Chapter 198: Chapter 194

Why should I be down?

Whenever I have seen Damon pamper Ariel , I can’t help but think back to those days when he ignored me. It was suffocating, and I felt pitiful

"Carry on." I said, tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear and smiling

As soon as I finished, Damon’s face turned even darker.

Ariel glanced back at him, but he didn’t try to hide his mood from her.

Ariel was just a second version of me.

When I left, I heard footsteps and Ariel ’s frantic calls behind me, "Damon,Damon"

Damon ignored her and followed me out of the party. As soon as I turned around, I saw him.

"Are you stalking me?" I asked, my face cold and irritable, "Back off"

"You know Jones is going behind your back to arrange blind dates, and you’re still holding on?" Damon asked, frowning, "Eliana, do you really want to repeat our mistakes?"

I laughed scornfully, "Are you trying to convince me to break up with Jones? Why?"

There was an almost imperceptible heat in Damon’s eyes. His throat bobbed as he said, "No. I’m just curious about your choice."

Curiosity or unwillingness?

No doubt, my being with Jones was a blow to Damon. He had never taken the woman who had been chasing him seriously

But now I was not only divorced from him but also dating his friend.

Damon must be uncomfortable

Even before our divorce, he had started to suspect me and Jones

"What I decide to do is none of your business. Damon, you’re about to get engaged with Ariel . You shouldn’t leave her to follow me."

Damon was about to answer when his phone rang He glanced at the caller ID and hung up

But the phone rang again. It must have been Ariel

Damon answered the phone impatiently His response surprised me, "Haven’t I told you not to bother me unless it’s an emergency?"

I couldn’t hear the voice on the other end, but I could tell it wasn’t Ariel calling him.

While Damon was on the phone. I quickly got in my car and drove off

Once home, I listed all the people I could remember and began researching their backgrounds and any business ties with my company.

Just as I was busy doing that, my mom came back.

She looked pale. She sat down next to me and asked," Eliana, what’s this?"

These are some of the people from the Soul Enterprises ribbon-cutting ceremony today. I only wrote down the ones I recognize.

I was worried that Ariel had also done background checks on these people and would target them in the future to undermine my company

My mom took the list I wrote down, looked it over, and said, "I thought you wouldn’t recognize a single person."

I felt guilty. I hadn’t paid much attention to the company’s affairs in the past.

We analyzed the people on the list and identified a few who were most likely to leave our company for Soul Enterprises.

But these were only suspicions, not certainties, so we needed to observe them further.

Soul Enterprises was very high-profile, so it had been getting a lot of attention in the city since it opened.

Meanwhile, a news story about Damon having an intimate date with a woman at a nightclub greatly increased Soul Enterprises’ exposure.

Ariel was already his girlfriend. Once the news broke, netizens immediately began to discuss

"Mr. Coleman is just being his old self!!!"

"Weren’t they supposed to be true lovers? How did that change so quickly?

"How old are you? How can you still believe in true love? Rich people love to play more than anyone else. If I were rich, I’d also have multiple women."

"That actress looks like Emma Watson, the lead actress in the popular web series ’Reincarnation of the demon queen !"

Netizens soon revealed the identity of the actress who was dating Damon. She was a rising star. It was impressive how quickly she got close to Damon

I counted the number of actresses I’ve been paying attention to because of Damon-more than I could count on both hands. It felt like all my energy was spent on keeping track of his rumored girlfriends.

Now it was Ariel’s turn to deal with this. I wonder if she could be as patient as I was.

I was reading the news when Jones suddenly called.

We hadn’t been in touch much lately. Ever since Damon showed me that picture, I’ve been feeling a bit weird. Even when Jones actively texted me, I just gave him simple replies.

Watching my phone vibrate non-stop. I hesitated.

The phone vibrated a second time. It was still Jones. I took a deep breath and answered.

"What’s going on? Why are you suddenly so cold to me?" He asked as soon as I picked up.

He must have felt it

I chose my words carefully, thinking about how to ask him about his blind dates and how to tell him what his mother had said to me

"Did I do something wrong?" Jones asked when I didn’t respond.

"No. Jones, where were you on the day Soul Enterprises opened?" I decided to ask him directly

Jones was silent for a moment, then said apologetically. "I went to see someone. My mom said she was a friend of hers. She was having heart trouble, so my mom asked me to take her to the hospital."

Is that so? I thought of the woman’s smile in the picture and Jones’s not-so-averse expression.

"Then.... Why did you have dinner together?" I asked hesitantly.

He was supposed to take her to the hospital, not a restaurant.

Jones suddenly laughed, "Are you jealous?"

I was taken aback. My questions sounded a bit jealous, but I knew I wasn’t jealous.

I wanted to keep things smooth with Jones, so I didn’t want any misunderstanding between us.

"Just think I was jealous, okay? Explain to me." I didn’t deny it.

If this could enhance our relationship, then why not?

"When I got there, she was eating. She asked me to wait, so I sat down and waited for her. Later I found out that my mother intended to introduce her to me as a blind date, so I got her out of the car halfway, and then I went back to the hospital", Jones detailed. He sounded kind of explaining it.

The usually icy Dr. Jones actually took the time to explain this misunderstanding to me. My mood slightly improved.

But then his next question caught me off guard, "Eliana, how did you know what I was doing that day? Who told you?"

"I..."I was at a loss for words.

"Damon?" Jones guessed it right away, "He drove by that day and I saw him. He told didn’t he?"
