Chapter 1767
The worry on Hannah’s face deepened “Ma’am, Mr. Damon and his team will be busy at the moment. It’s not a good time to call. Perhaps we should wait until get back. Well, wait until they’re done..”
“I said, give me your phone”
Hannah was startled and no longer dared to delay, pulling out her phone from her embrace and dialing Damon’s number
Damon’s phone was with Nate, and seeing the call from the elderly lady, he was slightly taken aback and quickly answered the call. “Hello?”
“Hello, Nate, it’s Hannah There’s something important here Ms Alyssa insists that Mr. Damon take the call “c2
There was a pause on Nate’s end, but the urgency in Hannah’s voice left him with no room to refuse. He stepped out of the car, walked up to the front door, and negotiated with the staff to get the message to Damon.
Just then, Damon, arm in arm with Chloe, emerged Nate quickly approached, “Mr. Damon, your grandmother insists that you take the call”
Chloe looked worned. “She must have seen what happened at the summit
Damon’s brow furrowed as he took the phone, guiding Chloe to a sofa in the lounge area Stepping away, he picked up the call, “Grandmother?
“Hmm If there’s nothing else at the summit, you need to come home immediately
His face was unreadable as he asked quietly. “What happened?”
“There’s been an unexpected situation. Regardless of who is at fault, I don’t want to see this again. I’m not blaming you, or complaining, but I don’t have anyone else to turn to Damon, do you understand what I mean?”
His grandmother’s voice trembled. Despite the distance, he could clearly sense her helplessness and disappointment.
His eyebrows drew together, “I understand. You have a rest, and we will talk when I get back
“Okay.” She sounded drained, weakly acknowledging before asking, “Is Chloe okay?”
“She’s fine”
Take good care of her, Damon She shouldn’t suffer because of the Harpers”
Damon pursed his lips, “Okay”
She didn’t say anything else before hanging up.
Hannah, fearing Alyssa might call Presley in her anger and say something irreversible, rushed to take back the phone. However Alyssa was already holding the phone to her ear raising a hand to stop Hannah.
Meanwhile, the summit had ended due to the standoff between the Harper family’s grandfather and grandson, Robin, supporting his father left the conference
center
Robin’s mood was low, and he answered his ringing phone with clear annoyance. However, seeing the caller ID, he glanced at his father, hesitated, and said, “It’s Mother
Presley’s face turned colder
Robin answered the call. “Mother
“Let your father take the call”
Alyssa’s sharp and commanding tone startled Robin. He offered the phone to Presley, “Mother wishes to speak with you.”
Presley’s lips tightened, and he stared at the phone for a long time without taking it. I’m not in the mood to talk to her
He pushed the phone away and shrugged off Robin’s supporting hand, staggering towards the parking lot.
Alyssa heard his refusal clearly through the phone, her expression icy
“Mother Father is not in a good mood right now. If there’s something
“If he refuses to take my call, then you can relay my message if he is so disrespectful and shameless, then he shouldn’t mind adding a divorce to his list of issues
at his age
If it weren’t for Presley’s concem for his reputation, believing that a divorce would reflect poorly on him, she would have divorced him long ago during the rocky phases of Royce and Elizabeth’s relationship
if it weren’t for that stubborn old man’s later compromise, she wouldn’t have compromised either
Back when he took over the Harper family, it was a tumultuous time. The line between the underworld and the business world was blurry Despite being a businessman, he had the demeanor of a gangster, a quick temper, and many habits that didn’t look promising Still, he had saved her life several times.
He was a typical macho man, unable to express his feelings with sweet words Still, his straightforward actions clearly showed his feelings for her
She owed him her life Without him, she wouldn’t be alive today She was grateful to him in that era, his personality and appearance were indeed attractive to women Many factors led her to be with him.
The first few years were good, really good
She understood the decisions he made for the sake of the family and never stopped him from strictly raising their children And the children never disappointed him. Watching her children grow and excel brought her great joy
But she never thought he would interfere with their children’s marriages. Her son didn’t even have the right to choose the woman he loved.
Their disagreements started then, and the distance between them grew. She began to doubt whether being with him was the night choice
What was he thinking when he married her? if he truly loved her, how could he break up a loving couple? Only those who had never been in love would prevent two people in love from being together, because they didn’t understand how precious it was to be in love and how painful it was to be separated
But when Royce and Elizabeth had their children, he compromised, and she didn’t pursue the matter further and moved out.

And she had grandsons, which was enough to distract her
Since then, there had been peace for a long time. Her greatest joy each day was caring for her grandchildren.
For thirty long years, she had never imagined that stubborn old man, her husband, would still be so obstinate, resorting to his old tricks. It seemed like he was regressing with age
The Alonso family had been left in ruins, wasn’t his hand partly in it?
Now, he had pushed Damon out of the Harper family, even going as far as to publicly humiliate him.
He always talked about the Harper family’s reputation, and their dignity. Did he even understand the meaning of family honor?
In the end, Damon’s own grandfather proved to be no better than a complete stranger Chloe was ready to risk her life to protect Damon and Chloe, while Presley was the one ready to take lives
She had made a mistake, she should have severed ties with him thirty years ago. Perhaps then, things wouldn’t have spiraled into this mess
Her words left Robin stunned, “Mother, you shouldn’t be so rash Father had his reasons.”

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...
