The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1171

"Granny!" Upon seeing Alyssa, Wendy gave her a slight nod and a smile.

"Chloe, would you give me a hand and wheel me to my breakfast?" Alyssa said. Hannah vacated a spot for Chloe, motioning her to come over.

Chloe hesitated for a moment, then stepped up to the plate and pushed Alyssa into the dining room.

Wendy's face was clearly still a bit awkward. Seeing this, Presley stood up and said, "Addie, help Wendy get to the dining room for breakfast."

"Okay!"

Watching Presley take the lead and leave, Addie helped Wendy up, whispering with a laugh. "Ms. Alonso, don’t worry. In this house, Presley's word carries a lot of weight. He'll look out for you, no more biting your tongue."

A faint smile crossed Wendy's face, "But this is still the Harper family, and my relationship with Ms. Summers is broken..."

"She hasn't even set a wedding date! This is a golden opportunity, if you play your cards right, I believe Damon will see your merits! Plus, with Presley favoring you, who knows what the future holds!"

Wendy gave a wry smile, agreeing silently. Her previous actions were beyond repair, so she could only be as pleasant as possible. She believed that as long as she kept a low profile, her presence would still be felt.

"Anyway, Ms. Alonso, just relax and make yourself at home! Don't feel out of place, the servants, guards, drivers, and so forth, most of them were transferred from Hong Kong, and they seem to like you... We'd prefer if it were you who becomes the future Mrs. Harper..."

Addie's words were cut short when she looked up to see Chloe standing at the doorway of the dining room, smiling at them. Startled, Addie flushed, wondering how many of her words Chloe heard, and felt a wave of embarrassment.

"Ms. Summers... what are you doing standing here instead of eating?"

"Do I need to report to you what I'm doing?"

After Chloe said this, she realized it sounded familiar. It was something in the conversation of Addie and her on the phone the day before.

At the thought, she gave a slight smile, looking at Addie, and said, "Addie, do you know what betrayal means?"

Addie's face turned beet red. "Ms. Summers, I may be a servant, but I deserve some respect. I've been with the Harper family for longer than you..."

"You're aware that you're a servant in the Harper family," Chloe said, staring at her. "But you seem to be more like Ms. Alonso's kin."

She paused, ignoring their awkward expressions, and laughed, "Has Ms. Alonso planted her own people in the Harper family?"

Hearing this, Wendy's face turned ashen. She anxiously glanced at Presley, clearly flustered by Chloe's suspicions.

"What the hell are you talking about?" She snapped at Chloe, her voice low. "Don't speculate wildly and sow discord between our families. Our families have long-standing close ties, why would we do something like that? You don't know anything, so shut up!"

Chloe squinted, sizing her up silently. This made Wendy uneasy. Wendy walked past her, heading straight for the dining room.

"Chloe, where's Damon? Why isn't he down yet?" Alyssa asked impatiently.
