She pointed at the computer screen, laughing,
"I can't believe it, Damon's actually lost his marbles over a woman. He rashly withdrew the attack on Chloe to protect her. Didn't he think that this would only piss off those haters even more? This femme fatale must've completely bewitched him! Oh no, that's too much of a compliment for her. If she really was, why did she fail to hold onto her fiancé in the first place? A woman nobody else wanted, yet Damon treats her like a treasure. He's gone mad!"
Seeing Wendy's crazed state, Cole frowned. He said, "How could he be so thoughtless? Don't count your chickens before they hatch!"
Wendy scoffed, "Just look, after the comments were withdrawn, the online attacks on her are even more vicious."
She was right, the comments on Chloe had become even more fierce.
"Feeling guilty, is she? She has the nerve to do it, but not the courage to take the criticism?"d2
"Can she only handle flattery and not criticism?"
"I suddenly feel like it was so stupid of me to defend her online before. She only allows us to argue for her but doesn't allow others to criticize her!"
"She forced an elderly man to ruin his own reputation by testifying in court for her, she must be feeling guilty."
"A problem that could've been solved with some money, and now she's pushed two elderly people to this point, is she happy now?"
"Such a cold-blooded woman, today I finally see her true selfishness..."
"I used to idolize her, but now, looking back, I feel so stupid for sticking up for her. Thinking about everything she's done, it all feels so ruthless! She never leaves any room for others, it's so cruel..."
Cole merely glanced at the flood of similar comments, although the content varied slightly. Of course, there were also some netizens who consistently defended Chloe, but they were fewer in number.
His brows furrowed; he was doubtful about Damon's action. Did Chloe bewitch him so that he couldn't bear to see her suffer a bit? So, he acted without thinking about the consequences? Because of that woman, he had hurt Wendy to this point, so it wasn't impossible for him to act this way.
He shook his head slightly and sighed softly. It's such a waste of good talent.
He said, "The business banquet is tomorrow night. I will personally go to Harper's Mansion tonight to invite Presley and Robin. If you're done with your things, go home now."
Hearing about the Harper family, the smile on Wendy's face disappeared. She said, "Grandpa Presley has officially retired now. He probably won't attend..."
Cole responded emotionlessly with a cold hum, "His grandson made you into what you are now, and we haven't even gotten an explanation from him. The last time I asked for his help with Alonso Corporation, I got nothing. Today, I'm inviting him to a banquet, so he shouldn't refuse."
