The more Chloe observed his cautious demeanor, the more she sensed that there was something fishy going on.
As she leaned forward to open the gift box, Damon had already started the car.

Ten minutes later, the car smoothly pulled up to the grand entrance of a sprawling European-style building.
To call it a mansion would be an understatement, but to call it a castle would be lacking. If one had to label it, an estate would be more fitting. It was on par with Damon's property in Greenfield Village in P City.
At the moment, the parking area of Dubonnet's Manor was filled with a dazzling array of luxury cars.d2
Y Country's political figures were always particular about appearances and didn't shy away from lavish displays. Men and women, of all ages and types, were paired off, adorned with glittering jewelry, and dressed in luxurious attire.
Just by observing the guests occasionally walking towards the manor, Chloe began to understand why Barbara and Becky were so insistent on coming here. It was a feast that would certainly satisfy their vanity.
Regardless of who the real protagonist of today's birthday banquet was, as long as they arrived, the most eye-catching people would undoubtedly be the two most noble princesses in the Y Country. Moreover, those who came to compliment them were significant political figures and top-notch businessmen in the Y Country. This was a different level of respect compared to their everyday lives.
Seeing this, Chloe smirked. So they liked this kind of attention.
The birthday banquet of Duke Dubonnet's beloved granddaughter, Fiona, would always make the front-page headlines of major newspapers in the Y Country every year. Even if the newspapers didn't offer, Duke Dubonnet would spare no expense to buy the front page to let the world witness his beloved granddaughter's birthday. It was evident how important Miss Fiona was to Duke Dubonnet.
Moreover, many people paid attention to this annual birthday banquet. Over time, major newspapers vied to get the most comprehensive coverage of this event. So, the gathering of various magazine journalists and the intermittent flashes of cameras were not surprising.
"I heard that Julia's real granddaughter will be present tonight. This is her first appearance as a royal princess at a Y Country event."
"I'm looking forward to her debut tonight."
A few journalists mentioned Chloe, inevitably adding a few more comments. Occasionally they would also take pictures of the guests walking towards them.
"I wonder how Princess Barbara feels, having her position as the eldest princess suddenly usurped by someone else."
"Well, there's nothing that can be done. After all, Chloe is the Queen's own granddaughter. There's no comparison."
"However, Princess Barbara has a good reputation in the Y Country. Compared to her sister, she's like an angel."
Everyone agreed, and there was nothing negative to say about Barbara's character.
Just as they were discussing, the protagonists of their conversation appeared in their sight.
"Here they come."
Everyone instantly sprang to life, raising their cameras towards the figures on the red carpet.
