The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 749

He was used to people buttering her up over the years, but this attitude he just couldn't stomach.

"Arrogant! So rude at such a young age, no shame at all! I wonder if it's your ignorance or just overconfidence!"

Chloe remained stoic, and upon hearing Joshua's words, she smirked a little.

"Arrogance requires competence."

"Ha... hahaha..." Joshua let out an angry laugh. His icy gaze slowly softened as he looked at Chloe. "To be honest, if you hadn't made any mistakes, I'd quite like your cocky attitude. You're right, there's nothing wrong with being arrogant. It seems you're quite confident in yourself."

Chloe didn't say anything else. She gave Keira a cold glance, smirked mockingly, and then turned to leave.

Watching Chloe walk away, Joshua's eyes filled with a hint of admiration. Keira's gaze, on the other hand, was filled with gloom. Chloe was just too damn smug, always stealing the spotlight.

It wasn't until Chloe's figure was out of sight that Joshua turned his attention to Keira, squinting slightly.

"You mentioned earlier that there might have been some misunderstandings in the past. Tell me, what sort of misunderstandings were there back then?"

Keira's face changed, and she was at a loss for words.

"I... I just didn't want you to hate my sister too much..."

"So, did she steal your formula back then?"

Joshua's gaze was stern. Keira looked up at Lance and found his gaze equally meaningful.

She felt a pang of fear and quickly averted her eyes. "How am I supposed to answer that? She's my sister after all..."

Joshua glanced at her, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

"Do you have any doubts, Joshua? Keira has been your disciple since she was a child. Don't you know what kind of person she is?"

Carolina's words suddenly came from the side, with Michelle and Annarie following behind her.

Keira breathed a sigh of relief, looking gratefully at Carolina. "Grandma, are you alright?"

Carolina waved her hand dismissively. "Just a bit of indigestion, nothing to worry about."

Michelle stood beside Carolina, her gaze filled with doubt and scrutiny as she looked at Keira. Ever since witnessing Keira's work at the competition half a month ago, she had developed a complicated feeling towards her.
