Damon Hawke only felt the places on his face where he was sprayed itch and hurt.
He watched as the woman darted away like a little rabbit, his temple veins throbbing.
What on earth did this woman spray on him!
Outside in the corridor, Elara Don hurriedly put the bottle away and ran forward quickly.
Almost got taken advantage of!
That hateful man, who would've thought he was such a hypocrite!
Someone dashed out from the corner, and they collided without any warning.
"Ouch."
Elara was startled, barely steadied herself, and then realized she had bumped into Victoria Don.
Suddenly, she felt inexplicably guilty.
She didn't even know why she felt guilty.
She swallowed, glanced back, and quickly ran towards the elevator.
Behind her, she could faintly hear the sound of a man's footsteps; it must be Damon Hawke coming to settle the score with her!
Elara quickly reached the elevator, pressed the button urgently, and stepped inside.
Victoria, having realized what had happened, stared at the slowly closing elevator and then glanced at the man not far away, her face twisting.
"Elara Don, you're seducing my fiancé!"
She had bribed the waiter beforehand to put something in Damon Hawke's drink.
Then, when the time was right, she had the waiter find an excuse to get Damon upstairs.
Everything was under her arrangement.
She had also put fragrances in the room, believing today she could definitely have Damon Hawke.
But Damon had exited the room immediately upon realizing his body's condition was unusual.
She had dressed so scantily and clung to him, yet he remained indifferent.
Why was this?
Was he incapable?
But seeing the look on Elara's face just now, the smeared makeup and disheveled clothes, it was clear the two had some interaction.
So, Damon Hawke would rather touch Elara Don than her?
The sound of footsteps came from behind, and Victoria turned to see Damon coming with a dark expression.
Instantly, she swallowed and approached him with a guilty look, "Damon."
"Get lost!"
Damon's face was filled with malice, wishing he could strangle this woman.
To actually drug him at the party!
Such despicable tactics!
Was the woman from four years ago really her?
But why did he just feel repulsed by her closeness?
"Damon, why is your face breaking out? Let me take you to the hospital first!"
Victoria saw Damon's face red and swollen, and forced herself to speak.
"Victoria Don, if you don't want to die, don't make me say it a second time!"
The man's whole body was filled with fury, like an avenging demon.
Victoria shrank back, unconsciously stepping back.
At that moment, Rhun Quinn rushed over upon receiving a call, and was momentarily shocked upon seeing Damon's current appearance.
"Mr. Hawke, your face..."
"Rhun, take me to the hospital!"
His face itched and hurt.
What the hell did that woman spray on him!
...
Elara Don was still fuming when she got home.
Who would've thought the dignified president of Hawke Corporation, looking all respectable, was secretly a shameless scoundrel!
Did he listen to Victoria's words and think she was of bad character, so he wanted to take advantage when he could!
Serves him right to turn into a pighead!
"Mommy, you're back."
Dominic Hawke was quietly sitting in the living room reading a storybook. Hearing the door open, his eyes lit up and he ran towards Elara.
"Tang Bao, you were waiting for mommy? So good."
Elara's mood brightened instantly upon seeing her son.
"Mommy, why are your clothes torn?"
Dominic's cheeks reddened as Elara kissed him, and he keenly noticed the oddity, his smile momentarily pausing.
"Ah! It's nothing, it's nothing! Just my boss is a bit of a pervert, but I took care of him with my secret weapon."
Elara didn't hide, taking out the spray from her bag and giving it a little shake.
Aunt Charlotte's boss?
Does she mean Dad?
Dad's a bit of a pervert?
This...
Dominic's big eyes flickered with a hint of something strange, "Mommy, do you mean Damon Hawke? He's a business prodigy, though he is a bit cold to people, he shouldn't be a pervert."
Did Aunt Charlotte misunderstand Dad?
He didn't want any misunderstandings between the two.
"How not? He has a fiancée, yet he was touching me in private, so tell me, isn't he a pervert?"
Elara shivered with disgust at the thought of the recent events.
Dad touching Aunt Charlotte?
Does Dad like Aunt Charlotte?
Thinking of this possibility, Dominic's eyes sparkled.
"Mommy, Dad... doesn't Damon Hawke like you! He's rich and handsome, many aunties want to marry him! Would you consider it?"
Pfft!
Elara almost spewed her drink.
"No, Tang Bao, what's with you today? Damon Hawke likes me? How could that be? He has a fiancée!"
He's nothing but a hypocritical scumbag!
Truly matches Victoria Don perfectly!
"But he doesn't like his fiancée."
Dominic was a bit anxious, eager to explain.
"How do you know he doesn't like his fiancée? Tang Bao, what's with you today?"
The little guy was acting strange?
She heard a matchmaking vibe.
Is he trying to set her up with Damon Hawke?
Why?
Does he want a dad?
Facing Elara's skeptical gaze, Dominic tightened his little lips, not speaking again.
He couldn't let Aunt Charlotte find out he was a fake Tang Bao.
Otherwise, he'd have to return to that cold home and couldn't enjoy her warmth anymore!
The little guy wasn't happy!
Elara sighed inwardly and pulled him into her arms.
"Sorry, Tang Bao, Mommy knows you envy others having a dad, but Damon Hawke is out of the question. Alright, let Mommy take you to rest."
Kids are ultimately kids.
Even though he repeatedly denied he cared about having a dad, in reality, how could he not care?
Dominic stayed silent, lying on Elara's shoulder, taking in her pleasant scent, his big eyes flickering.
Why is Dad out of the question?
He already knew Aunt Charlotte didn't have a husband, if she could marry Dad, how great that would be!
...
The Don Family.
Victoria Don wildly threw anything she could onto the floor in the bedroom.
"Bitch, Elara Don that bitch!"
"Oh dear, Vivi, calm down!"
Isabella Wolf, who entered the room, quickly grabbed her and tried to persuade her.
"Mom, I can't calm down! You don't know, Elara went to the party tonight too! She changed her name, and is seducing Damon!"
"What!"
Isabella's face darkened, pulling the agitated Victoria to sit on the couch.
"Quick, tell Mom what exactly happened!"
"Boo hoo, that bitch Elara, she's now become a perfumer, flaunting herself in front of Damon, I just want to strangle her!"
Victoria added fuel to the story, recounting the events at the party.
Isabella pondered, her well-maintained face full of calculation.
"Vivi, don't worry, if Elara Don really wants a man that badly, we'll just help her out!"
