The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1382

“Where are we heading next?” Chloe asked, looking out the car window.

“Home” Damon said.

Chloe paused a bit, then gently shook her head, “Not just yet. Grandpa Presley looked off-color today, the whole

fiasco embarrassed him. We should check up on him.”

Damon’s head was buried in the crook of her neck, breathing in her faint scent. Upon hearing her, he knitted his

brows.

He lifted his head, forehead against hers, “Aren’t you pissed?”

Chloe took a deep breath, “I am”

“Then don’t force yourself. Damon said.

“it’s a matter of principle. He’s your grandpa, technically mine too. He crossed the line, but he’s still our elder! He

can wrong me, but I can’t. I know you don’t want me to be wronged, but I just want to remain guilt-free. So in the

future, I can face him and you without any qualms. The last thing I want is for you to regret. He’s your biological

grandpa, and all he does is for your sake. The only thing he’s not okay with is my family background, which isn’t up

to par to support you. But I can compensate, it’s no big deal.” Chloe said.

Damon stroked her soft hair, his eyes deep and reflective, mirroring Chloe’s bright and beautiful face. His voice was

soft and enchanting. “You’ve said it all. What else can I add?”

Chloe smiled, leaning into his embrace, ‘As long as it’s for you, I’m happy to do anything”

Damon ran his fingers through her hair, bending down to press a kiss on her forehead.

How Wendy made it home, she had no clue herself. She sat in the luxurious living room, hair a mess, clothes

disheveled. She seemed soulless, tears silently streaming down her face. Her mind was a whirlwind, and she was

scrolling through her phone.

The internet was full of mockery towards her.

“Serves her right, always flaunting around as a member of the Alonso family

*She even made a scene at the Harper Group’s board meeting. I bet she was even more arrogant there. It’s a

shame I didn’t get to see her being rebutted.” “What a disgrace.”

“Ms. Summers even gets jealous differently, so domineering, quite impressive!”

“I wish I could marry the domineering Ms. Summers!

“Yes! I’d love to see Ms. Summers get jealous for me”

“But I thought Mr. Harper was a gentle and polite gentleman. I never thought he’d hit a woman. I didn’t see it

coming. He actually hit a woman.”

“I think it’s good that Mr. Harper hit that woman. She pushed Ms. Summers first. Being bothered by her is already

annoying, and she almost hurt the woman he loves. If it were me, I would be even harsher. She got off easy with

just a slap.”

“Ms. Summers is smart and competent, and also very pretty. It feels right seeing her with Mr. Harper.”

“Though I’m a bit reluctant, I still hope Ms. Summers and Mr. Harper can live happily ever after.”

Wendy clenched her phone, reading the online comments about her and Chloe. She was seething with rage, on the

brink of exploding.

The sound of a car engine came from outside. Soon, Cole appeared at the door. Grace, who had been by Wendy’s

side, quickly approached him, “Cole, you’re back.”

Cole’s face was grim. He pushed Grace aside, his gaze landing on Wendy.

Wendy immediately stood up, looking at Cole nervously, “Dad.”

Cole paused, stepped forward, and slapped Wendy across the face.

The slap was much harder than the ones Damon and Chloe had given her earlier that day. Wendy was knocked to

the ground. She sat on the floor, a few inches away from Cole, clutching her face. Her face ached, her ears rang,

and blood trickled from her nose.

“Wendy”” Grace was startled and rushed to Wendy’s side, looking at her injury.

Wendy’s face quickly swelled up.

“What the hell? How could you hit your own daughter like that?” Grace glared at Cole.

Cole’s forehead veins throbbed, his eyes filled with fury, “What did I do? Don’t you know what she did?””

Grace opened her mouth, but was at a loss for words.

Cole said, “She tried to steal someone else’s boyfriend, flaunting her Alonso family status, and ended up making a

fool of herself! She picked a fight and ended up losing the company Now, the whole Alonso family has to suffer

because of her stupidity! The contract was all set. She ruined it, and I even got reprimanded and insulted. Idiot!

Look at the mess you’ve made! For a man, you used every trick in the book, and ended up embarrassing yourself.

How foolish”

Returning from the airport, Cole came straight home. With the company in such a mess, he didn’t even have the

courage to go there. He felt humiliated and didn’t know how to face his employees and shareholders

All he wanted was to give the instigator a good lesson to vent his anger. Otherwise, he felt like he was going to

explode with this matter weighing on his mind.

Wendy didn’t cry or scream. She just sat on the floor like a puppet with its strings cut, motionless.

Grace bit her lip hard, her face equally grim, “Wendy is also upset, do you think she wanted any of this?”

Cole said, ‘Do you even know how much she’s done? And now you’re saying she doesn’t want to face the outcome?

Who would, huh? Tell me, who would? Chloe? Yeah, she’d love to see that happen! Isn’t that just a kick in the pants?

You’ve been the one picking fights all along, and now you’re the one left with egg on your face!”
