At this moment, Chloe and Sierra were once again the center of attention.
Elizabeth even came over and asked, "What's going on?"
Sierra, still fuming, glared at Chloe and shouted, "She stole my bracelet!"
As Sierra's sharp voice died down, the entire venue fell silent.
What kind of occasion was this tonight? Although it was a welcome back party, every woman present was from high society. Normally, stealing was a lowly act. And in the eyes of the people present, it could completely ruin a person's reputation.
What did it mean to completely ruin one's reputation?
Chloe stood in place, pondering for a few seconds. A hint of mocking smile flashed across her face.
Really, no stone left unturned.
The people around Chloe looked at her with doubtful, resentful, and disdainful gazes.
"Indeed, it's always best to marry someone from the same social class. Some folks from ordinary families seem to have more than their fair share of bad habits."
"Yeah, she's marrying into a rich family, and she can have anything she wants. Why doesn't she fix this habit?"
"Maybe she's used to it. Whenever she sees something she likes, her first reaction is to claim it for herself..."
Some people around were whispering to each other. Although their voices were intentionally kept low, they still floated faintly into everyone's ears.
"Stole your bracelet?" Elizabeth's face turned cold. "First, she wouldn't do such a thing based on her character. And as the wife of the Harper family, she would never do something so disgraceful. You better make sure that you didn't get it wrong, and don't slander people!"
Elizabeth's cold, angry voice silenced all the whispers around. Wendy frowned slightly from the side and glanced at Elizabeth. Just now, she was clearly dissatisfied with Chloe. But now, she stood up and defended her without any reason.
Maybe because she was shocked tonight, Chloe no longer pretended to be strong. The trust and protection from Elizabeth made Chloe's eyes a little sour.
This must be a mother's unconditional trust and protection for her daughter. She had felt it before, but after so many years, this feeling suddenly emerged, catching her off guard and making her feel touched.
Her eyes trembled slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her indifferent face, warm and soft.
Damon looked at her expression, his eyes dimmed slightly, and he walked up to her, pulling her into his arms.
"I'll take you home."
Damon's appearance made everyone become serious. They stepped back a few steps, not daring to say another word.
"You can't leave!"
Sierra suddenly shouted again, striding to block Chloe and Damon.
An extremely cold aura almost froze the entire venue. Everyone gasped in shock, not daring to make a sound. Looking at Damon's cold and handsome face, Sierra's legs suddenly went weak.
"Damon..."
"Move." Damon's voice was indescribably cold.
At this moment, Chloe held Damon's arm tightly and said softly,
