"I can take care of her, you should mind your own business. If you lose your spot at the Harper Group because of Chloe, I will feel guilty, and so will she."
As expected, Chloe's body tensed slightly upon hearing Yasmine's indifferent words.
If it was truly because of her that Presley stripped Damon of his power in the company, then Chloe would indeed be responsible.
"You can't use that as an excuse..."
"You got your own thing going on, and we got ours. I made it clear at the engagement party, the Alonso family will be Chloe's wedding gift. Even if you don't care about your position in the Harper family, without this gift, the wedding can't take place."
"The words I've spoken won't be taken back. There were so many people present at the time, including the media! I don't have the luxury of turning back, and you two won't easily get together. It's not just up to you two, otherwise, there wouldn't be so much emotional distress in this world.”
After Yasmine finished, Damon calmly spoke, "Done talking?"
Yasmine looked at him coldly.
Damon paused, then pulled Chloe's hand over, "If you're done, then we should leave."
Yasmine narrowed her eyes and warned, "Don't get too cocky."
Damon smiled and replied, "Didn't you say you're going to use the Alonso family as a wedding gift? Can't handle it?"
Yasmine gritted her teeth, staring at Damon with a chill in her eyes, feeling an impulse to give him a piece of her mind.
"What do you think?"
"I trust in your abilities." Damon said dismissively, "So Chloe will eventually become my wife. I'm just exercising my rights ahead of time, no big deal. I hope you can get the Alonso family ASAP, need any help?"
Faced with Damon's words, Yasmine was truly annoyed, she hadn't had the urge to hit someone in years, but this man was just so punchable.
"I don't need your help! Get out of my sight! I don't want to see you!"
Damon raised an eyebrow, his tone tinged with amusement, "Keep it up, Yasmine."
"Get lost!" Yasmine's eyes twitched fiercely.
Chloe was a bit scared; she rarely saw Yasmine this angry.
"You just pissed off my mom." Chloe thought it was necessary to remind him. After all, Yasmine was her mother, how could he treat her like this?
Damon leaned down and kissed Chloe's forehead lightly, "I'm sorry about this, but no one can stop us from being together, right? Once this is over, I'll apologize to her."
Chloe was helpless.
Damon had already apologized and made his stance clear. Continuing to speak further would seem overly sensitive.
For the next few days, the topic of Wendy was widely discussed by everyone. All kinds of things about her were dug up and discussed one by one, constantly trending. All the netizens were waiting for Wendy to make a statement, but after a long wait, there was still no response from Wendy.
"What's the deal? The company is in ruins, and she won't come out to fix it? Has she given up?"
"The Alonso family is powerful; an entertainment company is nothing for them. Don't worry, there are many other companies waiting for her to take over."
"But she's really lacking courage, right? Hiding when there's a problem? What a coward!"
Wendy, who was hiding at home, was tormented every day. She knew there were many people attacking her online, and she constantly reminded herself not to look, but she couldn't help it.
Every time she looked, she would get angry. She smashed things in the room one after another, and even many of the household staff resigned due to her explosive temper.
This time, seeing someone call her weak and incompetent touched another sore spot, and Wendy once again shattered the decorations in the room into pieces. The housekeepers heard the noise, they were used to it and kept their distance, their faces full of disdain for Ms. Wendy.
"Look, she's at it again."
"She's really a bitter person; all she knows is to vent her anger on others."
"She doesn't have much ability, and she just breaks things when she's angry. Those people online didn't say anything wrong."
After hearing these sounds a few times, Grace was also a little bit heartbroken. After all, the decorations that were being smashed in Wendy's room were worth quite a bit of money, and this continuous cycle of destruction was costing a fortune.
Moreover, Grace was getting fed up at this point.
Cole had gone abroad for business and hadn't called her once. Aside from some disappointment, she felt more relieved. Because once he asked about Wendy, she wouldn't know what to say.
With such a big problem, she could only hope that Cole would be in a better mood when he came back because of a successful deal, and be less angry with Wendy.
But now, Grace couldn't let Wendy continue to destroy things.
"Can you stop?" Grace burst into Wendy's room angrily, "I told you to come home and reflect, not to throw tantrums here."
Wendy's room was a mess. Hearing Grace's words, she sat on the sofa, gasping for breath, her face pale.
Grace glared at Wendy angrily, "I've told you so many times, you're now the lady of the Alonso family. Where did all the manners you learned go?! All you know is to sulk at home, can't you do something meaningful?!"
The failures in reality and all the mockery and sarcasm online made it impossible for Wendy to calm down completely.
"How can I continue to be calm when people are slandering me like this? I wish everything could start over. I wish to salvage everything, but is it possible now?"
"What's there you can't do? Do you think any of those people who are attacking you online can hold a candle to you? They're just a bunch of nobodies who can't get the public's approval. They've got no pedigree, no background, and no money. No matter how much they talk, they're just green with envy about your birth and family. They're simply a pack of people who get a kick out of watching others suffer. The more you care about them, the more they'll provoke you. Can't you see that?”
“Now there are some follow-up issues with Infinity Media that need sorting out. I've already got a lawyer on it, but you need to get your act together. The company might not be salvageable, but you need to wriggle out of this whole mess. You shouldn't just be sitting at home brooding and blowing your top at the slightest problem. You need to know how to play to your strengths, got it?"

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...
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...
