The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1239

Rose arched an eyebrow, not caring. “What’s the big deal? Grannie bought this specially for me!”

As she spoke, Chloe lowered her head and popped a piece of orange into her mouth. Rose’s munching stopped

mid–bite, her gaze fixed on Chloe.

*Overeating anything isn’t good, you need to maintain a balanced diet.” Chloe said this, then popped half of the

orange into her mouth.

Rose rolled her eyes at Elizabeth, brow slightly raised. “Is the orange sweet?”

Chloe glanced at the orange in her hand, indifferent. “It’s alright.”

Rose sat up, her gaze switching from Chloe’s face to Elizabeth’s. She said lightly, “Guess your plan flopped.”

Elizabeth frowned, watching as Chloe devoured the orange. Chloe’s chewing slowed down as she caught Rose’s

words and Elizabeth’s expression. She looked at the orange in her hand, a gift from her grandma…

“Hah…” Chloe chuckled lightly, finishing the last piece of the orange.

“What’s so funny?” Elizabeth was a bit upset. Her failed plan had become a laughingstock. How embarrassing!

Chloe bent over to pick up another orange, giving it a squeeze, “This trick of Granny Alyssa’s has been overused.

She even pulled it on Damon’s assistant, Nate.” The implication was that Chloe had been on the receiving end of

this trick before.

Elizabeth was immensely disappointed. So, Chloe had known from the start that she was being pranked, thus her

calm demeanor was all an act. “Not fun at all.” Chloe laughed again, gripping the orange in her hand before

heading upstairs to rest.

“Ugh, so mean! You knew we were pranking you, and you still took my orange!” Rose grumbled to Chloe’s

retreating back, reaching for another orange, but remembering Chloe’s words, she held back.

Upstairs, after finishing the orange and getting ready for bed, Miles‘ video call came through. Chloe rolled her eyes

slightly, then picked up the call. Her hair, which was typically tied up, was now a little untidy because she was

dressed in comfy home clothing. Her face was naked and she appeared tired.

Used to her strong persona and seeing her like this was a bit odd for Miles. “Ms. Chloe.”

“Mhm. How’s the competition prep going?”

Miles nødded. “It’s good. I think I’m in a good state.”

“That’s good.” Chloe nodded, pulling back the covers and leaning against the headboard. “Did you need

something?”

“Yeah, I wanted to check on your skin condition. Tomorrow is a big day, and I promised to make you the most

beautiful bride.”

Chloe chuckled lightly, “It’s just an engagement, not quite a bride yet, am I?”

“Regardless, you’re the bride.” Miles rare smile made an appearance. “Your and Mr. Harper’s outfits have been

delivered directly to the hotel by Katie. We’ll be waiting for you in the hotel’s makeup room in the afternoon. Best of

luck.”

“Thank you.”

Just as she was about to end the call, Chloe stopped Miles. “I know I shouldn’t put too much pressure on you, but

Miles, you must win the competition.” Miles paused, then nodded. “I will.”

Becky was livid all the way to the villa Rhys had bought in P City.

“I’m so pissed!” As soon as she entered, Becky started ranting, tearing at her clothes.

“My little princess, what’s got you so worked up? What on earth are you doing?”

Rhys was totally caught off guard by Becky’s sudden return home. She was giving him a headache.

“How on earth has RM’s reputation here gone so downhill? The moment I got off the plane, people started pointing

fingers at me! Their looks were as if they wanted to pelt rotten eggs at me! I remember RM used to be so popular

here! Why has it changed now!?”

Even though their performance at the fashion week wasn’t outstanding, there wasn’t anything majorly wrong with

the clothes. In domestic fashion magazines, there were still plenty of people chasing after RM! Why did their

reputation take such a hit once they left Y Country?

Rhys was unmoved by her complaints. He knew Becky was just venting because of the ill–fitting clothes. “What did

you come here for?”

On hearing this, she said, “What’s going on with you? Why are you suddenly marrying a woman? Don’t you know

you already have a wife at home? Look at the mess you’ve made, people in the circle are laughing their asses off!”

Rhys frowned. “You wouldn’t understand! Let them laugh, once I really get her, they won’t be laughing anymore.

She is the most beautiful woman in the world!” Elegant, beautiful, stylish, smart, and fiery–tempered, even the way

she fights is enchanting.

“What? The most beautiful? Ha…”

What a woman could least tolerate was a man praising another woman as beautiful, especially calling her the most

beautiful in the world, please….

“Have you lost your mind? The news reports you being thrown out of the company, and you think that’s something

to be proud of?”

Rhys‘ face darkened a bit clearly growing impatient. “What about you, what are you doing here?”

Becky’s expression suddenly turned serious. “I heard that the son of the Harper Group is getting married, is that

true?”

Phys blinked, his face suddenly changing. “Yup, he’s getting engaged.”

Becky sheked, “What? The CEO? Damon?”

“Yes yes, yes!” So annoying

“Damn it! When did this happen, and with which woman?!”

“Tomorrow. I’m not sure who the brida is.”

“You don’t know who the bride is? My God, what’s going on? Mr. Harper is getting engaged, such a big event, and

it’s not public? Why?! He’s… He’d got a woman? He was getting married? And he’s getting married so low–key?”

Rhys wasn’t surprised one bit. “He’s always been a low key guy, as you well know. I heard about his engagement

from Robin! And, if word of his engagement spread around, can you imagine… how chaotic this little town, the P

City, would become?”

Becky blinked, then it dawned on her.

That made sense.

The Harper family’s operations spanned globally. Even if only one leader from each subsidiary attended, coupled

with all their partners and so on, P City would likely become extremely busy. And then thinking about all those gifts.

Just unwrapping them would take days. He kept a low profile, and naturally, he had his

reasons.

“But there’s another possibility. Rhys suddenly said, tooking serious

“What possibility?”
