The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1602

Chloe could totally empathize with Elizabeth. Why wouldn’t she? How could she put Damon in such a difficult

position?

“I understand.” Chloe agreed, smiling knowingly. “He can’t outsmart us. We’ve spent the most time with his son and

his grandson.”

Elizabeth couldn’t help but laugh. “Exactly! He can’t deny it even if he wanted to”

Chloe smiled indulgently, her eyes twinkling with a certain lazy charm that made Elizabeth shake her head in

amusement. “If it wasn’t for the fact that I have Royce, and you have my son, I would definitely seduce you! With

that kind of appeal, no wonder you’ve got my stubborn son head over heels.”

This didn’t seem like something a mother–in–law should say c2

Chloe found Elizabeth’s peculiar train of thought amusing She looked down and covered the exposed skin at her

neckline.

“No need to cover up, I’m just looking. I can’t really touch you! My son’s the lucky one! Where is he anyway? Not by

your side?”

Chloe tilted her phone to show the empty bed next to her, devoid of Damon’s presence

“Where did that boy run off to? He should be having a big breakfast. How could he leave you alone?”

Chice was tempted to end the call. Her mother–in–law was far too frank! She spoke so bluntly without any sign of

embarrassment.

“Are you done chatting? Time for breakfast.”

Suddenly, the soft and warm voice of Royce came from the video. Chloe smiled, this was a tone he only used in

front of her mother–in–law Just as she was about to end the call, she saw the video screen flicker. Elizabeth

switched the camera, and Royce appeared on the screen.

At first, Chloe thought she was seeing things. But luckily, she had a strong ability to accept new situations.

The video was a bit shaky, but she could clearly see Royce in simple homewear, wearing a pink apron with four little

pink pigs on it. Although Chloe didn’t watch cartoons, Anya always mentioned these little animals.

They were probably Peppa Pig and her family. Papa Pig. Mama Pig, Peppa Pig, and George Pig.

Somehow, she suddenly thought of her in–laws, Damon, and Nathan She couldn’t help but laugh softly.

Elizabeth held the phone seriously, pretending to Royce that she was still chatting with Chloe

Royce thought she was still talking to Chloe, he wiped his wet hands on his apron, then bent down to pick up the

clothes that had fallen on the floor In the end, he gathered all the dirty clothes in his arms. He looked like a perfect

house–husband, cooking and doing laundry with ease His proficiency was not something achieved overnight.

Chloe covered her mouth and snickered softly, watching as Royce left the bedroom, the video following him.

It wasn’t until he reached the door that Royce stopped, turned around, and said, ‘Eat your breakfast soon.

Elizabeth, what are you doing?”

Elizabeth didn’t expect Royce to suddenly turn around. She was caught red–handed. It was too late to hide.

The video showed Royce striding over, his handsome face filled with irritation. Elizabeth quickly switched the

camera and ran to the side with her phone “What are you doing? I’m chatting with my daughter–in–law!”

“Did you just sneak a picture of me?”

“No” Elizabeth denied firmly. “Chloe has been looking at me the whole time! Why would I take a picture of you? If

you don’t believe me, ask her!”

Elizabeth held out the phone, showing Royce’s face.

Chice quickly straightened her posture, letting her hair fall in front of her, blocking the exposed skin of her chest.

Then she softly called out, “Hi”

Royce pursed his lips and responded with a low “Hmm” He didn’t ask about the argument with Elizabeth, but

instead asked, “Why did you intentionally cause such a commotion yesterday?”

Chice smirked As expected, her father–in–law was incredibly astute. She had tried to shift everyone’s attention to

Addie, using her as a decoy and a shield, but he had still seen through her

“The Global Economic Summit is about to begin, and it’s the time of year when companies tally their achievements.

This directly affects the Forbes ranking and the Fortune 500

“The Starlight international in my hand, including the industries my mother left me, have all gotten on track, along

with the Alonso Corporation that recently came into my possession Although these can’t match the scale of the

Harper Group, they pose a threat to the Harper family.

“Regardless of the ranking as long as im within the Fortune 500 or Forbes, I will be a rising star in the business world

and will overshadow the Harper Group and him Robin has just taken over the Harper family and he definitely wont

allow this to happen

“Whether it’s for the reputation of this Global Economic Summit, or for the future threat to the Harper family and

the stability of his current position, he must want to suppress us and eliminate all threats

Royce listened quietly, showing no surprise or shock at Chloe’s words Instead, he asked calmly “So? You want to

provoke him to act against you?”

Chloe didn’t deny it. “He will definitely target us! Damon will threaten his position as chairman, and the industries in

my hands will directly affect the Harper family’s reputation internationally. He’s bound to come after us sooner or

later, so we might as we steer him onto the course we

want from the get–go. If it’s going to be a standoff, I won’t back down just because we’re dealing with the

untouchable Harper family.”

Royce paused for a moment, a smirk playing on his lips as he watched her through the phone screen. “So, you’re

saying you’ve factored us into your scheming?”

Chloe gave an apologetic smile, “About that, I’m sorry…”

“Never mind, you’re right. Any businessman worth his salt wouldn’t allow anything threatening to go unchecked. If

it’s inevitable for him to make a move against us, your foresight in preparing for it is commendable! But are you

sure he’ll just willingly fall into the trap you’ve laid out for him?”

Chloe responded with a smirk, “As long as there’s desire and greed, they’re bound to fall into it. And Robin, he

clearly wants a lot…”
