The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1391

Yulia was left open-mouthed as Damon was led away, turning to Chloe with a look of utter bewilderment. "Chloe, is Nathan really..."
Chloe's smiled slightly, "Don't tell me you're still in the dark about him being gay or not?"
Yulia's face instantly flushed red.
Gazing down the long hallway, watching as Damon and his brother's figures faded into nothingness, Chloe's smile also disappeared. She took a deep breath and walked back into the hospital room.
Presley's face darkened instantly at the sight of Chloe, "Get out."
"No one can stop me from coming in if I want to, and no one can kick me out if I don't want to leave. So, save your breath." Chloe's icy tone interrupted Presley, leaving him no dignity with only the two of them present.
Presley watched as she closed the door to the hospital room, his eyes narrowing slightly, "So, you sent Damon away to assassinate me?"
Chloe gave a faint smile, "You really have a vivid imagination."
She walked over to his bedside, looking down on him with a smug expression, "You should know Damon well. Trying to force him with this tactic, you know it’s impossible."
Presley snorted, staring at Chloe's sarcastic expression.
Chloe chuckled, "Trying to play me? You think because I love him, I should let him go?"
She finished speaking, perhaps finding it hilariously funny, and let out a soft laugh. "Is this your idea, or was it whispered in your ear by Ms. Wendy?"
Presley said in a low voice, "What's the difference if it’s my idea or Wendy’s?"
"Of course there's a difference. If it's from Ms. Wendy, I'll throw it back in her face. If it’s you, then think about how you were with Alyssa back in the day. You said, loving someone means letting them go. Why did you rather live a life of constant bickering with Alyssa than let her go?" Chloe said.
Presley's eyes instantly flared with rage.
However, Chloe didn't wait for him to speak. She continued, "The person I love has to be mine in this life. If he misses me, it's his regret. He won't be happy without me, because only I can make him happy! Letting go is a pretty cowardly thing, isn't it? What I want, I'll fight tooth and nail for it! If he's my true love, I'm definitely claiming him! Why should I let someone else have him? Who can love him like I do? Nobody!"
Chloe's words echoed in the room, pounding like a drum in everyone's hearts.
The old man on the bed was left stunned by her words, unable to regain his composure for a long time. He had never imagined that such strong and domineering words would come from a woman. But he could not refute them. Just like she had said, if he had been able to let go back then, he wouldn't have done whatever it took to get Alyssa.
The past was the past; he had never reflected on why he had pursued Alyssa with all he had. All he knew was that he wanted her no matter what, so he had to get her. He never thought that he would be like this back then.
Chloe said, "You shouldn't try to trick me like this. Once a person decides to get something, they will do whatever it takes. The current situation is not even me doing everything I can. You're threatening me with the inheritance of the Harper Group to give up Damon? Impossible. As long as Damon wants it, I'll definitely help him get the Harper Group. No matter how hard it is, I'll do it because I love him. I can give everything for him, but the only thing I won't do is let him go. What can the Alonso family give to the Harper family? If the Alonso family is your only reason for rejecting me, then I'll give you the Alonso family! You know I'm not just talking."
Presley snorted, finally snapping out of Chloe's previous words, "You want the Alonso family, should I call you naive or stupid? How did Wendy get her status? How did Phoebe's mother die? Do you know? This is common knowledge, and then what? How did things develop? Who ended up benefiting? Did Phoebe become the heiress, or was her mother's injustice redressed? There's a procedure for investigating cases, you think the Alonso family had ever thought about investigating what happened? No, there was nothing. Do you know why?"
Because Grace's backer was Princess Ava of Y country.
Chloe understood this.
"You think by inflicting such a huge loss on the Alonso family, they're now under your control? Naive! Do you know the more enemies, the more difficulties? Even if the Harper family split with the Alonso family later, how can you ensure they won't make trouble for you behind the scene? The Harper family isn't afraid of trouble, but we are afraid of being delayed. I originally only needed to put in a fraction of the effort to accomplish something, but dealing with them requires three times the effort! Chloe, can you calculate this?" Presley said.
Chloe gave a faint smile, "I can. You just want to pay the smallest price for the greatest return."
Presley fell silent.
"In the end, what you fear isn't the Alonso family, but Princess Ava of Y country." Chloe said.
Presley smirked sarcastically, "You're capable, but can you really turn into the princess of Y country?"
Chloe pursed her lips, chuckling coldly, "You seem to portray the Harper family as if it's only survived until now because of women."
First there was a Ms. Wendy; now there was a princess from Y Country.
"If you can't make it work, then just leave. The Harper family doesn't need to bet everything on you!" Presley said.
Chloe smirked, "Then you might lose your grandson. He's willing to give up the entire Harper family for me."

Nathan was dragged all the way to the hospital rooftop by Damon. He thought he was gonna get a beating. He covered his head and hid to the side, but the expected punch never came.
After a while, he looked up and saw Damon standing in front of the railing, looking in an unknown direction through the iron net. His silhouette seemed firm; there was no sign of wanting to beat him. He slowly stood up, frowned, and walked over to Damon.
"You're not gonna hit me?" Nathan asked.
Damon's deep eyes turned to him, giving him a cool look.
"Are you really gay or did you accidentally post the wrong video?" Damon asked.
Upon hearing this, Nathan's forehead veins suddenly tensed up. "I am so pissed of hearing this! What does she mean, accusing me out of nowhere? I'm a married man!”
"That doesn't rule out the possibility of you being bisexual." Damon said.
Unable to hold back, Nathan retorted loudly, "I'm not!"
