The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1508

The game was not fully downloaded yet, but the call from the restaurant had already sounded. Nathan had a bigger appetite for food than games. He put down his phone, got up, and said, "Let's eat first. After that, I'll teach you how to play this game, and then we can team up."
"Alright."
Chloe smiled, put her phone aside, and joined the others in the dining room.
Nathan's way of eating was a sight to behold. The food looked so good, and while Chloe and the others were only halfway through their portions, he had already polished off two.
But then again, he was raised in the Harper family, and his every move exuded a unique elegance. He ate fast, but it didn't come off as crude. Instead, it was quite enjoyable to watch.
The fact that he ate fast couldn't be overlooked, and Yulia couldn't help but advise, "You should eat slower, otherwise you might have digestion problems."
Nathan glanced at her, leaned back in his chair, and gave a satisfied chuckle. "No worries, a little exercise will take care of that."
His words sounded innocent enough, but they made Yulia's heart skip a beat and her fork tremble slightly. Everyone present was married, and although he wasn't wrong, it didn't mask the double meaning behind his words.
Chloe and Rose burst into laughter simultaneously. "Well, in that case, make sure you eat your fill. Wouldn't want to run out of energy during your, ahem, 'workout' and get hurt."
Rose said, and Yulia, who had just taken a mouthful of food, choked and started coughing. At this moment, there was no need to consciously hide her blush. She could finally blush openly and without restraint.
Chloe handed her a napkin and gently patted her on the back, "You okay?"
Yulia waved it off.
Seeing this, Rose couldn't help but chuckle. Chloe gave her a helpless look.
Nathan was sitting opposite, watching Yulia's reaction, a mischievous smile playing on his face. "Rose, you seem to know a lot. Any personal experience?"
This time it was Rose's turn to choke. "It's just common sense, okay."
Rose had never joked like this with a man before, and Nathan's question made her blush.
Everyone had their weaknesses. You can joke about others all you want, but how would you handle it when the tables were turned?
That was Rose. But Nathan's words stirred more than embarrassment in her. They brought a bitter taste to her mouth. Did she really have that much experience?
To others, she was married and pregnant. She had a husband, a child, and a seemingly perfect family. But in reality, she'd only been with a man once. Just once, and she was pregnant. It was a story straight out of a soap opera.
But her life was more like a series. Using her child to elevate her social status, meddling in other people's relationships, that was her reputation in R City and Morrison's social circle. Her actions were calculated and far from righteous.
Her throat felt better, but she couldn't stop coughing. Chloe seemed to sense something, and passed her a glass of water. "Drink some water, eat up, and then give him a run for his money in the game."
Rose looked up at her. Chloe looked worried, as if she was trying to protect her. She took the glass and took a sip.
Nathan, listening to their conversation, suddenly burst into laughter. "You think you're invincible? Planning to get back at me through the game?"
Rose put down the glass and laughed, "Get back at you? What grudge do we have? Besides, we've never played this game. I'm not foolish enough to use it as a weapon."
Nathan chuckled, "No worries, I'll teach you later."
Rose smiled, "Then I'll thank you in advance."
Nathan got goosebumps from Rose's smile, waved his hand and laughed, "No need to thank me."
However, not long after dinner, as everyone was on their phones, a news report came on TV. The report featured Starlight International building, and the main character was Carolina, who had caused a ruckus at the company today.
Everyone stopped what they were doing to watch the news. Carolina was standing in front of the fountain outside Starlight International, surrounded by reporters, all looking puzzled. No one knew what this infamous old lady was up to.
"Hello everyone, thank you for coming. I called this press conference because I want to use the power of the media to fight for justice for myself."
Watching Carolina on the screen looking indignant and pitiful, Chloe chuckled and checked the progress bar of her game update.
"Oh my god, what is this old lady up to now?" He hadn't seen the news about Carolina's rampage at Starlight International today, but now that she was on the news and had even held a press conference, it was clear she was stirring up trouble.
"Chloe, your grandma, she's such a pain in the ass, always coming up with new tricks." Rose was constantly amazed by this old lady's antics. Dealing with people like this was really challenging.
Yulia looked at Chloe worriedly, "What is she planning to do? Are we just going to let her keep this up?"
Chloe said casually, "She's just trying to use public opinion to force me to give her some money. If she's not embarrassed, just let her make a fool of herself."
"But won't this have a negative impact on the company? From the looks of it, she won't back down if we don't meet her demands."
Chloe scoffed, "That's okay, let's see how far she's willing to go."
Yulia could only nod, as Carolina's voice continued to blare from the TV. "Everybody knows that Chloe was born and raised in our Summers family, and she's our only grandkid. I admit that I've been kinda slack in looking after her before, hell, you could even say I didn't care about her enough."
