The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1410

Cole stared at Wendy intensely. “You still like Damon after the way he’s been treating you?”

Wendy shook her head, her eyes still carried a hint of stubbornness, but it was her rage that was most apparent.

“No, I’m gonna make Damon regret it! I’m gonna show him that choosing Chloe was a massive mistake!”

Cole squinted, then burst into laughter. “That’s the spirit! You’re the Alonso family’s golden girl, a woman that

Damon can only dream of! Make him bow to you!” Wendy smirked, clenched her teeth, then plopped back onto the

lounge chair.

Phoebe stood nearby, observing the drama unfold with an icy stare. Was Wendy still the Alonso family’s golden girl?

The Alonso family never considered Phoebe’s feelings.

The flight to Y Country would take six hours. The private jet was decked out with all the luxurious trimmings.

Just as Chloe logged onto the WIFI and was about to check the news, a bunch of news alerts popped up on her

phone. She glanced at her notifications, most of which were about a severe car crash in the center of P City. As she

was about to tap on one, her phone was snatched away.

“You are an expectant mother, and you should avoid these electronic devices. They’ve got radiation, get it?”

Jane looked at the half–open news article on Chloe’s phone, cleared all the notifications, and pocketed the phone.

Chloe tried to retrieve her phone, but Jane caught her wrist. “Mrs. Harper, think about the twins in your belly. I must

remind you that prolonged exposure to radiation can harm the fetus…”

Chloe’s face paled instantly. She pulled her hand back, clutching it tightly as if afraid she would reach for her phone

again. Jane’s final words had clearly scared her. She would never risk anything that could potentially harm her

babies.

Seeing Chloe’s reaction, Jane couldn’t help but shake her head, amused. The rumors were one thing, but seeing

Chloe in person was a whole different story. Who would’ve thought that the formidable Ms. Summers would be so

easily threatened while pregnant?

“Why don’t you tell me the news? I’m bored out of my mind.”.

Jane raised an eyebrow and took a seat across from her. “There’s nothing much. There was a severe car accident

in the center of P City and it’s being investigated.

“The ‘fraudulent contract‘ case involving Infinity Media is still under investigation, the media is waiting for the

results.

“Famous actor Winston and Crysti are about to start filming a major domestic production, release date is yet to be

determined.

“A renowned male star was accused of drug use, he denied it three times, but just recently admitted it…

“A famous actor was exposed for having an affair, and he held a press conference to apologize to his wife and the

public…

These stories were indeed the hottest news, and each story was enough to spark a lot of attention and discussion.

“Life would be so dull without celebrities.” Jane mused, looking at the trending news on her phone.

Chloe smiled. “That’s one of the roles of celebrities – to entertain the public.”

Jane raised an eyebrow. “From your tone, it seems like you’re quite proud to be one of them. I mean about the drug

use and affairs.”

“Is it only celebrities who use drugs and cheat?” Chloe retorted. “That’s the life they chose. They have to face the

consequences, and it can serve as a warning to the public. I think it’s meaningful.”

Even though Chloe was in showbiz, she couldn’t infringe on her artists‘ private lives. What they did off the clock was

their own ‘business, whether it involved drugs or affairs.

“Really?” Jane stared at her, raising an eyebrow. “You’re quite ruthless.”

Chloe shrugged. “Aren’t we all? They don’t care about me, and I don’t feel any warmth from them either. It’s

always a two–way street.”

Jane was left speechless. Indeed. Why should she be nice to others when they weren’t nice to her?

“You’re quite clear–headed. How do you feel about Presley? Do you hate him?”

Chloe gave a small smile. “I wouldn’t say I hate him. He can be stubborn and annoying, but he can’t control me, so I

feel nothing towards him.”

“That’s based on the premise that he’s Mr. Harper’s grandfather. If it were someone else…”

“Who else could be Damon’s grandfather?” Chloe laughed. “There are no ifs. Presley just can’t control me.”

“I sometimes wonder where your confidence comes from.”

If–Presley really wanted to, he had many ways to prevent Chloe and Damon from being together.

“Damon gives me confidence.” Chloe thought, if she really left as Presley wished, Damon wouldn’t let it go. He

wouldn’t let her go, nor would he let anyone who forced her to leave off the hook. Even if it were his grandfather, it

would be the same. There were many ways to punish someone, and there was always a subtle way to hurt them

deeply.

Jane had been in the medical field for over twenty years and had always scoffed at these emotional matters. But

now, she found herself drawn to the spark in Chloe’s eyes. She took a deep breath, adjusted to a comfortable

position, propped her chin up, and stared at Chloe for a while before saying, “Although you sometimes seem cold to

others, I don’t think you’re a cold–hearted person.”

“Of course,” Chloe replied without hesitation. “If anyone dares to hurt the people I care about, I will retaliate twice

as hard.”

Chloe smiled, but Jane felt a deep sense of danger from her smile. Jane suddenly got the chills, thinking to herself,

“Chloe and Mr. Harper really do make a smashing pair.”

At the Royal Palace of Y Country.

A state banquet was on the horizon, and Queen Julia had invited all her kids over tonight for dinner, to give them a

heads up about what to watch out for during the banquet, and also to seize the chance for a family get–together, a

good old chinwag

Her kids all had their own lives now, and even her grandkids were there, milling around. The family was flourishing,

and she was one lucky woman. She knew it, and her old faithful servant often told her so!

However, for all these years, there’d been a knot in Queen Julia’s heart that she just couldn’t untic.
