chapter 159

Although she wasn’t interested in business, she knew that air taxis had become a new field in recent years, with great prospects for development.

No wonder her father was so excited.

After hearing Damian’s words, Clayton realized that the rejection he received from the Walters Group that afternoon must have had something to do with Damian.

But he didn’t dare show even the slightest hint of dissatisfaction on his face.

Damian was not Claudine; he couldn’t afford to offend him.

“Dami, since Mr. Colton is your friend, how about I arrange a dinner for everyone to talk about a possible collabora- tion?”

Clayton assumed Damian wanted a share of the project.

Although he wanted the project all to himself, he knew he stood little chance against the Barrette Group. Rather than being pushed out, it was better to cooperate and at least get a small piece.

Claudine glanced at Damian.

She didn’t know whether Damian would choose to work with her father or keep his promise and help her brother.

She had done everything she could, even using the memory of the deceased child to evoke Damian’s guilt.

But if Damian still chose his own interests-

Then she…

“What are you all doing standing at the door? Come in, we’re just waiting for you to start dinner.”

At that moment, Bridgette suddenly appeared, interrupting their conversation.

As soon as she finished speaking, a small head peeked out from behind her.

“Daddy, you’re finally back!”

Darlene happily ran over to Damian on her short little legs

Damian bent down and picked up the child.

He kissed the little one on the check and then spoke to Bridgette.

“Mom, thank you for taking care of Darla for me.”

Bridgette ignored him.

Ever since hearing what her daughter had said, Bridgette had grown increasingly displeased with Damian.

If Darlene weren’t such a sweet and clever child, she would have wanted to kick both father and daughter out of the Hogan’s mansion.

Clayton noticed the change in his wife’s attitude toward Damian. He secretly blamed her in his heart, but on the sur- face, he became even more attentive to Damian.

“Dami, let’s go in and cat.”

“I have a bottle of fine wine that’s been cellared for years. Tonight, let’s have a good drink together, just the two of

us.”

Claudine walked ahead and naturally heard her father’s words.

She looked back and happened to see her father bowing obsequiously as he walked beside Damian.

Claudine looked away in disgust after just one glance.

She despised her father’s fawning over Damian, but wasn’t she also using Damian’s power to suppress her father?

A vague sense of unease rose in her heart.

From what she knew of Damian, whenever interests were involved, he would always choose the option most benefi- cial to himself without hesitation.

Now, would he really give up such a huge benefit and keep his promise out of guilt?

She couldn’t help but look back again, and this time, she met Damian’s gaze.

Damian had no idea about the anxiety in Claudine’s heart at that moment.

He whispered something in his daughter’s ear, and after thinking for a moment, Darlene nodded in agreement.

In the dining room, the servants had already set the food on the table.

Clayton naturally sat at the head of the table, with Bridgette on his left and Damian on his right.

Claudine wanted to sit with her mother. As soon as she sat down, a small head popped out from under the table.

Darlene lay on Claudine’s lap, looking up and asking, “I want to sit with Grandma. Is that okay?”

After spending the whole day with Darlene, Bridgette truly found her adorable.

“Of course you can.”
