Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At this very moment, in the living room, Damon’s shocked gaze was fixed upon his sister Renilla.
He had never before seen Renilla in such a state of distress.
“What’s happening?” he inquired.
“Someone’s bullying me, sob sob sob…” Renilla wept as if she’d been grievously wronged. “She yanked my hair and shoved me down. My dress was torn by her.”
Damon listened to his sister’s cries, noticing her torn skirt and imminent exposure of her underwear. In a hurry, he removed his suit jacket and draped it over her.
With disheveled hair and tearful eyes, Renilla’s misery tugged at his heartstrings.
Turning his gaze to Huo Sicheng, he observed the man nonchalantly flipping through documents, seemingly oblivious to Renilla’s presence.
Why.
A sigh escaped Damon’s lips. Rather than taking her complaints to Huo Sicheng, Renilla might find more understanding in him.
As her older brother, he would undoubtedly stand up for her.
Renilla had sought out Huo Sicheng, yet he hadn’t spared her a single glance, treating her as if she were invisible.
“Sicheng, is there another woman in your life?” Damon questioned.
Huo Sicheng signed the contract and handed it to Harry. “I eagerly anticipate our collaboration. ”
Observing Huo Sicheng’s signature, Harry stood and shook hands with him.
“It’s an honor to engage in business with President Huo. Anticipate our growth.”
A slight nod from Huo Sicheng was his response.
Harry wisely refrained from involving himself in matters unrelated to the contract. With his assistant, he exited the living room.
Amidst Renilla’s sobs, Damon’s thoughts took an unexpected turn. He recalled a woman’s voice when he had sought out Huo Sicheng.
Initially dismissing it as a hallucination, he now questioned its reality, considering the woman who had indeed been in Huo Sicheng’s embrace.
Huo Sicheng wasn’t homosexual!
After all these years of his seemingly unattached life, the presence of a woman by his side indicated a significant connection.
Even as he comforted Renilla, he watched Huo Sicheng closely. “Sicheng…’ “Renilla brought this upon herself!” Huo Sicheng’s voice was cold.
Damon was taken aback. He hadn’t expected such unsympathetic blame from Huo Sicheng.
With Renee’s arrival in the living room, her gaze zeroed in on Huo Sicheng.
No amount of weeping seemed to sway him, as he paid her no attention whatsoever.
Her heart ached. She was the victim, yet Brother Sicheng seemed indifferent to her plight.
His cold words struck her like a thousand knives. She momentarily forgot her pretense and stared blankly at him.
“Brother Sicheng… How could you be so heartless to me? I’m the one suffering.”
“Only you know if you’re truly a victim,” Huo Sicheng’s gaze remained fixed on her. “I know who hit you. She wouldn’t have done so without reason. Her nature is to retaliate against those who wrong her.”
“In fact, I’m convinced she didn’t hit you at all.” His tone was resolute. “This is an act you’ve put on, seeking sympathy and venting your anger.” Huo Sicheng’s revelation left Renilla exposed, her plan dismantled.
What connection did that woman have with Huo Sicheng?
What justified his fierce protectiveness towards her?
Damon’s expression turned stern. “Renilla, is what he’s saying true?”
Aware of her innocent image in her brother’s eyes, Renilla couldn’t admit to it.
Such an admission would not only embarrass her in front of Huo Sicheng but also tarnish her reputation in her brother’s eyes.
While lightly slapping him wouldn’t matter, being perceived as a bad woman by Brother Sicheng was a grave concern.
“I didn’t…” She cried, “Brother, Brother Sicheng, I’m telling the truth. That woman did hit me. It’s true.”
Damon’s trust lay both with his sister and Huo Sicheng. He found himself torn.
Huo Sicheng wheeled closer to Damon.
“Are you here for cooperation or to console your sister?” He questioned. “You fail to comprehend the gravity of the situation. With your distraction, your father was justified in removing you from the board.”
Damon’s expression soured immediately.
Huo Sicheng’s assessment was accurate.
The contract discussion with President Harry was in its final stages and critical.
Ignoring Harry to comfort Renilla was inappropriate.
Cooperation negotiations frowned upon interruptions and distractions, especially at crucial junctures, both of which Damon had caused.
The business world mirrored a battlefield. Nobody spared each other.
“Sicheng, I concede my mistake this time. Please pardon me. I’m dedicated to this endeavor.” He apologized, emphasizing his affection for Renilla. “You know, Renilla means the world to me. I can’t bear to see her in pain or tears.”
Huo Sicheng retorted, “She doesn’t seem remotely distressed. She brought it upon herself!” With that, he left the living room.
“Brother, Brother Sicheng, he…” Renila clung to Damon, sobbing anew.
This time, her tears were genuine, her heart shattered by Huo Sicheng’s ruthless response.
“I warned you,” Damon consoled. “He has no feelings for you. You insisted on pursuing him.” He sighed, “Look, you’re hurt again. Just give up. He’s not meant for you.”
“He’s not for me, and he can’t belong to anyone else,” Renilla retorted. Her anger masked her tears. “Brother, you don’t understand. That woman is terrible, a shrew with no class! Huo Sicheng could never be interested in someone like her. I’m gentle and beautiful. He’s attracted to someone like me.” Damon’s interest piqued. “What does this woman look like?” He questioned, intrigued by Renila’s description. “You said she’s crude. How did she capture
Huo Sicheng’s attention? Where is she? Take me to her.”
Renilla’s delight was palpable. She was confident Damon would avenge her.
Quickly, she informed him, “I saw her in the kitchen before. Let’s go, Brother.
We can’t let her get away.”
Damon found himself pulled toward the kitchen by Renee.
Meanwhile, Huo Sicheng had already entered the kitchen. There, he found Gu Qingcheng gracefully savoring her meal, seemingly unaffected by Renilla’s presence.
“What? Hungry as well?” Gu Qingcheng quipped at Huo Sicheng. “Or have you come to settle scores on behalf of your ex, ‘White Moonlight!?”
Before Huo Sicheng could respond, a cheerful smile graced her lips.
“Let me enlighten you, Huo Sicheng. Everything Renila revealed is true. I hit her and berated her! If you’re here to defend her, then you have two options.”
“First, we fight!”
She refused to believe that a disabled person like Huo Sicheng could challenge her!
“Second, we can bypass the fight. We nullify everything that’s transpired
Sicheng, which will it between us. You walk your path, and I’ll walk mine..
Huo Sicheng, which will it he?”
