However, as soon as he lifted his hand, a very bland voice echoed across the room.
The tension in the crowd grew even more. Everyone instinctively followed the sound and discovered that the speaker was none other than Damon, the most understated man of the evening.
Even Grace and Wendy, who had rushed over, stopped in surprise. Everyone looked at him in confusion, as if they hadn't heard what he'd said, or perhaps they were simply perplexed by his statement.
Cole, who had been about to raise his phone, looked at Damon in confusion.
"Damon, what did you just say?" Wendy asked, her voice filled with confusion.
“Twenty billion. That's my investment for the Alonso family."d2
......
"What the hell is going on here?"
"Wasn't he avoiding the Alonso family like the plague? Why is he so eager to invest now?"
"No clue, no clue, I have no idea what he's thinking this time, leaving the Harper family and then rushing to establish a relationship with the Alonso family. Could it be because this project is just too good?"
Even Presley sitting to Damon's left was taken aback and scoffed. "You were just talking about selling sentiments, and now you're clinging to this project. Damon, don't you think you're doing things without any principles right now?"
Damon was nonchalant, "Of course I have both."
Presley, of course, had no idea what he meant.
On the other hand, Wendy was so excited she was about to cry. Damon actually investing in the Alonso family's project was something she had never anticipated.
What did he mean? Was... was he deciding to let bygones be bygones?
Wendy bit her lip, staring at him with anticipation and grievance, hoping to get a friendly look in return. Even a single glance would make her forget all the past grievances.
However, Damon didn't look at her once. Instead, Chloe, who was sitting next to him, leaned in closer, casually propping her cheek on her hand and asked him. "Where'd you get twenty billion?"
Damon glanced at her, "Your sugar mama money?"
Chloe couldn't help but chuckled. Was this something a seemingly serious, aloof, and noble man would say?
She was momentarily embarrassed, and her hand that was propping her cheek instinctively moved to cover her face, as she awkwardly tried to hide her embarrassment.
It was truly shocking.
Sugar mama money?
