The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 621

Chapter 621 

Viviana’s lips twitched, but before she could speak, Jonah started grilling her. 

“What are you planning to gift Chloe for her wedding?” he asked. 

Only then did everyone else in the room remember Chloe’s existence, and all eyes turned to her. 

Chloe was sitting there, cool as a cucumber, her demeanor hadn’t changed one bit, calm and detached. Her head was slightly bowed, her lips curled into an almost imperceptible smirk, sending a chill down everyone’s spine. 

Viviana was caught off guard when Jonah suddenly shifted the topic to Chloe. After a moment of silence, she stuttered out her thoughts, “Dad, aren’t we supposed to be discussing Keira’s wedding today? Chloe isn’t even engaged yet, we can talk about this when the time comes.” 

Nick’s eyebrows were furrowed and Carolina, hoping to discuss shares, saw his mood deteriorating. This left her less confident about the upcoming discussion. 

“Absolutely, we should prioritize Keira’s wedding now. Why are you thinking about things that are still uncertain?” Carolina said. 

Jonah slammed his cane on the ground, creating a thud, “I want to hear it! What’s she planning for Chloe’s wedding gift? Or should I ask, what does she have left to give?” 

His voice was deep and powerful; the low growl sent vibrations through everyone’s eardrums. 

Viviana retracted her shoulders and closed her eyes; as Jonah’s voice made her tense up. No one dared to speak; only the sound of Jonah’s angry panting echoed in the room. 

She sneaked a peek at Jonah, only to find him glaring at her. She quickly looked away, swallowed, and finally spoke, “I have an apartment in the suburbs, a restaurant, and a clothing store.” 

Viviana’s voice trailed off. 

“Why’d you stop?” Jonah asked, his eyes still on her. 

“That’s all have.” Viviana bit her lip. 

“You dare to say that’s all?!” Jonah was livid. “You’ve been a good stepmother all these years, treating Chloe well, always careful to be on your best behavior. But when it comes to family inheritance, your true colors show, right? You claim to be kind to Chloe! You’re generous with your own daughter, even willing to give her the entire Summers‘ family fortune, but Chloe gets scraps. You’re so stingy with her. Your deceit over the years is laid bare now, have you ever thought how you’d face the world if this got out?” 

Shameless people never realized how shameless they were! 

Seeing Jonah so angry, Viviana was both scared and aggrieved, “Dad, you’ve been watching all these years, when have I ever been unfair to Chloe? Since married into this family, she’s been against me, treating me badly, bullying Keira even more! I’ve been biting my tongue to avoid causing trouble. Everyone has their limits, I never said I liked Chloe, she harbors resentment, and so do I. As a granddaughter of the Summers, Chloe’s had a carefree life, everything handed to her on a silver platter. What about Keira and me? We come from a decent family too, I brought my daughter into this, bearing the stigma, enduring people’s scorn. Now, I just want to fight for a bit for Keira, is that too much to ask?”
