Chapter 1179
Addie frowned, “Don’t sweat it. They’re probably just temporarily infatuated with Ms. Summers.”
“But even if they’re just temporarily infatuated with Ms. Summers, it shows that she’s really attractive.”
“Hmph! What’s so attractive about such a cold–hearted woman?” After saying this, Addie packed up the first–aid kit. “Wait here for a bit, I’ll find you some clothes.”
When it was time for lunch, Wendy came downstairs. The busy staff’s eyes turned a bit strange at the sight of Wendy. Some even frowned, and their attitude towards Wendy turned cold.
It wasn’t until Wendy was led to the dining room by Addie that a few of the staff began to chat.
Is Wendy wearing Damon’s clothes?”
“Exactly! I’ve seen Damon wearing it a few times, it’s one of his most worn pieces.”
“How did it end up on her?“,
“Wendy not only took Damon’s room, but she’s also wearing his clothes. Has she no shame?”
“I’ve seen it all now, there really are such shameless people in this world.”
Their whispers reached Wendy and Addie’s ears, causing Addie’s face to turn green.-
These gossipy servants! I’ll show them!”
After saying this, Addie left Wendy.
“Addie…”
Wendy watched her retreating figure, although she was trying to stop her, she–didn’t actually pull her back.
“Watch your mouths, Wendy is our guest! If there’s any more disrespect towards her, I will make you leave at once! The Harper family can’t tolerate such impolite people!”
After Addie finished, the staff all lowered their heads, keeping their mouths shut. From the first day Addie was transferred from Hong Kong, she had been calling the shots here, giving them a show of strength right from the start.
The wages here were high, and even if they found other normal jobs, it wouldn’t match half of what they earned here, so they could only swallow their anger at Addie’s reprimanding.
At this time, Wendy came over, gently holding onto Addie’s arm. “Addie, don’t be like this, they haven’t done anything to me, and they’ve been helping to take care of me. Don’t scare them anymore. They’re having a hard time too…”
Addie pursed her lips slightly, contemplated for a moment, then glared at them. “See that? Ms. Wendy is so considerate of you. She’s the real victim here, she should have been treated better when she came back home! Now she has to recover from her injuries here, endure your ostracism and ridicule, and still speak up for you. How could you do that?
“What did Chloe give you that made you so loyal to her? I advise you to open your eyes and see clearly! If you can accept Chloe, you should accept Wendy
even more.”
The servants looked at each other, feeling that she was making sense, but something felt off.”
At this time, Marina rushed over from behind hearing the commotion, seeing Addie scolding people, she immediately stepped forward. “Addie, Ms. Alonso, Presley is urging you to eat.”
Addie glared at them once more, then glanced at Marina. “Marina, these people were under your charge before. They probably hold some resentment towards me. Ms. Wendy is our most important guest, and she may even be the future mistress of our house. Don’t let your personal feelings involve the other servants!”
“What future mistress. Chloe has already…”
One of the servants couldn’t stand Addie’s two–faced behavior and wanted to speak out, but was promptly stopped by Marina.
“Marina!”
Marina signaled to the servant, who stomped her foot and lowered her head, no longer speaking.
Seeing this, Addie snorted in mockery, “Looks like Marina still holds the most authority. Just one word–from her and they all quiet down.”
Marina turned to Addie, ‘Addie, that’s not authority. They may be young, but they have their own thoughts. They’ve done their jobs and served who they needed to serve; we can’t overstep and restrict them too much.
“We’re all doing our best in this house, I just have more experience and am older. At most I’m like an elder to them. When they make mistakes, I correct them, and when they haven’t, I prevent them from making mistakes. In the end, I’m the same as them, just a servant. Whether they listen or not depends on their own judgment of right and wrong.
“Like all the things you just said, you’re simply trying to tell them that Ms. Wendy is more respectable and worth following than Ms. Chloe. Regardless of who they choose, will their jobs won’t change?”

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...
