The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1252

Everyone was at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond to this woman who didn't seem to care about others' feelings.

"You..." Danielle was so pissed off that she couldn't utter a word.

Cicely simply chuckled, her laughter filled with a myriad of emotions, like understanding, serenity, and a touch of mockery.

"But given today's circumstances... Chloe is my boss, Damon is Seth's brother, and we might not have the mind for anything else."

So, if it weren't for today, they would be up for other stuff? This thought made Danielle feel miserable, and she couldn't say a word even when Cicely gracefully turned and left.

Angie and Phoebe, oblivious to the complicated relationship among these people, felt awkward for Danielle for a moment, then redirected the conversation. "We only have half an hour left!"

The private jet they booked could only land at the airport. Damon had just gotten off the plane and hadn't even left the airport before he was surrounded. These were the Harper family's bodyguards, and Damon recognized them instantly.

"What do you guys want?" Damon frowned, his icy voice causing the bodyguards to turn pale and shiver in fear.

"We..."

"Damon, back so soon?" A thick male voice echoed from a distance, and Robin's figure appeared in sight.

Damon's heart sank. "What's this about?"

Robin smiled faintly, but it was a smile filled with reluctance. "This is Presley's doing."

"Presley's doing what?"

"Heh." Robin let out a light laugh. "He's against your marriage with Ms. Chloe."

"Do you think his objection matters?"

"That's why I'm here." Robin sighed with resignation. "Damon, Wendy is a lady of the Alonso family. Marrying her is the right choice. Why can't you understand what everyone else does? What can Chloe bring you? She's nothing but a burden."

Damon glanced at his watch, his expression so gloomy it could drip water. He looked at the thirty or so bodyguards behind Robin, then turned his eyes to Robin himself.

"Didn't see you so enthusiastic about pairing me up with the Alonso family before."

Robin's smile faltered slightly. "...But I didn't object, did I? Everyone thought you and Wendy would end up together. Who would have thought you'd suddenly choose another woman?" Robin seemed to have found an acceptable excuse, and the smile returned to his face.

But Damon just stared at Robin quietly, his expression calm but his eyes dark. This made Robin, who was over twenty years his senior, feel a chill.

After a while, Damon spoke in a calm tone, "Robin, what are you afraid of?"

Robin's heartbeat quickened, and his eyes squinted slightly. "What have I got to be scared of?"

Damon looked at him coldly. "Then get out of the way."
