The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1504

"Chloe, do you really think our relationship can just be cut off like that? Like a broken bone that's still connected by tendons, is there really no feelings left between us? I haven't really looked at you all these years. Let me have a good look at you."

She reached out to touch Chloe's face as she spoke, but Chloe brushed her hand away without hesitation. The pain made Carolina's face twitch. Chloe looked at her coldly, and the chill she radiated made everyone shiver involuntarily. "Don't talk to me about feelings. And don't use your status as my grandmother to pressure me. Whether you're being genuine or fake now, I find it sickening. Carolina, I'll never forgive you. I suggest you stay away from me. Every time I see you, I'm reminded of everything you've done to me in the past. It makes me feel like I was too lenient with you. Don't ruin the little good impression I have left of you from my grandpa."

After saying this, she stood tall, looking down at Carolina, her voice colder than ever. "You really need to understand that the only reason you're here arguing with me is because of grandpa. To be honest, aside from some sympathetic words, he didn't really provide the protection a grandparent should have given me. I've done my duty to him, and even if I don't respect his dignity, so what?"

Carolina turned pale, pointing at Chloe and stuttering, "Good, good for you, Chloe. Your grandpa was always on your side. He even gave you his shares behind my back, and now you're saying this about him, you..."

"So what?" Chloe's voice was chillingly cold, and her gaze on Carolina was like dry ice. "So who should he have given his shares to? Keira?"

Carolina's expression froze, but Chloe sneered and continued, "Don't forget that Keira is Viviana’s child with another man, and you, Carolina, have been raising someone else's kid like a precious gem for over twenty years.d2

“So what if grandpa gave me his shares? As the only true granddaughter of the Summers family, don't I deserve it? He indulged your favoritism towards Keira, allowed you to send me abroad, and let you and Keira pressure me time and time again, colluding with judges, and stealing Keira's recipe. Did he ever truly believe in me, or even defend me? No. Do you think I should be grateful to him?

"Carolina, the only reason I still remember him is because after you all abandoned me, he still had a bit of guilt towards me. Don't think you did me any favors. If it weren't for your stupidity and ignorance, I wouldn't have the experiences I'd rather erase from my life.

“I’m warning you again, stay out of my sight and don’t use your age as an excuse to pressure me. Otherwise, I'll often remember what you've done to me in the past and want to retaliate with equal or greater force. Don't doubt my words. Look at the gap between us now, if I really decide to act, you won't even have the strength or the chance to fight back. Now get out."

Chloe said harshly, her final words cold and forceful. Carolina was stunned by her rebuke, her face turned pale and her lips were trembling, but she couldn't say a word. That "get out" deeply humiliated her.

"I… I am your elder… you actually…" She stuttered, unable to complete a sentence, then said firmly, "No matter what you say, the fact that you're my granddaughter won't change."
