Chapter 55: 55- Luna Harrison

Amelia now understood that perhaps losing his title as the heir of the Raphael group made Damien desperate in his attempts to secure someone for his future, given that today he whimsically announced his marriage to Emilia Blake—a family known for their broken state, just before the news of his abandonment could be published.

Given the opinions of high society, it was most probable that due to his already depleted image, no one would have accepted to marry him. Additionally, because of his being abandoned by the Raphael family, it was even more unlikely, as influential groups would have already gotten this news.

This left only those from fallen families who were still unaware of the news and could easily engage their daughter in hopes of rising in their ranking. It appeared that Damien tried both ways; first, he decided to announce his marriage to Emilia Blake, and second, he thought that Amelia would feel jealous and accept him after his marriage announcement.

In the end, everyone knew about Damien pursuing her for more than five years, making it impossible for him to have forgotten about her so easily.

Given this information, it was most likely that he would be desperate in the present situation, considering how Amelia's value increased in his eyes since she was a successful businesswoman. Marrying her could make his life easier.

'How pathetic of you, Damien,' Amelia thought, looking towards the ceiling while on the call. She now understood that Damien was trying to make her feel jealous and come after him so that he would be able to have a wife smart enough to manage businesses while also securing Emilia Blake in case Amelia didn't marry him.

:: Amelia, contact your Uncle and save Edward; this is to elevate our family's position ::

"I am not going anywhere; just do it yourself," Amelia cut the call abruptly, frustrated with how she had followed his decision to attend Damien's wedding today. She silenced her phone and threw it on the bed before closing her eyes in an attempt to sleep. 'You should have just told me, idiot.'

She believed that Damien should have shared the truth about being abandoned by his family. Perhaps then she could have offered him support. It had been a week since he last said a word to her.

On his birthday, she hadn't felt able to talk to him because she was worn out due to working on a project, and after watching him quarrel with her stepmother, she might have acted out and slapped him. She thought he was just angry with her for the past few days, but then he suddenly announced his marriage.

She had planned to call him either today or tomorrow after completing her work projects. However, his decision to marry someone from that family was so childish that it made her want to reprimand him. But after meeting him today and experiencing his outburst, she felt unfit to comfort him or even talk to him for at least a few weeks.

'Even if you are depressed, at least try to understand others' state too,' Amelia rested in sleep while thinking that even though he was depressed or worn out due to being abandoned by the Raphael family, he shouldn't have reacted that way and yelled at her today.

This made her decide not to take the initiative to have a conversation with him and to wait until he himself called her to ask for some money.

After all, knowing Damien's personality, it would be impossible for him not to call her for more than ten days. Now that he was abandoned, only she was his support.

'Idio...'

Far away from the Crimwell mansion, while the night was at its peak inside the Camphrian city's top hospital, existing near the Ramphian group of hotels, several cars were lined up. S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Each of them belonged to the Harrison Group, which boasted a net worth of 7.6 billion NR, making them the fourth largest group in the whole country.

The convoy, filled with Land Rovers and Rolls Royce Phantoms, was parked just outside the hospital gate as the doors of a freshly arrived Lamborghini swung open.

A woman with white hair, accentuated by the moonlight, stepped out of the car as dozens of bodyguards greeted her with boredom while she made her way inside. A white coat draped over her shoulders, and her eyes, with a slight grey hue accentuating her white eyebrows, guided her through the hospital.

"Where is grandfather?" Luna calmly inquired upon entering the hospital. Her grandfather, Raven Harrison, had sustained some injuries and knife wounds, and upon hearing the news, Luna had instantly rushed there to check on his condition.

"This way, young miss," the assistant guided her as they moved to the left, accompanied by two bodyguards for safety purposes.

"How did it happen?" Luna asked in a composed tone without having any expression on her face, taken aback that her grandfather had been attacked while she was out of town for business meetings.

"Young miss, we were attending the marriage of Damien and Raphael, and then..." the assistant began explaining the situation that unfolded in the marriage hall where some gunmen rushed in and started open fire. The assistant had managed to save Raven Harrison, but when he left to monitor the situation outside, he returned to find him injured.

'Damien...' Luna recalled the name of the man who had turned down her grandfather's marriage proposal, which was intended to offer him support. At the very least, her grandfather had hoped to postpone Damien's separation from his family, especially because Damien's real mother was the daughter of a close friend of Raven Harrison.

Luna still remembered the time when her grandfather had asked her to marry Damien Raphael, whose reputation had already deteriorated in high society. Nevertheless, her grandfather suggested this marriage in the hope of mutual benefits.

On one side, Luna would have supported Damien in business, thereby making him an eligible heir for the Raphael group, which would have prevented his abandonment. On the other side, she would have leveraged him to gain control of the entire Raphael group.

It was a mutual proposal between heads of families, so of course, Damien was unaware of this. If Damien had accepted the marriage proposal on his birthday last week, everything would have been fine, and he would not have been abandoned.

Upon exiting the lift, she ordered, "Send me the details about the names of those who attended the marriage event."
