"I can take care of her, you should mind your own business. If you lose your spot at the Harper Group because of Chloe, I will feel guilty, and so will she."
As expected, Chloe's body tensed slightly upon hearing Yasmine's indifferent words.
If it was truly because of her that Presley stripped Damon of his power in the company, then Chloe would indeed be responsible.
"You can't use that as an excuse..."
"You got your own thing going on, and we got ours. I made it clear at the engagement party, the Alonso family will be Chloe's wedding gift. Even if you don't care about your position in the Harper family, without this gift, the wedding can't take place."
"The words I've spoken won't be taken back. There were so many people present at the time, including the media! I don't have the luxury of turning back, and you two won't easily get together. It's not just up to you two, otherwise, there wouldn't be so much emotional distress in this world.”
After Yasmine finished, Damon calmly spoke, "Done talking?"
Yasmine looked at him coldly.
Damon paused, then pulled Chloe's hand over, "If you're done, then we should leave."
Yasmine narrowed her eyes and warned, "Don't get too cocky."
Damon smiled and replied, "Didn't you say you're going to use the Alonso family as a wedding gift? Can't handle it?"
Yasmine gritted her teeth, staring at Damon with a chill in her eyes, feeling an impulse to give him a piece of her mind.
"What do you think?"
"I trust in your abilities." Damon said dismissively, "So Chloe will eventually become my wife. I'm just exercising my rights ahead of time, no big deal. I hope you can get the Alonso family ASAP, need any help?"
Faced with Damon's words, Yasmine was truly annoyed, she hadn't had the urge to hit someone in years, but this man was just so punchable.
"I don't need your help! Get out of my sight! I don't want to see you!"
Damon raised an eyebrow, his tone tinged with amusement, "Keep it up, Yasmine."
"Get lost!" Yasmine's eyes twitched fiercely.
Chloe was a bit scared; she rarely saw Yasmine this angry.
"You just pissed off my mom." Chloe thought it was necessary to remind him. After all, Yasmine was her mother, how could he treat her like this?
Damon leaned down and kissed Chloe's forehead lightly, "I'm sorry about this, but no one can stop us from being together, right? Once this is over, I'll apologize to her."
Chloe was helpless.
Moreover, Grace was getting fed up at this point.
Cole had gone abroad for business and hadn't called her once. Aside from some disappointment, she felt more relieved. Because once he asked about Wendy, she wouldn't know what to say.
With such a big problem, she could only hope that Cole would be in a better mood when he came back because of a successful deal, and be less angry with Wendy.
But now, Grace couldn't let Wendy continue to destroy things.
"Can you stop?" Grace burst into Wendy's room angrily, "I told you to come home and reflect, not to throw tantrums here."
Wendy's room was a mess. Hearing Grace's words, she sat on the sofa, gasping for breath, her face pale.
Grace glared at Wendy angrily, "I've told you so many times, you're now the lady of the Alonso family. Where did all the manners you learned go?! All you know is to sulk at home, can't you do something meaningful?!"
The failures in reality and all the mockery and sarcasm online made it impossible for Wendy to calm down completely.
"How can I continue to be calm when people are slandering me like this? I wish everything could start over. I wish to salvage everything, but is it possible now?"
"What's there you can't do? Do you think any of those people who are attacking you online can hold a candle to you? They're just a bunch of nobodies who can't get the public's approval. They've got no pedigree, no background, and no money. No matter how much they talk, they're just green with envy about your birth and family. They're simply a pack of people who get a kick out of watching others suffer. The more you care about them, the more they'll provoke you. Can't you see that?”
“Now there are some follow-up issues with Infinity Media that need sorting out. I've already got a lawyer on it, but you need to get your act together. The company might not be salvageable, but you need to wriggle out of this whole mess. You shouldn't just be sitting at home brooding and blowing your top at the slightest problem. You need to know how to play to your strengths, got it?"
