Chapter 1655
When Nate first received the message, he had warned them again and again to handle this issue with absolute caution and utmost discretion. As it turned out, he was absolutely right.
Knowing that it was Wendy who took Yasmine away was definitely a blow, but what was happening now was even more serious.
The atmosphere in the lounge room was tense. Nobody dared to breathe, let alone move. Damon's face was as dark as a thundercloud, and nobody dared to meet his gaze.
Chloe soon received a set of photos. They were of a war-torn border, people armed with weapons, devoid of any emotion, and Yasmine, visibly worn out, locked up somewhere.
Seeing these photos, Chloe's calm facade wavered, and her lashes were trembling uncontrollably. There was a message accompanying the photos.
[Aren't you coming? To see your mother one last time]
Even in a simple line of text, Chloe could almost see the smug, crazed expression on Wendy's face.
It was late into the night, and her room was dark. Nate and his men were on guard downstairs. Sitting on her bed, she scrolled repeatedly through the photos and the message. She placed a hand on her belly, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.
After a long moment, she slowly opened her eyes, picked up her phone, and texted Stanley. [I'm coming with you.]
Stanley's call came in less than two seconds. "Are you out of your goddamned mind? That woman wants to lure you there. If you go, won't you be playing right into her hands? She'd be thrilled!"
Chloe remained calm. "| should see her one last time."
Stanley fell silent for a moment. "Are you sure? It's not safe there. What if..."
“There's no need for hesitation. Do you think | can’t protect myself, or... will you let anything happen to me?"
"Damn it! Of course, | won't let anything happen to you! You're just trying to provoke me! Wait for me, I'm coming to get you!"
"Okay: Chloe gave a small smile and quietly responded. She knew Stanley well. They had worked together for a long time, and she was good at understanding people's habits and characteristics.
Throwing her phone aside, she got up, opened her wardrobe, and put on a few loose clothing items, even adding a down jacket. Her slender figure, bundled up, didn't look overly bulky. She was petite to start with, and even with a growing baby or two, she didn't look excessively large. She quickly tied up her hair and left her room without taking anything else.
The moment Chloe's bedroom light came on, Nate became anxious. He was standing beneath her window, looking up at the lit room.
Within a few minutes, word came that Stanley had turned around halfway.
Nate had a hunch about what was going on, but he found it hard to believe.
In his eyes, Chloe was always a smart woman, and she could see through Wendy's obvious intentions. Knowing this, she should choose not to fall into Wendy's trap. But when Chloe, dressed and ready, appeared before him, he was still taken aback.
"Madam!" He rushed forward with his men following closely, subtly forming a protective circle around Chloe.
Chloe was dressed warmly, and her beautiful face was calm and composed.
“lL need to leave now."

The readers' comments on the novel: The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride
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...
