The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1644

The knot in her heart, which felt like it had been suspended in mid–air, finally came to rest.

In truth, her mother was never a cold–hearted woman. Her prejudices against the Harper family were solely

towards Presley.

“Alright, don’t you feel embarrassed? Don’t you realize how old you are?”

Elizabeth arched her brow. “So what if I’m old? My heart is still youthful.”

Yasmine snorted with laughter. “That’s exactly why I don’t trust you with Chloe. My grandchildren will be raised by

me.“c2

“No way!” That statement hit a nerve with Elizabeth. “They’re my grandchildren too! I have every right to raise

them!”

Yasmine squinted her eyes. “With all your fussing, how can you take care of kids?”

“Where am I fussing?”

“I’m not wasting my breath arguing with you. The kids will be raised by me.”

Elizabeth was seething. “On what grounds? You’re the maternal grandmother, but I’m the paternal grandmother!”

“The children are flesh of my daughter’s flesh! Your son should have kids of his own if he

wants to raise them!”

“Without my son, these grandchildren wouldn’t exist! Can’t you be reasonable?”

Yasmine huffed coldly, turned away, and muttered. “Your son was a fluke.”

Elizabeth was stunned. What did Yasmine mean by saying Elizabeth’s son was a fluke?!

She glared at Yasmine’s back for a few seconds, and her nose suddenly twitched. “You.. you’re absolutely

outrageous!”

With that, a louder sob echoed through the room.

“Chloe and Damon are truly in love, but you claim my son was a fluke! Wow it’s so not true! You’re the children’s

maternal grandmother, and I’m their paternal grandmother We can both raise them! You’re actually trying to

deprive me of my rights as a grandmother! You re so cruel, so cold–hearted, so ruthless!”

Yasmine sighed. She turned to see Elizabeth sitting there, one hand covering her eyes, as she whimpered

incessantly

What a drama queen!

Chloe couldn’t help but cover her face. These strangely familiar words were too obvious, but Elizabeth seemed

oblivious, continuing her pitiful weeping.

Yasmine took a deep breath, holding her forehead. Elizabeth’s cries were like a persistent

Chapter

earworm, irritating her. “Alright, stop wailing. We’ll raise them together. Together!”

Elizabeth’s sobbing abruptly stopped. “Well then, why don’t you move to Greenfield Village? We can assist with your

rehabilitation, and with Chloe pregnant, your presence would help in various ways!”

That seemed to be her ultimate goal!

Yasmine frowned. “Living with you? Impossible? I’m a maternal grandmother. It’s not proper for me to live with

you!”

Elizabeth sniffled, chuckling twice. “You admit you’re a maternal grandmother?”

Yasmine rolled her eyes.

“Who says in–laws can’t live together? We’re doing this for the kids‘ sake. Plus, having you around would make

Chloe happier!”

Yasmine’s eyes flickered, this reasoning was indeed persuasive.

“Alright, it’s settled then!” Seeing Yasmine wavering, Elizabeth immediately sealed the deal.

Although Yasmine was stern, she didn’t refuse.

Chloe couldn’t help but feel happy, emerging from her room. Upon seeing her, Yasmine showed no surprise, merely

grunting and looking away. Elizabeth winked at Chloe and gave her a thumbs–up.

Chloe smiled. Although the process was a bit comical, the outcome was surprisingly good.

After packing up, they pushed Yasmine out of the rehabilitation center.

Going to Greenfield Village wasn’t a decision to be made lightly.

Chloe was carefully assisted into the car by Elizabeth. Yasmine was escorted into another car by Bryson Once in the

car, Elizabeth rolled down the window and called out to Yasmine, telling her to pack up and move over quickly.

Yasmine didn’t respond to her.

Before long, the two cars departed, following one another. Midway through their journey, they parted ways.

“Elizabeth seems very fond of Miss Chloe. In the car, Bryson commented cheerfully, genuinely happy

Yasmine thought about Elizabeth, her lips twitched, and she shook her head “She’s too rowdy, I get a headache

when I’m around her for too long I don’t know if Chloe can get used to her.”

Bryson smiled knowingly. “People like Elizabeth are easy to get used to, aren’t they? After all, aren’t we all forced to

mature?”

Growing up was beyond our control. It didn’t mean that just because you’d grown up, you’d lost your childishness.

Bryson had spent the most time with Yasmine and knew her best. If life hadn’t forced her to mature, she’d still be

that innocent girl. If there were someone she could rely on, she wouldn’t be as strict with herself as she was now,

constantly on guard.

“Maybe, people like that… are indeed easy to like.”

Bryson nodded. “You don’t seem to dislike her either.”

Yasmine turned her face awkwardly towards the window. “I wouldn’t go as far as to say I like

her.”

Bryson chuckled, shaking his head.

Yasmine was silent for a while before adding, “Whether I like her or not isn’t important What matters is that she

genuinely cares for Chloe. Otherwise, what’s the point of me liking her?”

Bryson nodded. “I think Damon is sincere with Miss Chloe. He went through a lot to bring you

home.”

Yasmine pursed her lips. If not for this, she wouldn’t have so readily accepted his relationship with Chloe Bryson

only knew that Damon had put in a lot of effort, but Yasmine had seen

Damon take a bullet for her when Boyd shot at her. He was the first to rescue someone from Boyd’s clutches.

If it wasn’t for Chloe, he certainly wouldn’t have risked infiltrating the Presidential Residence,

openly battling with live ammunition to rescue a captive.

She knew his feelings for Chloe were genuine, but if she didn’t show some kind of attitude, wouldn’t it make Chloe

seem insignificant in the Harper family?

Moreover, Presley, indeed, was a stubborn old guard deeply steeped in class consciousness. One bad apple spoiled

the whole bunch. Thinking about the old man of the Harper family, Yasmine’s mood plummeted significantly

At this moment, the car hadn’t moved for quite some time.

“What’s going on? Yasmine asked with a furrowed brow

Bryson, sitting in the passenger seat, immediately said. “There seems to have been an accident upfront, I’ll go

check it out

“Okay”

Bryson opened the car door and stepped out Not long after, he got back in “Oddly enough the surrounding area has

suddenly lost power. They say they’ve already alerted the relevant authorities to urgently investigate the issue

Yasmine frowned. “This is one of the top cities in the country. How could something like this happen?”

Bryson shrugged. “Unexpected things happen all the time.”

However, just as his words fell, the sound of a sharp object piercing glass resonated. The

driver, sitting behind the wheel, suddenly slumped over the steering wheel…
