The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1590

Questions bubbled in her mind, but she still needed to clean up this mess. Following the trail of her footprints, Addie navigated through the labyrinth of the grand Harper mansion, and finally arriving at the door of Elizabeth. What on earth could this woman be doing in Elizabeth’s quarters? Especially considering the she rarely resided here and had very few belongings within.

But Elizabeth was particular about her possessions, especially her blueprints, which were so precious that even a fleeting glimpse was considered too much of a luxury.

And then Addie remembered the blueprints she'd seen Chloe holding earlier. Had Elizabeth not informed her about the taboo? She had dared to enter Elizabeth’s room?

Staring at the vacant room and the rag in her hand, Addie gritted her teeth, a plan forming in her mind.

When Robin returned, he found his father slumped in the living room sofa with a look of displeasure etched on his face. Hands folded in front of her with head bowed, Addie portrayed an image of sincere humility.d2

"What happened?" Robin asked, approaching.

As Addie looked up at him, she quickly replied, "This afternoon, Ms. Summers barged in here and took away all the housemaids."

Robin narrowed his eyes, "You're saying she just showed up to take our staff? Addie, she's a formidable businesswoman. She wouldn't waste her time on trivial matters."

As he mused, sinking into the sofa, Addie's panicked expression didn't escape his sight. "Tell me, why did she come here?" Robin asked.

Addie shook her head, "I honestly don't know. I was directing the maids to clean because they were careless, and in the middle of it, she just barged in."

"Just like that?" Robin interrupted Addie, growing impatient. Addie shuddered and quickly lowered her head.

Suddenly, she remembered something and quickly blurted out, "I recall being puzzled when she came here without meeting Mr. Presley and went straight to Mrs. Norwood-Harper's room."

Robin's furrowed brows tightened at Addie's words as he sank deeper into his thoughts, his eyes thoughtful.

Addie, not understanding, quickly confirmed, "Yes, I saw her coming down from upstairs with some blueprints. I knew how much Mrs. Norwood-Harper treasured them."

A slow smirk spread across Robin's face, "I see."
