The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1406

Robin let out a light sigh. "Young folks tend to act on impulse and get carried away. Don't sweat it too much. Damon might swing by later, and you can hash it out with him then…”

Cole glanced at Robin, then shook his head with a sigh. "Ah, it's always a worry with the young ones. I've always had high praise for Damon's abilities, but... he's young, hasn't really been through the whole love thing, and doesn't know what's important. Handing over something as big as the Harper Group to a kid like Damon is uncertain because who knows what unpredictable things could happen down the road…”

Just before Cole said this, his gaze towards Robin was caught by Presley. Those who understood the implications of Cole's words would get it. Robin played dumb and flashed a bland smile.

Damon had just reached the door when he overheard the conversation going on inside. His eyebrows drew together, almost imperceptibly.

The door opened, and everyone watched as Damon, tall and imposing, made his way in.

Young folks had their own vibe and determination, but they could also possess the composure and steadiness of successful adults. Older folks, on the other hand, tended to be more limited in what they could offer.

But watching Damon enter the room in silence, Cole felt a wave of embarrassment due to his earlier comments. He felt a bit awkward, but it was only momentary. The most pressing issue now was to get Wendy back from Damon.

"Damon, it's been days. I'm begging you. Please let Wendy go…”

Damon stared coldly at Cole. "I'm not done settling the score with her yet."

"What score to settle?!" Presley suddenly bellowed. "What issue can't be resolved between you and a woman?!"

"There are many issues!" Damon replied calmly. "I still have unresolved issues with you... let alone her."

Presley turned to stare at Damon in shock and was still met with that nonchalant face.

Damon's disregard for family ties left Cole feeling unsettled. He had a sudden premonition that Wendy wasn't faring well. If Damon was holding a grudge over an issue with Presley, Wendy's situation would be far worse.

"Damon, I've talked to Presley earlier. Wendy has made a mistake, and I've punished her for it. You've had her locked up for days now, and she must have learned her lesson. That's enough. She has important matters to attend to…”

Damon glanced at him. "The state dinner? She's in no shape to attend right now."

Cole's heart skipped a beat. "What have you done to her?!"

"Nothing much, just shot her six times. She's still alive, recovering."

Six bullets...
