The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1759

"You..."

The audacity of Chloe further ignited Presley's fury.

Meeting the CEO of INT Corporation privately was already a humbling experience for him. He had always hoped that the Harper family would improve, and at least, during his lifetime, he could see the Harper family return to the top of the international stage.

However, his stubbornness was already ingrained in him, so sitting here now was an embarrassing deed that couldn't be publicly acknowledged.

Now that Chloe had caught him red-handed, he felt that he had lost all dignity.

"You... How dare you to follow me around."d2

In Presley's heart, Chloe was either the culprit who caused the chaos in the Harper family, or an outsider who was distasteful. Acknowledging openly that she had been tracking him only further diminished any goodwill he might have had towards her.

Mr. and Mrs. Steve looked at Chloe standing at the door with a puzzled face, curious about the conversation between Presley and her.

Chloe's expression was indifferent. The chill in her eyes was obvious. She wore an expression of mockery and disappointment. "Following someone is wrong, but we're not saints either. We're in no position to criticize others, don't you think?"

Presley's face darkened, "You blatantly admit to tailing me, invading my room, and now you're saying I have no right to criticize you?"

Chloe nodded, staring at Presley's face for a while, then suddenly let out a cold laugh. She pursed her lips, tilting her head slightly in a helpless laugh, then returned her gaze to Presley. The laughter in her eyes gradually turned cold, like frost. "It's just that I still hope to leave some room for us."

Presley's expression changed, "What do you mean?"

Chloe's expression was icy. "I'm puzzled. What are you persisting for? What reason could possibly make you hate me so much? Is it your dignity that has never been defied over the years? So sitting here now, isn't it a hit to your pride?"

"You..."

"Or do you think..." Chloe's voice suddenly rose, cutting off Presley's words, her gaze cold and sarcastic. "Or do you think, Damon would obediently return to the Harper family as you wish after you crush me and leave me with nothing?"

Presley's face stiffened.

"If you really think so, then I feel incredibly sorry for him. He's been by your side for thirty years, yet you understand him less than I, who came out of nowhere and has known him for less than a year. What have you been doing for thirty years?"

Kane and Nathan, after taking a sharp breath at Chloe's words, gradually fell into a solemn silence. Yes, even they knew that Damon was never the type to be easily controlled. If he didn't want to, no one could make him.

So what had Presley been doing all these years?

“Don’t look at me like that, are you angry? You get mad only when I'm right. I'll tell you what you've been doing. You only see how much profit he's brought to the Harper family, whether he's better today than yesterday, and whether he has the ability to elevate the Harper family higher. His existence is entirely based on the Harper family. If he defies you or gives up the Harper family, then he is nothing."

Presley was shaking with rage at Chloe's words, his hands gripping the edge of the table, trembling intensely.

"You're twisting words, spouting nonsense! Do you know what's most important for a man? You made his life worthless, meaningless! It's the Harper family that made him, and you... you ruined him."

"What made him was never the Harper family. His existence is the greatest meaning." Chloe interrupted him again, leaving Presley speechless. However, his face was still filled with anger. He didn't want to acknowledge a single word Chloe said.

Seeing him like this, Chloe let out a cold laugh and sighed. "Fine. I can't outstubborn you. Let's pretend I never said these words tonight. But I hope you understand that tonight, we're giving you one last chance to save your dignity."

Chloe paused, trying to phrase her words as tactfully as possible. But as she spoke, she saw Presley's even angrier expression, and she realized that there was no chance of reconciling the relationship between Presley and Damon.

She was truly helpless against such stubbornness and obstinance.

Yes. She was so spineless that even now, she was still considering compromising with him.

But she had no bargaining chips to compromise with him. To ask her to step back and give up Damon as he wished, it was simply impossible.

She felt as if she had returned to six years ago, when her mother had just left, and she was in a state of confusion and contradiction. She hated the Summers family for their injustice to her mother and herself, yet she didn't want to lose them, as it would mean losing her last form of protection.

She had experienced that once and it was enough. From the moment she and Damon got together, she had said that she wouldn't be his burden and blemish.

Yet she had still caused him to lose too much.

She loved him and wanted him to be the happiest person in the world. She knew that no one and nothing was perfect, but she still wanted Damon to be that perfect person.

She wasn't afraid to compromise with Presley; because for Damon, she thought it was worth it.

However, Presley was like a fortress, offering no chance for compromise.

"Chloe. let's go."

Nathan tugged at her from the side. Although he was initially confused, now, after intruding and stumbling upon Presley and hearing what was just said, he had a rough idea of what was going on.

She was still hoping to mend the relationship between Presley and his brother.

But how could that be? Presley's stubbornness was something that even grandma couldn't change in a lifetime.

Who could have known that the woman who was once the talk of the town, was actually so captivating and fierce.

At this point, Chloe had no intention of staying here any longer. She pursed her lips and, turning to the side, prepared to leave, but a brusque command erupted from behind her.

“Hold it right there!”

Chloe froze, her expression icy.
