The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1104

She paused for a bit and then let out a small sigh, tinged with a hint of hurt. "I can't possibly curse her out."

"Why not?"

"I just can't bring myself to say those nasty things."

Chloe was always one to clap back at anyone who tried to do her dirty, always ready for a tit-for-tat, an eye for an eye. But in situations like today, facing Makenna's harsh words, even if she wanted to retaliate, she felt powerless. She didn't even have the courage to speak up.

Damon pondered for a bit. He couldn't quite picture Chloe yelling curses either. But when he found out Chloe had been insulted and wronged, a raging anger filled his heart.

Seeing Damon's grim face, Chloe strolled over with a faint smile, "Are you mad?"

Damon shot her a glance, "How come I never noticed you were so easy to bully?"

Chloe blinked her eyes, "Well, my status is different now, after all, I agreed to help Claud manage his hotel and it seems like he would have been better off without me."

Damon pulled her closer, "It's Claud's own damn fault. How could he have asked you! I'm gonna have a word with him about the crap you had to put up with today."

Chloe gently stroked his firm chest, "Don't be mad. I didn't retaliate with words, but I did fight back, and didn't just take it. Also, wasn't I waiting for you to back me up?"

As she said this, she opened her eyes wide and blinked at Damon.

Damon raised an eyebrow, glanced at Nate who was busy, then looked back at Chloe, his tense jaw muscles slightly relaxed. "Waiting for me to back you up? We are separated by ten floors, how did you know I would definitely find out?"

Chloe glanced at Rhoda, who was trembling on the ground, "She wanted to embarrass me. I do have a reputation in P City. She must have already posted the rumors about me being a mistress on the internet, right?"

Damon's face eased a bit, "You deliberately let her post this on the internet so I could see?"

"Um... not exactly... you might not see the news on the internet." Chloe pondered, her expression complex, yet her eyes were filled with cleverness and mischief, lively and playful.

Damon rarely saw her like this; he really liked this side of her. His hand was firmly around her waist, his thumb gently rubbed her waist.

He raised an eyebrow and looked down at her, a hint of interest in his eyes, "What if I didn't see the news online? What would you do?"

Chloe's fingers couldn't escape Damon's grasp, so while she spoke, she used her fingers to scratch his warm and broad palm.

"Then I'll just wait, wait for those who want to escalate this matter to take further actions. You'll find out sooner or later, right?"

Chloe's fingers moved in Damon's palm like a kitten's claws scratching. Damon's gaze darkened slightly as he loosened his grip on her hand, allowing her to move more freely.

"Are you determined to wait for me this time? What are you thinking?"

"I'm backing you up." Chloe candidly responded, then looked up at him with a smile, "Makenna sees Mr. Austin as part of her life, Rhoda treasures Rupin like a gem, and they're both afraid I'll steal their men... The more agitated they get, the more abusive they are, the more they spread rumors about me, the more I'm looking forward... to your arrival."

Damon cracked a slight smile, "Why?"

Chloe raised an eyebrow and smiled charmingly, "Because I want to show them, my man... is the best man in the world, far superior to the men they're trying so hard to protect. You're mine, and who'd choose any other man?"
