The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1752

Alyssa split another one and placed it in front of her, “Have one more, with cream cheese”

Elizabeth peeled a hard–boiled egg and handed it to her, “Don’t forget your protein”

The maid who came to report stood there her expression somewhat peculiar. She had long known that Presley had

a bad temper, even the mere mention of him by the household staff made them pale And all the recent events had

had some pretty adverse effects on the Harper family and Damon Now that Presley had come storming over in

person, how can they remain so calm?

“Madam, are you not intending to go out and greet him?“c2

Alyssa frowned. What’s he to me that I should go out and greet him? This isn’t his Harper Mansion and he’s

certainly not welcome here. He can go back to wherever he came from Her icy voice, laced with anger, echoed

with a force that was impossible to ignore.

Just as the old man, who had been escorted into the living room by the maid, heard this, his already sour

expression darkened further

The maid flinched, trembling as she said. “But that’s Mr. Presley”

“Even if it were the king himself, he wouldn’t be more important than my granddaughter–in–law’s breakfast if he

can wait, let him wait. if he can’t, tell him to I don’t have to put up with his unpleasantness ‘

The maid nearly collapsed in fright at Alyssa’s words in her mind. Alyssa had always been gentle and elegant,

always amiable to Elizabeth and Chloe She could never have imagined that Alyssa would say something so fierce

Chloe chewing on her bagel was also taken aback by Alyssa’s outburst. After all these years, how had she and

Presley managed to live together in harmony? She had always thought her grandma was a kind and loving person

Well, the women of the Harper family weren’t to be trifled with

“Careful Have some juice Elizabeth’s soft voice rang out, reminding Chloe

Chloe obeyed, sipping her juice obediently

The more Elizabeth saw of Chloe, the more she liked her When she had first met Chloe, Chloe had seemed

somewhat lost, but it was clear she was usually a quiet distant sort of person in fact outside of the house, Chloe was

still the formidable businesswoman. But who could have guessed that such a cold, stern woman could be so soft

and sweet at home?

“My daughter–in–law is so polite and beautiful What good deeds did that brat do in his past life to deserve you?”

Alyssa scoffed “It was all thanks to me Without me, they might never have crossed path And you wouldn’t have

such an outstanding daughter–in–law, and you wouldn’t be about to become a grandma”

Elizabeth chuckled “Right, night. Thank you for playing matchmaker for Damon and Chloe. When your great–

grandsons are born, we’ll make sure the first word they leam is great–grandma

Presley, looking sullen in the living room, twitched at Elizabeth’s words. He glanced towards the kitchen, then slowly

and quietly moved closer leaning on his cane The nearby maid just glanced at him, puzzled

Elizabeth’s words, however, made Alyssa chuckle. She raised a hand like a schoolgirl and declared. “I want to pick

the names for my great–grandchildren

Chloe hesitated a moment, thinking about the babies name She wondered what Damon’s thoughts might be

“How about we let you pick the nickname? Elizabeth suggested, clearly reluctant. She was afraid Alyssa might

choose something like Bobby Johnny – what a nightmare that would be

“No way! As the elder its my night to choose the names. Don’t worry, I’ll think of a few good ones, and you can

choose from those

Elizabeth pouted “How about you let me have one, you get one, and I get one”

While the two were chatting, Chloe had finished her second bagel and was sipping her juice. She spoke up quietly.

“What about Damon and me?

Alyssa and Elizabeth turned to her almost in unison. That’s simple. Have a few more kids, and whichever name you

like best, keep it in mind for them. “

Chloe was speechless So they were suggesting having kids just to use the names they liked? Wasn’t that a strange

idea?

“Anyway, I’m daiming a name for my great–grandchildren in advance

Tm claiming one too

Hearing his great–grandchildren » name being claimed. Presley, who had been hiding by the door, furrowed his

brows and coughed known They all turned to look at him, their smiles cooling

“You Presley had barely begun to speak when they all tumed their backs to him, ignoring him completely. His

mustache quivered with indignation. “Willi attitude is this?”

Alyssa and Elizabeth didn’t respond

Chloe, however was sitting opposite the dining room door locking stra hi at the old man with a hint of coldness and

decision in her eyes

Presley squinted at her “What are you looking at? Feeding pretty pleased with yoursel

Chloe’s lips curved into a cold smile You re mistaken cas just thinking about our babies names it ha

to do with you

Presley’s face darkened further The names of the Harper Farruly s offspring are not for y

There was a loud crash as a china bowl shattered at Presley a feet Chloe was startled by the sudden sound. Before

she could mact, she heard Alyssa’s ry vice What the hell are you talking about!”

Elizabethheld Chloe’s hand, comforting her

“You Presley did not expect her to suddenly explode, and in front of so i

felt a bit embarrassed for a moment. “Are you out of your mind??

“You’re the one who’s lost their minds Alyssa continued to reprimand angrily. “What do you mean it’s ( What

Obloe’s babies have anything to do with you? What are you doing here trying to tark your teritor

1/2

Mansion and flex your machismo! They may cater to you, but we certainly don’t have to. Who here has anything to

do with you?! You’re just looking for trouble and causing drama?”

