Naturally, there were dissenting opinions.

Nathan and Kane leaned against each other, watching Chloe's receding figure, shaking their headsin disbelief.

"Look at Chloe. What a spitfire."

"She's really one of a kind. Damon's a lucky guy.’

Nathan snorted, "Exactly, didn't you hear what she said at the Global Economic Summit? Damon isjust too clingy, and she can't shake him off. She can only make do and go along with it. So, youknow, sometimes men should be a bit persistent and shameless."

Kane glanced at him, looked ahead for a moment, and his expression suddenly stiffened. He silentlydistanced himself from Nathan, who seemed oblivious to the impending trouble.

Nathan received no response, so he turned his head to look at Kane, only to replace that he hadalready moved far away from him. He was about to curse at him, but he noticed two cold gazesfalling on him. His body stiffened instantly, staring at Kane's eyes as if he wanted to pierce him.

Kane whistled and turned his head, pretending to know nothing.

In amoment, the intense gazes disappeared. When he turned his head, he found that Damon waswalking towards Chloe.

By this time, Nate had already had the woman who was beaten and unable to move placed onto awheelchair.

Damon walked up to Chloe, cast a cold glance at the people in front of him—just a casual look, yetit carried a force several times stronger than Chloe's. These people stood frozen in place, unable tomake a single move.

"Take them all away"

The group was completely panicked, “Where are you taking us?"

Damon gently stroked Chloe's back, not even giving them a glance, and said indifferently: “If theperson is not dead, you'll pay an equivalent price. If she is dead, it's life for a life. It's only fair"

The group turned pale with fright, "You don't... you don't have the right..."

Damon raised an eyebrow, "Obsidian has such a powerful dark force behind it. It's a good thing tomake you deserving people pay a little price. I'm not going to hide this matter. The relevantauthorities better come to me, as I need to discuss with them when this law of life for life willofficially be established."

"No. There is no such punishment now. It is illegal!"

Damon watched as the woman in his arms gradually calmed down, then he gently held her in hisarms, his indifferent gaze slowly shifted to the person, and he said lightly: "If there isn't, I'll make ithappen. If it's illegal, I'll make it legal. Once I've settled things with them, I'll let you pay the price.What do you think?"

Everyone fell silent. At this moment, the group was even more panicked, some even fell to theground with trembling legs.

The sensible ones already understood the situation. As the top international group, nobody wouldbelieve that Obsidian was entirely clean and aboveboard.

He could have secretly dealt with them, but he chose to bring them here openly. If he wasn'tabsolutely confident, he wouldn't have done so. Since he dared to say these words, he couldcertainly do it.

There was nothing impossible for Damon.

Just like when he initially declared his full-scale crackdown on the Harper family, everyone mockedhim.

However, he casually transformed into the founder of the international conglomerate, ObsidianGroup, in the blink of an eye.

And what he said today, was entirely within his capabilities.

Everyone knew this principle. That was how the world, the society worked. If you were inferior toothers, you deserved to be trampled underfoot, and at the mercy of others. And this was thegreatest motivation for everyone to not be mediocre.

Nate ordered his men to take the group away one by one, protecting Chloe and Damon as they leftthe airport.

Reporters reluctantly followed behind them, “Mr. Harper, what are your plans for the Harper family inthe future?"

"If Presley gives in, will you forgive him?"

"Ms. Summers, how do you see your relationship with the Harper family?"

The relationship between Damon and Presley was now the focus of everyone's attention, after all, itwas highly observable for the reporters. However, their questions received no response.

After leaving the airport and getting in the car, Chloe asked to go straight to the hospital.

"No!" Damon's refusal was absolute.

Nate started the car and said, "Don't worry, ma'am. That young lady is out of danger. Even if you gonow, she will be unconscious. It's too late today, and considering your current physical condition,you should rest first. It's not too late to go to the hospital tomorrow."

Hearing that the girl was out of danger, Chloe's expression gradually improved, and her somewhattense body gradually relaxed. “That's good."

It was an innocent life, and it was because of them. If she really paid with her life for this, it would bea lifelong guilt for Chloe.

She didn't kill innocents, but innocents died for her. Although she considered herself not a goodperson, she would never harm or implicate innocent people.

Damon silently hugged her into his arms, gently patting her shoulder, “I'll handle this. Now that theGlobal Economic Summit is over, you should rest at home and take care of our babies."

Chloe buried her head in his chest, exhaling deeply. "Okay. As long as the kid is okay, I'm relieved."

They were dropped off at a downtown apartment, and Nate's work for the day was temporarily over.

The internet was flooded with news about Damon and Chloe. The identities of the two, revealed oneafter the other, were simply unbelievable. Even movies wouldn't be so dramatic.

Those who said that Chloe wasn't good enough for Damon, or that Damon wasn't good enough forChloe, had almost disappeared from the internet.

The incident tonight was so big that not long after it happened, the local police department issued astatement confirming that the girl with the internet ID "Daily PDA" had indeed been taken to theemergency room.

Even more so, the situation had become alarmingly severe, and the involvement of Damon andChloe had only fueled the fire. The heat was so intense that lawyers and relevant legal departmentsjointly appealed for the establishment and improvement of internet regulation laws.

Although these measures had not completely sanitized the online environment, significantimprovements were inevitable.

