Chloe and Mr. Stanley had always had an unusual bond, and now, Mr. Stanley was silently guarding her!
Holding on for five years was no easy feat, let alone facing fifty assassination attempts by professional hitmen within those years. Who could have possibly imagined the sacrifices and costs involved? How would Chloe feel if she found out about this?
Among all those rivals or other men in Mr. Harper's eyes, Stanley was the only one he really cared about. Even more so now.
The room door opened, and Wendy and another woman were still standing at the door. Seeing Damon and Nate coming out, they rushed into the room without a second thought.
The outside temperature was normal. The sweat on Wendy's body had dried, but the sweat seeping into her scars still made her wounds throb.
"Mr. Harper." Wendy called out softly, enduring the pain and fear in her body.
Damon coldly watched her pale and haggard face, his icy expression deepening a bit.
Wendy suddenly felt a chill run through her entire body, an unnamed fear causing her heart to tremble continuously. "Mr. Harper... Did you call me out for something?"
"How stupid are you to ask me such a question?" Damon suddenly said in a cold voice, his gaze and tone devoid of any warmth.
Wendy bit her lip tightly and fell silent in embarrassment.
"In the horse racing, not only did you lose, but you also lost miserably. In the shooting match, you lost again. And in the sudden situation, you were even more laughable! Wendy, think about what you've done since we met again in Hong Kong, it's been a total mess."
Wendy's face suddenly turned pale.
"I'm not hurting you this time, Wendy, not because I pity you, and certainly not because Presley is protecting you, but because Chloe won't let me hurt you, and I respect her wishes. But there won't be a next time. This is my last warning to you, behave yourself. Next time, the person in that cage will be you."
Wendy's eyes widened in fear, and her legs gave way. She fell to the ground right in front of Damon.
Damon gave her a cold glance, then strode out. Nate followed him out and saw Damon off to his car. "Mr. Harper, what about Galen and his mother?"
"Let them leave."
"Yes, sir."
Damon drove off by himself, leaving Nate to handle the aftermath. He arranged for a medical team to rescue the man called Galen in another room. Galen's mother also regained consciousness.
"Your son is being rescued, and Mr. Harper didn't hit his vital points." Nate explained to her, reassuring her. As she cried, she nodded repeatedly.
"For years, your son has tried to harm Chloe multiple times. If it weren't for someone protecting her, she probably would have been killed by your son and others."
"I understand. He brought this on himself! Thanks to Mr. Harper for sparing his life."
Nate didn't say anything more, turned around, and left the rescue room. He then blindfolded Wendy, led her to the car, and drove off. In the car, Wendy didn't say a word. Her face, including her lips, were devoid of any color.
