Yet the old man's words fell on deaf ears.
Watching Damon tenderly escort Chloe as they left, Presley's body swayed violently for a few moments before Robin finally supported him. “Dad, you're not well. Don't get worked up.”
Presley, leaning on Robin, kept his gaze fixed on the retreating couple, filled with deep sorrow and indignation.
“It's absolutely unbelievable. For a woman, he dares to speak to me like this.”
Robin sighed helplessly, “You've known about this for some time now. Damon made his choice. Why get upset now?”
Presley shook his head, “No! I won’t let this woman ruin Damon. I can’t forgive her. She's too arrogant. Robin, keep her in check, and take her down a peg.”d2
Pointing at Chloe, his hand shaking uncontrollably, “Just because she got the Alonso family… she’s… she’s… isn’t she supposed to be filming a series? And designing clothes…”
“Alright, I know what to do. Let's go home. You need to rest.”
Robin interrupted Presley. There had been so much drama tonight. From the Alonso family matter to just now, it was all too taxing for an old man, which was why Presley didn't protest when they left.
After they left, the media present immediately erupted. They quickly took note of the old man's words.
“After dealing with the Alonso family, is she directly declaring war on the Harper family now?”
“Ms. Summers is fearless, even daring to poke the Harper family.”
“She’s really angered them this time. The old man is talking about suppressing her.”
“But what about Mr. Harper? What will he do?”
When someone raised this question, another person scoffed, “What can he do? With the Harper family out of the picture, he has to rely on Ms. Summers’ businesses.”
“But didn’t he say he wouldn’t depend on her?”
“Who wouldn't say things like that to maintain his image? He’s left the Harper family, and had a falling out with Presley, what can he do alone? If not for Ms. Summers, who else can he rely on against the Harper family? Ms. Summers just took over the Alonso family. In all of P City, who else has the power to challenge the Harper family? It has to be the fearless Ms. Summers. At the end of the day, isn’t he just a man living off a woman?”
“Haha, birds of a feather, indeed. The one from Starlight International is cold and ruthless towards her family. She just won a lawsuit refusing to pay alimony to her elders. Now, she doesn’t even think about visiting them in the hospital. And it’s the same with Mr. Harper. He doesn’t even know whether his parents are alive or dead. He can defend his woman, deal with Internet trolls, track down over twenty thousand netizens who insulted the lady of Starlight International, but he doesn't have time to search for his parents? Don’t even think about relying on that heartless woman. It’s a pity Damon is so protective of her. I feel sorry for his parents.”
“Yeah, it’s been a while, hasn’t it? We haven’t heard any news about his parents. Are they alive or dead?”
“Need you ask? Their plane fell from several thousand feet in the air. When they found the wreckage, other than the parachutes used by a few crew members, there was no sign of his parents having used any. You’d have to be a god to survive that.”
“What a pity.”
