Damon, holding a pen, turned it idly in his hands and sneered at the comment. “You’ve lived for overfifty years, and you still manage to bore me. What have you been doing with

your

life?

Royce and Damon both fell silent. The two of them locked eyes for a moment before both getting upfrom their seats.

Both father and son were thinking that if they continued like this, a full blown father son feud mightbreak out.

When they reached the stairs, four women were still playing poker, chattering and laughing whilethey played

The two men paused midway down the stairs before turning back and heading upstairs Standing bythe railing, they looked down at the women with furrowed brows.c2

Royce “How do we break this stalemate”

These women were too clingy. If things continued like this, they might become inseparable

Damon pursed his thin lips, thought for a moment, and then slowly said. “We need to separate them”

Royce turned to look at him. “You’re taking your wife and leaving?”

Damon frowned. This is my house You take your wife and leave”

Royce frowned, “Are you trying to kick us out? And besides, your wife is pregnant and needssomeone to look after her. You want to leave her with Alyssa? Are you sure you

want to kick us out?

The two men fell silent for a few seconds, their gazes falling on Rose

Royce cleared his throat. This is your house. You deal with it.”

Damon gave him a sidelong glance, while Royce nonchalantly raised an eyebrow and walkeddownstairs

Damon followed him, wearing an unhappy expression

The moment the two men stood behind their wives, Alyssa complained. “Get out of here. I hatehaving an audience when I’m playing cards. It’s throwing me off my game

“We’re not watching

Alyssa scoffed. “You’re so clingy. Just don’t make any noise. I’m on a roll. Don’t mess me up.”

“Understood”

When Rose lost a hand to Chloe, she turned her head to glare at Damon

Damon frowned, “Do you have a problem with me?”

Rose scoffed. “Chloe knows how to play cards. She doesn’t need your advice”

“When did you see me giving her advice?”

“I saw it

Damon’s eyes narrowed. He’d finally found a reason to get rid of her, but then Rose continued, “Youtwo, husband and wife, are so in sync, you don’t even need words. Just standing behind her is likegiving her advice.”

Damon was left speechless, the word ‘leave‘ stuck in his throat

Royce let out a barely audible chuckle Rookie

Chloe covered her mouth and laughed, and Rose winked at her Clearly the two of them were up tosomething Damon frowned

But that evening. Chloe was very well–behaved She didn’t go to Rose and stayed in bed, waiting forhim after she had finished her nightly routine

He’d been hoping to use her restlessness as an excuse to persuade her to let him get rid of Rose,but she obviously wasn’t giving him the chance

The next day, after the whole family had breakfast they accompanied Rose and Chloe on a walk.Suddenly, they heard a loud noise from next door, over a small hill. It sounded like heavy machineryat work

Alyssa wondered, “What’s happening over there? Why is it so noisy?”

No one knew, so Damon sent Nate to check. After about ten minutes, Nate returned with a puzzledlook on his face.

“What’s going on?” Damon asked quietly

Nate looked troubled for a while. He glanced at Chloe, then slowly said, “Someone bought the hillnext door They’re planning to build a mansion there

Damon frowned. ‘Who?”

Anyone with the means to do this should be someone he knew

Nate grimaced. “Well”

“Hey, long time no see

A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind Nate. Everyone looked up, and a person waspushing aside the nearby greenery, walking towards them, he had a carefree demeanor, with apenny candy in his mouth, strolling nonchalantly

Damon’s face instantly turned gloomy Who let you in?”

Stanley didn’t seem to care. He offered the half bag of penny candies to Chloe. Want some?”

Chloe was actually quite tempted and swallowed “I’m pregnant

Stanley scoffed, “So delicate”

Rose, standing beside her, swallowed her saliva and said, Tm not delicate Can I have some?” Justthe smell was enough to make her salivate.

“Rose‘ Chloes voice held a warning

Stanley took back the penny candies. “Pregnant women are all delicate. If you’re not, then makeyourself delicate Pregnant women shouldn’t eat this. What if something happens, how would Iexplain to the Witts?”

Rose looked surprised ‘You know the Witts?”

Stanley chuckled and bit into a penny candy. “I know all the rich ones”

Rose rolled her eyes.

Chloe’s attention had temporarily been diverted by the penny candies, but she quickly realizedsomething was off. “Why are you here?”

Stanleys face instantly turned cold ‘I was wondering if you’ve forgotten who the hell I am.”

Chloe fell silent. She had, indeed, not thought of him recently

Her silence made Stanley even angrier He chewed on another candy aggressively I’m telling you,Chloe, if you dare forget about me, believe it or not, I’ll end you!”

Chloe swallowed, “I haven’t forgotten How could I forget you? It’s just that things have been quitebusy lately

Stanley glanced at her belly His anger subsided a little “I bet you wouldn’t dare, so to prevent youfrom forgetting me because your mind is filled with too much, I’ve decided to never leave you in thislife, always staying around you to remind you of my existence”

Chloe raised an eyebrow, “So

Stanley nodded. “So I bought the house next door. I’m building a mansion, too. So if you ever getbored here, you can visit me anytime What kind of style do you like? I can design the mansion toyour liking”

Chloe sneakily glanced at Damon, sensing that a storm was brewing in the man

And sure enough

“You’d better stay away as far as possible”

Stanley raised an eyebrow. “I’m talking to Chloe. What’s it to you? This is your territory, but it’s alsomy Chloe’s. You don’t want me here? Divorce her and I’ll take her away. Even if you beg me. Iwouldn’t stay a second longer then

The chilling aura emanating from Damon was so intense it seemed to freeze the surrounding air.“Stanley, do you have a death wish?”

