The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1368

Chapter 1368 

Elizabeth was taken aback too, she sat there looking stunned for the longest time, her face as pale as a sheet, she even forgot to breathe. 

Royce quickly got up and pulled Elizabeth into his arms. Feeling the familiar embrace, Elizabeth slowly regained her composure. Her gaze slowly fell on Presley, who was in a fit of rage. 

The old man was puffing his chest and his breath was heavy. He pointed at Elizabeth, stammering, “The thing I regret the most, is allowing your marriage with Royce back then! Now the whole Harper family can’t catch a break! Anyway, I called you guys back today to discuss Damon and Wendy’s wedding date! The marriage is settled already. They must be together! If you guys don’t set a date, I’ll do it myself. And no one can change this decision! James! Go and announce to the media, say that Mr. Harper of the Harper Group and Ms. Wendy are getting hitched!” 

“Yes, I’m on it!” James had never seen Presley this mad! As soon as Presley finished speaking, James forced himself to react as quickly as possible to handle this issue! 

Elizabeth stood up, looking at the smashed dining table, she suddenly pushed all the plates onto the floor! 

Everyone was shocked at the scene. 

“So they’re getting married, huh? Fine, you like making a mess, right? I want to see when the Harper family’s dining table will ever stay clean! If you say there’s no peace, then let the Harper family continue to live in chaos!” 

Having said that, Elizabeth once again swept all the remaining plates on the table onto the floor, staring at Presley, who was beet red, and said sharply, “Look at yourself now, how pathetic! The Harper Group has to rely on the Alonso family for steady growth? What a disgrace! If it were me, I’d rather destroy the company than be someone else’s follower! And what’s so great about the Alonso family that you’re tailing them like a lost puppy, forsaking your dignity?!” 

“You! You!” For the first time in his life, Presley was at a loss for words. He could only point at Elizabeth, too angry to speak.. 

Elizabeth then turned to Wendy, who was sitting opposite her and had turned pale from fright, “If you still want to marry into this family, then get ready for a rocky ride! You think you’re so important, that everyone should cater to you, orbit around you! Well, not me! Don’t think just because you’re marrying into the Harper family, you’re one of us. Trust me, I’ll make sure you’re worse off than a servant! 

“Let me tell you, Wendy. In my heart, Chloe is the only daughter–in–law I acknowledge! You think you can use the power of the Alonso family to suppress us, you’re dreaming! It’s hard to build a company, but easy to destroy one! The Harper family wants to rely on the Alonso family for stability, even at the cost of my son’s happiness. If that day comes, I’d rather jump off a building! Let everyone see how the Harper family drove me to death!” 

Wendy felt drained, her face pale, lips trembling. She was unable to utter a word. 

“Elizabeth, you’re too much!” Presley finally managed to say, he shakily stood up, raised his cane to hit Elizabeth, but halted midway. 

“I came back this time hoping to resolve some issues, but it seems unnecessary now. You guys do whatever you want.” Damon said. 

Damon calmly took the cane from his grandfather’s hand and tossed it aside. He glanced at Royce, said, “Take care of your wife,” then turned around and left the mansion. 

Damon’s departure finally put an end to the argument. However, his words left everyone puzzled. 

After her outburst, Elizabeth seemed exhausted, and collapsed into Royce’s arms. After a few seconds, she leaned on the edge of the table and forced herself up, looking at Royce, “Royce, what did Damon mean by that? Is he agreeing to marry Wendy?” 

Royce looked at her, “He’s your son. You know him best.” 

Elizabeth nodded. Sshe believed her son would never have anything to do with Wendy. 

She was now in tears, she glanced at the mess around her, and said to Royce, “I’m sorry, Royce, for all the trouble I’ve caused you, for rebelling against Presley. It’s me being ungrateful, immature, even unacceptable! The Harper family can’t tolerate me, and I don’t want to stay here either! Now that I know Damon won’t disappoint me, I’ll leave!” 

Royce’s expression became more grim, he tried to grab Elizabeth’s hand, but she dodged it. “Don’t touch me. When I say I’m leaving, I mean it and not with you. No matter how much I hate Presley, I can’t take away your responsibility and obligation as his son. Having you for all these years, I’m already satisfied.”. 

Elizabeth burst into tears. She knew that for many years, she had been causing trouble for Royce. He shouldn’t have had to choose between Presley and her, but he still protected her for nearly thirty years. 

Elizabeth once thought that the conflict with Presley was just a matter of time, but now it seemed, that was not the case. 

Presley, she was at her wits‘ end with him.
