The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1400

Cole felt a chill run down his spine. "What... What the hell did you do to Wendy?!"

"She should be... She should be fine, I guess."

"Damon, Wendy did all this stuff for you 'cause she's into you! Every time you hurt her, it's like a knife in her heart. You get that?"

"By your logic, her heart should have been stabbed a few hundred times already. But she's still standing strong, which only means her feelings aren't that deep. To me, these shallow feelings are just a burden, and honestly, they're quite annoying. She said she'd rather die without me, but she doesn't know when to let go, or when to back off. So, I'm just giving her a hand. I've given her plenty of chances, and I've shown enough respect to the Alonso family. Now, I just want to deal with my problems, and that's got nothing to do with anyone else."

"You..."

"I've got some stuff to handle, so I'll keep her with me for now. Once I'm done, I'll hand her back to you. As for the state banquet she wanted to attend, I'm afraid she won't be able to make it."

Cole was so mad that his lips were quivering. "Damon, you just don't want Wendy to attend the state banquet. That's why you chose this time to handle your business!"

Damon smirked. "Well, yes and no."

He did have stuff to handle, but choosing to do it at this time was partially because he didn't want her to show up at the state banquet. With her flamboyant and restless personality, Chloe would always have to deal with her.

The state banquet was a gathering of nobles and politicians worldwide. If something went wrong, it would affect Chloe, no matter the outcome.

Public opinion was a double-edged sword. Once something happened, there would always be opposition. Once someone started to guide public opinion, it could form a large public opinion group. Even if it was the minority, it could not be ignored.

Cole was furious at Damon's indifferent response.

He asked Damon to let Wendy go, but he knew that for Damon, that was impossible. He wanted to say more, but Damon had already hung up.

Cole immediately stood up.

Grace saw that Cole looked upset and asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Cole brushed her off and headed for the door. "Wendy's under Damon's control. I need to go to the hospital to find Presley!"

"What?!" Grace's face turned pale. She followed him to the living room. Her body went limp, and she sat down on the sofa.

Cole rushed to the hospital as fast as he could, but he couldn't even get through the hospital's main entrance.

Cole and Damon were now on opposite sides; this was their first confrontation. Damon had arranged for people to lock down the entire hospital. He seemed to know that Cole would come to the hospital.

Not seemed, he just knew.

The bodyguards who stopped Cole didn't look surprised when they saw him at the hospital. They seemed to have been waiting for Cole's appearance.

"Mr. Alonso, you can't go in."

Cole suppressed his anger. "I'm here to visit Presley."

"Ms. Wendy has already visited on behalf of the Alonso family today."

They even had their rebuttal ready.
