Chapter 1171
“Granny!” Upon seeing Alyssa, Wendy gave her a slight nod and a smile.
“Chloe, would you give me a hand and wheel me to my breakfast?” Alyssa said. Hannah vacated a spot for Chloe, motioning her to come over.
Chloe hesitated for a moment, then stepped up to the plate and pushed Alyssa into the dining room.
Wendy’s face was clearly still a bit awkward. Seeing this, Presley stood up and said, “Addie, help Wendy get to the dining room for breakfast.” “Okay!”
Watching Presley take the lead and leave, Addie helped Wendy up, whispering with a laugh. “Ms. Alonso, don’t worry. In this house, Presley’s word carries a lot of weight. He’ll look out for you, no more biting your tongue.”
A faint smile crossed Wendy’s face, “But this is still the Harper family, and my relationship with Ms. Summers is broken…
“She hasn’t even set a wedding date! This is a golden opportunity, if you play your cards right, I believe Damon will see your merits! Plus, with Presley favoring you, who knows what the future holds!”
Wendy gave a wry smile, agreeing silently. Her previous actions were beyond repair, so she could only be as pleasant as possible. She believed that as long as she kept a low profile, her presence would still be felt.
“Anyway, Ms. Alonso, just relax and make yourself at home! Don’t feel out of place, the servants, guards, drivers, and so forth, most of them were transferred from Hong Kong, and they seem to like you… We’d prefer if it were you who becomes the future Mrs. Harper…”
Addie’s words were cut short when she looked up to see Chloe standing at the doorway of the dining room, smiling at them. Startled, Addie flushed, wondering how many of her words Chloe heard, and felt a wave of embarrassment.
“Ms. Summers… what are you doing standing here instead of eating?”
“Do I need to report to you what I’m doing?”
After Chloe’said this, she realized it sounded familiar. It was something in the conversation of Addie and her on the phone the day before.
At the thought, she gave a slight smile, looking at Addie, and said, “Addie, do you know what betrayal means?”
Addie’s face turned beet red. “Ms. Summers, I may be a servant, but I deserve some respect. I’ve been with the Harper family for longer than you…” “You’re aware that you’re a servant in the Harper family,” Chloe said, staring at her. “But you seem to be more like Ms. Alonso’s kin.”
She paused, ignoring their awkward expressions, and laughed, “Has Ms. Alonso planted her own people in the Harper family?”
Hearing this, Wendy’s face turned ashen. She anxiously glanced at Presley, clearly flustered by Chloe’s suspicions.
“What the hell are you talking about?” She snapped at Chloe, her voice low. “Don’t speculate wildly and sow discord between our families. Our families have long–standing close ties, why would we do something like that? You don’t know anything, so shut up!”
Chloe squinted, sizing her up silently. This made Wendy uneasy. Wendy walked past her, heading straight for the dining room.
“Chloe, where’s Damon? Why isn’t he down yet?” Alyssa asked impatiently.
Chloe frowned, mentally noting Wendy’s reaction. “He was on the phone upstairs, might have some stuff to deal with. I’ll go check.”
Just as she finished speaking, Damon slowly descended the stairs.
He took her hand and used his long fingers to check her wound, making sure it wasn’t disturbed, before adjusting her garments. “Be careful not to strain yourself and worsen your injury.”
“Mmm.”
Chloe obediently nodded. Damon kissed her forehead and said, “We’ll head out after breakfast.”
“Hm?” Chloe raised an eyebrow, looking up at him, “Where to?”
“To our home, baby.”
Chloe felt a knot in her stomach. She remembered hearing the word cleaning when he was on the phone upstairs.
Was she going back to Greenfield Village?
So that’s the reason of his silence when he heard that Presley was bringing Wendy to the Harper family the day before.
Turns out, he had already decided to leave. To avoid her and Wendy meeting as much as possible.
But unfortunately for him, Presley was quicker.
Unsurprisingly, when Damon entered the dining room with Chloe and saw Wendy, his cold face grew even colder.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride
did it really end this way. can I have the rest of the book ending??...
So, all of them were basically forced into sexual acts by their partners the first time, then their partners wanted to seclude them from everyone. On top of that, all of are jealous of their own children. The only couple that seem to have it good were Azriel & Phoebe. This book was honestly quite sickening & there’s no way anyone should find this romantic...

Some chapters are missing and some of them are repeated..it feels like story takes a jump because of it...
