The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1237

“Whatever happened between you two, I want to make it clear today. If you insist on being with Damon, I won’t

leave him a dime of my shares. If you really want to leave him with nothing, then go ahead!”

Chloe nodded slightly again. “I suggest you get some rest then, so you can attend Damon’s and my engagement

party the day after tomorrow.”

“I will attend the engagement party. Presley’s words surprised everyone, who didn’t expect him to cave in so easily

after the argument.

Chloe squinted her eyes at Presley. Obviously, she was skeptical about what he said. She didn’t think that after all

that he said tonight, Presley would still agree to the engagement party as planned.

She was waiting for Presley to say something, but he remained silent. He sighed deeply, stood up, and left. Robin

also rose immediately, assisting Presley. Chloe watched coldly as Robin helped Presley leave, her lips pressed into a

thin line

Things couldn’t always go as one hoped. If they were against Presley, others would take advantage of it. The

current situation might’ve been exactly what Robin wanted to see. Or maybe, everything was in his plan…

“Really, there are all kinds of shameless people. Chloe, you seem to have a lot of them around you.”

Rose stood up from the sofa, her face dark but trying to remain calm. If you really wanted to nitpick, Rose was

clearly provoked to make such a veiled insult to Presley in front of Royce. Now, calling him shameless was showing

him enough respect.

Chloe glanced at her, intentionally slowing down her voice. “Mind your own business Go to your room and rest.”

Rose pouted, feeling a bit guilty that she hadn’t been able to contribute much as a best friend. “I’m not that frail…”

Royce spoke up at this point, “Presley won’t give in so easily. There might be some twists and turns at the

engagement party.”

His gaze fell on Chloe, “Damon has probably arranged for someone to protect you, but no matter how hard he

tries, he can’t protect you as well as you can protect yourself. The key to preventing certain things is still you,

understand?”

Chloe nodded. “I understand.” Only by taking care of herself could she avoid causing real trouble for Damon.

“You must take good care of yourself.”

Chloe tipped up the corners of her mouth and glanced sideways at the man. “If I insist on being with Damon and he

ends up with nothing, you’re really okay with that?”

Royce glanced lightly at Chloe and asked, “Would you let him lose everything?”

Chloe smiled. “Of course not.”

“That’s right.” Having said that, Royce looked at Elizabeth in his arms, and had a servant bring a coat. He put it on

Elizabeth himself before leaving with her. Elizabeth choked back tears and said, “Honey, I didn’t expect you to trust

Chloe so much?”

Royce rubbed her shoulder and said, “She’s smart. But our child should be even smarter, right?”

“Yeah, that’s true.”

At nine o’clock in the evening, Chloe got up from the sofa in the living room and walked out of the villa. Standing at

the door, she looked at the entrance not far away. All was quiet.

The security guards in the yard patrolled in shifts every so often.

At nine–thirty, there was still no movement at the door.

At ten…

She held her cold phone tightly but didn’t make any calls. Because Damon had left in a hurry, saying he had an

emergency, she couldn’t bother him.

At ten–thirty, Chloe was cold to the bone. Looking at the quiet yard, her heart filled with unease and loneliness.

“Miss, you should wait inside.” Marina brought a cup of hot water and handed it to Chloe, her voice soft and slow.

“Marina… Damon should be back by now.”

“He always comes back. Come inside and wait!… Oh, look at you, you’re cold as ice. As a woman, you need to take

care of your health, or you’ll have trouble getting pregnant later.”

Chloe’s eyes flickered.

“Come on, let’s go inside! Go back to your room and have a nice bath to warm up. Maybe by the time you’re done,

your husband will be back.”

Chloe glanced at the door and nodded slightly.

Marina led her inside, saying, “You need to get used to this. Men always have to work and often come home late.”

Chloe didn’t say anything, and just went straight upstairs. She took a bath to warm up. But when she came out,

Damon was still not back.

She took out her phone and called Damon, but the phone was off. She frowned and called Nate, but his phone was

also off. She bit her lip, thought about what Marina had told her, and put her phone aside. Men needed to work and

sometimes came home late, it’s something she should get used to.

When she woke up the next day and saw the untouched bedding next to her, Chloe’s heart started to worry again.

Women could get used to men coming home late But not coming home at all, should they get used to that too?

She glanced at the time, got up and freshened up. Then she called Damon again.

Still off. What happened? Why didn’t he come home all night, and why didn’t he leave any messages?

She took a deep breath and suppressed her anxiety. When she came downstairs, Elizabeth saw her and

immediately frowned. “Why do you look so pale?”

Marina also nodded in agreement on the side. “Indeed, did you catch a cold waiting for Damon outside last night?”

Royce’s eyes darkened a bit. “Damon didn’t come back last night?”

Marina glanced at Chloe and eventually nodded silently.

Royce’s eyes became completely gloomy. He looked at Chloe and said, “He didn’t leave you any messages?”

Chloe shook her head slowly, “Maybe he had some emergency business to deal with.”

Royce’s expression flickered. A subtle change, but enough to show his annoyance.

Seeing this, Elizabeth quickly said, “Maybe there’s some real important stuff going on. Chloe, you don’t look so well,

I’ll get a doctor in here for you.”
