The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1675

If Ava and her allies had the power to hire outlaws to do their dirty work, then surely they knew about the deaths in the Alonso family. They were here not only to attend the funeral and deal with the media but also to sow discord.

If Phoebe had one more enemy, it would save Ava and her mother a lot of trouble.

When it came to ruthlessness, Ava was a master at it. She had too advantage of Wendy till she died, and was now considering using Phoebe.

If Wendy couldn't handle Ava, what hope did Phoebe have, being so innocent and guileless?

Was Ava still plotting to find people to deal with them?

Chloe was three months pregnant, and her belly was just beginning to show. After confirming that she wasn't simply gaining weight, Chloe found her growing belly fascinating.

During her video calls with Rose, she'd spend ages just pointing her phone's camera at her belly. “Look, my belly's popped. What about yours? Show me!”

Rose lifted her shirt to reveal her belly, but there was no significant change. “That's strange, I'm a few days ahead of you. Why is your belly showing and mine isn't?”

Chloe grinned smugly. “I'm carrying twins.”

“Get lost! So what if you're having twins? Your daughter will marry my son anyway.”

Chloe accepted this without argument and looked at Rose through the camera, reminding her, “Take care of yourself. Nothing is more important than your child...”

“You've got some nerve saying that!” Rose retorted. “Who was it that insisted on going to the border? Do you have any idea how dangerous it is there?”

Chloe sighed, Rose always knew how to hit where it hurt.

After enduring Rose's scolding, the call ended. Chloe had wanted to tell Rose about her plans to go to Y Country but ended up keeping it to herself.

In order to make her departure seem natural, Chloe stayed with Yasmine for a few days. Yasmine had been kidnapped not long ago, so if Chloe left immediately, the sharp-minded Yasmine would likely guess her reasons for going to Y Country.

As the weather grew colder and New Year's Day approached, Chloe finally used the excuse of needing to try on her coronation dress to tell Yasmine and Elizabeth about her plans to visit Y Country.

Since Damon, the “kept boy,” was accompanying her, Elizabeth didn't object. She watched Chloe with a detached expression. Her thin lips were holding back many words.

In the end, she simply told Damon to, “take care of Chloe.”

For Damon, this was a given. Chloe didn't say anything further.

Ever since Yasmine's kidnapping, Boyd had been even more protective of her. Despite Greenfield Village already being heavily guarded, he still had a large number of men stationed around the area. Whenever Yasmine left the house, Boyd would arrange for at least ten men to follow her overtly. He himself was always by her side.
