The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1750

Damon’s eyebrows pinched slightly at her silent appearance. Nate stood before Damon, head bowed, hardly daring

to meet Chloe’s gaze. Chloe pushed the door open and stepped in, noting the attitudes of the two men, a frown

gradually forming on her forehead.

Damon’s gaze followed her his movements subtle as he turned off his phone screen and set it aside. After all, he

was currently in the Y Country, and the reviews about him on the internet were naturally not as harsh as they were

back home

“Have you explained everything to Grandma?” Damon asked, his tone unchanging

Chloe’s eyes briefly skimmed over his phone, almost instantaneously shifting back to Damon’s face She gave a

small nod. I did Grandma was upset, so once I’ve settled affairs back home, I might come back to stay with her for

a while

Damon’s eyebrows twitched. That depends on your capabilities ‘c7

Chloe approached him, standing opposite his desk, with a smile on her face, “Why so?”

“You might have forgotten, but you also have one grandmother and one mother–in–law who are very fond of you.”

Chloe had indeed forgotten that

Sensing her hesitation, Damon gave a slight smile, his long fingers drumming lightly on the desk. When do you plan

on going back?”

“As soon as possible Maybe tomorrow That way, I can spend more time with Grandma Alyssa and Elizabeth

“Alright,” Damon responded nonchalantly, turning his gaze towards Nate and commanding in a cold voice, “Isn’t it

time you started making arrangements?”

Nate snapped back to reality, quickly replying “Yes“, and humed to leave. The arrangements were not just about

the retum trip. There were also matters to resolve on the domestic internet

Chloe didn’t stop Nate, instead turning her attention back to Damon, and asked, “So, what were you two discussing

just now? What are you trying to hide from met If she didn’t ask anything, it would seem too deliberate

Damon looked up at her a smile playing at his lips, ‘Of course, I’m hiding how much money I have.”

Chloe raised an eyebrow and smirked, “If I wanted to know, I could find out. After all, whatever money you have, is

mine. It’s just a big number and as long as I know it’s more than I can spend in my lifetime, that’s enough

Damon chuckled “What if we run out one day?”

Then you deserve it for not telling me how much you’re worth”

“Sure, spend as much as you can. Let’s see if that day ever comes”

Chloe smiled, tapping the documents in front of him, “I don’t want to see that day, so get back to work and earn

money”

Damon sighed, straightened up and picked up his pen, “Yes, I’ll definitely work hard to support you

“Good” Chloe said sounding pleased, Tll go pack my bags now. Good luck With that, she left the study cheerfully

Damon watched her leave, the smile gradually disappearing from his face once the study door closed, his gaze

falling on the phone by his side, his eyebrows pinched slightly

Outside the door, Chloe’s smile faded too. Remembering Damon’s actions when he put down his phone, she took

out her own phone from her pocket, opened the browser, and saw that the local news in Y Country was dominated

by yesterday’s coronation ceremony

There was no news that could make Damon want to hide something from her Could she be mistaken? But she had

heard him, that he was indeed hiding something from her

Frowning, she headed towards the bedroom, deep in thought about what could have gone wrong

Today was supposed to be the day she bid farewell to her grandmother at the palace. What could have happened in

Y Country that he would hide from her?

Suddenly, she stopped, her eyes on her phone, and her lips pursed, as she expertly navigated the device. Since

there was nothing wrong in the Y Country, it must be in their hometown, P City, where the problem lay

However, just as she was about to search it on her phone, she heard the study door open behind her. She turned

around to see Damon, his lips pursed, walking straight towards her Her eyes flickered, “What’s up?”

“About what we discussed earlier”

Damon just started speaking when Chloe’s phone rang Chloe retrieved her gaze, seeing the caller ID, the answered

the call without hesitation.

“Dear Chloe

“Chloe”

Two familiar voices made Damon’s eyebrows furrow instantly

Chloe had a small smile on her face, Grandma Alyssa, Elizabeth”

“Hmm, Chloe darling, we both miss you. When will you be back?

“That’s night This is your first year of being married to Damon Hurry back, we’re starting prepi

Tm all ready, I should be back tomorrow”

“Really?! You see, it seems like we have an unspoken connection, don’t we? What time is your flight? We’ll pick you

up tomorrow!”

“Nate is handling it, and I’ll let you know once it’s confirmed”

“Okay

Alyssa and Elizabeth laughed happily, the screen shaking slightly as the phone was handed over to Elizabeth Chloe,

am you doing well? they well?”

Chloe nodded, “Of course, they’re doing well”

In response, her expression somewhat serious, “Be careful when you land tomorrow. I suspect the reporters won’t

leave you alone/Don’t mind ver they ask. They’re just trolls trying to belittle you. Don’t waste your time and

emotions on them.”

lee’s eyes narrowed slightly. As expected. “What happened? Did something happen back home?”

Elizabeth said, “There are too many busybodies in our country. They’re jealous of Damon’s affection for you and

since they can’t antagonize you, they’ve shifted their focus to Damon. The comments aren’t nice, but you shouldn’t

worry about it

Chloe’s frown deepened instantly. She glanced at Damon, blinked, and suddenly broke into a run toward the

bedroom

Damon didn’t expect she would do that. As he quickened his pace to catch up, Chloe had already shut the bedroom

door with a decisive click

Damon was taken aback. Chloe, who was panting against the door, had given Alyssa and Elizabeth on the phone

quite a scare Sweetheart, why did you run off like that?”

Chloe shook her head, “Nothing What’s happening back home? Why is Damon being talked about even though he’s

not there?”

