The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1767

The worry on Hannah’s face deepened “Ma’am, Mr. Damon and his team will be busy at the moment. It’s not a

good time to call. Perhaps we should wait until get back. Well, wait until they’re done..”

“I said, give me your phone”

Hannah was startled and no longer dared to delay, pulling out her phone from her embrace and dialing Damon’s

number

Damon’s phone was with Nate, and seeing the call from the elderly lady, he was slightly taken aback and quickly

answered the call. “Hello?”

“Hello, Nate, it’s Hannah There’s something important here Ms Alyssa insists that Mr. Damon take the call “c2

There was a pause on Nate’s end, but the urgency in Hannah’s voice left him with no room to refuse. He stepped

out of the car, walked up to the front door, and negotiated with the staff to get the message to Damon.

Just then, Damon, arm in arm with Chloe, emerged Nate quickly approached, “Mr. Damon, your grandmother

insists that you take the call”

Chloe looked worned. “She must have seen what happened at the summit

Damon’s brow furrowed as he took the phone, guiding Chloe to a sofa in the lounge area Stepping away, he picked

up the call, “Grandmother?

“Hmm If there’s nothing else at the summit, you need to come home immediately

His face was unreadable as he asked quietly. “What happened?”

“There’s been an unexpected situation. Regardless of who is at fault, I don’t want to see this again. I’m not blaming

you, or complaining, but I don’t have anyone else to turn to Damon, do you understand what I mean?”

His grandmother’s voice trembled. Despite the distance, he could clearly sense her helplessness and

disappointment.

His eyebrows drew together, “I understand. You have a rest, and we will talk when I get back

“Okay.” She sounded drained, weakly acknowledging before asking, “Is Chloe okay?”

“She’s fine”

Take good care of her, Damon She shouldn’t suffer because of the Harpers”

Damon pursed his lips, “Okay”

She didn’t say anything else before hanging up.

Hannah, fearing Alyssa might call Presley in her anger and say something irreversible, rushed to take back the

phone. However Alyssa was already holding the phone to her ear raising a hand to stop Hannah.

Meanwhile, the summit had ended due to the standoff between the Harper family’s grandfather and grandson,

Robin, supporting his father left the conference

center

Robin’s mood was low, and he answered his ringing phone with clear annoyance. However, seeing the caller ID, he

glanced at his father, hesitated, and said, “It’s Mother

Presley’s face turned colder

Robin answered the call. “Mother

“Let your father take the call”

Alyssa’s sharp and commanding tone startled Robin. He offered the phone to Presley, “Mother wishes to speak with

you.”

Presley’s lips tightened, and he stared at the phone for a long time without taking it. I’m not in the mood to talk to

her

He pushed the phone away and shrugged off Robin’s supporting hand, staggering towards the parking lot.

Alyssa heard his refusal clearly through the phone, her expression icy

“Mother Father is not in a good mood right now. If there’s something

“If he refuses to take my call, then you can relay my message if he is so disrespectful and shameless, then he

shouldn’t mind adding a divorce to his list of issues

at his age

If it weren’t for Presley’s concem for his reputation, believing that a divorce would reflect poorly on him, she would

have divorced him long ago during the rocky phases of Royce and Elizabeth’s relationship

if it weren’t for that stubborn old man’s later compromise, she wouldn’t have compromised either

Back when he took over the Harper family, it was a tumultuous time. The line between the underworld and the

business world was blurry Despite being a businessman, he had the demeanor of a gangster, a quick temper, and

many habits that didn’t look promising Still, he had saved her life several times.

He was a typical macho man, unable to express his feelings with sweet words Still, his straightforward actions

clearly showed his feelings for her

She owed him her life Without him, she wouldn’t be alive today She was grateful to him in that era, his personality

and appearance were indeed attractive to women Many factors led her to be with him.

The first few years were good, really good

She understood the decisions he made for the sake of the family and never stopped him from strictly raising their

children And the children never disappointed him. Watching her children grow and excel brought her great joy

But she never thought he would interfere with their children’s marriages. Her son didn’t even have the right to

choose the woman he loved.

Their disagreements started then, and the distance between them grew. She began to doubt whether being with

him was the night choice

What was he thinking when he married her? if he truly loved her, how could he break up a loving couple? Only

those who had never been in love would prevent two people in love from being together, because they didn’t

understand how precious it was to be in love and how painful it was to be separated

But when Royce and Elizabeth had their children, he compromised, and she didn’t pursue the matter further and

moved out.

And she had grandsons, which was enough to distract her

Since then, there had been peace for a long time. Her greatest joy each day was caring for her grandchildren.

For thirty long years, she had never imagined that stubborn old man, her husband, would still be so obstinate,

resorting to his old tricks. It seemed like he was regressing with age

The Alonso family had been left in ruins, wasn’t his hand partly in it?

Now, he had pushed Damon out of the Harper family, even going as far as to publicly humiliate him.

He always talked about the Harper family’s reputation, and their dignity. Did he even understand the meaning of

family honor?

In the end, Damon’s own grandfather proved to be no better than a complete stranger Chloe was ready to risk her

life to protect Damon and Chloe, while Presley was the one ready to take lives

She had made a mistake, she should have severed ties with him thirty years ago. Perhaps then, things wouldn’t

have spiraled into this mess

Her words left Robin stunned, “Mother, you shouldn’t be so rash Father had his reasons.”

