Chapter 214: Chapter 210

I closed the door, keeping myself apart from Damon and Ariel

I looked down at the contract in my hand and took a deep breath. A weight was finally lifted from me.

After returning to the city, Luna gave me a call.

"Eliana, Clara told me something really bizarre. I’ve also mentioned it to Mitch." Her voice was filled with confusion.

"Shoot"

I was visiting my mom in the hospital. I massaged her hand while answering Luna.

Clara bumped into Nick in the District, and at the time, Nick was having dinner with a company’s head. This company was one of Coleman Co’s strongest competitors. They had a huge rivalry over resources a few years back.

Wasn’t Nick Damon’s friend? Why was he dining with Coleman Co’s competitor?

It was indeed weird, but since Mitch knew about it, he’d definitely tell Damon.

"Eliana, my guess might sound like a conspiracy theory "Luna lowered her voice, "Who leaked that news about Damon’s father? I asked Steve. The anonymous person seemed to know the Coleman family really well. Could it be Nick?"

This guess gave me goosebumps, "No way night? Nick has no reason to do that!"

"Exactly! Isn’t he just the son of a driver from the Coleman family? The Colemans have helped him and his dad a lot. Why would he do that?" Luna was also puzzled

After chatting with Luna for a while, I hung up, but my mind was racing. Did Damon already know about this?

If his dad really had a love child... I couldn’t even imagine.

Knowing Damon, if he indeed had a half-sibling, he’d probably flip the world upside down to find them.

Although I was curious about it, I didn’t pay much attention to it. After returning to the city, besides working. I met with Jones quite often. We both tacitly avoided talking about the night before I left for the trip.

The man who tried to hurt my mom was caught, but he wouldn’t admit to being instigated. We could only let him be detained at the police station for now.

Meanwhile, I learned some bad news from the hospital. My mom could become a vegetable.

This news pushed my dad and me into deep sorrow. I felt like it was all my fault. I shouldn’t have sought Damon’s help, causing my mom to be agitated.

Then the doorbell rang. My dad went to open the door. His angry voice came from the entrance. "What are you doing here? Get out!"

I got up and went over, only to see Damon.

Despite my dad’s harsh words, Damon kept his cool. I was afraid my dad would attack Damon again, so I pushed Damon into the yard and let my dad stay in the living room

"I don’t want to get back with you or accept your compensation. My mom might become a vegetable. What more do you want? I divorced you and hurt your pride, but I’ve paid a high enough price!" I said, emotionally charged.

I was in a bad mood. After seeing Damon, I lost some control.

Damon looked like he hadn’t rested in days. He had dark circles under his eyes and an overall gloomy look. Normally I wouldn’t lash out at bim in this state, but the bad news from the hospital today really hit me hard.

He looked at my angry face but remained calm and said, "I’m sorry I just wanted to check on you"

"Damon, I don’t need you! Can’t you understand that? My family’s already in chaos. Do you want to make my dad sick as well?" I choked up. Thinking about my mom possibly never waking up again made me feel heartbroken.

Initially, I was relieved after securing a collaboration with Scarlett Enterprises, but I didn’t expect fate to be so cruel to me.

Tears slid down my face.

Damon reached out to wipe away my tears, his eyes were filled with sympathy.

I pushed his hand away, feeling a mix of emotions. Damon was like a poisonous vine, suffocating me. My past obsession with him had now turned into a determination to stay away from him

Thinking back, my misfortunes began when I married him.

Suddenly, a wave of helplessness and despair washed over me, "Do I need to kneel down and beg you to leave me alone?"

Before Damon could react, I was already on my knees. If kneeling and begging would make him leave my life for good and stop him from giving me pressure and trouble, I was willing.

I didn’t ask for much. I just wished for my parents to be healthy and for my family to live a peaceful life.

Damon looked at me in shock. He couldn’t believe I would do such a thing.

"Eliana. He grabbed my shoulders, trying to help me up, Don’t do this, okay?"

"Then promise me, take Ariel, and leave my life. The people I owe the most are my parents. I’ve ruined them!" I looked up at Damon, hot caring how absurd I looked right now.

Under my parents’ protection, I lived a comfortable life for many years. Now, my dad was about to retire, and my mom was in a coma. They only had me as their daughter, so I had to take up the responsibility of taking care of the family.

But as long as Damon was still bothering me, Ariel would keep targeting me. If that were the case, my house would never have peace.

Damon’s eyes were filled with disbelief and indescribable sorrow. He probably never thought I would beg him to leave one day.

After all, I was deeply in love with him for ten years, never holding back my feelings.

Even when he despised me, he couldn’t deny my love for him.

"Get up." Damon finally spoke again as his voice shook a bit, "I promise."

My heart skipped a beat, and my eyes lit up, "Will you get Ariel to leave me alone too?"

He forced a smile, "Yeah."

I breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how he did it, as long as he could get Ariel off my back, I was good.

Damon stooped down, supported my arm, and helped me up. I didn’t resist and thanked him sincerely.

"Let’s go inside. It’s getting windy" Damon said gently as he ruffled my hair.

I nodded and turned to walk inside. Though it was a short distance, I had a strong urge to look back at Damon. But I held it in.

My dad asked me what Damon and I had talked about. I told him Damon probably wouldn’t bother me anymore, or at least he wouldn’t take the initiative to.

Now I could throw myself into work and have a steady relationship with Jones. As for the outcome, I decided to just let it be.

About a week later, while I was swamped at work, the group chat with my friends suddenly lit up.

Luna kept messaging me in the group, "Eliana, big news!"

Sofia said, "Can’t believe Damon played Ariel like that."

Clara asked, "What on earth happened?"

Luna replied, "Haven’t you seen the news? Damon and Ariel have broken up, and they’ve been having a full-blown Twitter war!"
