The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1759

The audacity of Chloe further ignited Presley’s fury.

Meeting the CEO of INT Corporation privately was already a humbling experience for him. He had always hoped

that the Harper family would improve, and at least, during his lifetime, he could see the Harper family return to the

top of the international stage.

However, his stubbornness was already ingrained in him, so sitting here now was an embarrassing deed that

couldn’t be publicly acknowledged

Now that Chloe had caught him red–handed, he felt that he had lost all dignity.c2

“You How dare you to follow me around”

In Presley’s heart, Chloe was either the culprit who caused the chaos in the Harper family, or an outsider who was

distasteful Acknowledging openly that she had been tracking him only further diminished any goodwill he might

have had towards her

Mr. and Mrs Steve looked at Chloe standing at the door with a puzzled face, curious about the conversation

between Presley and her

Chloe’s expression was indifferent. The chill in her eyes was obvious She wore an expression of mockery and

disappointment Following someone is wrong, but we’re not saints either. We’re in no position to criticize others,

don’t you think?

Presley’s face darkened, “You blatantly admit to tailing me invading my room, and now you’re saying I have no right

to criticize you?”

Chloe nodded, staring at Presley’s face for a while, then suddenly let out a cold laugh. She pursed her lips, tilting

her head slightly in a helpless laugh, then returned her gaze to Presley The laughter in her eyes gradually turned

cold, like frost. It’s just that I still hope to leave some room for us”

Presley’s expression changed. “What do you mean?”

Chloe’s expression was icy. I’m puzzled. What are you persisting for? What reason could possibly make you hate me

so much? is it your dignity that has never been defied over the years? So sitting here now, isn’t it a hit to your

pride?”

“You

“Or do you think Chloe’s voice suddenly rose, cutting off Presley’s words, her gaze cold and sarcastic. “Or do you

think, Damon would obediently retum to the Harper family as you wish after you crush me and leave me with

nothing?”

Presley’s face stiffened

“If you really think so, then I feel incredibly sorry for him He’s been by your side for thirty years, yet you understand

him less than i, who came out of nowhere and has known him for less than a year What have you been doing for

thirty years?”

Kane and Nathan, after taking a sharp breath at Chloe’s words, gradually fell into a solemn silence. Yes, even they

knew that Damon was never the type to be easily controlled if he didn’t want to, no one could make him

So what had Presley been doing all these years?

Don’t look at me like that, are you angry? You get mad only when I’m right. I’ll tell you what you’ve been doing. You

only see how much profit he’s brought to the Harper family, whether he’s better today than yesterday, and

whether he has the ability to elevate the Harper family higher. His existence is entirely based on the Harper family

If he defies you or gives up the Harper family, then he is nothing.”

Presley was shaking with rage at Chloe’s words, his hands gripping the edge of the table, trembling intensely

“You’re twisting words, spouting nonsense! Do you know what’s most important for a man? You made his life

worthless, meaningless! It’s the Harper family that made him and you you ruined him

“What made him was never the Harper family His existence is the greatest meaning” Chloe interrupted him again,

leaving Presley speechless. However, his face was still filled with anger. He didn’t want to acknowledge a single

word Chloe said

Seeing him like this, Chloe let out a cold laugh and sighed. “Fine I can’t outstubborn you Let’s pretend I never said

these words tonight. But I hóp that tonight, were giving you one last chance to save your dignity

Chloe paused, trying to phrase her words as tactfully as possible But as she spoke, she saw Presley’s even angrier

expression, and she realized that there was no chance of reconciling the relationship between Presley and Damon

She was truly helpless against such stubbornness and obstinance

Yes She was so spineless that even now, she was still considering compromising with him

But she had no bargaining chips to compromise with him To ask her to step back and give up Damon as he wished,

it was simply impossible.

She felt as if she had returned to six years ago, when her mother had just left, and she was in a state of confusion

and contradiction. She hated the Summes. family for their injustice to her mother and herself yet she didn’t want to

lose them, as it would mean losing her last form of protection.

She had experienced that once and it was enough From the moment she and Damon got together she had said

that she wouldn’t be ha bunden and blemish.

Yet she had still caused him to lose too much

She loved him and wanted him to be the happiest person in the world. She knew that no one and nothing was

perfect, but she still wanted Damon to thi person

She wasn’t afraid to compromise with Presley, because for Damon the thought it was worth it

However, Presley was like a fortress, offering no chance for compromise.

“Chloe let’s go

Nathan tugged at her from the side Although he was initially confused, now, after intruding and slumbing upon

Presley and hearing what was just said he had a rough idea of what was going on

She was still hoping to mend the relationship between Presley and his brother

But how could that be? Presley’s stubbornness was something that even grandma couldn’t change in a lifeter

1/3

Aho could have known that the woman who was once the talk of the town, was actually so captivating and fierce

At this point, Chloe had no intention of staying here any longer. She pursed her lips and, turning to the side,

prepared to leave, but a brusque command behind her

“Hold it right there!”

Chloe froze, her expression icy

“You follow me here, barge into my private booth and you think you can just walk away like nothing happened?”

