The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1299

Presley was staring at Chloe, thinking that she seemed a bit off. "What are you doing here?" His face was still dark, his voice cold.

Chloe slightly tugged at the corner of her mouth, standing in front of Presley, calmly looked at him, and slowly said, "Isn't this what you've been expecting?"

Presley narrowed his eyes, staring at her, his deep gaze seemingly trying to see right through her. After a while, he snorted coldly and jerked his chin towards the empty seat across from him. "Sit down."

Chloe sat down as told, smiling at Presley.

"I hope you didn't come here for nothing." Presley stared back at her.

Chloe smiled faintly. "Presley, Damon and I are married, remember?"

Presley frowned tightly. "It seems you're not here to compromise. You think marrying into the Harper family gives you a free pass?"

Chloe shook her head with a smile, reached for the cup on the table, and poured Presley a glass of water. Then she poured a glass for herself, took a sip, and said, "Presley, I'm not at ease."

She slowly said, "I worry all the time that my husband will be forced to leave me without knowing why."

She had encountered almost all the weird people and things in this world. Who would worry about their husband leaving them unknowingly? Even at her wedding, the bride-to-be was almost replaced by another woman.

"If you always worry about being left, why not leave yourself?" Presley asked.

Chloe frowned. "Why should I?"

She looked at the old man in confusion, her voice slow and clear, her attitude firm. "Leave so Wendy can take the position of Harper family's daughter-in-law?"

Hearing this, Presley sneered, "Who do you think is more suitable to be the Harper family's daughter-in-law?"

Chloe smiled, leaning slightly in her chair. "I am, of course!"

Presley's mouth twitched. "...You're shameless."

Chloe raised an eyebrow, eyes filled with amusement. "Isn't it up to Damon to decide? Presley, the question now isn't whether I'm suitable, but..."

Chloe looked up, her smile growing wider. "I am now the daughter-in-law of the Harper family."

Presley's face darkened instantly, his patience gradually wearing thin.

"What are you really here for?"

Hearing this, Chloe's smile slowly faded. Her beautiful face gradually lost its warmth, her voice becoming serious.

"I'm here because of the rumors about the Harper family."
