Chapter 2627
Miley hesitated for a moment, after which she fell silent, despondent and dejected.
"Take me back to my room," Chloe ordered the housekeeper with a glance.
"Of course," the housekeeper replied, before wheeling Chloe away.
Miley turned her gaze to Chloe, feeling a little distressed and helpless. She had hoped for the best for her daughter. Chloe used to shine like a bright star in the night sky.
Everyone admired her, and she was the daughter Miley was most proud of.
But now, her daughter had fallen from grace, and there was nothing Miley could do at all because of the failures of her own family. She even had to get Damien's approval before she could say anything to the Riddle family.
Just as she was lost in thought, Miley suddenly heard Damien's yell, snapping her out of it. "What are you staring at?"
"You're back," Miley said in a soft, timid voice upon noticing Damien.
"Pour some coffee for me," Damien said grumpily, already seated on the sofa.
After getting him his Cup of Joe, Miley carefully asked,"
What's wrong? Are things not going well?"
Though she did not know what Damien was busy with, she was certain that he was occupied with something for the past few days, as he had been out working until late at night. 'He looks upset. Something must've happened, right?'
"Yes, I had to deal with a bunch of snobs," Damien cursed in frustration.
He had never expected that those who used to flatter him would actually start giving him a hard time following his downfall.
He knew that Chloe wanted to reestablish a company, so he did his utmost to not lag behind. For that reason, he had been trying to leverage his connections. However, all they had given him were excuses and refusals.
