As he thought about it, his gaze went towards a certain corner, and it lingered for a few seconds before he retracted it again. He reached out to steady the old man without saying anything.

"Dad, it’s getting late. Let's head home”

Presley glanced at him, then shifted his gaze to the entrance. His eyes widened as a swarm of journalists suddenly surrounded Chloe and Damon. He furrowed his brows, but before he could say anything, Robin led him away.

Nate, of course, wouldn't let the journalists anywhere near Chloe and Damon. He quickly formed a barrier around them, keeping the journalists at bay.b2

The situation was getting almost out of control. Damon and Chloe's escape route had been completely blocked.

The group of journalists found themselves trapped on one side, but what truly blocked Damon and Chloe's path were the unexpected rush of bystanders. Damon held Chloe close to him, his dark eyes gleaming with sharp, icy determination.

"Ms. Summers, we heard that your grandmother, Carolina, was recently admitted to the hospital. Were you aware of this?”

"Did you know but chose not to visit her? Even if you're not related by blood, you lived under the same roof for a while. Don't you feel guilty for not visiting her in the hospital?"

"Yeah, even if you're not related by blood, you did live together for some time. She might have favored others over you, but she never starved or abused you, did she?"

Chloe raised an eyebrow, her eyes darkening slightly as she replied dismissively.

“Firstly, I had no idea she was in the hospital. Secondly, even if she was, I'm under no obligation to visit her.

What I do is my business, not yours. Furthermore, before, you used the phrase Blood is thicker than water to accuse me of being heartless. Now, without the bond of blood, you're using the fact that we live under the same roof to criticize me for being callous. So, in your eyes, I must just let others bully me, and only then would you be satisfied, right?"

Their faces reddened at her words, but they stubbornly continued.

"You're so rich, why don't you give her some money?!"

"You seem to be doing all right, why don't you give me some money?!" Chloe scoffed at the woman standing in front of her, her words effectively silencing her.

“Why should I give you anything?!"

"So why should I give her anything? Lady, have you taken care of your own life before you come here to fight for others?"

The woman was left speechless by Chloe's retort.

Someone else quickly chimed in, “You're good with words, and we can't win against you. But facts are facts, if you're not guilty, why are all the posts accusing you being censored? You're clearly trying to cover things up: Chloe raised an eyebrow, glanced at Damon, and smirked, clearly amused by the situation.

"If I remember correctly, this issue was mentioned before the banquet began.’

“But you didn't provide a reasonable explanation, did you?"

Chloe laughed coldly, "You're busier than the entertainment industry's disciplinary committee”

A few fans and journalists couldn't help but chuckle.

Damon glanced at Nate, who immediately got the hint. He dialed a number on his phone. "Why hasn't the information we gave you been released yet? Do it now."

Hearing Nate's words, everyone looked confused, wondering, “What information? What's being released?"

Tjeu quickly checked their phones, but found nothing unusual.

At that moment, Robin and Presley emerged from the building. Seeing the crowd surrounding Chloe and Damon, Robin chuckled. "What's all this about?"

Chloe glanced at Presley, her expression turning cold, but she still nodded at him politely.

Presley coldly watched her, his lips tightly sealed, not uttering a word. He despised Wendy, but Chloe was no better. After all, she was the one who had bewitched Damon, causing him to abandon the Harper Group. Even if she was now worth a fortune, he couldn't ignore the way she had come between him and Damon. He felt a knot in his stomach whenever he thought about it.

Moreover, he had had a heated argument with Damon that night. It would be impossible for him to compromise first. He needed to make his stubborn grandson understand that without the Harper family, he was nothing. No matter how talented he was, he couldn't compete with the Harper family without decades of hard work and dedication.

How could he let his own grandson go his own way so easily?

Seeing the increasingly stern look on Presley's face, Chloe's eyebrows twitched slightly. She looked at Robin, standing beside him. Their eyes met, and after a few seconds, they both smiled. But anyone could tell how forced their smiles were.

Before Robin could respond, someone in the crowd shouted.

"Holy cow! The troll army has been busted!"

The shout seemed out of place, but it drew everyone's attention nonetheless.

"What's going on? What are you yelling about?"

“Why are you shouting? What's this about a troll army being busted?!"

"The troll army on social media! All the trolls on various social media platforms have been exposed!"

This news was definitely fresh and exciting. But it couldn't compare to the ongoing drama involving Chloe.

The crowd didn't pay much attention, but then they heard someone shout again, "So, all those online attacks against Ms. Summers and Mr. Harper were actually Wendy's hired internet trolls.” Everyone was surprised.

After a moment, they also realized that if it was Wendy's doing, it made sense.

"I knew from the start that those were trolls. But they were so aggressive, it was infuriating.”

"I knew there was something off about that group of unreasonable people. Turns out I was right.”

"No wonder Mr. Harper removed the trending topic. This is the right way to deal with trolls”

"The trolls are even targeting Mr. Harper now, unbelievable.”

“And let's not forget about the real netizens who've been led astray by these trolls, all of their personal information has been exposed. Over twenty thousand people.”

“Over...over twenty thousand people?"

"Yes"

As the truth dawned, the crowd that was just moments ago boasting in front of Chloe couldn't hide their panic.
