The Reborn Wife Of The Tyrant CEO -
Chapter 281 - 277
Chapter 281: Chapter 277
"Jones, are you okay?" I really didn’t know how to describe the two of them.
Jones smiled, lying on the ground with his eyes closed.
Scarlett squatted down, trying to wipe the blood off his face, but he suddenly opened his eyes and pushed her hand away.
Scarlett stared at him dumbfounded, unable to react for a moment.
"Damon, get up!" I urgently pulled Damon’s hand, trying to make him stand up
Damon stood up but gave me a cold look and left.
His look startled me, and I didn’t know what had happened.
Fortunately, Mitch followed him. Maybe I can learn what happened from him later.
"Ms. Scarlett, I’ll leave the rest to you. Sorry, I didn’t expect this to happen." I said to Scarlett.
"I see." Scarlett’s expression was complicated, but she nodded in understanding.
I knew I couldn’t stay here any longer. Now, everyone was buzzing with talk, either about Nicole or speculating about what Damon and Ariel had done in the room.
People were also looking at me from time to time. Their curious gaze made me very uncomfortable.
After leaving the Luxury Hotel, I was stopped by Zoe.
She didn’t look well, and there was a slap mark on her face. It looked like she had been hit. Her eyes were red, but she didn’t cry, obviously holding back..
"What happened?" I asked in surprise.
"Nothing. I got slapped by my dad." Zoe touched her face, forcing out a smile, "Eliana, Damon seems to have deep feelings for you. Was it a bit presumptuous of me to compete with you?"
My mind was a mess at this point. Seeing Zoe’s downcast expression, I couldn’t help but comfort her, "No. You are special to Damon. His feelings for me are just resentment. The reason I agreed to live with him again was to make him tired of me and see his true heart."
This reason was convincing. Zoe thought for a while and then nodded, "Okay, I believe you."
I felt a bit guilty. I made up this reason on the spot, but it did not contradict my real intention.
"Why did your dad hit you?" I asked again.
"Damon and Ariel have been entangled until now. Everyone has seen it," Zoe pouted, "My dad thinks I shouldn’t give up my dignity to pursue Damon, so he slapped me. What right does he have to control me? He never took good care of me. He’s just an irresponsible father."
I told her calmly, "Zoe, your father’s worries are not unreasonable. Look at Damon’s past scandals and his relationship with Ariel now. These are things you need to consider. Even if he is with you, you may not be able to adapt to that kind of life." Zoe thought for a moment seriously, then showed a grateful smile as she said, "I understand, but I’ve always been a stubborn person. When that day comes, I won’t blame anyone but myself."
"Alright. Good luck." I smiled and said goodbye to Zoe.
I wasn’t sure if Damon had returned to Starlight Estates, so I needed to go back and check. I needed to know what he meant by what he said today.
When I got back to Starlight Estates, Hannah told me that Damon hadn’t come back.
It was almost eleven o’clock at night.
I wasn’t worried that Damon would be in danger. What I was worried about was that some things might affect the deal between him and me.
"Ms. Brooks, are you okay?" Hannah suddenly asked me.
"I’m fine. What’s up?" I replied.
She handed me her phone. It turned out that someone had posted Damon and Ariel’s scandal online. The video content was very explicit; the first half was Nicole making love in public, and the second half was Damon and Ariel walking out of the room in disarray.
The most liked comment was ’A love story between a domineering CEO and a pure beauty! It seemed that everything in the past was just a seasoning for their love!’
Hannah saw these and was worried that I would be hit.
I returned the phone to her, then answered casually. "I’m fine. I’m used to it."
She looked worried but didn’t say anything more. It seemed that I needed to be alone for a while.
The servants had already gone to bed. I went upstairs alone to the master bedroom,
I felt uneasy.
In the quiet room, the phone rang suddenly. Although I was a little scared, I quickly answered the call. It was Luna.
She relayed what she had learned from Mitch and explained the meaning of Damon’s words. The truth was very surprising.
"Could Jones be that kind of person?" Luna’s tone was full of disbelief.
"How could this happen?" I was also in shock and couldn’t recover for a while.
I had visited Jones not long ago when he showed me the screenshots of his conversation with Damon. Unexpectedly, Someone took a photo of our meeting and sent it to Damon this morning.
This directly led to Damon’s suspicion of me, so he refused to go to the engagement banquet with me.
And it was because of jealousy that he ignored me deliberately at the hotel, giving Ariel the opportunity to be alone with him.
However, the person who sent him the photos was Jones. Even Ariel used Jones’s name to successfully deceive Damon into entering the room with her.
No wonder Damon was so angry with Jones.
"Where is Damon now?" I recovered from my shock and asked nervously.
He must think that I met Jones that day because there were still feelings between me and Jones. I have to explain it to
him.
Otherwise, both my dad’s and Joshua’s affairs will be delayed.
Luna gave me the address of a nightclub and told me that Mitch and Cooper were also there.
Without a word, I immediately drove to the nightclub. They didn’t book a private room today but sat in a booth on one side. The round table in the middle was full of drinks, and under the glasses, there were stacks of cash.
Two ladies who were playing drinking games were with Damon, their legs suggestively draped over his.
Seeing me approach, Mitch heaved a sigh of relief as he said, "Took you long enough. Get Damon home, will ya? I gotta take care of the kids."
"I gotta crash early tonight too," Cooper chimed in uncharacteristically.
Damon glanced at me, his eyes void of warmth. He grabbed some bills from the table and stuffed them into the bosom of one of the ladies,
Mitch and Cooper exchanged a look before making a swift exit.
"Damon, lay off the booze," I said, taking a seat and trying to keep cool. "When we get home, I can explain everything to you."
"And after your explanation, you’ll just use me again, right?" Damon sneered. "I tossed the ring he gave you, but you still went to see him yourself. I never realized how smitten you are with him."
