Chapter 1534
"Ms. Carolina, you're well aware of the conflicts between Ms.Wendy and Ms. Summers. Ms. Wendy even tried to screw Ms.Summers over. And you're still siding with her? Isn't that a bit much to ask Ms. Summers to foot your bill?"
Carolina's face darkened, "If she'd been a bit more reasonable, why would I have sided with Ms. Wendy? She didn't fulfill her duty, and it's been Ms. Wendy who's been taking care of me all this time."
"So, in your eyes, whoever gives you money is the good guy, huh?"
A chilly voice laced with sarcasm came from behind. Everyone turned to see Chloe, dressed in a slim-fit down jacket and hands in pockets, surrounded by bodyguards, nonchalantly making her way over.
Seeing her composed demeanor, Carolina's face instantly grew colder. She huffed, her face darkening, "Are you implying I'm greedy? Chloe, my dear granddaughter, as a businesswoman, you should know to respect the people who give you money.’b2 Chloe gave a cold chuckle, but there was no warmth in her smile.
"Oh, really?" Chloe cut her off, the sarcastic smile on her face becoming more apparent, "So if I give you money, does that mean you will respect me?"
"Ha!" Chloe's words made the crowd burst into laughter.
"Ms. Summers is as sharp-tongued as ever."
"She always knows what to Say, it's really impressive."
"Well said, I think this old hag only recognizes money. Whoever gives her money, she could even call them granny."
It was pretty nasty to make such sarcastic remarks about an elderly person. But when someone behaved too shamelessly, and even if they were unwilling to accept the criticisms and ridicules, they had no choice but to endure it.
Carolina flushed with embarrassment and yelled at Chloe, "You!
This is absurd!"
Chloe gave a cold laugh, "You're familiar with the word ‘absurd'?"
Carolina had never been able to get the upper hand over Chloe in verbal exchanges. In fact, she didn't have any advantage over Chloe in other aspects either. Every time, she was left fuming by Chloe. Wendy, on the side, wished she could kill Chloe with her glare, "Chloe, she's your grandmother after all. Aren't you afraid of karma for talking to her like this?"
Chloe looked down at Wendy in her wheelchair, and smiled, "You guys aren't afraid. Why should I be?"
Wendy glared at Chloe's calm face, "You won't end well, Chloe.
There are twists and turns in life, I'm waiting for the day to see you cry.
Chloe nodded slightly, “Let's live in the present. If you feel better thinking like that, then go on. But I think I'm accumulating good karma."
She had no intention of engaging in a lengthy discussion with them. After she had spoken, she prepared to leave. The reporters immediately swarmed her, "Ms. Summers, what are your thoughts on today's lawsuit?"
When they thought they were 100% sure to win, Chloe always managed to pull a rabbit out of the hat. They were genuinely starting to fear Chloe's tactics.
But this time, they were extremely cautious. After all, the law was clear. How could Chloe possibly win this lawsuit?
The reporters were also filled with curiosity, eager to see how Chloe would turn the tables at the end.
"Ms. Carolina, if you do win this lawsuit, will there be any changes to the 2 billion you previously asked from Ms. Summers?" The reporters asked.
Carolina snorted, her words full of stubbornness, "She's unrepentant. Since I can't change her, then she has to pay the price. Given her attitude now, 2 billion is a bargain!"
At this point, there was a disturbance in the crowd. The reporters followed the sound and saw a middle-aged man leading an elderly man dressed modestly, slowly making his way towards the courthouse with the aid of a walking stick.
They could hear people in the crowd questioning, "Isn't that Jonah?"
"And that one, Nick, the son of the Summers family. Geez, these two really. Things have already escalated to this point and only now they show up! Are they doing this on purpose or something?"
Jonah? Suddenly showing up at this time? Watching his spouse take his granddaughter to court, wonder what was going through his mind.
As soon as the identity of the old man was confirmed, the reporters swarmed over again.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride
J’ai beaucoup aimé lire ce livre et j’aurais adoré connaître la fin. Merci beaucoup à l’auteur. Je sais que ce n’est pas parfait mais je suis consciente que c’est un livre que je lis gratuitement. Les publicités qui y sont présentées sont intéressantes et m’ont aidée à faire quelques achats. J’aimerais savoir quoi faire pour continuer la lecture de ce livre. D’avance merci....
Can't understand it, the translation is poor...
Lame translation....
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...
I really like the book but there are a lot of typos which is making it even more difficult to read and stay engaged. Author please do some edits....
Best story ever...
I've been waiting for the wedding of Chloe and Damon until the ending of this novel their wedding doesn't happen at all!......
