The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1249

"You sure you want to head out there?" Seth beside her asked in a steady tone. "You know what you're walking into, right?"

Chloe's face was a shifting landscape of emotions. "Today's my turf." There was no way she was going to let Wendy just walk all over her. She wasn't going down without a fight, and she believed Damon wouldn't stand her up.

Seth knew what was going on inside her head. He silently watched her for a moment before slowly saying, "Maybe he's genuinely tied up somewhere. And..."

"Even if he couldn't make it, I can walk this path on my own!" Chloe cut him off.

She didn't want to entertain any other possibilities. All she could do right now was to trust Damon. Even if he couldn't be here, that was okay.

She was Damon's wife in essence, and she had to make sure everyone saw her that way!

In another room, Wendy had already changed into her dress. Due to her injuries, Grace had picked out a high-necked, long-sleeve gown for her. It might’ve looked a bit conservative, but it was seasonally appropriate.

The bottom was layered chiffon, the top was knit with a cloud pattern, and the waist design was slimming. The ruffle design on the cuffs was quite fashionable. It looked pretty good.

Grace looked at Wendy with a smile and nodded in satisfaction. "Are you happy with this?"

Wendy gave a shy smile. "Mum, you're a genius, to convince Grandpa to agree to this..."

Grace snorted. "Presley isn't a fool. He would never let his favorite grandson marry a woman who just causes trouble and fights! No family background, and no parents! Marrying you, they're so lucky!"

By the end, Grace's tone was laced with sarcasm. Wendy was too lost in her joy to care. Tonight, she would officially be Damon's fiancée. No matter how tough the road ahead was, as long as she was sincere to Damon, he would come around.

Grace sighed. "You may have to put up with some things."

Wendy's smile faltered slightly, knowing her mother was referring to Damon not showing up. She shook her head. "It's okay. I've come this far. What's a bit of hardship? As long as Damon and I are together, as long as I can get Chloe out of my sight, all the suffering would be worth it."

"Good, as long as you're okay with it."

Wendy seemed a bit nervous, her hands tightly clenched. After a while, she seemed to remember something and asked Grace, "Mum, what's Chloe doing now?"

Grace frowned. "No word from her. I guess she might still be dreaming in her room. Do you want to see her now?" Clearly, she wanted to rattle Chloe.

Wendy shook her head. "No, don't bother with her. It's best if she shows up in the banquet hall! This time, I want to see her embarrassed in front of everyone!"

She had put up with so much these past days. Finally, she was going to see Chloe's downfall. How could she not look forward to that?

Grace patted her shoulder lightly. "What happens next could be tricky. Damon's reaction will depend on how you act. But as long as you don't make a big mistake, he won't cut ties with the Alonso family. You have the backing of the Alonso family and Presley, so don't worry too much..."
