The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1222

Wendy shrieked loudly again when Chloe was pulling out the needle.

After the needle was out, Chloe eamestly said again, “Since you can’t catch a cold, you should stay here for

another night and leave tomorrow.”

She continued, “After all, if you guys get sick, I’m the one who has to take the blame.”

Wendy was naturally happy for her to do this. Grace could not ignore Wendy’s health either.

After saying this, Chloe took out the needles, handed them over to Jane, and then walked over to Damon.

“I never expected you to have medical skills.”

Chloe blinked her eyes, leaned forward towards Damon, and whispered, “Actually, I don’t.”

Damon’s eyes were filled with helplessness and indulgence, he reached out his hand to wrap around her waist,

pulling her closer. “Sly little fox.”

This was a conversation that only the two of them could hear. Damon’s voice reminded Chloe of times when he

would whisper sweet nothings during their intimate

moments.

Chloe’s eyes flickered a few times, she lightly bit her lip. “She really made a lot of trouble, and if I didn’t cooperate,

wouldn’t her plan be wasted?”

The two disregarded the people around them and walked out of the room. Chloe lowered her head and rubbed the

hand that had been holding Wendy’s, recalling Grace’s words; her eyes were filled with deep thought.

“Damon…” she suddenly said.

“What?”

Chloe was silent for a while and didn’t say anything until they reached the staircase. Damon stopped walking and

looked down at her. “What’s wrong?”

Chloe looked up and smiled at him, “You’re not angry anymore, right?”

Damon looked at her, “I’m not angry.”

“You’re lying. You were clearly angry just now.”

“I’m not angry now.”

Chloe smiled. “How can you let me bully your friend who grew up with you?”

Damon smiled. “You can bully her as you like.”

Chloe paused for a few seconds, then suddenly started laughing..

“If she hears this, she’ll definitely be pissed.”

“As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters.”

Marina hesitated for a long time before tentatively speaking to Elizabeth. She hoped they could stay. She described

the loneliness Presley felt living alone in the mansion in a way that could not help but elicit sympathy.

They knew Marina meant no harm. Elizabeth softened, and so did Chloe. In fact, they felt a little guilty.

Presley had done some unforgivable things, even heartbreaking things. But they had their own thoughts. Just

because someone had wronged them, they didn’t necessarily have to retaliate. Besides, he was Presley, not

someone they should hate,

Everyone had their own stand. For instance, Presley was an elder of the Harper family. And they were the wives of

the men of the Harper family.

Elizabeth knew of Presley’s behavior from a young age. Presley’s outrageous behavior caused Royce to stay away

for over two decades. This was where Elizabeth felt she owed Presley.

Regardless of who was right or wrong in Chloe and Wendy’s disputes, the originally peaceful relationship between

the two families was now at a deadlock, which Chloe was responsible for. Damon had even openly confronted

Presley because of Chloe, almost to the point of cutting familial ties. This was where Chloe felt she owed Presley.

Although there were many conflicts, none of them were unsolvable. And the current problem was just the Alonso

family.

In the end, Elizabeth decided to stay, and Chloe agreed. Marina happily went to prepare dinner.

At the dinner table, Presley was there, and of course, so was Grace. Despite objections, Wendy insisted on dining at

the table with her fingers tightly wrapped and unable to bend. Her motive was clear, she wanted to see Damon.

Later, Robin also came. Robin knew nothing and tried his best keep the atmosphere lively throughout.

Rose was a guest, and although Presley didn’t show any expression throughout, he would occasionally say a word

or two to Rose. This behavior was, in a way, a show of respect towards Chloe.

Rose was Chloe’s good friend; he at least didn’t let Chloe lose her dignity and status in the Harper family.

“Everyone needs to get up early tomorrow and accompany Rose to her prenatal checkup. Chloe and Yulia, you two

will soon become mothers. Also, Chloe’s engagement is coming up, and we should go to the beauty salon again.

Especially Chloe, you need a full–body beauty treatment.”

Elizabeth arranged tomorrow’s schedule. Her last sentence, both her expression and tone contained a bit of

ambiguity, making Chloe blush. Wasn’t this the same as cleaning her up and sending her directly to Damon’s bed?

How could she spend so much time with these married women? What words were off–limits in their eyes?

Wendy was eating very slowly at the side. Each of Elizabeth’s statements repeatedly stabbed her heart. Becoming a

mother, the date of engagement, full–body beauty treatment…

These were all things she rejected, things she was insanely jealous of.

The engagement ceremony was coming…

Chapter 1222

Towards the end of the meal, Elizabeth put down her knife and fork. “Wendy.”

Suddenly being called, Wendy was somewhat surprised. No one expected Elizabeth to suddenly focus on Wendy,

and they all looked up at her.

“Mrs. Harper…” Wendy’s voice was weak, her face pale. Everyone knew that she had indeed suffered a lot in the

past few days, even though there was still a bit of pretense in her frail appearance.

“The engagement ceremony is coming soon. It’s a joyous day, I see you’re so weak, your wounds probably won’t

heal in a few days, so you better not show up on the engagement day. Don’t let your bad luck and bloody scent

affect the happy event.”

Wendy’s heart suddenly turned cold, her face froze for a moment, then became even worse than before.

“Mrs. Harper…” she almost pleaded.

Did she have bad luck? Weren’t all these wounds on her body caused by Chloe?

Even though she didn’t really look forward to the engagement day, it’d still be nice to see Damon on that day, she

thought, despite the fact that she couldn’t stop the engagement from happening. But now she couldn’t even show

up at the engagement party….

Many people bought into this kind of talk, preferring to believe that happy events should not be tainted by bad luck,

or that tragedy would result from negligence. Even if someone didn’t believe this, no one wouldn’t dare to refute it.

Now that Elizabeth used this as an excuse, she had no room for rebuttal.
