The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1126

Elizabeth frowned slightly, a trace of confusion on her face. She exchanged a glance with Chloe next to her, both of them having suspicions about this "who".

She shot Damon with an unhappy look. After all, it was a girl who got beaten up and was even spitting blood, this...

“Who did you hit?!”

Seeing Damon didn’t answer immediately, Presley's eyes widened. He banged his fist on the stair railing, his voice booming with authority.

Damon coldly glanced at Nathan, the troublemaker. Nathan awkwardly chuckled and took a step back, cradling his cheek. "I didn’t mean to."

Damon averted his gaze, turned to Presley, and uttered nonchalantly, "Wendy."

Chloe's eyes fluttered, her red lips firmly pressed together.

"You!" Presley was so furious that his mustache quivered, "Why did you hit her?"

"I wouldn’t hit her without a reason."

"You can't hit her even if you have a reason!"

Patience was wearing thin in Damon’s eyes, and he retorted in a low voice, "I hit her, that's it. There are no ifs or buts!"

Chloe's lips curled into a small smile, but she quickly lowered her head to hide it.

Elizabeth shot her a glance, leaning closer to whisper, "So, how about it? Your husband is quite the hunk, right?"

Chloe's face reddened slightly, her lips curling up again.

Elizabeth continued, "But this hunkiness comes at a price. Make sure you make it up to him tonight."

Presley was fuming, "You... you're such a fool!"

Damon's face was cold and impassive.

Presley knew that despite his cool exterior, Damon was proud and stubborn. He could easily brush off huge issues if he was willing, but he couldn’t tolerate even the smallest things if he wasn't. Everything depended on his mood, but mostly, he was indifferent, let alone resorting to violence. Now, he had hit a girl, and not just any girl, but Wendy, who had grown up with them.

"She's been pampered since she was a kid. Who would dare to hit her? Aren't you afraid the Alonso family will turn their backs on you?"

Chloe's face darkened suddenly as if realizing what price Elizabeth had been referring to. That was quite a big price indeed! But... um, could she just compensate by making up to him tonight? If only it was that simple.

Damon spoke with an icy demeanor, "Do you think I am so weak that I can't stand without the Alonso family?"

With a single sentence, his boundless confidence was unquestionably revealed.

Chloe wore a faint smile, but it was genuinely calm. Her eyes, usually as brilliant as the stars, had now mellowed down, tranquil, and serene.

Wendy had always looked down on her, which was not exactly wrong. If she hadn't shown up, they probably wouldn't have to worry about the relationship between the Alonso and Harper families.
