The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1666

"No, it can't be!"

"Why was I able to enter this territory so easily? Why was I taken away by the leader and now able to stand before you? Why was it that I could come straight here?"

Chloe's words hit Wendy like a punch in the gut. Each question was a testament to Damon's undeniable authority in this place.

Chloe gave a wry smile, moving towards Yasmine to check for any injuries. Yasmine grabbed her hand, shaking her head to indicate she was unharmed. Only then did Chloe relax. Standing upright, her back turned to Wendy, who was reeling from the shock of reality.

"Still want to live in denial?"

Wendy frantically shook her head. "I don't believe it. You're all lying to me! You're all liars! Damon... he was clearly thrown out by the Harpers, and he has nothing now. How can he be the leader here?! I don't believe it!"d2

The front door hung open, and the early morning wind blew in like icy daggers. Wendy shivered involuntarily, and her pale lips were trembling uncontrollably.

Chloe took a deep breath, slipping her hands into her down jacket pockets. She slowly turned around, her gaze indifferent as she stared at Wendy.

"Do you know why I'm telling you all this?"

Wendy didn’t say anything, just stared at her fiercely.

"The truth is the truth, whether you believe it or not," she said, closing the distance between them. Her aloof expression sent an icy chill down Wendy's spine. "Wendy, you've always been a thorn in my side, constantly testing my patience with your shameless actions. But I never let it get to me because I had my own life to live. I didn't need you tainting it. I even considered avoiding you at all costs. Like, do you really think anyone would be afraid of a pile of crap? It's just unpleasant to be around...”

Wendy's eyes were practically bulging with hatred.

Chloe gave a faint smile, continuing in her indifferent tone, "There's another reason... I knew that being alive and living a life worse than death was a better punishment for you. Seeing me happier than you, seeing everyone else living better lives than you, is the perfect punishment. But you crossed the line when you targeted my mother. From that moment, I knew... you deserved to die..."

Finishing her words, she paused for a moment, then took another step closer to Wendy.

"What are you doing?!" Wendy, like a startled bird, began to back away at Chloe's approach.

But Chloe suddenly gripped her wrist tightly, and slammed her against the wall.

Chloe moved closer, her legs pinning Wendy's. Their bodies were almost touching, the closest they had ever been since they met.

Damon's expression shifted slightly. His brow furrowed in a frown. Despite his calm exterior, the underlying agitation was palpable to those nearby.

Yasmine gave him a sidelong glance, and Stanley also looked at him with confusion. Nate just stood silently by, scratching his head. He wanted to cover his eyes but thought it might be too obvious. He was worried about potential repercussions from his boss.

Damon was really a man who could be jealous of a woman. But at this moment, Wendy... was technically Chloe's love rival, right?

And Chloe with her rival...

Nate glanced at the scene unfolding before him, and his mind conjured up some inappropriate images.