Chloe’s mouth dropped open in disbelief, unable to close for a long moment. Was this the grandmother she

remembered?

Presley s face turned a shade of livid flush at her words, his body trembling in rage. “You have really gone too far

The babies in her belly are Damon’s, and that makes them Harpers

“Don’t flatter yourself!” Alyssa cut him off, “What does Damon have to do with you? Why would his babies have

anything to do with the Harper family? Since you’re so great, how about you have a great–grandchild for the

Harper family yourself! We don’t have any Harper family descendants here”

Presley was unable to counter Alyssa’s rapid–fire rebukes, she always had the upper hand, not even letting him get

a word in. He could only point at her, his finger trembling in anger

“You you’re simply

“Out”

Alyssa’s face was cold as she again dismissed him without any mercy

Chloe’s face burned in embarrassment, this spectacle was unlike anything she had ever witnessed before. She even

felt a bit apprehensive about looking at Presley’s face Surely any man would feel humiliated being treated like this

by a woman?

Glancing at Elizabeth sitting next to her, she saw a look of indifference, as if she was used to such scenes. Could it

be that these confrontations between the two elders were a common occurrence in the past? Regardless Alyssa

had certainly opened her eyes today

As for the old man’s sudden visit today. Chloe had a guess at his intentions. No one visited without a reason. Either

he was here because the reputation of the Harper family and Damon had suffered a significant blow and he wanted

to settle the score with her, or he was here for the babies in her belly. After all, the babies did carry the Harper

family blood. Because of them, he might be willing to acknowledge her relationship with Damon, giving him an

opportunity to appear magnanimous, possibly even expecting her to be grateful for his ‘generosity” Knowing him,

he would never admit his mistakes

But Alyssa’s unexpected intervention shattered his plans, leaving no room for negotiation. He may believe that

allowing her into the Harper family was a great favor, but Alyssa made it clear that they weren’t interested in his

family at all

Was there anything left to discuss? There was absolutely no room left for him to state his case

Chloe bit her lip and remained silent, not saying a word. The room was eerily quiet, everyone holding their breath.

“Why are you still standing there blocking the way? I’ll tell you, Presley, you may think the Harper family is more

important than anything else, and that’s fine. I can’t control that, but I will not allow you to ruin my grandson’s life

in any way Go back and take care of your Harper Group, we are content with our ordinary, mundane lives” Alyssa’s

voice was no longer as cold and funous as before, now it was calm, as if the previous outburst had never happened

Presley looked at her coldly. “You women, content with an ordinary, mundane life you’re selfish!”

Suddenly pointing at Chloe, his voice filled with anger, “How can you be sure that men think the same? How can

men allow you to live such ordinary, mundane lives without anything? Are you too naive or too foolish to think the

world is so beautiful? Without wealth and power, where is the peace and tranquility?

“Have you ever thought about a man’s dignity? Have you ever considered their ambitions and aspirations? Damon

gave up the Harper family for you, and now people can freely criticize, mock and ridicule him. Who dared to speak

ill of him in the past?

“Alyssia, after all these years, perhaps ive protected you too well and that’s why you’re still so naive”

Alyssa’s face was cold and her lips tightly pressed Presley looked at her with a face full of sorrow, “Damon is now so

lost because of his love for this woman. Have you ever thought about what his children will face when they are

born? Do you also want his children to live a life as ordinary as his father?”

“You don’t need to worry about me” Just as the old man finished speaking, a cold and indifferent voice echoed from

behind. Everyone turned to look, only to see Damon standing there in his suit and tie

“What did you say? You’re still not reflecting on your actions? What do you think your current situation will leave for

your children?!”

“1 certainly have something that will make them absolutely proud They will have everything that I can provide with.

You don’t need to remind me. If you’re still here with the same Harper family supremacist attitude, then there’s no

need for you to say anything more

“You’re really stubborn Presley was disappointed. After so long, reality had not brought about any change in him.

How sad

After a while, he chuckled, “So young and reckless, you think you have enough talent, right? I know she is now the

princess of Y Country, which can save you a few years of hard work, but to achieve the status of the Harper family

today, even if you have talents and help, I’m afraid it will take you several decades. You want to give your kids

something to be proud of Talking big, aren’t you?”

Presley finished speaking, walked over to Damon, and looked at him with cold eyes. “Look at your current situation,

being ridiculed like that, how does it feel? Don’t you realize what you’ve lost since leaving the Harper family?!”

Damon looked at the old man with an indifferent gaze, and spoke calmly. The Harper clan is all well and good, but

frankly, I don’t find it worth my time to constantly hear of its grandeur And I don’t see anything in the current

Harper family that’s worth your pride.

“Once I decided to leave the Harper family, I never thought Id crawl back because I couldn’t survive So don’t try to

tempt me with how powerful the it is to be honest, everything about the Harpers is unattractive to me

Presley’s hand, clutching his cane, was tight, making his entire body tremble. His facial muscles twitched

uncontrollably

“Fine. You really are stubborn I’m waiting for the day you come back begging

Damon chuckled lightly, a dismissive smile in his dark eyes, looking at the old man somewhat helplessly Rest

assured, that day will never come”

His simple words, however, conveyed absolute arrogance and confidence
