The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1754

[Wait a second, Princess Chloe, did you get hacked?]

[Such a sudden post! It's like a bolt from the blue.]

[Hubby? I never thought that our strong, bold, and iron-willed CEO, Star Princess Ms. Summers, would ever use such a term.]

[No, I can't accept this. What about us, your loyal fans? My idol now has a husband? This is madness!]

[But Mr. Harper is just too handsome to ignore. If it were up to me, I'd go bankrupt just to keep him.]

The fans of Chloe were quick to express their shock and excitement. However, it wasn't long before some people started to take a negative turn, both under Chloe's original tweet and the tweets shared by other media accounts.d2

[What's the big deal about being handsome, when you're just a kept man flaunting his privilege?]

[Loaded? Of course, he's loaded. His wife is the Princess of Y Country, a powerful and dominant CEO. Marrying a woman like that, of course, he has money.]

[It seems like that Ms. Summers can't stand people badmouthing her man online. Please, don't be too obvious in your boasting. It's really awkward this way.]

[Yeah, he was just openly kicked out by Presley from the Harper family, and now she's shamelessly boasting about his wealth. It just sounds like showing off to cover up the embarrassment.]

[Ms. Summers, calm down. After the example set by previous failures with Lance, I hope you retain some emotion, so you're not left devastated in the end.]

[Can we all just chill? Actually, I think what Ms. Summers said isn't wrong. Looking at Mr. Harper's appearance, if he were to sell his looks a few more times, wouldn't he be super rich? I wonder, how much would it cost to keep Mr. Harper?]

Chloe initially didn't feel much about the previous comments, watching their ignorant banter from behind her screen, but this last comment made her frown. Sure, praising Damon for his good looks was fine, but suggesting he should sell his looks to other women was absolutely intolerable.

However, before she could even respond, Damon was already on the move. He retweeted the comment directly, with a caption: [You'll never have this chance. You can't afford it, so don't even think about it.]

The internet exploded again.

[The audacity of this man!]

[Don't forget that you're no longer the CEO of the Harper family, and you've been kicked out. All you have left is your looks and you're still so arrogant?]

The re-tweeted user, who apparently believed herself to be wealthy and daring, responded directly: [Didn't Chloe spend two million to keep you? Who are you looking down on? I'll offer five million. How about that?]

Damon responded with a single word: [Tsk.]

One word, yet it conveyed an unprecedented disdain and sarcasm.

[Well, it seems the price has gone up.]

[Indeed, he's with the Princess, what's five million to him?]

[Ten million.]

[Twenty million.]

From then on, Twitter was filled with people making offers, causing a surge in platform traffic. In the end, people even started a bidding war under Damon's tweet. To prove the viability of the bidding, they even brought in the official platform as a witness.

The bids were real and valid. If Damon agreed to the highest bidder, that person would have to pay Damon the corresponding price.

In reality, there were plenty of wealthy people. The bidding stopped at six billion, by a female tycoon from Dubai.

Damon, however, didn't react at all, but then Chloe suddenly spoke up. [Six billion is still far from enough. Why don't you multiply it by a hundred and see if he'll agree then?]

[Crazy? Sixty billion to keep a man?]

Chloe: [Now that I think about it, I really hit the jackpot with my initial two million.]

In the end, the consensus was: Chloe had gone crazy, and she was madly in love with this Damon guy.

The internet was in total chaos.

After causing several hot trends on Twitter, Damon and Chloe went silent again. For a while, Damon's name dominated all domestic platforms. Most, of course, were mocking and negative comments about him.

It wasn't just Presley who couldn't stand it anymore. Even the folks from Greenfield Village were having a hard time. When they found out that Chloe had tweeted and caused such a reaction, Elizabeth went to find Chloe.

Chloe was now worn out by Damon and was lying on the bed, scrolling through Twitter on her phone. Just as she was about to open a new notification, Elizabeth barged in, startling her. She instinctively pulled the blanket closer to her.

Elizabeth, who was much older than Chloe, saw her reaction and a knowing smile crossed her face, causing Chloe to blush.

"What’s wrong?"

Elizabeth laughed, "Nothing, I just saw your tweet."

She paused, then added, "How's your health? I know you young people are full of energy, but you need to be careful. You don’t want to hurt the baby."

Chloe bit her lip, her face turning an uncontrollable shade of red.

"Are you hungry? You've been busy for so long, come downstairs and get something to eat."

Chloe was too embarrassed to say anything.

Elizabeth went downstairs first and ordered the servants to prepare a lot of food for Chloe.

By the time Chloe had taken a quick shower and come downstairs, the coffee table was filled with snacks and fruit. Alyssa looked at her with a delighted expression. "You must be tired, Chloe. Come and eat something."

Chloe's face turned even redder.

This was madness!

This was more embarrassing than the time Damon caught her watching porn. At least then, she was watching other people as the main characters, but now she was the main character. It was utterly mortifying.

"God, didn't I just tell you? Don't be too obvious, otherwise, Chloe will feel shy. Look at you." Elizabeth kindly reminded Alyssa, but it seemed like it would have been better if she hadn't.

"Oh, right, I’ll zip it."

Chloe kept silent.

In the end, Chloe was ushered by Elizabeth to sit down on the couch. Alyssa passed her a piece of cake. Then the Twitter incident was brought up.

Alyssa chuckled, “See? Without the Harper family, our Damon can still provide for his wife, can’t he?”

Elizabeth nodded in agreement, "Indeed, one really needs to have good looks these days."

Alyssa laughed heartily, looking lovingly at Chloe who was adorably eating her cake, and she added, “Chloe, feel free to eat and drink whatever you want. If there’s anything you want, just let us know. Don’t hold back. If we ever run out of money, we can just let Damon go out and sell his good looks. He can still keep you well fed.”

Chloe choked, forcefully swallowing the cake in her mouth, and stared surprised across at Alyssa. "Grandma, you…"

Did she just hear something wrong?
