The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride Chapter 1306

Chapter 1306 

Elizabeth mused, turning to look at Damon who was standing beside her. She had been ready to comfort him at any moment, but it seemed like she wouldn’t get that chance after all. 

Damon was expressionless, looking down at Chloe with a somewhat cold voice. “You hungry?” 

Damon’s unexpected question took Chloe by surprise, causing her to utter an involuntary, “Huh.” 

Without wasting any time, Damon walked over and snatched the grilled salmon from Winston’s hand. ‘Snatched‘ would be a much better word to describe it than ‘took‘. 

Winston was speechless. He watched as Damon took the salmon and led Chloe straight to the dining room. For a moment, the whole house was silent, all eyes were on them. It wasn’t until they disappeared from sight that everyone started to recover. 

Damons low and gruff voice resounded from the living room. “Do you want this?” 

“Yeah.” 

There was a moment of silence, followed by the sound of dishes clattering against the table. 

“Eat.” 

With Chloe trapped in her chair by Damon, she had no choice but to eat. Seeing the red chili in the dish, Damon frowned. 

Just when Chloe was about to enjoy the food, the utensils were snatched away by Damon. 

“… What’s wrong?” 

“Is this clean?” 

Damon asked, his expression serious. 

Unfazed, Chloe reassured him, “It’s fine. Winston wouldn’t buy anything that could be a health risk…” 

Her voice trailed off as she noticed Damon’s stern look. 

“This restaurant is quite famous.” She quickly added, hoping to reassure him. The grilled salmon from this place was known for its quality, and it had a great reputation. 

But Damon still handed the utensils back to Chloe with an icy expression. “Eat.” 

The silence in the dining room left everyone in the living room speechless. 

What was up with this guy? Someone was insulting him, saying he was kept like a little boyfriend and he didn’t react at all? 

Chloe only ate a few bites and then slowed down. This didn’t seem like the right time to quietly enjoy her meal. 

“Don’t you like it?” Damon asked her softly. Chloe shook her head. 

“It’s okay.” 

Damon served her some more food. “Then eat more.” 

Chloe sighed. Did he even realize the situation they were in? 

At that moment, the people in the living room also shifted their attention to them. Watching Damon casually picking out pieces of salmon for Chloe, they couldn’t help but feel helpless. 

“It seems Mr. Harper doesn’t care about his image…” 

Their laughter filled the room. They never thought their stern CEO could be so amusing. 

Unable to refute his words, Yasmine suddenly realized the extent of a man’s shamelessness. This was the first time she couldn’t argue back. 

After Damon finished eating with Chloe, he led her out of the dining room, protecting her from everyone else. He was afraid that if he wasn’t careful, Chloe would be taken away by someone. 

Standing in the middle of the living room, Damon turned to Winston. “Move out.” 

“This is my house!” Winston blurted. 

Damon looked at him thoughtfully, his expression unreadable. 

The room fell into an awkward silence until Mr. Royce finally broke it. “Alright, Damon. You should go back and deal with the company’s affairs.” 

At the mention of company affairs, Damon’s expression shifted. He didn’t respond at first, but when Chloe tugged at his clothes lightly, he understood that it was time to leave. 

This time, Yasmine didn’t say anything. The situation had reached this point, and there was nothing she could do. Her daughter was willing, so what else could she say? 

She had heard about the Harper Group’s situation. It had gone too far for Chloe’s sake, and to hold onto any grudges would be unseemly. 

“Damon!” Seeing that Damon wasn’t responding, Royce called out to him sternly. 

“I’m fine, go now, Chloe urged, clutching his arm. 

After a few seconds of contemplation, Damon turned to Yasmine and said, “I’ll be back tonight.” 

Yasmine, “…And if I don’t agree?” 

Damon turned around. “Doesn’t matter.” 

In the end, Damon left the Peck family. 

Before leaving, Elizabeth patted Winston on the shoulder, trying to comfort him. “Winston, don’t be too sad… Can I get your contact information? If I find a girl that’s right for you, I can help… Hey…” 

Elizabeth was cut off mid–sentence and led away. 

“Winston… your contact info… Chloe, tell me Winston’s contact info later…” 

“Elizabeth!” 

“What?! I was just being polite and saying goodbye. Why are you so rude?!” 

Polite… Was this how she treated people politely? Royce’s face darkened, and he hoisted the struggling Elizabeth onto his shoulder, marching out of the villa with a stern expression. 

What on earth had he done in his past life to deserve such a headache? 

Not until the sound of the car engine started and faded into the distance did Chloe’s smile fade. She glanced at Yasmine, biting her lip lightly. “Mom…” 

“Alright. Sit down, I have something to talk to you about.” 

Yasmine’s expression was very serious, and Chloe could tell that what she was about to say wasn’t just about the recent events. Although she had mentally prepared herself, she was still shocked when she saw the documents Bryson handed her! 

“Mom, this…” 

“Yes, these are the projects the Alonso family has recently invested in. If successful, their status will be further cemented.” 

Looking at the huge sums on the report, Chloe furrowed her brows. After a moment of contemplation, she squinted her eyes and took a deep breath, tentatively asking, “So can we…” 

“Snatch it.” 

Yasmine didn’t hesitate, cutting to the chase. 

Taken aback by the sudden voicing of her thoughts, Chloe hesitated for a moment before nodding, a typical savvy and cool demeanor on her face that was frequently seen in the business world. 

“This is an opportunity. If we pull this off, the Alonso family will undoubtedly be hit hard. They’ll be left licking their wounds, and I sure as hell won’t give them a chance to bounce back!”
