Chapter 1761
Damon and Chloe were on their way to the international convention center, but they made a detour to a Mexican
comfort food diner. As the car pulled over, Chloe raised an eyebrow but didn’t comment, 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 accommodate half 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 to make 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 quickly changed 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 his shoulder and
headed inside
“Exactly, Chloe is the priority. And it’s actually better to arrive when it’s crowded With all the attention my brother is
getting, there’s bound to be a lot of gossip. As long as we’re not late, we’re good”
Hearing this, Kane seemed to understand. “No wonder she didn’t say anything, she must be thinking 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 last night’s debacle.
While Chloe initially didn’t understand Damon’s actions, once the car pulled up in front 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’t want to hear the
whispers and gossip about Damon. Neither good nor bad comments were acceptable. 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 he would handle it.
It was best to have a full stomach before leaving, lest they eat something that disagreed with them at the banquet
and caused a scene. After all, she couldn’t predict how these two little tyrants in her belly 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.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yeah, this is much better“.
However, the others didn’t look too pleased. They didn’t like sweet food, and spicy food was even less to their taste.
This was pure torture
Outside the H City International Convention Center, representatives of internationally renowned companies had
mostly arrived. And as the time drew closer, there was still no sign of the people they were most looking forward to
seeing
“Where are they? Weren’t they supposed to be here? Where are the CEOs of Harper Group and Obsidian?
“And where is the newly crowned Princess of Y Country? If both granddaughter and grandfather are absent, 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 a cane, his face stern and his eyes
sharp
As the leader of a super rich corporation, he naturally became the center of attention. Even though the outside of
the convention center was lit up brighth, the flashes from the péporters‘ cameras never 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 the other The
reporters attention was instantly diverted
From one of the cars, Damon and Chloe emerged, followed by Kane, Nathan and the others. Then arrival,
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 Y Country, it’s
simply “The reporter’s words trailed off, his gaze fixed on Damon. Unsure whether to continue, he fell silent
The bamera flashes and clicking shutters never ceased as Damon, his face impassive, escorted Chloe 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 have fallen 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, he wouldn’t ruin his
reputation like this, right? Can’t he think of a win win solution? Does he really have to choose between the two?”
“Who knows” With a princess in his grasp, he has plenty of opportunities to start over, and with his abilities, and the
benefits granted by the royal family, building a Harper empire shouldn’t be a problem.”
“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, trying to catch the first
glimpse of the person they were expecting. But in the end, the doors of the conference 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 their cameras they entered
the conference center. Although they didn’t see the legendary international business 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 Presley walked in, he
had undoubtedly been the focal point of attention. Many corporate leaders wanted to connect with him and flattery
was inevitable. Presley s face, which used to be cold, was now filled with a few more smiles.
It wasn’t because his pride had been greatly satisfied, but because after so many years in the business 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 people around him Even if he wouldn’t collaborate with them
in the future, it was always better to avoid making enemies unnecessarily
The atmosphere was just night when suddenly, there was a low commotion from the crowd at the entrance
Looking over Presley’s forced smile immediately sank when he saw the people appearing at the door
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 the conference
center. Her fiery red embroidered dress was
particularly eye–catching
Everyone thought her usual elegant style matched her temperament, but her appearance tonight totally
overturned everyone’s impression of her. And the slight bulge in front of her belly didn’t detract 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, every pregnant woman
gave off something called gentleness. She was not a business leader not a formidable 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 aura and unparalleled
handsome looks by her side was completely different from the one being discussed 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 their status 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 happy expression.
Chloe looked over and saw it was the woman she had met at Chill Inferno the night before it must be 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 Martilda misses you a lot
Chloe was slightly surprised, but knew in a moment. As the leading company in F Country, it was not surprising for
them to be acquainted with Princess Martida.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThaven’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 up for a long time
and she hopes you can send her another bottle Um, it’s a bit presumptuous, but I also 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 start preparing
“No” Before Chloe could finish, Damon interrupted her sternly. His tone was firm, with no room for negotiation.
Mrs Steve’s face momentarily stiffened as she turned to look at the man with the exceptionally strong 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 being neglected 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 made sense to her Tm
so sorry, I was too overbearing. I totally overlooked your condition. I’m not in a hurry 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 Chloe happily and said.
“But with your pregnancy, isn’t your makeup a bit too heavy today? There are a lot of 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 how harsh his words
were, he subconsciously considered the babies in
