Chapter 714 “You’re right! If you are the in-law of the Johnston family, no one will dare to look down on your dad
and me any longer…” As Miley thought about it, her eyes lit up. “My girl, mom can only depend on you now.” Chloe
let out a gleeful smile. “Don’t worry, mom, I won’t disappoint you.” As she thought of it, the sound of the door
opening suddenly rang out. Miley frowned and wanted to admonish the person for being so rude to interrupt her
conversation with her daughter.
However, when she saw the person, the flames of anger in her eyes disappeared, leaving only an aggrieved look in
them. Damien did not even look at Miley but instead turned to Chloe and said, “Chloe, has work been tiring? Why do
you suddenly have time to return home?”
Chloe looked at Damien. A faint sullen look flashed across her eyes as she complained to Damien, “Dad, how could
you hit mom?”
As she said that, she glanced at Miley. After hearing that, Damien’s expression changed. He did not expect Miley to

When Chloe saw his expression, she knew he was in a bad mood. Knowing that she could not speak against him
anymore, she instead acted spoiled at him. “Dad, even if you are in a bad mood, you cannot be taking it out on
mom, right? Also, that Nicole is really too much, and we cannot just take it lying down! We should be doing
something about it!”
She was confident that her father would believe her, yet the moment she mentioned Nicole, Damien’s expression
turned into hesitation. He turned to look at his daughter and said softly,” I know what you are thinking, but now is
not the time. Wait until we get another good business contract, then we don’t have to be gauging other people’s
mood before your grandpa any longer.”
How could Chloe not tell that Damien was just trying to blow smoke before her eyes? This was the umpteenth time
already. Chloe looked angrily at Damien. “Bear with it? What’s wrong with you, dad? This is not how you usually act!
Why are you so fearful of Uncle Daniel and his family?” She doubted, ‘Is this man still my previously decisive and
ruthless father?’
Heavens know how much Damien wanted to give up enduring it. Yet, at this moment, the old man was favoring
Daniel’s family, and Nicole could very well be the next pillar of the family.
So how can he go after her and look for trouble for himself?
Although her daughter had that bit of relationship with the Johnston Group, it was just a project, and no one could
guarantee how long she could be on it.
He knew his daughter very well, but Nicole was a true proven talent with a positive disposition, but his daughter…
No matter how much he doted on his daughter, he could not just listen to her and ruin that last bit of love his own
father had for him.
Rationality and clarity of mind aside, as he looked at his daughter’s angry face, Damien felt
distressed. He pondered a little before saying, “One more time. I’ll try one more time again. I won’t just sit here and
wait for my doom.” Damien thought, ‘The old man trusts Daniel too much now, and I cannot do anything.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs Chloe heard Damien’s words, even though she felt a little dissatisfied, she knew that this was the limit of
Damien’s compromise. So she did not push him any further and just sat there sullenly.
As he looked at his daughter’s expression. Damien felt distressed.
He had just this one daughter and had been doting on her every day, and she had never had to suffer such a
massive grievance before. Damien then persuaded Chloe for a bit more before the latter’s mood improved
somewhat. For the next few days, Nicole went through a much more peaceful period of time. Aside from the daily
rehearsals, she had nothing else to do.
After the rehearsal, Nicole and June went to the teacher’s office together to report the progress of the rehearsal in
the past few days.
They did not expect that Mr. Kennedy was seated before the desk of Mr. Louis as if he was a criminal awaiting
interrogation. Mr. Louis glanced at Mr. Kennedy and asked, “Mr. Kennedy, are you sure about resigning?”
