The moment Damon walked in, he was intercepted by Cole. Chloe greeted Damon and they parted ways temporarily. Damon's gaze followed her for a moment, sweeping over the two people by her side. Only when they were following closely behind Chloe did he withdraw his gaze.
"What are you trying to say?"
Cole frowned at Damon, "I'm surprised you showed up today, I thought you'd cut all ties with the Alonso family."
"I came with my wife. It has nothing to do with your Alonso family."
"Damon, what did the Alonso family ever do to you that you can be so heartless?"
"Well, for starters, isn't the Alonso family the main reason why I lost everything in the Harper family?"d2
Cole paused, then sneered, "You knew the consequences of offending us, so why were you so stubborn back then? Wendy loved you; she could have given you so much, including the entire Alonso dynasty. But you had to have that woman. You lost your position as Chairman and CEO of Harper Group, and even your grandfather was deeply disappointed in you. Look at you now, with nothing to your name, is this what you wanted?"
Damon frowned, "Aren't you tired of this?"
"What?"
"I've heard the same thing too many times. If you're just trying to take the opportunity to ridicule me, you're far from it."
Cole laughed with rage, looking at Damon, he said angrily, "Wendy has changed into a different person because of you. I just thought about the one who started this mess should be the one to finish it. In consideration of the fact that I saw you grow up, I gave you a chance to return to her, but you're still so stubborn. Damon, what do you think you are now without the Harper family? Even if you have the ability, do you think your uncle would give you a chance to start over? Let me tell you, even if he allows it, I won't. You've made my daughter suffer enough, and it's damn time you paid the price. I want to see how long you can hold out."
Damon smirked, "I'm waiting to see what price you can make me pay. There's one thing I hope you'll understand sooner rather than later. The Alonso family, their only use now, is nothing more than a plaything for Chloe. Don't think you can use the Alonso family to pressure me. Including the Harper family, none of you are qualified."
Cole was enraged by Damon's calm tone, after staring at Damon for a while, he said coldly:"I'd like to see what kind of storm you can stir up."
But Damon had long since stopped paying attention to him, his gaze had already returned to Chloe.
"You..." Cole was left speechless by Damon's disregard, "really do not know your place."
Wendy had been greeting guests all along, but her attention was always on Damon, who was standing with Cole. There was no expression on his face, the same indifference as always. Even if he occasionally smiled, it was sarcastic and cold. She didn't know what they were talking about, but she could tell that her father didn't look pleased.
When Cole left with a face full of anger, Wendy immediately went to his side. "Dad, what were you talking about with Damon?"
Cole was still angry, and he snapped at Wendy, "What are you still expecting?! He's made you like this, and you still care about him?!"
Wendy was silent for a moment.
