendary internationalbusiness tycoon this time, he hadn’t been there in previous years either.

This year, there should be another show inside.

Meanwhile, inside the conference center, the atmosphere was indeed awkward. Ever since Presleywalked in, he had undoubtedly been the focal point of attention. Many corporate leaders wanted toconnect with him and flattery was inevitable. Presley s face, which used to be cold, was now filledwith a few more smiles.

It wasn’t because his pride had been greatly satisfied, but because after so many years in thebusiness world, he was used to flattery and insincere gestures. He was also used to the hypocrisy

and backstabbing. At this moment, he was forced to have a polite conversation with the peoplearound him Even if he wouldn’t collaborate with them in the future, it was always better to avoidmaking enemies unnecessarily

The atmosphere was just night when suddenly, there was a low commotion from the crowd at theentrance

Looking over Presley’s forced smile immediately sank when he saw the people appearing at thedoor

Chloe’s gaze swept over the conference center, capturing all the top business elites in the world.

Each of them exuded the aura of successful elites. She took off her coat as soon as she entered theconference center. Her fiery red embroidered dress was

particularly eye–catching

Everyone thought her usual elegant style matched her temperament, but her appearance tonighttotally overturned everyone’s impression of her. And the slight bulge in front of her belly didn’tdetract from her outfit, but rather evoked a strange emotion in everyone

It was curiosity, anticipation for life, and a kind of tenderness that came with it. Indeed, everypregnant woman gave off something called gentleness. She was not a business leader not aformidable woman who scared people, but just a simple woman.

With this understanding, when they looked at her again, they felt that the man with a strong auraand unparalleled handsome looks by her side was completely different from the one beingdiscussed on the internet.

Chloe slightly hooked her lips and glanced at Damon, who slowly led her into the conference center

Everyone was watching them, their expressions varied, but no one took the initiative to greet them

A company that had just risen to prominence this year was not enough to make them lower theirstatus and actively seek a relationship with her. They were aware

of her other identity as the princess of Y Country, but there were only capitalists here, not politicians.

“Ah, I remember you. A surprised voice rang out, pointing at Chloe with a somewhat happyexpression.

Chloe looked over and saw it was the woman she had met at Chill Inferno the night before it mustbe Mrs. Steve

Chloe smiled slightly and nodded at her. Hello, Mrs. Steve”

“It really is you I was a bit confused last night, but then I realized, Princess Chloe, Princess Martildamisses you a lot

Chloe was slightly surprised, but knew in a moment. As the leading company in F Country, it wasnot surprising for them to be acquainted with Princess Martida.

Thaven’t had the chance to see her again I miss her too”

Mrs. Steve happily walked over and hugged her lightly “Matilda said her perfume has been used upfor a long time and she hopes you can send her another bottle Um, it’s a bit presumptuous, but Ialso really want to have a bottle of perfume designed by you

Chloe smiled gently, “Of course, it’s my honor that you like my design. When I go back, I’ll startpreparing

“No” Before Chloe could finish, Damon interrupted her sternly. His tone was firm, with no room fornegotiation.

Mrs Steve’s face momentarily stiffened as she turned to look at the man with the exceptionallystrong aura beside her

Perhaps it was his overpowering aura, unintentionally exuding a strong and intimidating presence,which prompted Steve to step forward and tightly hold his own wife in his arms “What’s going on?”

Chloe hurriedly tried to explain, but Damon held her tightly, still looking displeased “Prepare what?Have you forgotten about your pregnancy**

He glanced at Chloe’s protruding belly as he spoke, reminding her of the two little bunnies beingneglected at this time Chloe instinctively put her hand on her belly

Mrs. Steve listened with confusion, but when she saw Chloe’s actions, everything suddenly madesense to her Tm so sorry, I was too overbearing. I totally overlooked your condition. I’m not in ahurry Your priority now is to safely give birth to the baby‘

Chloe looked apologetic, I’m really sorry”

Steve also understood the situation and gradually let go of his wife. Mrs. Steve looked at Chloehappily and said. “But with your pregnancy, isn’t your makeup a bit too heavy today? There are a lotof chemicals in makeup products, which can be dangerous for pregnant women.

Mentioning this, the face of Presley on the side suddenly turned incredibly dark. No matter howharsh his words were, he subconsciously considered the babies in