Stanley took another bite of his penny candy, “Or shall we see who dies first? If you die, Chloe willbe mine.”

A crisp sound of clenched fists sounded.

Chloe’s scalp tingled “Stop it, stop it. Stanley, don’t joke with him.”

The tone suggested that she was closer to Stanley, as if Damon couldn’t take a joke.

Stanley glanced at Damon and laughed, “Fine. I won’t joke with someone who can’t take one

Was Damon unable to take a joke?

Yes. He really couldn’t right now. All he wanted at the moment was to tear this damn man intopieces.

However, this damn man was just taking advantage of his past relationship with Chloe to act sorecklessly. Right now, he really couldn’t openly beat him up

But secretly, he really should teach him a lesson. Perhaps thinking of some torturous method,Damon’s anger gradually subsided

Stanley glanced at him, a flash of confusion in his eyes. What was this bastard thinking? Was hethinking of how to screw him over?

Otherwise, why would his expression become so creepy?

Alyssa was overjoyed to see Stanley again, “The grandson of the Meister family? Are you alsobuilding a house here?”

Stanley nodded, “Yes, ma’am, we’ll be neighbors from now on. If you need any help, just say it.”

“Good good! Good boy, you should visit more often.”

“Sure!

A subtle grimace appeared at the corner of Damon’s mouth. Was this his grandmother?

She once wished that he could marry Chloe straight away, but this time, was she hoping someoneelse would take her away?

Rose couldnt help but cover her mouth and laugh upon seeing this. Adding fuel to the fire, she said“Chloe, you’re really something, having admirers chase you all the way home even though you’retaken”

Chloe looked helplessly at Rose, who shrugged at her

Schadenfreude

‘Let’s go!”

Damon had had enough of these people who were only adding to his troubles Stanley really neededto be taught a lesson. He interrupted this “encounter“, picking up Chice and leaving

Hoping to remind her of his existence? He and she were now in a relationship where he could justpick her up and leave. Not to mention, the babies in her belly were his

Stanley needed to realize his worth before provoking him in his face.

At this time. Alyssa’s cheerful voice rang out from behind, “Meister boy, why don’t you have dinnerhere tonight?”

“Really? That’s great Thank you, ma am

Chloe could clearly feel that Damon’s tall and straight body stiffened. She patted his shoulder,comforting him, “Don’t be angry. He’s just my friend.”

Damon glanced at her. “If he wasn’t your friend, he would have died a thousand times by now”

Chloe smiled. “Thanks for being so considerate

“Don’t flatter me anymore. Are you afraid I’ll hurt him?

Chloe shook her head, then nodded

‘Chloe‘

“Im just being honest. You see, Stanley is my friend, and you’re my husband. If my friend and myhusband fight, I’ll be stuck in the middle. And the only result is mutual harm, a lose lose situation.You re so wise, you definitely wouldn’t do something so meaningless, right?”

Damon glanced at her again, “So, according to you, I really can’t hold him accountable”

Chloe nodded as a matter of course. “Yes, Mr. Harper, you’re wise and powerful

“Hmph” Damon snorted, “You’ve said all the nice things”

Chloe smiled. “Dad, are you tired from carrying three people at once? Do you want me to walk onmy own?”

“I could carry three more

“Shall we have three more then?”

Damon glared at her. “If we have more, I’ll throw them out.”

“Heartless dad”

Stanley, unsurprisingly, came for dinner And he was quite observant, bringing lots of gifts. Hisentourage followed, each carrying a bunch of packages

Rose glanced at the things in their hands, nudged Chloe with her elbow and whispered, “He sureknows how to play his cards With what he brought, it’s enough to cover half a years dinner Yourfriend is not bad, he doesn’t embarrass you

Damon, standing nearby, had a gloomy face. “Have you no shame? We are just being polite, andyou actually came for dinner?”

Stanley raised an eyebrow. I was invited If you don’t want to see me, you can leave ”

Damon had truly seen what it meant to be invincible when one had no shame. Arguing with him wasindeed useless and stupid.

Stanley didn’t intend to bother with him either, and instead cheerfully went forward, distributing thegifts starting from Alyssa

Elizabeth, Royce, and even Rose received something. By the end, only Damon and Chlor were leftwithout a gift

Rose couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Stanley, even I got something, didn’t you prepare anything forChloe?

Damon coldly interjected. “Naturally, I will provide her with everything she needs. No need forsomeone else’s trash”

With a nonchalant ‘snap, Stanley tossed the bunch of keys he had been holding onto the coffeetable in front of Chloe.

The bunch was hefty, with at least a dozen keys. Chloe picked them up, the weight substantial inher hand

“What’s this?” she asked

Stanley tilted his chin up and replied, “House keys”

“What?”

Stanley clicked his tongue impatiently. “Each key has a tag Houses in prime locations in downtownareas of R City, F City, Y City, even across Europe and U Country. I’ve emailed you the exactaddresses You can stay wherever you want.”

Everyone’s jaws dropped. Even for the wealthy, owning properties all around the world was unheardof

Alyssa, Elizabeth, and Rose all looked at Chloe with envy written all over their faces Having a filthyrich friend certainly had its perks

Chloe, however, was taken aback, “1. I mean, why are you giving me all these houses?”
