Chapter 1762
Chloe closed her eyes tightly, striving to maintain her composure and not engage with him. Then, she opened her eyes and gazed at him with silence.
“Maybe you should remember your place. Even if I were to shoot for the stars, it has nothing to do with you. Also, you didn’t organize Global Economic Summit. I was invited here if you’re so adamant about kicking me out, then please ask the permission of the organizers first if they agree with you and retract their invitation, then I’ll gladly leave
“Or, are you implying that you don’t care about the organizers, and they must listen to your commands? if that’s the case, then I guess I have to leave.”
“You “Presley was left trembling with anger by Chloe’s words
The organizers of Global Economic Summit functioned like the United Nations, and its role was just as significant. It was responsible for understanding global economic statistics, proposing development policies, and making decisions for major economic meetings c2
Chloe’s words suggested two possibilities either Presley was disrespecting the organizers by trying to kick out an invitee, or he, as the director of the Harper Group. was arrogantly dismissing the organizers authority
Either way, Presley would not come out unscathed, and might even bring trouble upon himself that he could not handle.
In just a few sentences, she almost made him disrespect the entire Global Economic Summit. This woman’s cunning was unmatched.
The crowd’s expressions became serious. This association was not something to be offended lightly. The Harper family could be targeted at any time, for any
reason, in any way
“Stop stiming the pot he bellowed, glaring at Chloe with widened eyes “You’re so devious.”
Chloe raised an eyebrow, “Since you look down on me, I’ve never tried to reach your level Sir, we could’ve had a peaceful evening, but you seem to forget that you were the first to insult me
Everyone nodded Indeed, it was Presley who started the argument.
“You The babies in your womb are the Harpers”
“Don’t you see the contradiction here?”
Presley couldn’t let go of the babies Chloe were carrying, and his words made her expression turn dark
“You kick Damon out of the Harper family and don’t acknowledge me as his wife, yet you’re deeply concerned about my unborn babies What’s this? You don’t want your grandson, and in your eyes, I’m just a mere tool for bearing children for the Harper family, as if giving birth to a child for you is an obvious thing?”
Presley felt silent
“I can’t control your archaic thoughts. I can respect you as an elder and not quarrel with you, but when you disrespect women! I can’t accept that. I owe you nothing. and I owe the Harper family nothing. And I certainly won’t use my unborn babies to pay you back”
“You
“What I’m saying might be harsh, but it’s the truth. Although this isn’t the right place, you’ve never given me the opportunity to say this elsewhere. This is the World Economic Summit, and many prominent business leaders from around the world are watching. Let’s not become the center of gossip, shall we?”
She had already said everything that shouldn’t have been said, and now she was considering the bigger picture. Presley was left fuming.
But Chloe had already turned her attention to the crowd, scanning them before saying, “Hello everyone, I’m Chloe, the head of Starlight International. I look forward to working with you all
Everyone exchanged glances and their expressions became strange. They couldn’t afford to work with her
They’d heard about her feud with the Harper Group, but they didn’t expect her to make a scene at the World Economic Summit. Instead of choosing her a nobody. they wouldn’t dare offend the Harper family
At least not openly
Chloe just smiled. “It seems you re all hesitant to associate with me, that’s fine. All relationships should be mutual. I’m happy to meet you all today”
Facing different cultures and communication styles. Chloe tried to keep her words simple and straightforward.
Mrs. Steve looked at her cunously. “I know this is your first time attending the World Economic Summit. Are you looking for business partnerships?”
Im just stating my position I’d love to make friends with everyone here. Even if we can’t reach a partnership, at least I won’t be singled out”
Her frankness surprised Mrs Steve, “Are you also open to discussing partnerships today?”
The word “also made everyone’s expressions change Discussing partnerships here would certainly be a matter of interest for everyone
Chloe smiled, ‘It’s always good to make more friends if there’s a good opportunity, I will certainly consider it
“Consider?” Presley sneered at Damon, “Do you even have a chance? I’d like to ask all the businesspeople here, who would want to work with you?”
Damon’s eyes were veiled in a dark must as he watched Presley It seems like you can speak for everyone here.”
Presley let out a scoff. “Use your noggin for once What the hell is she on this occasion? Only you are treating her like she’s some precious gem. Who would collaborate with a small entertainment company like hers?”
At this, Chloe let out a soft chuckle, leaning into Damon’s embrace, retorting. “It is none of your concern in the matters of business partnerships, it’s all about whether I am interested I don’t just accept every Tom, Dick, and Harry’s proposal. To be honest, some people just don’t have what it takes to negotiate with me
Presley’s facial muscles twitched, “Ignorant! Arrogant
Chloe smirked, “Well, you got to have the chops to be arrogant.”
“I’m definitely going to talk about partnerships. You Harpers may consider yourselves high and mighty, but in my eyes, you aren’t even worthy of partnering with me At least, I’m not interested”
The expression in Presley’s eyes suddenly turned fierce, the anger on his face making the atmosphere notably tense
Chloe remained unfazed, her expression also hardening. She could take his mockery, but not when it was directed at Damon.
He had been given chances time and again, yet relying on his status and power to act high and mighty in front of them. No one had endless patience or infinite tolerance
You only strut around here because of the respect others afford you out of decency and integrity, not because you are truly respectable. If we must count, even at your best, you’re only second best globally

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...
