The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 747

"Who else in this world could pull off being a champ right from their debut, except for the enigmatic Star?"

Chloe smirked, "Well, you and Keira for sure can't do it."

Annarie's face darkened instantly. Annoying twit. Why didn't she notice her sharp tongue before?

A slight tremor ran through Keira's cheeks, but she still forced a smile. Her voice slightly strained as she said, "You're right, Chloe. After all... there's only one Star in this world."

Chloe gave a small smile, glancing at the watch on her wrist. A seemingly low-key but expensive ring on her slender middle finger reflected the light coming in from the window, dazzling brightly.

Keira instinctively looked at Lance, a hint of nervousness flashing in her eyes. Her grip involuntarily tightened.

Lance quietly watched Chloe. Compared to other women dressed in short skirts, looking cool and sexy, her outfit was conservative. A white chiffon shirt, a black and white printed A-line skirt that reached her knees, showing off her slender waist, and beautiful legs under the skirt. The V-neck of the shirt revealed her fair, beautiful neck and collarbone. A delicate pendant on her collarbone suited her perfectly. Especially her beautiful face, which had light makeup, was enough to attract attention.

Though she was still aloof, her features revealed a woman's unique charm and allure. Especially those beautiful eyes, no longer as cold and ruthless as before, but filled with a vitality and spirit he had never seen before. Bright yet deep, lively yet genuine.

She was no longer the woman she used to be, as subtle changes made her different. More vibrant, beautiful, and captivating.

Her unique temperament was something no one else could replicate. Why hadn't he noticed before...?

He was somewhat distracted, snapping back to reality only when he felt a slight tug on his arm.

Keira felt a pang of dread and unease. Lance's almost obsessive look scared her. She knew what that look meant. Panicked, she looked at Chloe, and with hesitancy, she said,

"Chloe, your ring is beautiful. Did you buy it yourself?"

Chloe paused from checking her watch, looked at the ring on her hand, a small smile tugged at her lips, then she lowered her hand and looked at Keira.

"Isn't a ring supposed to be a gift from a man to a woman? What's the point if a woman buys it herself?"

Even if there was no point, buying it herself wasn’t a bad thing.

Lance's eyes fell on Chloe's ring, his expression stiffened instantly.

The people around also turned their heads when they heard Chloe's words. Lance shifted his gaze to Chloe's face, his eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Are you getting married?"

Chloe casually adjusted her hair, facing Lance and Keira's looks, her eyes filled with mockery.

"Shouldn't the usual sequence be engagement first?"

"When? With who?"

Before Chloe could finish her sentence, Lance cut her off. He walked towards Chloe, his voice low and filled with urgency and anger.

Chloe glanced at the man approaching her; his questioning made her frown deepen.

"That seems to have nothing to do with you."

A pang of pain shot through Lance's heart, his gaze at Chloe somewhat sorrowful.
