The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1418

Chapter 1418 

Chloe’s gaze shifted from Wendy’s face to the slowly gathering crowd around her, and she gently stepped back a couple of paces. Just like that, she created some distance between herself and the crowd, 

“I’m a big fan of the Firefly piece from this year’s international competition. It’s in my collection.” 

“I love your designs, every single one of them..” 

“When I saw your name on the program, I thought it was a coincidence, but it’s really you.” 

Everyone clearly admired and respected Chloe. 

“Thank you, it’s nice to meet you all…” Chloe greeted everyone with a smile. She was surprised by the treatment she received here. 

Finally, Chloe placed an order for her meal and found a random spot to sit. She needed to eat, regardless of her lack of appetite, considering her current situation. She was a pregnant woman, soon–to–be a mom. 

Seeing how Chloe handled everything with grace, Becky became increasingly uncomfortable. Why would Chloe think that, after how she had treated her in P City, she would let it slide? 

Without a second thought, Becky got up and walked toward Chloe. Barbara didn’t stop Becky but was worried about what she might do, so she followed. She didn’t mind getting a closer look at this Chloe. 

Becky sat across from Chloe, chin up, looking at Chloe arrogantly. Chloe was delicately cutting her food and putting it in her mouth with impeccable manners. Becky felt ignored, which made her angrier. 

“Chloe, what’s wrong with you? Can’t you even say hi?” Becky’s sharp voice filled with anger drew everyone’s attention. 

Chloe slowly chewed her food, looking at the fuming Becky across from her, and put her fork and knife down only after swallowing. She picked up her napkin and gently wiped her mouth. “Ms. Becky, are you here to pay your debts?” 

Becky paused, “What did you say?” 

Chloe picked up her juice, took a sip, and said, “Isn’t it? Didn’t you lose a bet at the International Makeup Competition and owe me?” 

“Shut up!” Becky cut Chloe off sharply, her face turned ugly at Chloe’s reminder. 

Chloe just smiled and continued eating, “So, you’re not here to pay your debts.” 

Seeing Chloe’s nonchalance, Becky remembered all the humiliations she suffered in P City and, in a fit of rage, swept Chloe’s plate off the table. The porcelain plate shattered on the ground with a loud crash. 

Chloe paused for a moment, then put her cutlery down, the sound echoing on the white tablecloth–covered table. Her eyes instantly turned cold. 

Everyone in the banquet hall turned to look in their direction. 

Becky stood up, walked over to the broken plate, and stepped on Chloe’s half–eaten croissant, feeling a bit better. The crowd’s eyes conveyed their displeasure and, disgust at Becky. 

Chloe didn’t argue with Becky at this moment. She slowly stood up, pulled out her chair, and walked back to the food counter. 

Chloe’s indifference gradually erased Becky’s smugness, and the surrounding eyes turned her pale. Neglect was the best response to unreasonable attacks. Chloe did nothing, but the stares from the crowd were enough to make Becky feel embarrassed. Becky stomped her foot in anger, biting her lip. 

Barbara watched Chloe order her food again and said, “Becky, you should know the occasion…” 

Before she could finish her sentence, a shadow passed by her, heading straight for Chloe. It was Becky. 

Chloe was just about to turn around with her newly ordered food when a hand flipped her plate onto the ground. 

Becky glared at Chloe, her bright eyes full of rage, “What? You think you’re tough? Everything in this restaurant is mine. If you have any dignity, don’t eat!”
