Chapter 1560
She lifted her gaze to the two figures standing not far away, "Shall we, Mr. Harper, Ms. Summers? Let me lead you to your seats. I've arranged the best spots for you, just for today."
Of course, she had to give Chloe the best seat, so she could watch the glory of the Alonso family, which she had long coveted, now flourishing under her control. Whether in the present or the future, it was something Chloe could only yearn for but never attain.
Chloe, however, was candid enough to reveal her intentions.
"Damon was going to reserve the best seats for us,’ she admitted, "I told him you'd do it. Seems I was right."
Wendy's eyes hardened, "Ms. Summers, you always seem to know everything. Tell me, why do you think I'd reserve the best seats for you?"b2 As they chatted and walked over to their seats, Chloe looked at the empty front row and smiled confidently. "Ms. Wendy, you've tripped over me quite a few times, always wanting to see me upset and humiliated. This time is a rare opportunity, and you called me over regardless of rumors. Since I've come, it's only natural for you to arrange the best seats for me. You want me to watch the Alonso family, which I've proclaimed to covet, thrive without me. You want me to feel the agony of desiring something I cannot have. Isn't that right?"
Their conversation was open, and the onlookers were all ears.
Chloe's words enlightened those who were previously confused.
From the start, Wendy's intention of inviting Chloe was clear. It wasn't enough for Wendy to simply have Chloe present. She must have more plans hidden.
The crowd didn't think that Ms. Summers, who was invited and destined to be humiliated, was out of place though. She was fine, eating and drinking well, and her man was taking good care of her.
Whispers spread among the crowd.
"Does she really think she could humiliate Ms. Summers this time?"
"Who would've thought Mr. Harper would accompany her today.
He's treating her like a queen. I am so jealous of her."
"Yeah. Not only did he forbid her from drinking alcohol, but he even refused to let her have soda. The way he sternly made Ms.
Summers drink milk was just too envy-inducing."
"I bet no one knows the pain of unfulfilled desires better than Ms.
Wendy."
While their voices were hushed, Wendy could still hear what they were saying. She bit her lip hard, a flash of pain in her eyes followed by a look of ferocity and embarrassment. What they were saying was true. From the moment she saw Damon outside the hotel, she knew that tonight wouldn't be any easier for her than it would be for Chloe. But after all she had been through, this was a small price to pay. Whether she was sad or not didn't matter anymore, her heart was already scarred. As long as she could see Chloe in pain, she was happy. Happy beyond words.
Those whispers meant nothing to her. She had heard them before.
If she cared, she wouldn't have invited Chloe.
"Chloe, I admit you're smart. Everything you said is true. I do want you to know what it feels like to want something you can't have.
Her heart ached, she wanted to hate him, but every time she saw him, her longing for him was so strong that she couldn't control it.
Azriel and Phoebe sat down next to them.
Though Phoebe's face was blushed, her expression looked terrible.
She pursed her lips tightly, presumably unable to forgive Azriel for actually being the one to invest in the Alonso family like this.
Presley and Robin were seated next to Damon. Damon glanced at them, then gave a small nod to Presley, saying softly, "Grandfather.
As expected, Presley gave him a cold look and scoffed. "Do you have any idea what people are saying about you?" The words dripped with venom. "You're penniless, living off a woman, and you have the audacity to show your face in public places like this.
You don't even have the decency to be embarrassed."
Presley's heartbreak was genuine. When Chloe had brazenly offered to support him to the tune of twenty billion dollars, he had astonishingly agreed. Twenty billion dollars - a sum that would more than satisfy a regular family's needs for a lifetime, even if they were to live recklessly and carefree.
But in their world, what was twenty billion? Peanuts.
"Twenty billion dollars; the voice sneered, "and the heir to the Harper Group empire thinks he's hit the jackpot. Living off a woman? Pathetic. You should be ashamed of yourself."

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!......
