    Trantor: EndlessFantasy Trantion Editor: EndlessFantasy Trantion


    At this very moment, in the living room, Damon’s shocked gaze was fixed upon his sister Reni.


    He had never before seen Reni in such a state of distress.


    “What’s happening?” he inquired.


    “Someone’s bullying me, sob sob sob…” Reni wept as if she’d been grievously wronged. “She yanked my hair and shoved me down. My dress was torn by her.”


    Damon listened to his sister’s cries, noticing her torn skirt and imminent exposure of her underwear. In a hurry, he removed his suit jacket and draped it over her.


    With disheveled hair and tearful eyes, Reni’s misery tugged at his heartstrings.


    Turning his gaze to Huo Sicheng, he observed the man nonchntly flipping through documents, seemingly oblivious to Reni’s presence.


    Why.


    A sigh escaped Damon’s lips. Rather than taking herints to Huo Sicheng, Reni might find more understanding in him.


    As her older brother, he would undoubtedly stand up for her.


    Reni had sought out Huo Sicheng, yet he hadn’t spared her a single nce, treating her as if she were invisible.


    “Sicheng, is there another woman in your life?” Damon questioned.


    Huo Sicheng signed the contract and handed it to Harry. “I eagerly anticipate our coboration. ”


    Observing Huo Sicheng’s signature, Harry stood and shook hands with him.


    “It’s an honor to engage in business with President Huo. Anticipate our growth.”


    A slight nod from Huo Sicheng was his response.


    Harry wisely refrained from involving himself in matters unrted to the contract. With his assistant, he exited the living room.


    Amidst Reni’s sobs, Damon’s thoughts took an unexpected turn. He recalled a woman’s voice when he had sought out Huo Sicheng.


    Initially dismissing it as a hallucination, he now questioned its reality, considering the woman who had indeed been in Huo Sicheng’s embrace.


    Huo Sicheng wasn’t homosexual!


    After all these years of his seemingly unattached life, the presence of a woman by his side indicated a significant connection.


    Even as heforted Reni, he watched Huo Sicheng closely. “Sicheng…’ “Reni brought this upon herself!” Huo Sicheng’s voice was cold.


    Damon was taken aback. He hadn’t expected such unsympathetic me from Huo Sicheng.


    With Renee’s arrival in the living room, her gaze zeroed in on Huo Sicheng.


    No amount of weeping seemed to sway him, as he paid her no attention whatsoever.


    Her heart ached. She was the victim, yet Brother Sicheng seemed indifferent to her plight.


    His cold words struck her like a thousand knives. She momentarily forgot her pretense and stared nkly at him.


    “Brother Sicheng… How could you be so heartless to me? I’m the one suffering.”


    “Only you know if you’re truly a victim,” Huo Sicheng’s gaze remained fixed on her. “I know who hit you. She wouldn’t have done so without reason. Her nature is to retaliate against those who wrong her.”


    “In fact, I’m convinced she didn’t hit you at all.” His tone was resolute. “This is an act you’ve put on, seeking sympathy and venting your anger.” Huo Sicheng’s revtion left Reni exposed, her n dismantled.


    What connection did that woman have with Huo Sicheng?


    What justified his fierce protectiveness towards her?


    Damon’s expression turned stern. “Reni, is what he’s saying true?”


    Aware of her innocent image in her brother’s eyes, Reni couldn’t admit to it.


    Such an admission would not only embarrass her in front of Huo Sicheng but also tarnish her reputation in her brother’s eyes.


    While lightly pping him wouldn’t matter, being perceived as a bad woman by Brother Sicheng was a grave concern.


    “I didn’t…” She cried, “Brother, Brother Sicheng, I’m telling the truth. That woman did hit me. It’s true.”


    Damon’s trusty both with his sister and Huo Sicheng. He found himself torn.


    Huo Sicheng wheeled closer to Damon.


    “Are you here for cooperation or to console your sister?” He questioned. “You fail toprehend the gravity of the situation. With your distraction, your father was justified in removing you from the board.”


    Damon’s expression soured immediately.


    Huo Sicheng’s assessment was urate.


    The contract discussion with President Harry was in its final stages and critical.


    Ignoring Harry tofort Reni was inappropriate.


    Cooperation negotiations frowned upon interruptions and distractions, especially at crucial junctures, both of which Damon had caused.


    The business world mirrored a battlefield. Nobody spared each other.


    “Sicheng, I concede my mistake this time. Please pardon me. I’m dedicated to this endeavor.” He apologized, emphasizing his affection for Reni. “You know, Reni means the world to me. I can’t bear to see her in pain or tears.”


    Huo Sicheng retorted, “She doesn’t seem remotely distressed. She brought it upon herself!” With that, he left the living room.


    “Brother, Brother Sicheng, he…” Ren clung to Damon, sobbing anew.


    This time, her tears were genuine, her heart shattered by Huo Sicheng’s ruthless response.


    “I warned you,” Damon consoled. “He has no feelings for you. You insisted on pursuing him.” He sighed, “Look, you’re hurt again. Just give up. He’s not meant for you.”


    “He’s not for me, and he can’t belong to anyone else,” Reni retorted. Her anger masked her tears. “Brother, you don’t understand. That woman is terrible, a shrew with no ss! Huo Sicheng could never be interested in someone like her. I’m gentle and beautiful. He’s attracted to someone like me.” Damon’s interest piqued. “What does this woman look like?” He questioned, intrigued by Ren’s description. “You said she’s crude. How did she capture


    Huo Sicheng’s attention? Where is she? Take me to her.”


    Reni’s delight was palpable. She was confident Damon would avenge her.


    Quickly, she informed him, “I saw her in the kitchen before. Let’s go, Brother.


    We can’t let her get away.”


    Damon found himself pulled toward the kitchen by Renee.


    Meanwhile, Huo Sicheng had already entered the kitchen. There, he found Gu Qingcheng gracefully savoring her meal, seemingly unaffected by Reni’s presence.


    “What? Hungry as well?” Gu Qingcheng quipped at Huo Sicheng. “Or have youe to settle scores on behalf of your ex, ‘White Moonlight!?”


    Before Huo Sicheng could respond, a cheerful smile graced her lips.


    “Let me enlighten you, Huo Sicheng. Everything Ren revealed is true. I hit her and berated her! If you’re here to defend her, then you have two options.”


    “First, we fight!”


    She refused to believe that a disabled person like Huo Sicheng could challenge her!


    “Second, we can bypass the fight. We nullify everything that’s transpired


    Sicheng, which will it between us. You walk your path, and I’ll walk mine..


    Huo Sicheng, which will it he?”
