The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1613

As for all the online rumors, Chloe chose to turn a blind eye, offering no explanations. Occasionally, when she did

venture to the office, she would invariably be ambushed by a gaggle of journalists. Their questions were always

about the online rumors, doggedly pressing Chloe for an explanation

“Is it true that you’ve ceased promoting your latest series? Have you decided to give up on it?”

“And what about the embroidery designs? Do you really have no intention of defending yourself?”

“Do you think that just because people are dead, there’s no one left to challenge you?”

Surrounded by her bodyguards. Chloe distilled the journalists‘ key points and responded with an air of

indifference.c2

“Of course, the series will continue. As for the embroidery designs, I’ve made it clear- they are the work of

Elizabeth. I see no need to defend myself. And as for the ‘dead can’t argue comment.”

Chloe paused, her gaze easily landing on the journalist who had made the remark. Her icy, piercing stare caused

the journalist to break out in a cold sweat

“You must think twice before you speak. You’ll pay for what you said today.” Having said this, she slowly withdrew

her gaze, her eyes devoid of anything but coldness.

“Mind your words, remember your professional ethics, and do your job properly. Don’t accidentally lose your work

and then realize what regret truly means

The journalists pursed their lips, wearing expressions of discontent. “Are you threatening us? Using your power to

shut us up?”

“It’s not a threat It’s advice. And Chloe spoke with an expressionless face, then raised an eyebrow and subtly curled

her lips. “Power is indeed a wonderful thing. That’s why you have to think carefully before you provoke someone

who is much more powerful than you.”

The journalists faces immediately turned a shade paler.

Chloe was the kind of person who wasn’t afraid to speak her mind. Everyone understood the reality of the situation.

Some tactics might be frowned upon, but they were a fact of life. Money and power were indeed wonderful things.

Everyone who claimed that money couldn’t buy everything in the world knew that without money, they couldn’t buy

anything at all. Everyone hated the abuse of power, but only because they didn’t have power themselves

If you can’t handle it, don’t provoke it Why took the bull by the horns?

When had Chloe ever backed down, and when had she ever been a nice person?

Chloe let out a cold laugh at their reaction and entered the office.

Her words were like a double–edged sword – they cut deep but were undeniably true. The more irrefutable her

arguments were, the more enraged they became

Power was a wonderful thing. This phrase had been used far too often lately. So much so that Robin found himself

obsessing over it, losing his appetite and sleep.

Everyone had an obsession that they couldn’t change. His was to gain complete control and ownership of the

Harper family business, an ambition hed held for a lifetime

Before, he had kept this desire hidden. But now, sitting in this position, he found it increasingly difficult to suppress

his growing desire for power

The next day, Chloe had just signed for a batch of snacks she’d ordered online. With Damon out, she really let

herself go. At that moment, she was enthusiastically unpacking her snacks, checking the expiration dates and

safety certifications. She had just opened a bag of spicy snacks when Yasmine called

Chloe sighed, swallowed her saliva, and reluctantly put down the snack bag to pick up her phone. “Hello”

Before she could finish. Yasmine’s icy voice cut her off. “I’ve heard that Robin is planning to seize Royce’s shares in

the Harper Group board meeting in two days‘

Chloe, who had been half–listening to the phone call while trying to reach for the snacks, paused at Yasmine’s

words. A smile slowly spread across her lips as she picked up the snack bag and bit into a piece

“Really?” she said, looking at the bag in her hand “Isn’t it fascinating how insatiable people’s desires can be?”

So much so that even the most shrewd individuals couldn’t help but reveal their weaknesses

*That’s what makes them so dangerous,” Yasinine said flatly

Chloe shook her head. It’s their desires that allow us to find the perfect solution

There was silence on the other end of the line before Yasmine spoke again “Damon might already have a plan. Why

are you getting involved?”

“I’m not just helping him. My series needs publicity, and there’s also my mother–in–law’s wishes…”

“What mother–in–law? Who agreed to let you marry him?*

Chloe: “Mom, I’m already pregnant.”

“And what does that have to do with anything? I can raise the children. It’s not like I can’t afford them.”

Chloe took a bite of her tofu snack. “But I want to raise them with Damon”

Yasmine’s voice dropped a few degrees colder. “What, so when the kids are born, I won’t get a chance to see

them?”

“You…” Chloe was taken aback. Were they already fighting for custody before the babies were even born?

“You can raise them with us.”

Yasmine scoffed. “Don’t think for a moment that using the babies will make me agree to the two of you being

together. I won’t fall for it.”

Chloe rubbed her temples. “But we’ve already…”

“Just because people get married doesn’t mean they can’t get divorced.”

“Why would we divorce?”

“Why” If your garden was ruined by a pig, would you like the pig?”

Chloe sighed Could a mother be this harsh? “But I can’t just stay untouched forever, right? What will you do when

I’m rotten and end up by your

side?”

Being ruined by a “pig” like Damon, Chloe was actually pretty grateful

“You when did you become so shameless! Yasmine couldn’t help but shout at her.

Chloe moved her phone a few inches away from her ear. Recently, she had been scolded by her own mother more

and more frequently. Almost every other day, she would receive a lecture

After finishing her snack, Chloe chuckled softly, “Only with you.”

“Hmm” Yasmine huffed. “Who are you trying to fool Chloe, it’s not mealtime yet. What are you eating?”

Chloe paused. “Eating lunch”

“I heard the rustling of plastic.”

Chloe discreetly tossed the plastic bag into the trash can. “I was just changing the trash bag”

“Hmm. Yasmine scoffed, “I’m hanging up.”

Chloe let out a sigh of relief, grateful that she had dodged a bullet. With no one around to supervise, Chloe

sprawled out on the couch, clutching a

bag of chips, engrossed in a movie.

Just as she was reveling in the bliss of her solitude, an hour later, Yasmine unexpectedly stormed in, catching her

red–handed.
