Becky huffed, not willing to admit she was not that bright.
“But that woman, she’s just infuriating. Clearly something happened earlier, but she just carried on as if
nothing happened. What’s the driver thinking? On roads like these, the slightest thing could have you
jumping out of your skin. She’s got some nerve.”
Barbara, who’d been maintaining a poker face, finally frowned at this. That woman was indeed as
tough as nails. No doubt about that.
The driver was clearly flustered, so something serious must have happened. Chloe had even
mentioned a matter of life and death, but her demeanor suggested nothing of the sort. Was it because
she was mentally strong, or was she just putting on a show? If it was the latter, then this woman was
truly a master of deception.
“Drive a bit faster Her expression darkened, and surprisingly, she urged the driver to speed up c2
Becky was puzzled. “What will we do if we catch up with them? That woman, Chloe, will probably
irritate us again. I don’t want to see her anymore. She’s just too annoying
Barbara shook her head, “No, we need to not only catch up with her, but surpass her”
Becky furrowed her brows, unable to grasp Barbara’s plan.
Damon wasn’t driving too fast.
Chloe, sitting shotgun, initially thought he was giving her time to recover from the recent incident,
allowing her to adjust her emotions as much as possible But after a few minutes, he showed no sign of
speeding up.
She took a deep breath, turning to Damon, and said, “I’m fine now. You can speed up.”
Damon’s brow furrowed slightly and after a few turns, he pulled over “What’s wrong?”
Damon got out of the car, retrieved a beautifully wrapped black box from the trunk, and handed it to
Chloe. “Hold this.”
Chloe examined the box. The car’s interior light was dim, but the box was clearly fancy, with two holes
on each side, each about an inch in diameter
It was pitch dark inside, and she couldn’t see what was in there. She looked at Damon with curiosity
and asked, “What is this?”
“A gift”
Chloe was even more confused. “How come you suddenly thought of giving me a gift?”
Damon glanced at her, replying nonchalantly. “It’s not what you think”
“Huh?”
“It’s not for you.”
Chloe didn’t say anything. She paused in the act of opening the box, and a slight hint of displeasure
crossed her face. If it’s not for me, then who is it
for?
“Miss Fiona.”
Upon hearing this. Chloe shoved the box back into Damon’s hands. “Why would I hold a gift you’re
giving to her?”
Damon looked down at the box, a hint of discomfort flashing across his gaze.
Chloe was furious The recent incident was too heart–stopping. If they didn’t do something to distract
themselves, they couldn’t escape the emotional turmoil And today was Fiona’s birthday after all.
Damon giving her a gift wasn’t unreasonable. However, his previous flattering remarks combined with
this gift made Chloe feel uneasy.
Damon picked up the box and was just about to hand it back to her when a light flashed outside. After a
short while, another car pulled up parallel to theirs, with a honk of the horn
Chloe hesitated, Damon made no move, so she lowered the window The window on the other car
rolled down, revealing Barbara’s face, full of cancer. “Is everything okay? Do you need help?”
Chloe didn’t respond to Barbara, instead, she looked at Damon
Without a word, Damon raised the window again Barbara was left hanging, a mix of emotions playing
across her face. This was akin to a slap in the face In these past few days, her dignity as a princess
had been repeatedly suppressed and insulted, leaving her with very little patience.
Raising the window and instructing the driver to drive on, they managed to reach their destination
before Chloe, as planned.
Watching their car drive away, Chloe finally spoke to Damon “You knew they were going to follow us,
didn’t you?”
Damon gave her a look “Didn’t you?”
Chloe pursed her lips. “Then why did you deliberately slow down and even stop here, allowing them to
go ahead of us?”
Damon placed the box back on Chloe’s lap “Remember to give this to Miss Fiona personally
Chloe frowned “I thought it was your gift?”
Damon. “I only gift you. This is for you to give to her”
This made Chloe feel better, but it was still prepared by him
“My grandmother already prepared a gift for her You can give her this as your gesture.”
“No need to give her that gift.”
Chloe’s eyebrows furrowed. “Why not?”
“Because she doesn’t need it, and isn’t special to her. Besides, no one wants to receive the same gift
twice on their birthday.”
“The same?”
Damon glanced at her, not saying anything. Chloe looked ahead through the car window, and she
suddenly realized something. “You mean..”
Damon smirked. His wife was so smart and adorable.
Chloe’s expression was conflicted. She had suspected that Barbara and Becky wouldn’t easily give up
on attending the Duke Dubonnet family’s banquet, but she hadn’t expected them to know about her gift.
Well, the gift was prepared by her grandmother, representing a gift fit for royalty But aside from being
luxurious and noble, there was nothing particularly special about it. It was a set of ruby red jewels,
crafted by a royal jeweler, exquisite in every detail Even for a young miss, it would be fitting to wear
As Damon mentioned, Miss Fiona did not lack that.
The esteemed Duke Dubonnet graciously hosted more than twenty birthday celebrations. In fact, the
presents that were received over the years were
limited to certain kinds
Chloe shook the gift box in her hands with a puzzled look ‘So, what exactly is this?”
Damon’s face tightened slightly, his lips pressing together. Be careful with it”
