The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1670

Chapter 1670

Everyone watched him walk away. The palpable tension seemed to thicken, hanging heavy in the air.

Damon sat motionless, and his lips were pressed into a thin line.

Chloe held the apple Damon had just given her. Juice trickled through her fingers, but she was at a loss for words. She was usually adept at diffusing uncomfortable situations or finding solutions, but this time, she felt out of her depth.

Matters of the heart were never her strong suit. She had seen Stanley's emotional outburst and didn't know how to pretend it hadn't happened. She had no idea how to face Stanley, let alone how to explain the situation to Damon..

Promises made so earnestly were broken just as easily. She didn't want to hurt Stanley, but she was completely clueless about what to do.

She took a bite of the apple, and her expression was still stricken. Her mind was filled with the look on Stanley's face, something she had never seen before.

Damon watched her from the corner of his eye, realizing that his presence was not reflected in her current state of mind. His heart tightened. He had only said those things to make Stanley give up on Chloe, but now, it seemed to have backfired.

“What are you thinking about?" His voice, deep and icy cold, broke the silence.

Chloe blinked, turning to look at him. A complex emotion flickered in her eyes.

Damon's face darkened. Chloe placed the apple on the coffee table, using a napkin to wipe her hand. She sank back into the couch.

"No... nothing."

In this world, there were some things that, no matter how much you pondered over, you could never find a perfect solution. Even a near-perfect solution wouldn't cut it. The only answer was how selfish you truly were.

Damon watched her silently for a while. Even though he knew she was troubled, he still didn't know what to say.

After a long pause, he finally stood up and ordered Nate, "Get ready. We're heading back to the city tomorrow."

"Yes, sir!"

Nate quickly acknowledged Damon. Sensing the chilly atmosphere, he hesitated before asking, "Sir, about Ms.

Alonso's situation, what are our plans once we return to the city?"

Damon contemplated for a moment before responding, "She's dead."

Nate glanced at Chloe before nodding. "Understood."

Wendy was dead.

She died in the gray zone on the outskirts of P City, a place everyone avoided.

By the time Chloe and the others returned to P City the next day, this news had already exploded in the media.

No one had any sympathy for Wendy's death. She had brought it upon herself, not respecting others’ lives. She was the one who started the kidnapping, so why would anyone feel sorry for her when she ended up dead?

Chloe didn't expect Daron to blow up the situation like this. She thought it would only be revealed if someone asked. But now, it was clear that Damon had deliberately stirred up the incident. She didn't know what he was up to, but she didn't bother to find out either. With him handling the aftermath, she didn't need to worry.
