Damon also turned to look at her.
Chloe looked at Damon, and hesitated for a moment, "I..."
"Chloe, you gotta know, if it wasn't for you today, my bullets would've been out long ago."
Stanley sternly cut off Chloe's words, without any signs of frivolity or nonchalance. No arrogance, no anger, just deep and cold.
Everyone got a taste of what it truly meant to be temperamental.
Chloe bit her lip. She knew Stanley too well. He despised this kind of standoff, and if he decided to take action, he wouldn't care about the consequences.
He had a short fuse and was more into bloodshed. Once he lost control, no one could stop him. On a normal day, the bullets in his hand would've been all over the other side's body.
In the silence, Damon suddenly held her hand tightly.
"Hesitating about what? Are you really not willing to go back with him just because of the company? Huh?"
Chloe looked up at him discontentedly and then sighed helplessly.
This man… If she didn't say it today, there would be more trouble when they got home.
"Of course there are more important reasons, I want to be with Damon. He's important to me... Stanley, if you dare to shoot, I'll really erase you from my memory!"
Stanley's facial muscles twitched. "Are you threatening me?"
Chloe's face also showed coldness, "If you think it's a threat, I'll be very happy..."
Stanley didn't speak, but Ned, standing next to him, looked at her with a complex expression.
Stanley kept silent for a while, and only after a while, he asked her again, "He is very important to you, what about me?"
Chloe didn't hesitate at all, "Of course you're also very important."
Ned immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Thank God.
Stanley's cold face instantly turned into a spring breeze, and his eyes also sparkled, like a child who got candy. He threw the gun behind him and spread his arms to hug Chloe.
However, halfway there, he had to stop. Turning his eyes, he saw that the gun in Nate's hand was now in Damon's hand, pointing at Stanley's temple, his body radiating coldness, his eyes full of chill.
"You have the guts to touch her?"
Everyone present couldn't help but shiver.
Stanley glanced at him with one eye, without a hint of tension, but with a full smile on his face. "I've touched her many times before, didn't you hear? I'm her most important person."
Damon's gloomy face revealed a frightening grimness.
"You're not."
"I am!"
"You're not."
"I am!"
"You're not."
"I am!"
"You’re the other man."
"I am!"
"Right, you are."
