The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1724

Chloe spoke calmly, "I think Ava has already let Grandma know about your pregnancy and they're on their way here. You think Ava is doing this out of kindness? She's just trying to salvage her image in front of Grandma while lowering Grandma’s guard. Once you're in the royal palace, Ava will have you in her grasp.”

Brisa grasped it. If Ava personally took her back, the Queen would certainly appreciate her generosity, easing her vigilance towards Ava. Then, whatever happened was entirely up to Ava.

But since the Queen had decided to take her back to the palace, no matter how much she resisted, she couldn't change this fact. Her face became visibly gloomy. This woman, Ava, was capable of anything, even such underhanded tricks.

Seeing Brisa's pallid face, Chloe's smile faded away. Now, with a baby on the way, Brisa was in a vulnerable position. She had to be on her guard at all times, considering every detail. She was pregnant, not at war. Being in a constant state of high alert might negatively affect the baby. As a pregnant woman herself, Chloe could totally understand Brisa's feelings. "Anyway, you have to go back, your best option now is to go back with me."

Brisa bit her lip, looking unsure and anxious. She didn't trust Ava, but she couldn't fully trust this woman she had just met either.

Chloe understood her concerns, "You can call your husband and ask for his opinion."d2

Brisa nodded slightly, stood up, and walked to the landline in the living room to call William. The phone was quickly answered.

Brisa briefly explained the situation to William, then turned to look at Chloe, looking hesitant and uneasy.

Chloe took initiative, stood up, walked over, and took the phone from Brisa. "Mr. William, this is Chloe."

A deep, serious voice came through the phone, "Shouldn't you call me 'uncle'?"

"It would be appropriate, but we haven't officially met yet. Moreover, I'm shy. I can't call you that."

Jane thought to herself: " Was she learning dad jokes or this just who she was?" What the hell did she mean by shy?!

A deep laugh came through the phone.

"Mr. William, we're discussing a serious matter here."

The laughter stopped, "I don't trust Ava, and I don't trust you either. But you can take Brisa away, but if anything happens to her on the way, I will never forgive you. When I said 'accident,' I meant even if she is slightly hurt, I can take your life. Understand?"

Chloe smirked, a chill in her eyes, "Why would I agree to such a disadvantageous deal? I can't guarantee your wife's safety. If you don't trust me, you can let your wife go with Ava."

Brisa looked anxious and couldn't help but shout, "William."

William remained silent, and the atmosphere was tense. "So young, yet so ruthless and heartless," William's voice was cold.

Chloe didn't mince words, "You're the one being unreasonable."

William responded, "I'm coming back now."

"It's too late. Grandma and the others should be here anytime soon."

William was silent again, the atmosphere oppressive. Chloe took a deep breath and continued, "Can the fact that Ava and I are not on the same side be a good enough reason?"

Without hesitation, William agreed, "Fine, let Brisa go with you."
