Chapter 1764
Robin just nodded, grinning like a Cheshire cat. “Of course”
The others remained silent, clearly affected by the situation.
Everyone was eager to see their businesses thrive and prosper. They wanted to get along with the Harpers, but they were even more eager to maintain good relations with the Obsidian Corporation
In this dog–eat–dog world, everyone wanted to ally themselves with the truly powerful They were well aware of the Harper’s and Obsidian’s rivalry and secretly delighted in it. As long as the two powerhouses didn’t join forces and leave them in the dust, they were more than happy to see them at odds. And they were trying to play both ends against the middle, hoping to manoeuvre smoothly between the two giants
In this world, might was night and connections were everything Building relationships was crucial not only in politics but also in business Otherwise, there wouldn’t be departments of foreign affairs and PR departments in corporations c2
Take Damon, for instance Even though he didn’t have much to his name, he managed to snag Ms Summers of Starlight International and hence, managed to land a spot in the prestigious Global Economic Summit
No one expected that the Harpers would extend an olive branch to the Obsidian Corporation today
Such a pity
Everyone’s thoughts were all over the place, their gaze shifting to Damon Although no words were spoken, the looks exchanged were clear as day
It was common knowledge that the patriarch of the Harper family had recently held a press conference that sounded like he was severing ties with Damon. However, judging by his reaction today, he clearly wasn’t ready to let go of his grandson
His every word and action showed his concern for Damon. Although his words were often laced with sarcasm, they did reveal a certain stance Since he still considered Damon his grandson everyone had witnessed Damon openly offending Mr. Azriel.
Mr. Aznel didn’t reject the idea of negotiating with the Harpers after the summit. So the sincerity of his words was anyone’s guess.
Everyone understood this and there was no way Robin couldn’t see through it. After a moment of contemplation, Robin took a few steps forward and spoke to Damon “Damon, you’re aware that your grandfather’s actions were driven by his high expectations of you No matter what, you’re still a Harper Since the Harper family might form a frendly relationship with Obsidian, I believe Mr. Aznel won’t hold it against the Harper family if you apologize to him for your earlier actions Everyone nodded in agreement. That made sense. If the two families wanted to collaborate, it was only night for Damon to swallow his pride and apologize to the CEO of Obsidian
Damon furrowed his brows and shot a cold glance at Azriel, who seemed to be enjoying the show
Chloe, however, was amused by Robin’s words “Has the Harper family become so humble just for a successful cooperation with Obsidian? Are they so afraid the deal might fall through that they re making the guy they kicked out apologize?”
Upon hearing this, Robin’s brows knitted together ‘Damon offended Mr. Azriel because of you, Ms. Summers
Chice raised an eyebrow “is that so? But I see no need to apologize”
“You
“Damon, if you still consider yourself a Harper, then go apologize to Mr Azriel Presley finally spoke, his icy gaze fixed on Damon. If you’re still upset about my past actions, I admit that I let my emotions get the best of me I could apologize to you if you want. But today, you must apologize to Mr. Azriel
Indeed, he didn’t want to lose his grandson. Some of his past actions were indeed driven by anger. When he had cooled down, he realized that he had been too impulsive
Now was the perfect opportunity. He could show Damon what it felt like to bow down to the powerful, and also find a reason to apologize for his past fictions.
Damon was still his grandson He could not afford to lose his grandson over a woman Otherwise, he would be the only loser
Nathan rolled his eyes “Grandpa, it’s the Harper family who wants to cozy up to Obsidian, not my brother. Since you still consider him your grandson, have you ever thought that your decision is no different from begging Obsidian for mercy? How desperate is our family to stoop so low just to cooperate with Obsidian? Aren’t you feel ashamed?”
Presley shot him a furious glance Keep your mouth shut if you don’t understand anything! Does he even have any dignity left? Look at him, he’s a laughing I’m doing him a favour by acknowledging him as a Harper He still wants to be ungrateful and act against me?”
This old man really had a high opinion of himself Nathan was so frustrated that he didn’t bother responding
That woman is carrying Mr. Azriel’s child, and you’re still in denial. How does it feel right now? is it pleasant?”
Aznel, who had been silent till now couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at the turn of events What in the world was going on? Chloe was carrying his child?
He glanced at the woman in Damon’s arms, his face turning ashen But he had to admit that she was a stunner tonight
However, the idea of having a child with her was quite scary
“Do you want me to gouge your eyes out?” Damon’s voice rang out coldly, his expression frosty
Everyone was still surprised by Damon’s attitude, but Azriel averted his gaze coughing awkwardly into his fist
Robins eyebrows furrowed slightly, sensing that something was off Damon was a man of pride and it was hard to imagine him apologizing to anyone, let alone Aznel His arrogance was already a given But Aznels behavior was unexpected especially for someone of his stature. He had been disrespected, yet he hadn’t said a word, let alone showed any anger This was beyond his expectations
Aznel ran his fingers through his hair and said. “He doesn’t need to apologize to me I couldn’t handle it, anyway.
His honesty was evident His CEO, even if he was wrong was always right. Asking him to apologize was too much Besides, he wanted to live a peaceful life for a few more years, and not be under the constant scrutiny of his boss
However, everyone else took it the wrong way and thought he was genuinely upset
Presley frowned, sending a cold glance at Damon befom turning to Azriel with a smile 1 sincerely apologize” he said. “My grandson has always

and I’m afraid ”
Chapter 1764
Azriel held up his hand to stop him “Mr Presley,” he said. “I believe there must be some misunderstanding. Ms. Summers and I are not in the kind of relationship you think we are. And the babies she’s carrying are not mine. You don’t have to apologize to me”
Silence filled the room. Everyone was puzzled
Presley felt a lump in his throat, almost choking on his anger “What did you say? The babies she’s carrying aren’t yours?”
Azriel nodded. ‘Of course not Ms Summers is out of my league and I am not fortunate enough to win her heart“
The surrounding crowd and reporters, however, were not calm anymore
“The babies aren’t yours? But she just said she was carrying your babies
“She also said you were her support! So that’s not true?!”
“Oh my God, her lies are being exposed on the spot. This is so embarrassing! But why did she have to say Obsidian was her support? Was she just trying to
scene at the summit?”
“Exactly! Look at how she’s dressed tonight she’s clearly trying to steal the show”
Aznel rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on
People always stuck with their first impressions
It was so obvious what was going on, so why wouldn’t everyone just put the root of the matter on Damon, and instead always assumed he was a complete and
utter boy toy?
He shook his head and looked at Damon, who was wearing an expression of utter resignation ‘It seems you play the role of the boy toy better than anyone else Damon, he said “Everyone here is so convinced that you’re the one being kept, I don’t know whether to admire you or the gmat Mrs Harper”
Damon’s face hardened “Her of course” he said coldly
Nathan and Kane smirked. Damn, even when he was angry, he still sided with his wife

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...
