Chapter 267: Chapter 263

By the evening. I noticed it started to snow outside, so I decided to stretch my legs a bit. Just as I was about to head out, I saw Damon’s car pull up. But it wasn’t him who got out, but his assistant, Felix.

Felix jogged into the villa, and instinctively, I peeked out of my door to see that he had headed upstairs. He looked surprised to see me but quickly regained his composure. He gave me a nod before rushing up to the third floor.

I followed him up and watched as he went into Damon’s study

Damon’s study was a strictly private place. I’d only gone in when he was there.

The door to the study had a facial recognition lock. If it failed three times, it would trigger an alarm.

Felix came out of the study pretty quickly, with a document in hand. He nodded at me again before quickly leaving

After he left, I somehow found myself standing at the study door.

I wondered if Damon had looked into my dad and Joshua and left any clues in his study.

"Beep!"

The lock beeped, indicating a facial recognition failure. I jumped, quickly stepping away to avoid triggering it again.

Back in my room, my heart was pounding. I felt like a thief. After all, the information in the study was critical and confidential.

The more nervous I was, the more I wanted to find what I was looking for in the study If I could find it, I’d leave Starlight Estates immediately

Damon didn’t come back all night, but I got a call from Luna, "Eliana, you okay after last night?"

"Was it you who told Damon where I was?" I was a bit angry. "Luna, did you betray me?"

"I didn’t! It was that dummy, Mitch, who told Damon I wanted to find you, but my babysitter called me and said my daughter wouldn’t stop crying, so I had to go home." Luna pleaded, "Eliana, don’t be mad! I’ve given Mitch a piece of my mind. I’ll buy you more bags and more clothes! Whatever you like, I’ll get it for you!"

I sighed helplessly. I knew Luna wouldn’t betray me.

"Forget it. Just be wary of Mitch. He’s Damon’s spy" I warned Luna.

"I’ll give him a piece of my mind" Luna said, abruptly changing the subject, "Did you hear? Sofia’s pregnant. Her husband has invited us over. Are you coming?"

Sofia was pregnant? I was surprised but happy for her.

So much had happened recently that I didn’t have time for daily girl talk like before.

I agreed, "Sure, when?"

"Day after tomorrow. I’ll text you their address."

"Okay," I said, then drifted off to sleep.

It was the most relaxed night I’d had since returning to Starlight Estates, probably because Damon wasn’t around.

The next day. I got up early, had breakfast, and went to work. I had a small business summit to attend.

Around 9:30 in the morning, my assistant and I arrived at the venue. The entrepreneurs attending the summit were all big shots from the city.

"Ms. Brooks, long time no see" Nancy was already there. She came over to greet me with a smile.

I didn’t see Ariel. I wondered where she was.

I looked at Nancy’s outstretched hand, smiled, and shook it, "Long time no see."

Nancy let go of my hand. She patted her collar lightly, elegantly, and casually saying, "Who knew Ms. Brooks was so capable? You’ve managed all the difficulties left by your mother on your own. You even have time to attend today’s summit. I’m impressed."

Her words sounded like praise but were dripping with sarcasm.

"Ms Nancy, you flatter me. I’ve been learning from my parents since I was little, so I’ve picked up quite a few business skills," I flicked my hair back, bearing. "You didn’t think I was like you, did you?"

"What do you mean?" Nancy’s eyes turned cold

"isn’t your background common knowledge?" I feigned surprise, "Sorry, I can speak softer"

Nancy’s ex-husband was a nobody. Their two daughters had just grown up when he suddenly disappeared and was never heard from again.

Not long after Catherine’s incident, Nancy went abroad, leaving Karen in the country

She treated her two daughters very differently

All in all, Nancy’s marriage to the vice president of Harmony Enterprises showed she had some skills, but it didn’t change her past or her marriages

"You don’t have to be sarcastic. If you were in my shoes, you might not have achieved what I have" Nancy seemed very confident in her abilities and methods. She replied calmly

" what have you achieved?" I pretended to think, then had a sudden realization, "Oh, I get it. Your achievement is that you used your late daughter to slander Damon and me, used her unborn child to provoke Damon, and forced him to cooperate with Soul Enterprises, right?"

Nancy’s face immediately turned into an angry mask. If it weren’t for the other people present, she might have killed me on the spot.

Her reaction was satisfying. Since she purposely tried to upset me, I decided to return the favor.

After saying my piece, I turned around and found my seat. That was my second business summit. The first one was about three years ago, when I attended with Damon. Back then, my goal was to witness his love at first-sight for Ariel.

As I settled in, I finally got a look at Ariel. She was dressed to the nines today, looking every bit the career woman. Confidence oozed from her, but her smile stiffened as she caught sight of me.

The seating arrangement today was kind of funny. Ariel’s spot was just to my left. Once she confirmed her seat, she plonked down next to me.

"Mr. Colemans in the house!" someone bellowed from across the room. All eyes swiveled in that direction.

Damon always managed to steal the spotlight at those kinds of events. Whether it was his status or his looks, he had the knack to turn all heads.

Dressed in a simple yet snazzy black suit, the gold buttons on his cuffs twinkled under the lights as he moved. Standing close to 6’3″, with a body to die for, he looked like a professional model who just happened to be wearing a suit.
