Chapter 1681

Barbara pursed her lips Indeed, she had always been the one invited to all the parties. Being the eldest princess of the royal family, she was always treated with high regard. She was the center of admiration, with envious looks constantly cast in her direction.

Although people usually fawned over her, she had often heard them gossiping about her behind her back.

No wonder he didn’t take the Harper family seriously. No wonder he didn’t mind being labeled a kept boy, In this world, there were probably no other kept boys like him

The man sure looked fine when he was working.

A few minutes passed, and Damon finally put down his pen, leaned back in his chair, and looked up at Chloe
