The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 2

Pain was etched deep in Chloe's eyes.

She couldn't swim and had been underwater longer than Keira. Since she just woke up, no matter how pissed she was, she couldn't muster the strength to vent it.

"You're truly despicable."

Keira chuckled.

"But without me doing this, you'd never get what it means to sacrifice for others, right? You're the one who wouldn't leave Lance Olson alone!" Keira said.

"Keira, everyone knows Lance is my fiancé! You think everyone is a fool?!" Chloe asked.

Keira laughed, swaying with laughter,

"Even now... don't you think everyone is indeed playing the fool?"

Chloe was speechless, just giving her a cold stare.

Keira was right, everyone was indeed acting like a bunch of fools!

They kept believing her unquestioningly despite her dirty tricks.

So stupid, damn stupid!

Including Chloe herself!

"What? Still not convinced? Then..."

Suddenly, Keira's face changed. She looked helplessly at Chloe and reached out to grab Chloe's arm.

"Chloe, it's all my fault.

Don't touch me!"

Sensing her approach and sudden change of expression, Chloe felt utterly disgusted.

She swiftly raised her hand to block Keira's touch.

But Keira stumbled, dropping her thermos. It hit the ground with a thud!

Water splashed everywhere!

Her voice rose,

"Ah! It hurts!"

"Chloe, what are you doing?!"

A stern voice suddenly came from behind.

Chloe whirled around. A figure at the door was racing towards them.

She only caught a glimpse of Lance's ruthless eyes before he shoved her aside.

Chloe, already weak, was pushed against the railing, and pain shot through her waist.

Her face turned even paler. She gripped the railing behind her tightly to steady herself.
