Chapter 1551
The moment Damon walked in, he was intercepted by Cole. Chloe greeted Damon and they parted ways temporarily. Damon's gaze followed her for a moment, sweeping over the two people by her side. Only when they were following closely behind Chloe did he withdraw his gaze.
"What are you trying to say?"
Cole frowned at Damon, "I'm surprised you showed up today, I thought you'd cut all ties with the Alonso family.’
"I came with my wife. It has nothing to do with your Alonso family.'b2
"Damon, what did the Alonso family ever do to you that you can be so heartless?"
"Well, for starters, isn't the Alonso family the main reason why I lost everything in the Harper family?"
Cole paused, then sneered, "You knew the consequences of offending us, so why were you so stubborn back then? Wendy loved you; she could have given you so much, including the entire Alonso dynasty. But you had to have that woman. You lost your position as Chairman and CEO of Harper Group, and even your grandfather was deeply disappointed in you. Look at you now, with nothing to your name, is this what you wanted?"
Damon frowned, “Aren't you tired of this?"
"What?"
"I've heard the same thing too many times. If you're just trying to take the opportunity to ridicule me, you're far from it."
Cole laughed with rage, looking at Damon, he said angrily, "Wendy has changed into a different person because of you. I just thought about the one who started this mess should be the one to finish it.
In consideration of the fact that I saw you grow up, I gave you a chance to return to her, but you're still so stubborn. Damon, what do you think you are now without the Harper family? Even if you have the ability, do you think your uncle would give you a chance to start over? Let me tell you, even if he allows it, I won't. You've made my daughter suffer enough, and it's damn time you paid the price. I want to see how long you can hold out."
Damon smirked, "I'm waiting to see what price you can make me pay. There's one thing I hope you'll understand sooner rather than later. The Alonso family, their only use now, is nothing more than a plaything for Chloe. Don't think you can use the Alonso family to pressure me. Including the Harper family, none of you are qualified.”
Cole was enraged by Damon's calm tone, after staring at Damon for a while, he said coldly:'I'd like to see what kind of storm you can stir up.’
But Damon had long since stopped paying attention to him, his gaze had already returned to Chloe.
"You..." Cole was left speechless by Damon's disregard, "really do not know your place.’
Wendy had been greeting guests all along, but her attention was always on Damon, who was standing with Cole. There was no expression on his face, the same indifference as always. Even if he occasionally smiled, it was sarcastic and cold. She didn't know what they were talking about, but she could tell that her father didn't look pleased.
When Cole left with a face full of anger, Wendy immediately went to his side. "Dad, what were you talking about with Damon?"
Cole was still angry, and he snapped at Wendy, "What are you still expecting?! He's made you like this, and you still care about him?!"
Wendy was silent for a moment.
Apart from Wendy, who else in the Alonso family could he rely on?
Phoebe? Growing up, she was always the obedient one. But all those years, she was merely a bookworm, a scholar with no real-world experience in running a business. And now, there was nobody capable to guide her through the intricacies of the corporate world. She lacked professional knowledge and a reliable backing. How on earth was she supposed to run the company?
He shook his head, sighing deeply. However, Wendy's attention had long since drifted away from him.
Chloe was already surrounded by a group of eager and restless individuals. She declined the offer of drinks from the others, retreated to a relatively safe place, and asked them with a smile, "What seems to be the problem, gentlemen?"
The group chuckled nervously. "We were just wondering, Ms.
Summers, if your presence here is merely as an invited guest, or if you're planning to get a piece of the pie in this project.”
Chloe replied with a smile, "This project indeed offers a golden opportunity, one that even the prestigious Alonso family couldn't resist. It's a chance not to be missed, gentlemen.’
They looked surprised. "So you have no concerns about the Alonso family's miraculous comeback?"
"You're worried that I might sabotage the Alonso family's endeavors again, causing your investments to go down the drain, aren't you?"
The group's faces turned red with embarrassment.

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!......
