The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1104

She paused for a bit and then let out a small sigh, tinged with a hint of hurt. “I can’t possibly curse her out.”

“Why not?”

“I just can’t bring myself to say those nasty things.”

Chloe was always one to clap back at anyone who tried to do her dirty, always ready for a tit–for–tat, an eye for an

eye. But in situations like today, facing Makenna’s harsh words, even if she wanted to retaliate, she felt powerless.

She didn’t even have the courage to speak up.

Damon pondered for a bit. He couldn’t quite picture Chloe yelling curses either. But when he found out Chloe had

been insulted and wronged, a raging anger filled his heart.

Seeing Damon’s grim face, Chloe strolled over with a faint smile, “Are you mad?”

Damon shot her a glance, “How come I never noticed you were so easy to bully?”

Chloe blinked her eyes, “Well, my status is different now, after all, I agreed to help Claud manage his hotel and it

seems like he would have been better off without me.”

Damon pulled her closer, “It’s Claud’s own damn fault. How could he have asked you! I’m gonna have a word with

him about the crap you had to put up with today.

Chloe gently stroked his firm chest, “Don’t be mad. I didn’t retaliate with words, but I did fight back, and didn’t just

take it. Also, wasn’t I waiting for you to back me up?”

As she said this, she opened her eyes wide and blinked at Damon.

Damon raised an eyebrow, glanced at Nate who was busy, then looked back at Chloe, his tense jaw muscles slightly

relaxed. “Waiting for me to back you up? We are separated by ten floors, how did you know I would definitely find

out?”

Chloe glanced at Rhoda, who was trembling on the ground, “She wanted to embarrass me. I do have a reputation

in P City. She must have already posted the rumors about me being a mistress on the internet, right?”

Damon’s face eased a bit, “You deliberately let her post this on the internet so I could see?”

“Um… not exactly… you might not see the news on the internet.” Chloe pondered, her expression complex, yet her

eyes were filled with cleverness and mischief, lively and playful.

Damon rarely saw her like this; he really liked this side of her. His hand was firmly around her waist, his thumb

gently rubbed her waist.

He raised an eyebrow and looked down at her, a hint of interest in his eyes, “What if I didn’t see the news online?

What would you do?”

Chloe’s fingers couldn’t escape Damon’s grasp, so while she spoke, she used her fingers to scratch his warm and

broad palm.

“Then I’ll just wait, wait for those who want to escalate this matter to take further actions. You’ll find out sooner or

later, right?”

Chloe’s fingers moved in Damon’s palm like a kitten’s claws scratching. Damon’s gaze darkened slightly as he

loosened his grip on her hand, allowing her to move more freely.

“Are you determined to wait for me this time? What are you thinking?”

“I’m backing you up.” Chloe candidly responded, then looked up at him with a smile, “Makenna sees Mr. Austin as

part of her life, Rhoda treasures Rupin like a gem, and they’re both afraid I’ll steal their men… The more agitated

they get, the more abusive they are, the more they spread rumors about me, the more I’m looking forward… to

your arrival.”

Damon cracked a slight smile, “Why?”

Chloe raised an eyebrow and smiled charmingly, “Because I want to show them, my man… is the best man in the

world, far superior to the men they’re trying so hard to protect. You’re mine, and who’d choose any other man?”

Damon was pleased by her words. His gaze fell on Chloe’s beautiful features, and his tense face finally relaxed

completely.

“So, are you satisfied now?”

Chloe nodded proudly, “Very, my vanity has been greatly satisfied.”

Damon chuckled and gave Chloe’s waist a gentle squeeze.

Ticklish, Chloe slightly turned her body. Damon’s handsome face moved closer to her. His face was in front of her

eyes, his eyes playful, his voice low and husky. “Now that you’re satisfied, is it my turn to be satisfied?”

Chloe knew this man was joking with her and deliberately gave a non–relevant response.

“Then, the next time a woman is wrapped around you, I’ll make a stunning entrance and outshine everyone?”

Damon’s voice overflowed with a deep and pleasant laugh, “Sounds good to me.”

Chloe’s face flushed slightly, “Outshining everyone… that’s a lot of pressure, you know?”

“Where’s the pressure? Aren’t you always the best wherever you go?” As he spoke, he looked at Chloe’s rosy

cheeks, smiling, then leaned in closer and whispered in her ear, “You’re the prettiest.”

Chloe slightly shrank her shoulders, put her hand on Damon’s chest, and gently pushed him away. “Stop teasing

me.”

Damon chuckled, his face filled with affection and indulgence.

Rhoda picked herself up from the ground and saw Damon and Chloe being intirnate not far away. She didn’t feel

jealous, or resentful, just deeply disappointed. She never expected the man she met in the mall, who was from a

completely different world, to actually be with Chloe!

Thinking back to how she was worried about Rupin being seduced by Chloe and all the things she did for it, it all

seemed like a joke now.

The hotel manager came up quickly and approached Damon and Chloe. “Mr. Harper, the surveillance video has

been copied.”

Damon, with Chloe by his side, responded, and the hotel manager opened a suite for them. Nate led everyone into

it.

The manager connected the surveillance video to the smart TV in the suite’s living room. The vivid surveillance

footage was clearly displayed on the large LCD screen.

First, there was surveillance from the sixteenth floor. Rhoda knocked on the door of room 1613. In the monitor, you

could vaguely see a man in a black bathrobe. That figure was obviously Austin. Austin and Rhoda were talking, but

it was mainly Rhoda who was doing the talking.

Next up we got Chloe, catching the elevator from the 26th floor down to the ground level. This included her little

chat with a few receptionists at the front desk, before heading into the storeroom. She then teamed up with Dorthy

and they both headed up to the 16th floor, knocking on the door of room 1606. There was a brief convo with Rhoda

at the door.

Then she and Dorthy headed over to room 1613, with Austin still answering the door in his black bathrobe. It’s not

clear what they were talking about, but Austin tried to pull Chloe in twice, and both times she dodged him.

Out of nowhere, Makenna came charging in, pushing Chloe up against the wall.

Austin turned as white as a sheet, cold sweat dripping down his face. He wanted to watch the footage but was too

scared to, fearing he might see something he shouldn’t.

The hotel manager paused the video, and Austin let out a huge sigh of relief. Luckily, there were no images of him

with his wife’s niece. Otherwise, it would’ve been a real mess.

Meanwhile, Rhoda was standing by, clutching the armrest of the sofa so tight her knuckles turned white. She bit her

lip, her face drained of color.
