The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1098

"What's the deal with you bringing up Ms. Summers' ring out of nowhere? What are you trying to imply?"

Rhoda was at her wits' end. Who in their right mind would be this aggressive over a woman they had just met? "What's my agenda? Can't I just find her ring pretty?"

"Are you trying to make Makenna believe that Ms. Summers is some sugar baby? Do you think we're all idiots?"

The more Austin heard, the weirder he found this woman who popped out of nowhere. He gave Rhoda a look, hoping she'd get Dorthy out of there ASAP.

Rhoda wanted the same, but she'd underestimated Dorthy's obsession with Chloe.

"Dorthy, I mean well. You've told me about your family's financial struggles, and how proud your parents are of you working at The Watson Hotel. Have you thought about how they'd feel if they had to bail you out, or worse, see you go to jail? If you're biased against me, then I've got nothing more to say."

Dorthy just glared at her, eyes red and lips sealed.

Seeing Dorthy's attitude soften, Rhoda let out a sigh of relief. Rupin's voice came from behind, "What's going on?"

Upon hearing Rupin's voice, Rhoda quickly went to him and held his arm. "Rupin, Ms. Summers... seems to have some sort of relationship with Mr. Austin. Makenna seems to have found out..."

Rupin turned his gaze to Chloe, Austin, and the chubby woman ready to charge at Chloe. He furrowed his brows. "With Mr. Austin?"

"Mhm... Mr. Austin seems to have admitted it."

Rupin frowned, "Good Lord!"

Had he known Chloe was this type of woman, he would've done something sooner. How could he let this chubby middle-aged man get involved?

Seeing the change in Rupin's expression, Rhoda felt a sense of triumph and relaxed, leaning affectionately against Rupin. Then she turned to a suddenly quiet Makenna. "Makenna, maybe you got it wrong. Ms. Summers is loaded. That ring on her finger, maybe... she bought it herself. I don't understand rich people's thinking. Buying a ring for herself is one thing, but wearing it on her ring finger... is she marrying herself?"

At this, Makenna looked at Chloe's left hand again, her eyes widening. "Bullshit! Marrying herself? It's obviously bought by a man! No matter what you say, she's just a cunning woman, a cheap slut who seduces men!"

Chloe stood there, calm and composed, watching the drama unfold before her eyes. Her gaze finally landed on Rhoda.