Even Kane, standing to the side, muttered a curse under his breath. That old man was incorrigible

Nathan’s usually carefree face was nowhere to be seen his dark mood resembling that of Damon’s “Grandpa,

enough. You’re not young anymore Stop acting like a bully and tormenting a woman Do you think that makes you

look powerful?”

Presley’s face twitched violently, “What kind of spell has this woman cast on you all? You’re all under her

bewitchment”

Kane scratched his head, looking conflicted. He didn’t want to argue with Presley, but he also felt it was too much

“You see Grandpa,” he finally said. “You’ve said it all Isn’t that the answer? First of all, perhaps you should accept

that your taste is different from ours For exapmle, you like Wendy, and we don’t Secondly, you’ve lived a long life,

and you can’t seriously believe in love potions, can you? If there’s such a thing, it’s just Chloe’s charm Why not just

admit you find her charming? Why make it sound so bitter?”

Nathan trying to maintain a stony face, couldn’t help but chuckle at this

Chice couldn’t help but smile With these guys around, feeling down was a luxury she couldn’t afford

“Look at all of you! Shameless! You’ll pay for this one day!”

Nathan sighed He’d heard this threat countless times “Grandpa, we’re still Harpers. You must want the best for us.

We’re not going to dishonor our family, am You

Chloe grinned She hadn’t expected Nathan to be so sharp. It was not like they were mortal enemies

“Let’s go No need for goodbyes

Presley’s face turned stone cold. “Did I say she could leave?”

“Or else what?” Nathan was about to say something, but suddenly, Damon’s icy voice came from behind. Then, his

tall figure stood in front of Chloe, his arm around her waist, his cold gaze fixed on Presley

“What else would you have her do

Presley glared at Damon, his face turning even darker. “She came here today just to stir up trouble. Even if I do

something to het what can you do about it77

“So, I’m asking you what would you have her do?” Damon’s voice was colder this time

“I want her to get the hell out of here. She better not embarrass herself at this year’s Global Economic Summit I

certainly don’t want others gossip about us because of her”

Chloe laughed in disbelief, “And what does my embarrassment have to do with you?”

Presley scoffed Are you planning to attend the Global Economic Summit with a boy toy?”

His scomful gaze and voice landed on Damon, even his gloomy face was filled with mockery. “Or do you think that’s

something to be proud of? Everyone knows you’re my grandson How am I supposed to face the world if you attend

the Global Economic Summit as a boy toy?”

Damon looked at him coldly, then finally let out a laugh You must’ve forgotten about the press conference you held

before we came Everyone knows that the been kicked out of the Harper family So my honor or disgrace has

nothing to do with you. Rest assured, even if I become a beggar, i won’t beg at your door you re trying to suppress

Chloe just to force me back, you better give up now.”

Damon finished, his words filled with nothing but ice and coldness

“How could you possibly beg?” Chloe couldn’t help but speak up She didn’t like hearing that.

Damon pressed his lips together and his face didn’t lighten up

Nathan and Kane also closed the door and followed the two out

The waitress leading the way looked terrified. She had heard the entire conversation and knew these were all

important people affending the Summit, people she couldn’t afford to offend

Even though Damon looked upset he still took Chloe to the booth next door. After she had thrown up so violently

earlier, he couldn’t | go hungry

Chice ordered a bunch of dishes, and so did Nathan and Kane The atmosphere warmed up significantly with their

presenos, and they all enjoyed a satisfying meal.

“We are quite the fiølodies. On the way back. Kane patted his belly and let out a satisfed burp

Chice didn’t say anything, but she had been stealing glances at Damon the whole way back

Back at the hotel Damon silently helped Chloe off with her scarf and coat, his face expressionless

Chloe pursed her lips and tugged at Damon’s shift, looking up at him. I’m sorry today

But Damon cut her off with a firm kiss

loomy mood was a bit unaaffing.

Chloe’s eyes widened in surprise utterly baffled by Damon’s sudden move. Wasn’t he angry? So was this ( as an

outburst of his frustration?

The prolonged friction of their lips sent a familiar sting through her causing Chlor to furrow her brows. Damon

broke the kiss but kept hus forehead pressed against heh “Why apologize? What did you do wrong?”

Chloe blinked. “Then why are you mad? lunt it because i purposely met with Presley? I admit that i ì bit disespectful

Damon’s body pressed further onto hers, the sudden increase in pressure causing her to pause and stare at han in

surprise

the things i sad ‘

Demon remained silent for a while, his tone filled with helplessness. “You’re right, I’m angry. I don’t need you to

compromise for me.”

Chloe’s frustrated expression gradually returned to normal. She fell silent for a moment, “In the end, I am guilty for

the current situation between you and your grandfather.”

“Chloe!” Damon interjected stemly, “The root cause of the problem isn’t you, it’s him. He crossed the line. I know

who’s right and who’s wrong I can’t stand him having the upper hand. Do you understand?”

“I was just thinking about what Kane said at the airport today It made sense. I also feel that even if I tolerate him, I

won’t be able to do that for much longer Besides, continuing to argue with him is like using his stubbornness and

ignorance to punish ourselves I just want to feel at peace being with you I’m not a selfless person. If I compromise

with him, it’s only to make my future a little easier”
