The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1249

“You sure you want to head out there?” Seth beside her asked in a steady tone. “You know what you’re walking into,

right?”

Chloe’s face was a shifting landscape of emotions. “Today’s my turf.” There was no way she was going to let Wendy

just walk all over her. She wasn’t going down without a fight, and she believed Damon wouldn’t stand her up.

Seth knew what was going on inside her head. He silently watched her for a moment before slowly saying, “Maybe

he’s genuinely tied up somewhere. And

“Even if he couldn’t make it, I can walk this path on my own!” Chloe cut him off.

She didn’t want to entertain any other possibilities. All she could do right now was to trust Damon. Even if he

couldn’t be here, that was okay

She was Damon’s wife in essence, and she had to make sure everyone saw her that way!

In another room, Wendy had already changed into her dress. Due to her injuries, Grace had picked out a high–

necked, long–sleeve gown for her. It might’ve looked a bit conservative, but it was seasonally appropriate.

The bottom was layered chiffon, the top was knit with a cloud pattern, and the waist design was slimming. The

ruffle design on the cuffs was quite fashionable. It looked pretty good.

Grace looked at Wendy with a smile and nodded in satisfaction. “Are you happy with this?”

Wendy gave a shy smile. “Mum,

a genius, to convince Grandpa to agree to this…”

Grace snorted. “Presley isn’t a fool. He would never let his favorite grandson marry a woman who just causes

trouble and fights! No family background, and no parents! Marrying you, they’re so lucky!”

By the end, Grace’s tone was laced with sarcasm. Wendy was too lost in her joy to care. Tonight, she would officially

be Damon’s fiancée. No matter how tough the road ahead was, as long as she was sincere to Damon, he would

come around.

Grace sighed. “You may have to put up with some things.”

Wendy’s smile faltered slightly, knowing her mother was referring to Damon not showing up. She shook her head.

“It’s okay. I’ve come this far. What’s a bit of hardship? As long as Damon and I are together, as long as I can get

Chloe out of my sight, all the suffering would be worth it.”

“Good as long as you’re okay with it.”

Wendy seemed a bit nervous, her hands tightly clenched. After a while, she seemed to remember something and

asked Grace, “Mum, what’s Chloe doing now?”

Grace frowned. “No word from her. I guess she might still be dreaming in her room. Do you want to see her now?”

Clearly, she wanted to rattle Chloe.

Wendy shook her head. “No, don’t bother with her. It’s best if she shows up in the banquet hall! This time, I want to

see her embarrassed in front of everyone!”

She had put up with so much these past days. Finally, she was going to see Chloe’s downfall. How could she not look

forward to that?

Grace patted her shoulder lightly. “What happens next could be tricky. Damon’s reaction will depend on how you

act. But as long as you don’t make a big mistake, he won’t cut ties with the Alonso family. You have the backing of

the Alonso family and Presley, so don’t worry too much…”

“I know,” Wendy nodded again, then asked anxiously, “Damon hasn’t shown up yet. Where could he have gone at

such a critical time? Is there any news of him? What if he suddenly shows up at the banquet…”

“Don’t worry.” Grace patted Wendy’s shoulder again, trying to console her. “Even if he made it to P City, he won’t

show up here tonight. Presley has arranged for someone to stop him. The engagement ceremony starts at eight.

As long as we can delay him for four hours, we’ll be fine!”

Wendy looked visibly relieved. “That’s good.”

She held her hand over her rapidly beating heart. As time passed, she was getting more and more nervous. She

knew doing this would bring on many challenges. But if she didn’t, she would never be with Damon. Even if there

was only a slim chance, she couldn’t give up.

No one loved Damon more than her in this world. Damon’s choice of Chloe was only because she had been abroad

for years, and they didn’t have a chance to get to know each other. Otherwise, there would be no room for Chloe

between them, right?

She forced herself to calm down, took a deep breath, and turned to Grace with a confident smile. “Let’s go check

out the banquet hall, Mum.”

She couldn’t wait to enjoy the treatment as Damon’s future wife.

Inside the banquet hall, everyone was discussing the engagement news of the Harper Group CEO and the lady of

the Alonso family. The news was like a bomb that had exploded right in the middle of the banquet hall.

“Such a surprise, the news of the Harper family’s engagement was announced on the same day.”

“Yeah, they kept it well hidden.”

“But it’s the lady of the Alonso family. The two families have a long history, they match each other in social status,

and they grew up together. There’s nothing surprising about this. But they really kept it under wraps.”

“Isn’t it tonight at the Emerald Palace? Which banquet hall?”

“I’m not sure either, I’ll ask around.”

It was the day of the CEO of the Harper Group’s engagement. There was no way the engagement ceremony would

be empty. If one could seize this opportunity to establish even a small connection with the Harper family, they

would be rapturous.

“I’m actually quite interested in Ms. Chloe’s fiancé. We’ve been speculating for so long, and now the day has finally

arrived. It would be a shame to miss it.”

“We’ll find out one day! What’s the difference between knowing today and tomorrow?”

“Right, you hit the nail on the head.” After all, compared to the Harper Group, Starlight International naturally took

a backseat.

“Huh? Isn’t that the little lady of the Alonso family?”

Someone shouted out loud, and everybody craned their necks to look.

Wendy, arm in arm with Grace, was slowly descending the spiral staircase.
