The Reborn Wife Of The Tyrant CEO
Chapter 213 - 209

Chapter 213: Chapter 209

"I just ran into Ariel" I started, looking at Damon.

Damon frowned and the grin on Zoe’s face behind him faded a lot.

She seemed to be more scared of Ariel, but didn’t seem to give a damn about me, his ex-wife.

"I came to the District to discuss cooperation with Scarlett Enterprises. They were very friendly to me before I came here, but now they’re avoiding me and chatting happily with Ariel instead. Don’t tell me this has nothing to do with you" I said bluntly.

Damon’s expression didn’t change, but Zoe looked surprised.

I ignored her reaction, waiting for Damon to respond.

"You think every bad thing that happens has something to do with me? Am I really that bad in your eyes?" Damon retorted angrily. There was a chill in his eyes.

"You don’t have to get mad. If I’m wrong", I apologize. After seeing Damon’s expression, I knew he wasn’t lying.

Ariel was just using his name to provoke me.

I was about to get in my car and leave when Damon stopped me, "Don’t rush off. If you’re suspicious of me, why don’t you confront me about it?"

Zoe’s eyes were darting between me and Damon. She looked very concerned.

She suddenly grabbed Damon’s arm, "Why are you so angry? You treated her so poorly, it’s normal for her to suspect you!"

Damon looked really annoyed. He shoved Zoe’s hand off and said impatiently. "Mind your own business!"

Zoe was taken aback and then plastered on an awkward smile. She wasn’t easily embarrassed. She had been getting along well with Damon, so she probably thought she was special to him.

But she quickly shrugged it off. "Eliana, I wanted to help you deal with him, but he’s too pissed. I can’t help you"

I smiled at her, "Thanks."

Damon glanced at Zoe, then grabbed my wrist and walked off to the side. "Let’s talk."

Zoe watched us walk away, waiting patiently.

Damon wanted to talk about how he thought his image in my mind was too negative, and he hoped I could change my opinion,

I blamed almost every difficulty and misfortune I encountered on him. He couldn’t stand it.

But it wasn’t my fault. During my past life, he left a deep psychological scar on me. He used so many extreme methods to torment my family, so I would unconsciously think all the bad things were done by him

And Ariel kept misleading me on purpose

I’m not that low If I really wanted to take revenge on you, I wouldn’t have waited for two years Damon concluded. His brow furrowed throughout the conversation.

"Alright, I got it. Maybe I’ve just been under too much pressure recently and misunderstood you. I’m sorry." I apologized calmly. I didn’t have the energy to argue with him anymore.

Damon’s face seemed to relax a little. He looked towards Zoe, but she was gone.

His eyes had a strange look. I tried to speak in a soothing tone, "You should go find her."

"No need. She’s too annoying" Damon’s voice was a little low

"Really? Damon, you’ve been treating her differently. Haven’t you noticed?" I felt a little sad. "I used to cling to you like that, but you didn’t treat me as well as you’re treating her. You wouldn’t even talk to me"

If back then, he could have treated me in the way he currently treated Zoe, maybe there would still be a future between us. But unfortunately, there wasn’t.

Damon was disgusted by what I said, "You’re not her, so of course I won’t treat you the same."

I found it quite ironic to see him deny it.

"If you don’t admit it, then forget it. Time will tell." I took a deep breath, "Alright, I have things to do. Bye!"

I turned and hurried away, leaving Damon alone by the roadside.

Autumn in the District was cold, and the roadside was covered with red maple leaves. Damon stood among the fallen leaves, getting further and further away from me.

I thought this business trip would end in failure. I was prepared for the worst. However, on the eve of my return to the city, I received a call from Mr. Dylan of Scarlett Enterprises. He said they were willing to cooperate with my company and requested to meet with me immediately to sign the contract

"Mr. Dylan, I’m looking forward to our cooperation!"

After signing the contract, I shook hands with Mr. Dylan and asked the question that had been bothering me, "I don’t quite understand. What made you change your mind?"

Mr. Dylan laughed and replied, "No particular reason. I just feel that your company is strong, so I hope to cooperate with you for us both to prosper in the future"

Although he said that, I always felt that things were not as simple as they seemed to be. Then, Mr. Dylan received a phone call, "Alright, I’ll come and have dinner with you right away. You’re all grown up, but you still need your dad to accompany you for meals?"

After sending Mr. Dylan off, I returned to the hotel. Along the way, I felt like I was dreaming.

When I reached the door of my room, I found Ariel waiting for me

She looked furious. She lost control of her emotions as soon as she saw me, "Eliana, what trick did you use to snatch Scarlett Enterprises? You’re so shameless!"

"We’re just competing fairly. How am I shameless? You’re being very rude, accusing me like this" I said with a smile.

"You went to Damon, didn’t you? You know he wants to get back together with you, so you deliberately used him. You know he’s my boyfriend now! Isn’t that shameless?" Ariel was furious. Obviously, this cooperation was very important to her as well

Before I could answer, Damon’s voice came from behind me, "I didn’t help her."

Damon’s appearance made Ariel pull a total 180. She was all joy and surprise, then ran over to him with a pitiful look, grabbing his hand, "I knew you’d come looking for me!"

I turned to look at Damon with amusement dancing in my eyes

Busy bee, wasn’t he?

"Mr. Coleman, thanks for clearing things up." I was feeling a bit lighter at this point, so I flashed him a smile.

Ariel wasn’t having any of it though, "Just a few days ago, Mr. Dylan and I were getting along just fine. We were about to sign a contract. How could he possibly change his mind out of the blue if nobody had meddled?"

She turned to look at Damon, "Damon, I’m your girlfriend. I’m the one who can give you what you want, right?"

Damon shot me a meaningful glance, and then, in a barely audible volume, he agreed.

I gave them a frosty smile. The word "loyalty" was clearly not in Damon’s dictionary. I had long since seen his true colors.

What I didn’t get, though, was what exactly Ariel could give Damon that he wanted? Her words seemed to have some hidden implication.

I lowered my gaze, avoiding their stares, "Carry on with your chat. I’m off to rest. I’d appreciate it if you didn’t disturb me anymore."
