The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1524

“I bet Ms. Wendy just wanted to make Ms. Summers squirm at the party, right?”

“Doesn’t she realize who Ms. Summers is? If she dares to challenge her, it’ll be a total joke.”

“But you know what, Wendy’s move is seriously sickening, just riding on the coattails of Ms. Summers‘ popularity. In

the business world, who isn’t curious about Ms. Summers or doesn’t want to build a relationship with her? Now,

even those companies that weren’t planning on attending will probably show up for Ms. Summers, won’t they?”

“What’s worse is, I’m super uncomfortable. If Ms. Summers doesn’t go, people will think she’s running scared from

Ms. Wendy, saying Ms. Summers is hiding away without a peep, and without any backbone. But if she does show up,

it just plays into their hands. It’s such a headache.”

“Wendy is so sly, pulling a stunt like this. So does that mean Ms. Summers has to go?“d2

Everyone who saw the news was seriously peeved at Wendy’s actions. But Wendy was immune to all the chatter.

She chose to ignore it.

She’d been battling it out with Chloe for so long, and she’d heard much worse. There was nothing she can’t handle.

Chloe just scoffed at Wendy’s actions. The sheer stubbornness was almost laughable.

Yet, the online buzz about this was only the second hottest topic. What really caught people’s attention was Carolina

suing Chloe over money. And then there was Carolina playing the wounded party in front of the media, accusing

Chloe of being cold–hearted, disrespectful to elders, ungrateful, and a whole host of serious allegations.

She was so worked up, you’d think killing Chloe on the spot wouldn’t even quench her thirst for revenge.

The courthouse was the backdrop for Carolina’s interview.

Seeing Carolina’s greedy and manipulative demeanor, Chloe suddenly felt that sometimes, you just need to cut off

all escape routes for some people, and do it thoroughly, leaving no room for possibilities. Sometimes, even the

slightest hint of softness could land you in irreversible trouble.

She never thought she’d go soft on Carolina, only doing so to honor her grandfather’s wish of “not giving up

entirely“.

She let out a deep sigh, feeling a wave of irritation.

Damon said, “You don’t need to worry about this. She won’t even have the chance to step foot in court.”

Chloe turned to look at him. After a few seconds, he finally cracked a smile, “Have you got it all figured out again?”

Damon chuckled, “This ‘again‘ makes me feel like I’ve done a lot for you.”

“Isn’t that the case?” Chloe looked at him, her gaze intense.

Damon kept his eyes on the road ahead, his tone somewhat cold, as he drove the car into the apartment complex.

Chloe could sense his mood wasn’t great. After skillfully parking the car, Chloe bent down to undo her seatbelt, but

halfway through, he grabbed her arm. She turned her head to see Damon unbuckle her seatbelt, then lift his head

to look at her. “Will you suddenly leave me one day?”

Chloe’s eyes trembled instantly. She never expected Damon to suddenly ask such a serious question. And he was so

direct

about it.

“Why would I… I’ve never thought about it. Why would you suddenly think that?” She shook her head, finding the

question absurd.

Damon’s gazes held a hint of mockery, “Because I feel you can do perfectly well without anyone, including me.”

Chloe froze, staring at him. She knew exactly why he said that. After a while, she shook her head, denying it. “No,

you’re wrong.”

“You have your own determination and judgment. You have the ability to handle crises, foresee and plan

everything. You’re intelligent and capable of dealing with everything independently. You don’t need to rely on

anyone. I know you’ve been. trying to reduce your dependence on me lately, but do you really think there is no one

indispensable in your life?”

Chloe kept shaking her head, “No, that’s not it.”

“Even with the kind of dependence you have on me, you believe it’s something you should do. You even think about

me, so that someone like me who’s by your side won’t appear so useless.”

Suddenly, Chloe felt her heart stop. Her mind was filled with thick fog, impossible to disperse. “Damon!” Chloe

suddenly erupted, her voice low and hoarse as she shouted, her eyes reddened, her long eyelashes quivering

intensely, and her face turned pale.

Damon’s words halted, he stared at her pale face, and his expression slightly changed.

“I’ve already said that you’re wrong, and I’ve never thought that way. And I won’t allow you to belittle yourself. Yes,

I’m not afraid of anyone or anything. If someone provokes me, I’m confident I can handle it.

“I admit that I used to be used to handling things on my own, and I thought I knew best how things should go. But I

don’t want it to always be this way. As long as I have a reliable rock, I won’t make myself so tired. So now I choose

to let go, I want to selfishly rely on you entirely.

“If I have trouble, you’ll help me solve it; if there’s a dispute, you’ll help me handle it; if the company needs

managing, you’ll help me. I don’t want to do anything else apart from the essentials. Because I know that you can

handle these things very well.

“How can you say you’re not necessary in my life? You’re the husband I’ve entrusted my life to. You are the father

of my children, our protector, how can you say you’re not necessary?”

Chloe’s voice was filled with sadness and anger. Her anger left Damon too scared to speak.

Yes, he was genuinely scared. He didn’t dare to mess with Chloe when she was pissed off.

Her words left him speechless. Every time he said something, she fired back tenfold.

The car suddenly fell silent, with only the sound of Chloe’s angry breathing. He sneaked a glance at her, her eyes

were flaming red, like a dragon’s. It scared him, so he quickly looked away.

He didn’t dare to look her in the eyes. He started to feel uneasy, and it was a feeling he wasn’t familiar with.
