The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1126

Chapter 1126 

Elizabeth frowned slightly, a trace of confusion on her face. She exchanged a glance with Chloe next to her, both of them having suspicions about this “who“. 

She shot Damon with an unhappy look. After all, it was a girl who got beaten up and was even spitting blood, this…. 

“Who did you hit?!” 

Seeing Damon didn’t answer immediately, Presley’s eyes widened. He banged his fist on the stair railing, his voice booming with authority. 

Damon coldly glanced at Nathan, the troublemaker. Nathan awkwardly chuckled and took a step back, cradling his cheek. “I didn’t mean to.” 

Damon averted his gaze, turned to Presley, and uttered nonchalantly, “Wendy.” 

Chloe’s eyes fluttered, her red lips firmly pressed together. 

“You!” Presley was so furious that his mustache quivered, “Why did you hit her?” 

“I wouldn’t hit her without a reason.” 

“You can’t hit her even if you have a reason!” 

Patience was wearing thin in Damon’s eyes, and he retorted in a low voice, “I hit her, that’s it. There are no ifs or buts!” 

Chloe’s lips curled into a small smile, but she quickly lowered her head to hide it. 

Elizabeth shot her a glance, leaning closer to whisper, “So, how about it? Your husband is quite the hunk, right?” 

Chloe’s face reddened slightly, her lips curling up again. 

Elizabeth continued, “But this hunkiness comes at a price. Make sure you make it up to him tonight.” 

Presley was fuming, “You… you’re such a fool!” 

Damon’s face was cold and impassive. 

Presley knew that despite his cool exterior, Damon was proud and stubborn. He could easily brush off huge issues if he was willing, but he couldn’t tolerate even the smallest things if he wasn’t. Everything depended on his mood, but mostly, he was indifferent, let alone resorting to violence. Now, he had hit a girl, and not just any girl, but Wendy, who had grown up with them. 

“She’s been pampered since she was a kid. Who would dare to hit her? Aren’t you afraid the Alonso family will turn their backs on you?” 

Chloe’s face darkened suddenly as if realizing what price–Elizabeth had been referring to. That was quite a big price indeed! But… um, could she just compensate by making up to him tonight? If only it was that simple.. 

Damon spoke with an icy demeanor, “Do you think I am so weak that I can’t stand without the Alonso family?” 

With a single sentence, his boundless confidence was unquestionably revealed. 

Chloe wore a faint smile, but it was genuinely calm. Her eyes, usually as brilliant as the stars, had now mellowed down, tranquil, and serene. 

Wendy had always looked down on her, which was not exactly wrong. If she hadn’t shown up, they probably wouldn’t have to worry about the relationship between the Alonso and Harper families. 

Damon didn’t explain why he attacked Wendy, but she could guess that most of it probably had something to do with her. 

Wendy didn’t hate the Harper family; the only one she probably resented was Chloe. If she pushed the Alonso family to the limit, the only one affected would be Damon. 

Her smile faded into deep thought. Seeing her serious expression, Damon walked over to Elizabeth, pulling her into his arms. 

Chloe didn’t notice and bumped into his solid chest, a twinge of pain spreading across her forehead. 

“Hey, slow down…” Elizabeth saw Damon’s abrupt movement and couldn’t help but chime in. 

“What are you thinking about?” His low voice was noticeably menacing. Chloe looked up at him, his handsome face was looking down at her with furrowed brows and a stern expression. 

He seldom looked at her with such cold eyes. 

“I…” Chloe closed her mouth, at a loss for words. Her thoughts were complex, and she didn’t know how to explain them at the moment. 

Damon watched her quietly, his eyes dark and bottomless, flowing with cold, sharp wisdom, his hawk–like gaze locked onto Chloe. 

His intelligence allowed him to see through people with ease. He held her waist tightly as if trying to meld her into his body. 

“Damon…” she called his name softly, the somber aura radiating off him making her fearful. 

“This has nothing to do with you. Don’t put the blame on yourself! Even without you, I wouldn’t have any close contact with the Alonso family. As long as I don’t marry Wendy, the Alonso family will keep flaunting their lineage in front of me.” 

Chloe understood this was a threat. How could someone like Damon ever yield? 

She was just considering some extreme situations. Wendy’s feelings for Damon had reached a point of obsessive infatuation. Such a person, when pushed to the limit, might go all in. If she couldn’t have him, no one else would either.
