The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1672

Chloe, sitting beside Damon, furrowed her brows at his words. "What are you guys talking about?"

Damon remained silent.

However, by the next day, Chloe had her answer.

Having returned to the city the day before, they rested for one night in their apartment, only to be summoned to the Harper's Mansion because of the presence of Cole and Grace. Afterwards, Elizabeth's insistent calls had them head straight for Greenfield Village.

Back at Greenfield Village, Elizabeth once again scrutinized Chloe thoroughly, ensuring she was indeed unharmed. Only then did she put on a stern face and give Chloe a good scolding.

Because of Chloe's obstinacy and her decision to leave without informing Elizabeth, she silently accepted the reprimand, occasionally nodding in admission of her mistakes.d2

Yasmine, who was also present, remained indifferent despite Elizabeth's scolding towards her daughter.

After Chloe's acceptance of her mistakes, Elizabeth finished venting her anger. With no new words to express her frustration, she finally turned her gaze to Damon, who had been silent all the while. "You! You’re always leeching off Chloe, acting like a kept boy, and disappearing when you're needed the most! Such a major incident occurred, and you didn’t even come back to help Chloe. Where’s your professional ethics?"

Chloe couldn't help but twitch at her words.

Professional ethics? Did a kept boy need to possess professional ethics?

Besides, he hadn't taken anything from her. This time her mother was kidnapped, she got to realize his position at the border and his status in the world. She really didn't have the ability to maintain such a top-tier pretty boy.

Facing Elizabeth's reprimand, Damon remained silent, enduring any and all accusations without a word or retaliation.

Because Damon was her son, Elizabeth was more harsh towards Damon than Chloe.

"You're so lucky, to have Chloe as your wife. You have her to provide for you and even bear your children. Look around the world, and tell me, which man is more lucky than you? You don't know how to cherish what you have, do you? Do you have to wait for another man to take your place before you regret it? Men... You're all the same!"

Elizabeth's words seemed to hit a nerve with Damon because his expression was gradually darkening. Chloe watched anxiously from the side. "Damon... is not that kind of person... He has his matters to deal with, besides, none of us could have expected such a thing to happen. He still came over in the end..."

"Don't speak for him. The fact that I didn't hit him today is because I'm kind. I don't want any excuses. If he wasn't by your side when you were sad and lonely, it's his fault! With all these excuses, all the men in the world would be good guys! And don't interrupt when I'm scolding him. If you keep spoiling him like this, be careful, because you'll regret it someday!"

Chloe closed her mouth. Not because Elizabeth's words threatened her, but because her tone and expression at the moment were serious.

Elizabeth was seriously angry.

The look on Damon's face was enough to tell that he was not in a good mood. Everyone was wary, but Elizabeth was the only one who could freely scold him. Damon's enduring silence was a testament to Elizabeth's stern position.

Finally, lunchtime came, and the scolding ceased. Elizabeth waved her hand and shouted for everyone to eat. This marked an end to the matter.

Due to Elizabeth's temper, Chloe ended up eating whatever was served to her. Seeing her eat so heartily, Elizabeth's mood improved slightly. She no longer targeted the couple but turned to Yasmine, who was eating elegantly beside her. With a bright smile, she moved closer to her.