“His reasons led to consequences he alone couldn’t bear What’s so bad about his feelings? He should be thrilled

that Damon managed to humiliate himself. If he’s satisfied, he should hurry back. After dragging this on for thirty

years, this time, I won’t compromise I’m giving him one day. The day after tomorrow, I want to see him. If he

doesn’t respond, then I’ll consider our negotiations to have failed”

“Mother, you…

Alyssa didn’t give Robin a chance to speak, and hung up the phone.

Hannah, standing by her side, helplessly shook her head, “Madam, why go through all this trouble? After all these

years, what’s the point of stirring the pot? The current situation isn’t what he wants either Miss Chloe is pregnant

now, and I believe he will come to his senses sooner or later”

Alyssa shook her head, “If he was going to come to his senses, he would have done so already. Back then, Elizabeth

almost lost the child in her womb due to his foolish decisions Now I won’t allow Chloe to face the same danger Even

if I don’t have many years left, I want to correct the mistakes I made in my lifetime)

As she spoke she let out a long sigh, Hannah, perhaps I’ve never been loved by him in my entire life”

Hannah was moved, her hands gently touching the old lady’s shoulders, “Madam, you can’t measure your

relationship with him with these standards. Times have changed, and people’s perceptions have changed. He also

cares a great burden”

“I know he had his reasons I can understand, but I’ve been understanding him my entire life. When has he ever

compromised for me? If I continue to understand him, I don’t know what irreparable things will happen.”

“But Madam

“No more Hannah, my mind is made up.”

Hannah was helpless, finally letting out a sigh, shaking her head in resignation.

Damon hung up the phone, and Chloe, who was sitting on the sofa with her phone in hand, looked up. Even though

she was looking down, Damon could still see that her usually smooth forehead was now creased with worry, her

elegant eyebrows were pressed down, her face was tight, and her whole aura was clearly off

She was upset, more accurately, she was angry.

“What’s wrong?” He asked softly as he approached her.

Chloe slowly looked up, her delicate features now covered in a dark shadow

Damon’s eyebrows slightly furrowed, his gaze slowly moving to the phone in her hand. But Chloe coldly opened

Twitter, typed a message that simply read – Just wait.]

After that, she put away her phone, and slowly stood up, her icy face filled with restrained anger

“Damon, let’s go back to P City.”

Damon didn’t ask further, he just nodded, “Alright.”

Nathan and Kane rushed out, heard what Chloe said and asked what was wrong, but Chloe’s expression was so

terrifying, they didn’t get a response.

They practically left the convention center and headed straight to the airport

Nate had already received orders and arranged everything. It was only after they boarded the plane that Nathan

and the others found out what had really angered Chloe

The current trending topic online was now ‘Just wait Clicking in, they found that it was a tweet from Chloe just a

while ago

Just two words, but in less than half an hour, there were already tens of thousands of comments

[Yo, who is she telling to wait?]

She must have seen someone slandering her pretty boy online She’s probably coming back for revenge, right?|

[You’re talking nonsense! She’s already cheated on the pretty boy herself if she wants to settle accounts, the first

person she should find is herself |

[Watch your mouth You’re pushing people to suicide Aren’t you afraid of criminal responsibility?|

[Who would believe that childish trick? They say the police are involved, but there’s still no official announcement.

Only idiots believe that!

You are unbelievable. Since warnings won’t stop you, then wait for your punishment People like you are the same as

murderers, and you should be shot]

Following these comments to the root of the incident, they saw the unsightly words that people were using to

ndicule and slander Damon online. Even worse, they had driven a fan who stood up for Damon and Chloe to the

brink of suicide

Kane kicked the seat in front of him in anger

“Damn! These people deserve to diel

11:50

Anyone who defended Damon was labeled as gigolo or prostitute by those people, forced into a comer, with no

chance to deny the allegations.

They had a clear “You’re guilty because I say you are, and I won’t listen to your explanations” attitude, which was

infuriating

Nathan and Kane never cared about these things, because they felt there were more interesting things to do

They thought that arguing with those brainless idiots was lowering oneself, so why bother with a bunch of jerks

But now, seeing these comments, they were easily provoked into anger

When did public opinion online become like this? They found it baffling How many people were crushed by these

comments online?

Depression, suicide, these phenomena were rampant And now it was happening in their own circle Looking at these

comments from a personal perspective, how could anyone endure it?

Nathan was also furious. “Damn it. I’ll find these people and make them pay”

Nate chimed in from the side. We’re already on it

It was past nine in the evening now and their flight was set to touch down in P City around eleven

Chloe remained silent, slumped in her seat the entire time. Damon tilted her chin up to meet his gaze, his dark eyes

bore into hers

“We’ll sort things out Don’t worry about it now”

Chloe closed her eyes briefly, and when she opened them again, they were still tinged with red.

They don’t deserve forgiveness Those hiding behind their screens, they re murderers.”

Her body was shaking subtly, and her defiant eyes gradually filled with tears. Her current state was worse than

when she was the one being victimized by cyberbullying

After all, a life was almost lost And knowing the pain firsthand was what made her so emotional.

Damon rested his forehead against hers, gently stroking her back “Yes, they’re murderers, and they will pay for

what they’ve done

Thanks to Damon’s soothing words, Chloe felt a little better. She buried her face in his chest and stayed silent

Everyone around her kept quiet too, careful not to say anything that might upset her further

The two-hour flight passed with Chloe dozing off a bit under Damon’s comforting presence. While she rested, some

content from the Global Economic Summit

was posted online

[Shocking! The head of Obsidian is –]