Several related departments contacted Nate in the dead of night, volunteering to take custody of thearrested individuals and promising a satisfactory resolution. With Damon's consent, Nate handedthem over. After all, it was just a means to lessen their own troubles. With the legal authoritiestaking the suspects from them, it was a form of goodwill, intended to minimize their own attentionand scrutiny. It also allowed the suspects to be detained legally and reasonably, reducingunnecessary complications for everyone involved and improving their public image.

Since things were moving in a favorable direction, they didn't need to invite any unnecessarytrouble.

Upon returning to their apartment, Jane and a few others were already waiting for them. Seeingtheir return, she took a deep breath and looked at Chloe with concern.

Once inside, Jane and her team conducted a comprehensive prenatal check-up on Chloe. Finally,standing before Chloe, she announced with a stern expression, "Both your babies’ heart rates areaccelerating to varying degrees"

Alarmed, Chloe immediately asked, "What's going on?"

Jane shot her a cold glance, her voice ice-cold. "It's caused by your emotional instability."

Chloe frowned, her hand resting on her slightly protruding belly, her face pale.

Jane continued, "Expectant mothers should avoid emotional instability, especially anger, which canseverely affect the development of the fetus. If the mother is angry, the baby can sense youremotions and will also be upset. Even if they are born safely, they may grow up to be unhappy.Moreover, if the mother's heart rate accelerates due to anger, the baby's heartbeat will also speedup, potentially causing oxygen deficiency. In severe cases, it could lead to fetal deformities or evenspontaneous abortion.

“The emotional state of a pregnant woman is of utmost importance to the whole family. That's whythe pregnant woman will receive queenly treatment for ten months. If you want your babies to besad or, in the worst case, face dire consequences in the future, go ahead and indulge youremotions. I'm warning you: the heart rates of both babies are currently elevated. If you want them tobe healthy, put all matters aside."

With that, Jane looked at Chloe with a grave expression. “Mrs. Harper, you must prioritize. Thinkabout what you have been through in the short three months since you became pregnant and whatexperiences you have passed onto your babies. If you don't focus on them completely, you will haveplenty of time for regret later."

Chloe bit her lip, her face filled with worry and tension. “What now? How are they? Will they beokay?"

"I will prescribe some medication to stabilize your condition, but if you yourself..."

“l understand. I will rest at home and take care of the babies. I won't involve myself in other mattersanymore."

Jane smirked, looking at Damon who was standing aside with a grim expression. "Mr. Harper, Ineed to prescribe some medication for your wife. The medicine is in my car. Can you come with meto get it? I can also take this opportunity to talk to you about the responsibilities you have as a soon-to-be father."

Damon frowned, but didn't say anything. He stood up and followed Jane out of the apartment. In hercar, Jane took out two medicine bottles, emptied one, and poured the contents of the other into it.She handed the filled bottle to Damon.

“What's this?"

“It's the medication I mentioned."

Damon looked at her coldly. Jane sighed, "It's just vitamins"

“All of what I said earlier is true, but I may have exaggerated a bit. I know Chloe is not one to sitidle, so I thought a little scare would do her good. Cheer her up when you get back, and distract hera bit. When she finishes the vitamins, let me know. I can arrange for more."

Hearing Jane's words, Damon's grim expression eased a bit. He glanced at the medicine bottle andgave a slight smile. “Well done this time."

Jane snorted, "If you're satisfied, maybe consider donating some medical equipment to my hospital.There's a new batch that just came out overseas."

"We'll talk about it after the babies are born.” Without giving Jane a chance to continue, Damon cuther off.

Jane felt upset, pursed her lips, and said in an irritated tone, “See you around.” as she opened thecar door.

Those capitalists!

After the babies were born? Did he even know how restless his wife was? How high maintenanceshe was?

Being her doctor was more tiring than performing continuous surgeries.

Returning to the apartment, Damon found Chloe sipping water on the couch while watching TV witha serious expression. She quickly asked, "Did you get the medicine?"

He handed her the medicine bottle. "Don't worry too much. Since Jane says it's fine, then it must befine. She said all that just to make you more careful in the future."

Chloe looked at the instructions on the medicine bottle, poured out two pills, and looked up at him,“Can I take them now?"

Damon glanced at her and nodded, "Yes, three times a day. Given the current situation, you cantake it once now."

Chloe put the pills in her mouth and swallowed them with water. She closed her eyes for a moment,feeling no different, then slowly opened them. Her hand rested on her belly, her expression stilllacking joy.

“Will you stay home now and take care of yourself and the babies?"

Chloe nodded, "I definitely will"

"Do more of what you enjoy outside of work, or develop some new hobbies. It's a form of prenataleducation for them."

Chloe nodded again, then looked up at him, "You should abstain from now on."

Chloe stroked her belly, her beautiful brows furrowed, “It's not good for the babies. What ifsomething happens to them? It's just too risky. I appreciate your sacrifice."

Damon's face looked more sour than ever before. Reward? In her dreams!

At this moment, Jane, who was driving, suddenly shivered and cranked up the car's heater a notchhigher.

Damon frowned, "If you just stay home and take care of your pregnancy, it's okay to have sex."

"Taking care of a pregnancy is all-encompassing. They need to be well taken care of and notdisturbed. If this goes on for a long time, I think they would get annoyed too. Lately, you have beendisturbing them too often."

Chloe's face turned a shade of pink, uttering those words was downright embarrassing.
