The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1169

Presley was so mad, he was thumping his cane on the ground, fuming, "But the wounds on that Alonso girl, they were all caused by her. How am I supposed to explain this to the Alonso family?!"

"Explain? I'd like an explanation from them! She was the first one to throw a punch! So she can hit people and we just have to take it, not fight back, not say a word?!" Elizabeth stood firm, not backing down an inch.

Damon and Chloe stood by the staircase, silently watching the tense atmosphere downstairs.

Presley was so furious his hands were shaking. He glared at Elizabeth, his angry face downright terrifying. "You're so ignorant! She's the lady of the Alonso family!"

"Ignorant? That's cowardice! I don't care if she's the Alonso family's lady! Even if she were royalty, it wouldn't make a difference!"

Chloe was at a loss as to why these two were fighting so fiercely, but she just heard Elizabeth saying something about looking after her feelings. Was this about her?

"Mr. Harper, Ms. Chloe. It's Ms. Wendy, Mr. Robin just brought her back from the hospital. She's quite injured but she refused to stay at the hospital. So Presley thought of bringing Ms. Alonso home to take care of her."

The maid spilled the beans, but even she found this decision hard to swallow. She didn't know what had happened in West Valley, but she knew that the Alonso girl had always had her eyes on Mr. Harper.

Everyone knew about this, and now Presley was considering bringing the Alonso girl into his home, under the same roof as Chloe. It sounded wrong just thinking about it.

Upon hearing the maid's explanation, Chloe's expression changed, and Damon seemed to be brimming with fury.

"You're being unreasonable!" Presley pointed at Elizabeth, his chest heaving with anger.

Elizabeth remained calm, "Even if I was reasonable, you wouldn't approve of me! There's no way I'm letting the Alonso girl into the Harper household!"

"You are not in charge of this family." Presley's words echoed through the mansion, his voice nearly shaking the entire villa.

Elizabeth was silent for a moment, then suddenly let out a cold laugh, her face full of sarcasm and a hint of sorrow, her eyes reddening.

"Yes! Of course, you call the shots! You've been saying this our whole life! Fine, I won't say a word now, I'll wait and see when you bring Wendy into the Harper family!"

After saying this, she closed her eyes and turned around, only to see Royce standing behind her.

"Liz."

"Don't touch me!"

Royce tried to embrace Elizabeth, but she took a step back, her eyes filled with tears as she yelled at Royce before running up the stairs, crossing paths with Damon and Chloe on the staircase.

Elizabeth stopped, tears streaming down her face as she looked at the two.

"Elizabeth."

Chloe was taken aback and was about to comfort her, but then she saw Royce catching up from behind, pulling Elizabeth into his arms.

“Did Elizabeth say something wrong? Chloe is the one who's going to marry into our family, and you're inviting that girl into our home. Where does that leave Chloe? Isn't the Alonso family enough of a pain in her back, you want to add more fuel to the fire?"

After Alyssa finished speaking, her gaze turned to Presley, who said, "You're all just adding to my troubles! The Harper family and the Alonso family have always had a good relationship, and it's always been like this. Wendy is a girl I've watched grow up, even if she's made mistakes, I can't just ignore her. If I don't care about her, is that fair?"

Alyssa scoffed, "And are you being fair to Chloe?"

"If she's marrying into the Harper family, she should know better. If it wasn't for her..."

"Enough!" Alyssa interrupted Presley's words, "To swallow her pride for a woman who attacked her and have to live under the same roof with her, is that what you call knowing better? Marrying into the Harper family is a real grievance."

Presley's face turned green with fury after arguing.

Addie, who had been watching from the side, finally spoke up, "Alyssa, it's us who should be looking after Ms. Wendy, and we definitely won't let her cause any trouble for Ms. Chloe. Mr. Presley's right, with Ms. Wendy all by herself in P City, we're the closest she has. If anything comes up, he definitely can't just sit on his hands. Don't worry, I'll take good care of Ms. Wendy."

Alyssa gave her a cold look. Addie's heart tightened and she quickly laughed awkwardly, saying, "Alyssa, it's better not to quarrel with Presley, it's not good for your relationship."

It was like she was speaking for the sake of their harmonious relationship.

Alyssa withdrew her gaze, her expression didn't change, and her voice was calm and steady. "Anyway, I don't agree with letting her into the Harper family, I've made my stand clear, the next decision is up to you. Hannah, let's go back to our room.”
