Yulia was left open-mouthed as Damon was led away, turning to Chloe with a look of utter bewilderment. "Chloe, is Nathan really..."
Chloe's smiled slightly, "Don't tell me you're still in the dark about him being gay or not?"
Yulia's face instantly flushed red.
Gazing down the long hallway, watching as Damon and his brother's figures faded into nothingness, Chloe's smile also disappeared. She took a deep breath and walked back into the hospital room.
Presley's face darkened instantly at the sight of Chloe, "Get out."
"No one can stop me from coming in if I want to, and no one can kick me out if I don't want to leave. So, save your breath." Chloe's icy tone interrupted Presley, leaving him no dignity with only the two of them present.
Presley watched as she closed the door to the hospital room, his eyes narrowing slightly, "So, you sent Damon away to assassinate me?"
Chloe gave a faint smile, "You really have a vivid imagination."
She walked over to his bedside, looking down on him with a smug expression, "You should know Damon well. Trying to force him with this tactic, you know it’s impossible."
Presley snorted, staring at Chloe's sarcastic expression.
Chloe chuckled, "Trying to play me? You think because I love him, I should let him go?"
She finished speaking, perhaps finding it hilariously funny, and let out a soft laugh. "Is this your idea, or was it whispered in your ear by Ms. Wendy?"
Presley said in a low voice, "What's the difference if it’s my idea or Wendy’s?"
"Of course there's a difference. If it's from Ms. Wendy, I'll throw it back in her face. If it’s you, then think about how you were with Alyssa back in the day. You said, loving someone means letting them go. Why did you rather live a life of constant bickering with Alyssa than let her go?" Chloe said.
Presley's eyes instantly flared with rage.
However, Chloe didn't wait for him to speak. She continued, "The person I love has to be mine in this life. If he misses me, it's his regret. He won't be happy without me, because only I can make him happy! Letting go is a pretty cowardly thing, isn't it? What I want, I'll fight tooth and nail for it! If he's my true love, I'm definitely claiming him! Why should I let someone else have him? Who can love him like I do? Nobody!"
Chloe's words echoed in the room, pounding like a drum in everyone's hearts.
The old man on the bed was left stunned by her words, unable to regain his composure for a long time. He had never imagined that such strong and domineering words would come from a woman. But he could not refute them. Just like she had said, if he had been able to let go back then, he wouldn't have done whatever it took to get Alyssa.
The past was the past; he had never reflected on why he had pursued Alyssa with all he had. All he knew was that he wanted her no matter what, so he had to get her. He never thought that he would be like this back then.
Chloe said, "You shouldn't try to trick me like this. Once a person decides to get something, they will do whatever it takes. The current situation is not even me doing everything I can. You're threatening me with the inheritance of the Harper Group to give up Damon? Impossible. As long as Damon wants it, I'll definitely help him get the Harper Group. No matter how hard it is, I'll do it because I love him. I can give everything for him, but the only thing I won't do is let him go. What can the Alonso family give to the Harper family? If the Alonso family is your only reason for rejecting me, then I'll give you the Alonso family! You know I'm not just talking."
