Chapter 1318
Facing all the chatter, Jacob was fuming, his veins on his forehead almost popping out. After a moment, he looked at Katie and suddenly burst into laughter. “Beautiful? We’ll see if that beauty lasts until the end of the wedding, shall we?”
Hearing this, Miles immediately furrowed his brows, turning to look at Jacob, and asked coldly, “What do you mean by that?”
Chloe raised an eyebrow, her flute suddenly stopping and tapping on the edge of the runway.
Katie, however, was startled.
Miles quickly turned his gaze back on her, “What’s wrong, Katie?” The sound of his anxious yet gentle voice made Beverly, who was in Jacob’s arms, space out for a moment. So Miles could also be this gentle and worried for another woman.
Nobody was sure about what happened to Katie. They wanted to see, but Katie covered her face and hid it in Miles‘ chest.
“What happened?”
“I don’t know, why is she covering her face?”
“What did Mr. Jacob mean by ‘lasting through the whole wedding‘?”
Seeing people starting to question, the smile on Jacob’s face became even more apparent.
Meanwhile, Chloe retrieved her flute and coldly said to the host, “Let’s call it a day, I believe the result is clear. It’s time to announce it, isn’t it?”
The host had a sudden realization and turned his gaze towards Jacob, who glanced at him and smiled.
The host already had the total score from Jacob as the previous contestant.
Seeing Jacob’s confident look, the host decided to announce the score honestly.
“The score for our previous contestant, Mr. Jacob, is out. The scores given by the five judges are 9.5, 9.5, 9.6, 9.6, and 9.6. The total score from cur one hundred public judges is 45. The total score is 92.8! Currently, Mr. Jacob is leading!”
Facing these results, everyone’s reaction was pretty cold, aside from the audience, Beverly’s family and the Baines family. Because in their hearts, the real champion was no longer Jacob.
Such a cold reaction made Jacob feel a chill in his heart. A champion not being cheered for was not what he had imagined. What’s more, today was his third consecutive championship! What was going on with this?
“Next up, the scores for Miles. The scores given by the five judges are, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10..
Standing on the side, watching the judges holding up their cards, the host’s voice was getting softer and softer.
The judges all gave full scores, and the reactions from the hundred public judges were clearly more inclined towards Miles‘ work.
So this year’s champion…
Cold sweat started.to appear on the host’s face. He had done so much to please Jacob in the past! He even risked being fired to favor Mr. Jacob in today’s competition. If Jacob didn’t become the champion, wouldn’t his future be over? The host shivered at the thought.
“Now for the combined scores from one hundred audiences-
“Wait a minute.”
Jacob successfully interrupted the host.
Everyone looked at Jacob, puzzled.
”
Jacob pushed Beverly out of his arms, walked over to Miles, looked at Katie in his arms, and wore a sarcastic smile on his face. “Miss Katie, what happened to you?”
Katie hid in Miles‘ arms, blocking Jacob’s view with her hand, and whispered, “Nothing, I just felt a bit off suddenly.”
Jacob smirked, “Where did you not feel well?”
Katie shook her head, “It has nothing to do with you, no need to worry about it.”
Jacob’s face suddenly turned cold, his voice even colder. “How can it not be related to me? Miss Katie, this directly involves the honor of this competition and the atmosphere of the entire makeup circle.”
Chloe frowned and said coldly, Mr. Jacob, you’re being a bit too much. The model just feels a bit unwell, what does that have to do with the society? Strictly speaking, Katie is an outsider, just here to be a model for the competition, how can she influence the society?”
“Feeling unwell?” Jacob sneered.
Chloe stared at him coldly, “I believe Miss Katie’s car accident incident, Mr. Jacob, you should be clearer than anyone else.”
Clearer than anyone else? Everyone caught this key point and suddenly turned their curious and probing gazes on Jacob.
Miles and Jacob were the two direct competitors, so this statement easily made them think of some underlying interests. If Miles‘ model had an accident and couldn’t participate in the competition, then the beneficiary would undoubtedly be Jacob.
Jacob’s face turned cold. “Ms. Summers, your words are too suggestive. Why would I know more than anyone else if Miss Katie had a car accident?”
“Then do you object to me saying that Miss Katie is feeling unwell now because of the car accident?”
Jacob scoffed, “If it’s somewhere else, I wouldn’t object. But what if it’s her face?”
Chloe squinted her eyes. “What are you trying to say?”
Jacob snorted, walked two steps forward, and looked directly at the judges‘ table. “As a makeup artist, you must know your client’s skin like the back of your hand. In other words, the management of the client’s skin should be within the makeup artist’s responsibilities. Looking at Miss Katie, I suspect there’s a problem with the makeup products Miles used!”
As soon as Jacob’s words fell, the whole venue boiled over.
“Ah, there’s a problem with the makeup products? Did they use substandard products?”
“This could ruin someone’s face, you know!”
“Oh my God, I’ve been there. I bought fake makeup products and almost permanently disfigured my face!”
Hearing this, Katie buried her face deeper into Miles‘ chest. Jacob was even more sure of his thoughts, then he said, “Miss Katie, is the place where you feel uncomfortable on your face?”
Katie shook her head in Miles‘ arms, saying, “Nah, nothing feels off about my face!”
“If there’s nothing wrong with your face, then why don’t you let us have a look?”
Katie didn’t say another word.
Jacob even went as far as saying to the judges‘ table, “Ladies and gents, I’ve got a hunch that Miles used some crappy makeup on the model. I bet it’s got too much mercury in it and that’s why her face is showing signs of allergies and even decay. I hope you guys can look into this thoroughly.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride
J’ai beaucoup aimé lire ce livre et j’aurais adoré connaître la fin. Merci beaucoup à l’auteur. Je sais que ce n’est pas parfait mais je suis consciente que c’est un livre que je lis gratuitement. Les publicités qui y sont présentées sont intéressantes et m’ont aidée à faire quelques achats. J’aimerais savoir quoi faire pour continuer la lecture de ce livre. D’avance merci....
Can't understand it, the translation is poor...
Lame translation....
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...
These typos are so annoying..can't even understand a single word...
Some chapters are missing and some of them are repeated..it feels like story takes a jump because of it...
I really like the book but there are a lot of typos which is making it even more difficult to read and stay engaged. Author please do some edits....
Best story ever...
I've been waiting for the wedding of Chloe and Damon until the ending of this novel their wedding doesn't happen at all!......
