The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 781

Chloe was quickly surrounded by her bodyguards. Their hands were resting on their belts, looking like they were ready to draw their guns any second.

She had a bad feeling about all this. Through the human wall formed by her bodyguards, she saw a familiar figure step out from a black car parked ahead, making her face turn pale instantly.

Ned took two more steps forward.

The bodyguard protecting Chloe asked in a deep voice, "Who are you?"

Ned stopped in his tracks, "I'm looking for Ms. Chloe."

Chloe's gaze fell on the black car behind Ned, feeling a chill creeping up her spine.

"What do you want with me?" Chloe took a few steps forward but stayed close to her bodyguards.

A flicker of surprise crossed Ned's eyes when he saw Chloe, but it was quickly replaced by a serious expression, "The boss wants me to take you home."

Chloe flinched at those words, "I AM going home now."

"No, he wants you to come back to where you used to live." Ned said.

"Ned, I'm going home now. I'll visit you guys some other time when I'm free." Chloe's tone was firm.

"The boss insisted that I bring you back. If you refuse to come with me, I'm afraid I have to be a little rude." Ned said.

As soon as Ned finished speaking, dozens of men quickly got off from the other cars parked nearby. Chloe's bodyguards also quickly drew their guns. In no time, both sides were in a standoff, guns drawn!

Chloe looked up, giving the immobile black car across from her a cold stare, "What the hell do you want?"

There was a moment of silence from inside the car, then a calm voice came out, "Chloe, you've been away from home too long. It's time to come back."

"I have my own life now." Chloe said.

"Your own life?" The man slowly repeated Chloe's words, then his voice echoed again, "You said the same thing when you left three years ago. But what have you made of your life? After three years, you're still alone."

Chloe clenched her fists, fell silent for a while, then said, "You must have seen the live broadcast. My new product is about to launch back home. I have a lot of things to do."

Again, the man fell silent for a long time, causing Chloe's heart to race with anxiety.

She knew that a smart man like Stanley, couldn't be easily fooled.

After a while, he finally spoke again, "Chloe, don't try to deceive me, or I'll get angry."

Chloe let out a sigh of relief, "Okay."

"If you dare to deceive me, I will punish you with code." Stanley said.

Chloe's temples throbbed; her mind suddenly filled with lines of code. She shook her head violently, trying to shake off these thoughts, and closed her eyes uncomfortably.

Her reaction seemed to satisfy the man in the car immensely.

He started laughing, "Still the same old Chloe. Nothing can stump you except for this!"

Chloe kept a straight face, not saying a word.

"Alright, I'll let you go back. But you can only work. Don't try to deceive me. Otherwise, I don't know what I'll do." Stanley said.

Chloe lowered her head, "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving now!"

She didn't care about his words. He was always busy, only remembering her when he felt like it. Before long, he might forget about her existence in this world.
