Chapter 206
Leia followed Damon out of the villa and into the gazebo in the garden.
Seeing no one was around, Leia couldn’t hold back anymore. “Damon, if you have something to say, just say it.”
Damon stopped in his tracks, turned to face Leia, and got straight to the point. “Leia, what exactly are you up to?”
His words made Let’s heart tighten, but she quickly composed herself and blinked at him innocently, asking, “Damon, what do you mean? I don’t understand.”
“Drop the act” Damon said with a serious expressions
He took a step closer to Leia and said with concern, Leia, no matter how much you dislike Noelle, don’t do anything reckless. If you behave yourself, I promise you. Il protect you in the family”
If it w
were before. Leia might have wavered.
But after seeing how much Damon cared about Noelle and even argued endlessly with Eli over her. Leia knew the thing for sure that Damon would never stand by her side like he used to.
Not only Eli, but Damon and even Charlie were the same. They had all changed. They
ey had become biased and snobbish
They had wronged her, yet they still acted like they were the righteous ones. It was disgusting.
Leia had seen
seen through them, and she would never look back
Still. for the sake of her plan, she couldn’t turn against Damon just yet.
She put on a troubled look and said, “Damon, I really don’t know what you’re talking about. I genuinely want to get along with Noelle. Why won’t you believe me! Do you really see me as such a terrible person!”
“Lela…” Damon aid
Although Leia looked innocent, Damon didn’t buy it and believed there was no way she would ever make peace with Noelle.
Without another word, he grabbed her wrist and started pulling her toward the front gate. “Come with me.”
Damon’s sudden actions gave Leia quite a shock.
She struggled, trying to break free. “Damon, what are you doing!! Let go! If you don’t, I’ll scream! Help!”
Just as she started yelling. Damon spun around and covered her mouth. “Don’t shout!”
Leia bit down on his hand hard.
Blood immediately surfaced. Damon groaned in pain but didn’t let go. His eyes darkened, and he said sharply, “Co on, bite harder! See if you can lear right through it!”
Leia hadn’t expected him to be so resolved. He was bleeding, yet he still refused to release her.

She froze for a moment, caught off guard by the pain and worried look in his eyes, and stopped calling for help.
Sensing that her bite had loosened, Damon advised in a soft voice, “Leia, I’m begging you. Whatever you’re planning, stop now,
“What is it that you want? Money? Assets! I’ll give you everything under my name. It’s not muth, but it’s at least a few hundred million dollars.
“Or is it fame? I know you’ve been sidelined by Lighting Media. I can help you terminate the contract. I’ll pay the penalty for you. If you want to make a name for yourself in the entertainment industry, I have connections. I can help you. I can give you everything, but you love to stop”
Leia hadn’t expected Damon to go this far for her.
For a moment, she was stunned. She didn’t know if he was serious or was just trying to trick her into revealing her plans.
Just as she hesitated and was a little tempted, Bennett’s voice suddenly rang out from behind. “Leia!”
Both Leia and Damon turned to look at him.
Bennett was walking towards them with a smile on hils face

Cure he got closer, he pried Damon’s hand away and pulled Leia to his side to shield her. Then, with a sharp look, he asked, “Damon, whi doing! I could hear Leia screaming from a distance. Are you bullying her?”
“I wasn’t—” Damon’s expression darkened
Bennett had shown up at a bad timing.
“Yeah, right. Look at her eyes. She’s about to cry stern as he warned Damon

After that, he turned to Leis and said
said gently. “Leia, don’t mind Damon. Let’s head back to the house.”
“Mm…” Leia glanced at Bennett, then at Damon, who was still staring at her.
After a moment of hesitation, she chose to leave with Bennett.
So what if Damon was willing to give Leia everything
If she succeeded, she would get much more than a few hundred million dollars f
from
the family assets.
Furthermore, once Noelle was out of the picture, she would also have Nicolas. As the wife of a CEO, she would hav she would not settle for less
She was relieved that she had not fallen for Damon’s tricks and Bennett had arrived just in time.
I have a few billion dollars. Therefore,
At night, everyone gathered for dinner
The atmosphere was harmonious. Even Vincent, who usually looked stern, had a smile on his face.
Seeing this, Charlie couldn’t help but say, “Dad, you’re looking better and better lately. So, how’s your head? Does it still hurt?”
Vincent replied. “Thanks to Noelle, it’s much better. She gave me a new prescription recently, and after taking it, I don’t have headaches anymore even staying up late.”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he said that, Noelle immediately looked up with a serious expression and nagged, “Dad, you stayed up late again? Didn’t I tell you! Your headaches require proper rest. Even if it doesn’t hurt now, you still can’t stay up late!”
“Alright, I got it” Vincent laughed. “I was just busy the other night and stayed up a little.”
“No more next time!” said Noelle.
Vincent gave in and said, “Okay.”
The Anderson brothers were all laughing after hearing t
That.
El: found it amusing that even their father had to listen to Noelle now. He ridiculed, “Unbelievable! Has Noelle become the little boss of our family now: Even Dad has to listen to her!
Noelle replied, “Eli. Dad is a patient now, and patients have to listen to their doctors”
“Great! Now we’ve got two doctors in the family–one for internal medicine and one for surgery. There’s no need for hospitals anymore, remarked
Hearing this, Kimberly scolded him right away, “You brat, do you even think before you speak? Who talks about getting sick like that?”
Everyone burst into laughter, and even Lela laughed along happily.
She thought, “Laugh all you want. Soon enough, none of you will be laughing”
Damon was the only one who didn’t smile. His expression was serious as he glanced at Leia. He decided that he would put off training for now to keep an eye on Leja,
Meanwhile, Bennett’s gaze swept over his younger brother without a trace of emotion.
He sipped lass
soup slowly, a faint smirk tugging at his lips. Behind his half–lowered eyelids, a sharp glit flickered.
5.65 AM 다.
Chapter 206
After dinner, everyone chatted for a while before heading to their rooms as the night deepened.
Meanwhile, the maids on duty were preparing Vincent’s medicine
Having timed everything perfectly, Leia quietly slipped out of her room.
At the same time, Damon was sitting restlessly across from Bennett in the bedroom. He had wanted to watch over Leia, but just as he was about to leave, he ran into Bennett, who promptly pulled him inside.
“Bennen, the gifts can wait. I have something urgent to do, Damon said, worrying Leia was going to do something reckless.
However, Bennett glanced at him and pressed a firm hand on his shoulder, saying with a smile. “What’s so urgent at this hour? Besides, we’re picking birthday gifts for Leia and Noelle right now. As their brother, shouldn’t you be a little more patient?”
“Their birthdays aren’t for another month!” Damon said, exasperated.
Bennett replied earnestly. “True, but it doesn’t hurt to prepare early. Besides, I’ll be heading back to the hospital soon, so it makes sense to plan ahead”
“But-” Damon was getting anxious. He had a bad feeling that something bad was about to happen.
Bennett was still feigning innocence. “What’s wrong, Damon? You seem preoccupied. And what did you want to talk to Leia about earlier? Does she have something going on!”
“No!” Damon quickly denied it. It has nothing to do with Leia!”
“Oh! Really?” Bennett’s smile deepened.
Just then, the lights in the room suddenly went out. The entire mansion was instantly plunged into darkness.
