The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1599

A plea and desperation replaced the malice in Addie's eyes. "Sir, please! Just give me one more chance...I swear, I'll change, I'll correct my mistakes. Please let me stay..."

Presley shut his eyes, his jaw muscles taut with anger. "...Guards! Kick her out!"

Upon hearing the command, the guards waiting outside immediately entered. They hoisted Addie from the ground and started dragging her out. She slumped to the floor, refusing to cooperate. "Please...You can't be so heartless. I've always been loyal to the Harper family..." Her voice faded as she was dragged out of the drawing room and into the courtyard.

The servant, who had been hiding, now emerged, looking rather pleased with herself. She knew Chloe wouldn't turn against someone without reason. If she was going out of her way to deal with Addie, then she must have done something unforgivable.

The drawing room fell silent once again as nightfall arrived.

"You guys can stay. We'll need you to work in the house from now on," the old man said, his voice filled with exhaustion.d2

He slowly rose to his feet, swaying slightly. "I've lost my appetite, so I won't have dinner. You guys go ahead."

Leaving these words behind, he ascended the staircase with the aid of his cane, disappearing out of sight.

Robin's eyes stayed glued to the TV screen, where the news had shifted to the scene of Chloe being ambushed outside her apartment. She was calm and collected, as if she had expected the media's attention.

This woman, did she always remain so composed under pressure, or had she anticipated being cornered by the reporters?

Or perhaps did she know that he was behind the media attention?

Or did she have other suspicions?

He narrowed his eyes, his expression turning grim. In just a day, with Addie as a catalyst, she had expertly played her hand. The faithful old servant who had been by the old man's side for decades, whom even Elizabeth hadn't been able to drive away, was now completely out of favor.

Chloe really didn't leave any room for a comeback. Her actions were even more decisive and ruthless than a man's could be.

Addie was immediately dismissed from the Harper family. After decades of service, she wasn't even allowed to stay the night. She trudged into town with her suitcase, utterly exhausted, but was recognized by a crowd. Their disdainful and contemptuous looks made her lower her head.

"Did she get kicked out?"

"Why feel sorry for her? Better to sympathize with the other servants who were oppressed by her!"

"She lived a luxurious life at the Harper mansion, with a bunch of flunkies at her beck and call, and a hefty salary. You want to feel sorry for her?"
