The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 955

People were whispering among themselves, all eyes eventually landing on Wendy.

Though they found it hard to believe that Ms. Wendy could such a thing, but…

Who knew?

Wendy had never been openly questioned like this, every stare like a knife piercing into her. She couldn’t handle it.

Chloe’s gaze swept over Wendy, her hand fondling the bracelet, “Ms. Wendy, you really can’t remember?”

Wendy’s eyes slightly shrank, her hands gripping her bag tightly.

Chloe raised her eyebrows, then shrugged.

“Well, can’t do anything about that…”

Just as her words fell, the entrance became noisy, everyone gulped as they turned to look.

The police actually came!

Ms. Chloe wasn’t just bluffing, but when did she…

Sierra couldn’t believe her eyes, she didn’t expect Chloe to actually call the police…

So, she… She wasn’t a thief?

“Excuse me, which one of you is Ms. Chloe?”

Chloe smirked, raised her hand towards the uniformed officers, “That’s me.”

Wendy’s face was even paler.

“Can you tell us what happened?” the police captain asked.

Chloe explained briefly, “Ms. Sierra lost her bracelet in the washroom. There were three people in there but only I

was suspected. They even searched me publicly, then found my bracelet, which Ms. Sierra Melisa mistook as hers. I

need to clear my name, officer.”

The officer frowned, pondered for a while, then said, “If there were three people in the washroom, then the suspect

shouldn’t just be you. If you were searched, then the other two should be as well.”

Chloe’s eyes twinkled, “Thank you, officer.”

“You’re welcome.”

The officer then directed the female officer they brought along.

“Hah…”

Nathan couldn’t help but laugh, “Chloe is really something, even thought to bring a female officer. Just to make the

search easier? She really doesn’t take any shit. If one gets searched, then all should, right? Hahaha…”

Damon was expressionless, his gaze fixed on Chloe’s face.

Seeing his brother’s face, Nathan shook his head, “See, Chloe is so capable, she can protect herself and she’s really

strong! Isn’t she great? She’s amazing! But… she doesn’t seem to need you at all. Don’t you feel like you don’t have

anything to keep her with you? This is dangerous… She doesn’t need you, and she could leave at any time. She’ll do

fine wherever she goes…”

Damon’s already darkened face turned even darker.

He had been a little upset because she didn’t let him get involved, now that Nathan spelled it out, it was like an

invisible thing being shaped into a sharp arrow, piercing his

heart.

Damon, who had been brooding, was awakened by Nathan’s words.

Chloe didn’t need him. He had nothing to keep her! He was in danger!

Nathan saw Damon’s sudden change in expression, grinned and moved away a bit.

“Well… It’s not entirely true… How could you have nothing? She loves you, that’s your biggest chip, right? Hahaha…

Damon’s expression didn’t look any better.

Meanwhile, Wendy took a step back as the female officer stepped forward, her expression not looking good.

“Don’t touch me!”

“…Ma’am, please cooperate with the police.”

Grace, who had been silently observing from the back, stood up.

“You suspect the Alonso family of theft?!”

The Alonso family? They were pulling rank now?

Wendy stared at the female officer, not letting her come near.

“We’re just doing a routine check, given the circumstances, Ms. Wendy is also a suspect.”

Grace said sternly, “You dare! To search Wendy in public, have you considered the dignity of the Alonso family?!”

The banquet hall fell silent.

The Alonso family, huh! That was right, the Alonso family was not to be messed with. In a city like here, full of

gangs, what was a few lives?

“Mrs. Alonso…”

Elizabeth suddenly spoke, her voice cold, her face stern.

“When Wendy suggested a body search, did she consider that Chloe is from the Harper family? My daughter–in–law

was searched by your daughter. But when it comes to you, now even law enforcement officers aren’t qualified?

Looks like the Alonso family’s prestige is really high, and the Harper family is really far behind!”

Grace’s face stiffened, “Mrs. Harper, what do you mean…”

“I just said what I saw. Now, the issue needs to be resolved, and I need to clear my daughter–in–law’s name

immediately! Since everyone is a suspect, if they searched my daughter–in–law, then it’s only fair to search Wendy

as well. What do you think?”

“Mrs. Harper…”

“Why are you so against the search now? Is it because you don’t trust your daughter’s integrity or is it because

Wendy has a guilty conscience?”

The banquet hall was silent; the female officer stood still, waiting for further instructions.

Elizabeth didn’t try to embarrass the cop. Instead, she smiled at Wendy and said,

“Wendy, whether your mom trusts you or not, I still believe in your character. But right now we’ve gotta do a simple

search because some folks suspect you might be involved in theft. As you said, to clear your name, you’ve gotta

suck it up a bit. Officer, start the search.”

After she said that, she didn’t wait for any objections, she just gave the instructions.

Nobody dared to disobey Mrs. Harper.
