The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1096

Chapter 1096 

The minute Dorthy heard about the confidentiality agreement and the hefty penalty for breaching it, she became instantly cautious. Still, deep down, she felt a sense of injustice for what Chloe was going through. Being insulted and physically attacked without any reason whatsoever, anyone would feel aggrieved. “But she just went off on people for no reason…” 

Rhoda gently pinched Dorthy’s arm, signaling her to keep quiet for now, then lifted her head and looked at Makenna with a smile, saying, “Makenna, there’s some merit to what she just said. You launched into a tirade without getting all the facts straight, which isn’t really fair, is it? Ms. Summers says she’s not a homewrecker. Could there be some misunderstanding?” 

The bystanders all nodded in agreement. “Yeah, what if she’s really not to blame?” 

“I don’t think she’s that type of person.” 

I also think we should get our facts straight before jumping to conclusions.” 

Makenna looked a bit annoyed. “A beautiful woman, hanging around my husband’s hotel room door, who else could it be?” 

Dorthy blinked. Was she being overlooked? “I was there at the time, too.” 

Makenna gave her a glance. “You’re not as pretty as her.” 

Dorthy felt a bit humiliated. 

“And, just because she says she isn’t, doesn’t mean she isn’t, right? If she were indeed the other woman and got caught, she’d definitely be trying to hide somewhere!” 

Chloe stood silently on the side, slightly turned away, sneaking a glance at Rhoda. Since she’d chosen to come forward, there was bound to be more drama. She was curious to see just how much Rhoda hated her. 

Rhoda was expressionless, thinking for a second before saying, “Well, since you don’t believe us, why don’t we ask Mr. Austin! I’m sure he won’t lie in front of you!” 

She looked up at the obese man in the black bathrobe, saying softly, “Mr. Austin, are you really unable to turn on the TV in your room?” 

The man looked up at Rhoda. Rhoda raised an eyebrow at him and smiled, and the man immediately answered, “Unable to turn on the TV? How many times have I been to this hotel? How could I possibly not know how to turn on the TV?” 

Chloe stood by, smiling, watching Rhoda, silently sneering. 

Hearing Austin’s answer, Rhoda glanced at Chloe, only to find Chloe sneering. The smile was small, but it was full of sarcasm, and even had an air of indifference, like a bystander enjoying the drama. 

That composed attitude shattered her confidence. Rhoda hated the feeling of being easily suppressed. She looked away and then said, “So, Mr. Austin, you and Ms. Chloe…” 

She stopped short, glanced at Chloe, and looking pained, asked, “Do you really have that kind of affair?” 

Austin looked at his stern wife, who was watching him closely, thinking about what would happen if she found out about him and her niece, including her family… 

He would definitely be punished by them! And if people found out, not only would he lose the thrill of cheating under his wife’s nose, but he would also be seen as a moral scandal and be mocked and blamed by everyone. 

The woman told him that she had arranged everything, and that there shouldn’t be any major problems. He was almost exposed by a waiter just now, but luckily she stopped it in time. So she seemed somewhat trustworthy. 

But now there were so many people around, and as a man, answering every question seemed somewhat undignified. Besides, after so long in the business world, he knew how to be tactful. 

“What do you mean? Why are you asking so many questions?! Stop making a scene, are you trying to embarrass us? Everybody, just go away!” 

He shooed people away as he spoke, pausing when he reached Chloe, then sighed, “Alright, you shouldn’t be here either. Just go!” 

He neither admitted nor denied, but his vague answer implicitly told everyone that the woman he had shared a room with was her. Whispers broke out around them, and the sneer on Chloe’s lips became more pronounced. 

Makenna scoffed, “Still not admitting it? You little tramp, your man has implied it now, do you think he could be mistaken about his own actions?!” 

These harsh words brought Chloe’s thoughts to a standstill. But she still pulled out her phone and dialed a number. The call was answered quickly, and Chloe’s voice was icy. 

‘Mr. Watson, I’m just calling to let you know, I’m not working as your hotel consultant anymore! Also, the hotel’s reputation might take a hit, but I’ll figure out a solution!” 

Upon hearing Chloe’s cold voice, Claud didn’t hesitate, saying simply, “Understood.” 

“Thank you.” 

Makenna was still cursing, her voice grating. Rhoda was trying to calm the woman down. Like, “Makenna, don’t get too worked up, Mr. Austin didn’t say who it was.”