Elizabeth hesitated, a hint of worry creeping into her heart. Did she cause trouble for Damon? If Chloe didn’t know,

then he must be intending to keep it from her

“Well

The call was suddenly cut off

Chloe frowned. She tried ringing again through WhatsApp, but it indicated that the user was busy. Then, Damon’s

sullen voice sounded outside the door What did you tell her?”

“Nothing much, but I reckon Chloe’s smart enough to figure it out Sorry son, we won’t disturb your quality time

anymore. See you tomorrow With that, Elizabeth hung up abruptly, not giving Damon a chance to respond

With gloom etched between his brows. Damon faced the closed door. He stepped forward and knocked on it “Chloe,

open the door”

At this point, Chloe had successfully found the domestic media pages. However, the comments under the trend

painted a different picture

Damon was a freeloader, using women to climb the social ladder, wooing the princess to become a live in son–in–

law

More disparaging remarks followed As Chloe read on, her grip on her phone tightened, her hand turning white and

shaking noticeably. The anger in her heart was far beyond her control at this point

How vile were these people to slander someone like this? What gave them the right to belittle him?

He was a man of grace and dignity, who treated her with utmost care. To them, however, he was just a man

leveraging women to elevate his status His very dignity was stripped away by their slander

“Chloe Damon’s voice had called out several times from outside. As his words fell, the bedroom door suddenly

swung open.

69

Chloe stood in the doorway, looking up at him Her eyes were red, betraying her attempt at appearing strong.

Seeing her like this, Damon sighed and pulled her into his arms “Your current state justifies why I intended to keep

this from you”

Chloe merely stayed in his embrace, not even given a chance to voice her grievances. “I didn’t expect things to

turn out this way

“I didn’t think it was a big deal”

Chloe shook her head while nestled in his arms.

Damon held the back of her head. “You care so much. Do you believe what they’re saying?”

“How could I?”

That’s not the truth. You don’t need to worry about it.”

Chloe stayed silent. Despite his words, she couldn’t help but be angry at the sight of Damon being ridiculed. She

always thought she wouldn’t let the words of strangers on the internet affect her, but these people always knew

how to push her buttons. Cyberbullying was more vicious and violent than any real–life enemy

“Ainight, don’t get angry over their ignorance You might upset the twins”

Whenever there were problems, their babies were always his trump card. Hearing this, Chloe took a deep breath in

Damon’s arms.

Nate quickly arranged everything for their return to the country and made sure that matters back home were

being taken care of

When he reported back, Chice was sitting in the living room, her expression a bit gnm Damon was treading

carefully around her, completely at her

Nate thought that Damon might have let the cat out of the bag Handling the situation at home didn’t seem to

matter anymore

After a flight of over ten hours, they finally landed at P City airport. At around eight in the evening, Alyssa, Elizabeth,

and Royce successfully picked up Chice from

the VIP ext

Upon seeing her, Alyssa and Elizabeth immediately flocked to her pushing Damon aside

Damon’s face darkened considerably. However, he didn’t dare to say anything to them and let them lead Chloe

away

Royce, naturally was left aside by his wife, but he remained expressionless and naturally walked over to Damon

What are you planning to do about tha?”

“Once the storm has passed, everything will be fine

Royce frowned. Do nothing? You don’t care about your reputation, but what about Chloe? How would she feel? How

can a man protect a wom d he protect his own reputation? Have you thought about how people would see her

when you’re being ridiculed and scomed?”

Damon clenched his lips. As long as she trusts me that’s all that matters. My dignity iant so fragile that a few

baseless comments i shafter it. She won’t be led by the nose by these people”

Royce snorted, halted his steps and looked at the chaos ahead. “What about now?

Damon looked up. The three women ahead were surrounded by reporters who had come out of nowhem. Although

bodyguards were already around them, the reporters enthusiasm remained undiminished

“Miss Chloe, congratulations on your successful crowning as a princess. May I ask, Mr. Damon truly become the sit

Country?”

once admitted to being a kept boy, so what exactly is the relationship between you two? From the start, were you

only attracted to his looks?”

“He’s willing to give up the vast Harper family fortune to be with you. Princess Chloe, have you ever thought that he

might have known about your background along and that’s why he’s so attached to you?”

Chloe’s expression darkened as she scanned the chaos in front of her. She responded coldly, “You should all

become screenwriters

The reporters were taken aback, having received only this response after posing several questions. They felt

unsatisfied. “Do you feel trapped just because you’re pregnant?”

Chloe’s icy gaze narrowed, “What are you implying?”

“Now you’ve transformed into the distinguished princess of a nation, while Mr. Harper has been left penniless and

destitute by the Harper family, a homeless dog…..”

*Slap!”

Before the reporter had even finished his sentence, Chloe reached over her bodyguard and landed an accurate

slap on his mouth. The scene fell into silence, the bustling airport now eenly quiet. No one expected Chloe to

publicly slap a reporter.

That slap, clear and resounding

A public figure the princess of Y Country, and the CEO of Starlight Entertainment, slapped a journalist. This action

was bound to incite opposition and resistance from all media outlets and they wouldn’t let her off the hook easily. If

an entertainment company lost the support of the media, it was almost as good as gone

Chloe, she sure had guts

As everyone snapped back to reality, they started snapping pictures and recording videos of Chloe Yet, Chloe

remained collected. She snatched the microphone out of the stunned reporter’s hand and casually ripped off his

press pass hanging around his neck.

“I thought I knew the media circle pretty well, but I’ve never heard of your magazine. If you want to pursue this, I’m

game, as long as you’re not afraid of being exposed who’s pulling your strings

If they could find someone like you, they must be desperate. You thought I was too naive to see through your

obvious agenda? How stupid do you think I am?”
