Chapter 1366
“I know you’ve made up your mind, but you still gotta do what you gotta do. If you give up without a fight, 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. If you 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 Damon compromise 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 see Chloe
jealous…
“From start to finish, Damon, you were always the one being jealous. No matter who was around her, male or
female, old or young, you were always green with envy. We could call you the world’s biggest green–eyed monster,
huh….
“And then there’s your wife, apart from making you jealous, funning the company, eating, and sleeping 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 the urge to gang up
on him and give him a good thrashing. They were discussing serious matters when he brought up such a topic.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat was worse, this strange atmosphere made it clear that–for–Damon, at this moment, this issue seemed 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 seen Chloe 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 to ponder 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 strong possessiveness towards her. You think she’s the most beautiful,
the best, and is irreplaceable. Everything about her is yours, and you can’t stand her being approached or tainted
by anyone else. You don’t want anyone else in her heart. 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, and loved Chloe.
After grumbling to himself, Kane continued, “Then look at your wife, she’s not jealous at all. Doesn’t that 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 a bit 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 bit strange, 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 most important thing right now. If there’s anything we can do
to help, just say the word, and we’ll do everything we can! I also think you should talk to Presley about this. Maybe
he won’t be so stubborn…”
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 face darkened. “…
Grandpa.”
“Do you still know I’m your grandpa?! All this for a woman. Are you waiting for me to die before you come 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 a meal? Just say
it if you don’t want to see me!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDamon 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 his outburst was
followed by a bout of severe coughing.
The Board Meeting was tomorrow, and he was genuinely worried that Damon would really ignore everything. He
had been waiting for him to compromise, but now, without any news from him, he had to make the call himself.
In his heart, the person he valued the most was always Damon alone. He never thought he would actually 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 home tonight!”
Damon remained silent, and Presley was so angry he had to catch his breath before finally hanging up 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 room was 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 gradually eased up.
“Gramps, ladies and gents, dinner’s just about ready…”
