Chapter 882
At a high–end spa, Wendy was having a full body treatment with a friend, Vera.
Her friend was a rising star with a successful career.
She was an artist from Hong Kong who signed with a local agency but didn’t make any significant achievements.
Back then, the spotlight was on the experienced artists, the veteran leading actors and actresses, and it was
difficult for her, a newbie with average acting skills, to get noticed.
In the end, she decided to ditch her career in Hong Kong and try her luck somewhere else. She quickly became
well–known because she was already a big deal in the entertainment industry.
She also successfully signed with a well–reputed entertainment company, and her
career had been going smoothly these past few years.
She came back recently to attend some promotional events and made a point to meet Wendy, knowing she had
just returned from abroad.
“You’ve been grooming this person for so long, and now someone else is swooping in and stealing him away. Are
you okay with that?”
The woman was reclining on the massage table, her smooth skin covered in massage oil, being kneaded by the
masseuse. She sounded rather content.
“How could I possibly be okay with that…”
Whenever Wendy thought about the sight of the two passionately kissing on the hospital sofa, her heart ached.
The man she didn’t dare to touch was passionately kissing a woman.
Every time her mind settled, it would be filled with the image of him kissing that woman.
All night, whenever she closed her eyes, she would see the fiery desire in his eyes when he turned his head.
Just that look, which wasn’t meant for her, made her blood boil over and over again, leaving her weak all over.
“I believe he was just momentarily bewitched, it’s his first woman after all. Once the ty wears off and he sees
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtreality, he will come back. What I need to do is not only wait but also make him realize and come back as soon as
possible.”
“All men are the same. Their hearts can’t belong to just one woman. With power, status, and money, what do
women even count for? They could probably give their heart to any woman, but definitely not the first one. The
man’s first woman is often the first one to be ditched.”
This was one of the insights she gained after so many years in the entertainment industry.
Wendy chuckled, “Yeah, so I’m not in a hurry. As long as he’s willing to turn around in the end.”
At this moment, a familiar ringtone sounded. A waiter came over with a phone.
“Miss, it’s your phone.”
Taking the phone, Wendy’s face was tinged with a hint of melancholy, “What’s up?”
After listening to the other party, Wendy’s lips curled up slightly in a mix of sarcasm and pleasure.
“I get it.”
After hanging up, she told the masseuse, “I’m done here.”
Vera asked with a puzzled look, “What happened?”
“That woman is going shopping, and she’s taking Katie with her.”
Vera also sat up, her face meticulously made up. It was a face that could be displayed in public.
“What are you planning to do?”
Wendy gave a slight smile, a hint of mockery in her eyes.
“I’m going to see how that woman gets played.”
Vera raised an eyebrow, “What do you mean?”
As the two headed to the washroom, Wendy laughed, “Katie, that useless person, is so surprisingly similar to the old
me.”
Chloe was somewhat surprised to see the woman who suddenly appeared in the living room.
The woman had thick hair that completely obscured her eyes. She had a simple ponytail, black–framed glasses, and
a gray cotton and linen long dress with inevitable wrinkles.
The dress did not accentuate her waist or reveal her neck. Even the long sleeves on her wrists only revealed a
small section, just enough to see her wrist.
Apart from using a lot of fabric to highlight that she was wearing a dress, it didn’t have any advantages.
To put it nicely, it was a gown with a strong ethnic and retro vibe.
From a distance, it even had a bit of a classical charm.
But…
“This is Katie, she doesn’t have any friends, right? You take her out for a stroll.”
Chloe’s lips curled up slightly, was she going shopping with her?
She had only been to Hong Kong a few times and hadn’t really had a good walk around.
It felt like Presley was throwing trouble at her.
“Hello, Mr. Harper…”
She greeted Damon, then her gaze lingered on Chloe for two seconds before quickly shifting away.
“Hello.”
“Hello.”
Chloe felt a bit awkward. She was a person used to being alone and didn’t like to meddle in other people’s affairs.
When she went out in the past, she would mostly just go with Rose.
Now suddenly there was a stranger going with her, and in such an outfit, was Presley trying to… help her buy some
clothes? Damon frowned slightly, giving Presley a cold look.
“I’ll go with her.”
“Nonsense. I’ve already called someone, isn’t this disrespectful?”
Chloe’s gaze settled on Presley.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmPresley also stared at her, a hint of unease flashed across his face, then he shouted angrily,
“What are you looking at?! Are you thinking of some scheme again?!”
Chloe raised an eyebrow, grabbing Damon’s hand, “It’s okay, I can go by myself. It’s just shopping.”
Damon fell silent for a few seconds, not insisting, “I’ll find you as soon as I’m done.”
“Okay.”
“I’ll arrange for a few people to follow you.”
Chloe nodded slightly, not refusing.
Although she didn’t know much about the Harper family’s situation, she knew that there were people watching
Damon’s weaknesses in the dark.
She didn’t deny that she was one of Damon’s weaknesses, so she naturally had no objections to how Damon
arranged for her, who was his weakness.
After Damon left, Chloe couldn’t help but look at Katie again.
Her head was slightly lowered, and when she realized Chloe was looking at her, she lowered her head even more.
Chloe frowned. This personality…
“Katie is a good girl, you two should get along. Damon and Nathan’s mother will be back tomorrow, and the social
activities in their circle are inevitable. You should take care of each other and buy some dresses.”
Presley said a few vague words, then stood up and walked upstairs.
Chloe sighed in her heart, then stood up. The servants in the living room were busy with their own tasks. Chloe,
expressionless, walked towards Katie, who was standing there.
And then, she stopped.
Feeling a powerful and icy aura approaching, Katie hunched her shoulders, buried her head deep, and took two
steps back.
Chloe’s brows twitched slightly, and suddenly, she reached out and grabbed Katie’s chin.
