The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1688

Not until Chloe’s shaky legs found their grounding did Damon let her go. Damon lowered his head to look at the

wrinkled front of his shirt and pursed his lips. Had she not clung to his shirt from the moment those two women

appeared, he would have seriously considered throwing them, along with that driver, off the cliff nearby

Chloe slowly approached Barbara and Becky, swaddled in a cozy down jacket that seemed warm even to the naked

eye. Yet, her slightly bulky figure, inching closer to them, stirred a sense of unease within the two women.

“What are you up to?” Becky leaned towards Barbara for support

Chloe stopped a few steps away from them, wearing a smirk that didn’t quite reach her eyes. An icy glint in her

eyes was impossible to hide.

What brings you here?” Chloe retorted, her gaze sweeping over them with a clear hint of mockery c2

“Of course we “Before Becky could finish her sentence, Barbara suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled her back,

causing her to stagger.

“Nothing. Becky has a bad temper and it gives our mother headaches, so I brought her out for a breather”

Chloe let out a scoff, nodding slightly. “Is that so“”

She took a look at Barbara and tightened her grip on her jacket. You two sure know how to have a good time,

coming to the middle of nowhere for a

stroll

Becky failed to understand Chloe’s sarcasm, “What, we can’t? What does our stroll have to do with you?”

In that case, why ask me what happened?”

Barbara was taken aback. You you are really ungrateful

Chloe took a deep breath, her face relaxing into an indifferent expression. “After all these years, you two have been

taking care of Grandma I should be thanking you I have no right to question where you go for a walk. I’m just

curious. You came to such a place for a stroll in the evening, and dressed so lightly. You should take care to keep

warm”

Upon hearing this, both Barbara and Becky stiffened, their faces turning red in embarrassment. They both

instinctively hugged themselves, their eyes darting around nervously

Nate, standing beside them, scanned them with a glance before letting out an undisguised chuckle.

“You…you dare laugh at us?” Becky flared up.

Nate replied nonchalantly “You’re overthinking. I was merely admiring how beautiful you two princesses look

tonight.”

Barbara bit her lip, her face tensed

Both Barbara and Becky were dressed in elaborate gowns, their makeup perfectly done, and their hair carefully

styled. Their jewelry was clearly hand–picked from a selection of the finest. Under the headlights of several cars,

the jewelry sparkled and shone as brightly as the stars twinkling

overhead, extravagant and luxurious

Given the winter season and their location by the sea, no person in their right mind would choose to wear such thin

gowns to such a place for a stroll Even if they were in the car, no one would dress like this Unless they had been

prepared all along.

Chloe didn’t buy their excuse of going for a stroll. As for their actual intention.

She let out a cold laugh. Even if she hadn’t died in the accident earlier, she would have been injured to some

extent, or at least been left disheveled. Appearing at the Duke’s banquet in such a state would have made her the

laughingstock of the evening. This would have brought disgrace to the royal family

They had dressed up like this to come here, clearly expecting her to have been injured or even killed in the

accident. Their real aim for tonight was to replace her

A stroll How ridiculous

“We’re not cold. Mind your own business.”

Chices words had made even Becky realize her underlying meaning

Chloe responded with a faint smile, Fair enough. In that case, I won’t disturb your stroll. It’s getting late and I need

to attend Ms. Dubonnet’s birthday party Goodbye”

Upon hearing this, both Barbara and Becky’s faces darkened significantly, looking indescribably unpleasant and

grim. Seeing the two cars in front had stopped, they both assumed that Chloe had met with an accident as per their

plan

Excited, the two of them got out of the car without thinking, not even noticing the cold air that hit them. When they

saw Chloe standing there unharmed, they were disappointed and couldn’t accept the reality

Now that Chloe had pointed out their inappropriate attire they realized how conspicuous they were

Chloe had seen through their scheme, and Barbara felt extremely embarrassed She spoke nonchalantly, the smirk

in her eyes making Barbara feel more humiliated

Ignoring Barbara and Becky, Chloe turned to Nate and said, “First, get the driver under arrest for me. After i attend

Ms. Dubonnet’s birthday party, i take him to have a serious conversation with Grandma about his misconduct

At this point, the driver finally reacted, looking towards Barbara and Becky with a panicked expression. His plea for

help was notably apparent.

Barbara clenched her fists, hesitated for a moment, then said to Chloe Chloe, the driver is after all a dedicated

driver for the royal family. He is still wearing our royal uniform. Only we, the royal family members, have the right

to purush him

If he has done something wrong or his skills are not up to par, we can retrain him or terminate his employment.”

“Besides, he’s just a driver. There’s no need to bother Grandma and upset her over such a minor issue. Let’s do this

instead, if you trust me, hand him over to me. I will question him thoroughly. If the situation is indeed serious…”

“Sorry,” Chloe cut her off, “I don’t trust you.”

Barbara didn’t know how to respond.

Becky had always seen Barbara being admired and idolized since they were kids. Barbara was used to hearing

praises and compliance. Never had she seen Barbara being left speechless by someone’s retort like today. That was

brutally blunt.

Even without looking at Barbara’s expression, Becky could gauge just how grim her face had become at this

moment.

Ever since Barbara showed up, the driver had gradually calmed down. He knew Barbara would do everything within

her power to save him.

Although Chloe was the true princess, the two youngest princesses here had been the Queen’s favored ones in Y

Country for many years. Chloe should at least respect that. Regardless of the circumstances, she should extend

some courtesy to Princess Barbara. But to their surprise, she didn’t give an inch.
