Wiping his face, Nathan cursed under his breath, "Damn! Are you losing your mind, man? Can't keep your food in your mouth?"
Kane hurried over to help clean him up. He absentmindedly wiped Nathan's face, but his eyes were fixed on Chloe and Damon.
Before he could speak, the room was shocked by Chloe's words.
"So, the head of Obsidian is this kind of person?"
"Why did you guys meet at the hospital?"
"No, no, no. That's not the point. The point is that you and the head of Obsidian, were you... were you two in a relationship before?!"d2
The room fell silent at the words. All eyes were now on Chloe. She had dated the head of Obsidian?
This revelation had everyone's gaze shifting to Damon. For his woman to openly discuss her past relationship with another man in such a setting, whether this man was a kept boy or not, it was not exactly pleasant.
However, Damon simply looked down at the delicate, playful woman in his arms, a light smile playing on his lips. His hand, wrapped around her waist, tightened slightly. His warm palm gently moved over her dress.
The heat from his hand seeped through her dress and onto Chloe's skin. The intense sensation made her body tense up.
Not long after, a deep voice echoed from above her. "Are your legs still weak?"
At a loss for what expression to make, a blush crept onto her face. She awkwardly tried to stand up from Damon's arms. However, Damon's hold on her only tightened.
People hadn't thought much about it, yet Chloe's reaction gave them cause for speculation.
However, right now, their focus was on the head of Obsidian, not on their public display of affection.
"Ha." Presley scoffed at this moment, "This is truly embarrassing. You hold this woman in high regard, yet she's been playing around with other men. Now that I think about it, the only reason she could attend the Global Economic Summit today is because she had a sugar daddy backing her up. And you, you're serving a woman who's been kept by another man, what a joke!"
Chloe raised her eyebrows in annoyance. This old man seemed determined to crush them.
"I'd like to see how you'll face him when he arrives."
Everyone fell silent. The atmosphere was incredibly awkward.
Another man had kept the woman in Damon’s arms, and he was attending this summit because of this woman. This woman was able to attend the Global Economic Summit today all because of another man.
When that man showed up, his presence would indeed be incredibly awkward.
While everyone was busy processing this new information, Kane suddenly jumped forward, circling around Damon before standing in front of him, still looking shocked.
"Damon, she said at the hospital..."
Chloe thought for a moment and realized that Kane knew about her hospitalization due to a near-drowning incident. However, he probably didn't know that Damon was the CEO of Obsidian.
Nathan, who knew nothing about Damon and Chloe's past, rolled his eyes at Kane's antics. "Are you trying to stir up more drama? Isn't this messy enough?"
Presley was always picking fights and causing trouble. Had he lost his mind?
Kane pointed at Damon, then turned to Nathan, "You...you don't know either? Damon, he...he..."
Before Kane could finish his sentence, he was pushed aside by the throng of reporters.
"Excuse me, Ms. Summers, when will the head of Obsidian be arriving?"
"Does Mr. Harper know about this?"
"It's no secret that the head of Obsidian has been invited to this year's summit, so why did you choose to come?"
"Well, Ms. Summers, can you tell us why you and he broke up?"
The barrage of questions from the reporters made Chloe frown. "Who said we broke up?"
A collective gasp echoed around the room. "What do you mean you didn't break up?!"
Presley's face darkened even further, unable to contain his anger. "Are you playing with the Harper family? You shameless woman! You dare to make a fool out of the Harper family, and now you..."
Chloe took a deep breath, irritation flashing in her eyes. "I'm carrying his babies. Why should we break up?"
Another gasp swept through the room. She was carrying the babies of the head of Obsidian?!
Then what role was Damon playing tonight? Was it just because he was handsome, Chloe brought him out to keep her company?
This woman was truly ruthless.
Bringing a man into such an awkward situation, not anyone could pull that off.
But that wasn't the point. Whether Damon was a pawn wasn't what they cared about. What they cared about was Chloe's relationship with Obsidian. If she was carrying his babies, then if they could establish a good relationship with her, they might be able to connect with Obsidian directly.
The reporters were outnumbered and pushed to the sidelines. Chloe was surrounded by people, who were either trying to get on her good side or fish for information about Obsidian.
At this moment, Nathan, who had been silently mocking Kane, was standing in shock, his mouth hanging open.
The babies in Chloe's belly was the CEO of Obsidian's?
But he was certain that the babies were his brother's.
So... his brother was the CEO of Obsidian?!
Oh my God! Just what kind of crazy assumptions had he been making?
Such a complex situation, and he had figured it out. Unbelievable!
His brother... his brother... Ah!
Unable to put his feelings into words, all he knew was that his heart was racing, like a prairie dog caught in a sudden spotlight.
Was his brother really that good at hiding secrets?!
