The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1173

"Yes, Alyssa."

No matter how grim Presley's face looked, Hannah obeyed and pushed Alyssa away.

At this point, Royce also got up with Elizabeth. "Let's go."

"What are you doing?!"

Royce ignored Presley's roar and left the dining room. Royce’s assistant was already waiting for him at the entrance. "Sir, madam, the car is ready, shall we leave now?"

"Yes."

Chloe also finished the last spoon of soup at this moment, Damon did not speak, took her hand, and walked towards the dining room exit.

"You…"

"Sir, madam." Nate was also at the entrance of the dining room, seeing the two people coming out, he quickly greeted them quietly.

"Let's go."

"Yes!"

...

Although the atmosphere was chilly, the dining room was still full of people. Now, only Presley, Wendy, and Addie were left.

Watching everyone leaving one after another, Wendy bit her lip tightly, her hands clenched together, her already sickly face now even more distressed.

"Ah…" Addie was even more dumbfounded, trying to speak to persuade them to stay, but before she could say anything, they had already left.

With a pause, she glanced at the grim-faced Presley and the awkward Wendy, and quickly chased after them.

"Damon..."

Ms. Alonso had just moved in with great effort, just to get closer to Damon! Now that Damon was leaving, wouldn't all her previous plans fall through?

Outside the villa gate, three cars were already parked. When Addie chased out and saw this, she felt even more dissatisfied. This was clearly not a decision made just this morning! They must have planned to do so since yesterday when Presley proposed to bring Ms. Wendy to the Harper family.

Knowing that no matter what they said, they couldn't change Presley's decision, they prepared in advance. No wonder they didn't mention a word about Ms. Wendy moving in last night, and they didn't seem to care at breakfast this morning. So this was the plan all along!

Seeing Alyssa about to get in the car, Addie suppressed her anger and quickly walked up. "Ms. Alyssa, what are you doing? Isn't this public denial of Presley's decision, making our family a laughingstock?"

Alyssa cast a sidelong glance at her and snorted, "Laughingstock? Who's the outsider? He is the one who invited the outsider. If he's laughed at, doesn't he deserve it?"

"Grandma!"

"Grandma, I don't mean that at all…"

Saying these words loud and clear, with every word enunciated, made Wendy feel embarrassed.

"Maybe I’m being petty. You recover well here. Where we want to go is our business, it's not for you to decide!

"Don't give me that cold look. Since you say this house is yours to rule, then it's up to you. We give you enough power and space, and no one contradicts you. You should be happy."

This was clearly said to Presley. After she finished, she stood up from the wheelchair with some effort, and stiffly got into the car.

Then she seemed to remember something, glanced at Elizabeth next to her, her plain face became even colder, and said harshly to Presley, "After all this time, you are still so easily blinded by women. It has made me question if I'm actually a good person! Otherwise, why would you end up choosing me! Every time I think about your stubbornness, your taste, and your adamant decisions, I remember all those people who suffered because of your mistakes! Don't forget, it's you who almost cost me the chance to meet Damon!"

Presley's eyes darkened instantly.

Elizabeth buried her face in Royce's chest, sobbing quietly. Royce held her tightly, silently leading her to the car.

Chloe was stunned by Alyssa's words, looking up in disbelief at the man holding her. Was Damon almost not part of this world? Did Elizabeth almost lose him due to Presley's mistake when she was young?

Watching the events of the day unfold, Chloe felt her guess might’ve been right, her eyes turned cold, she took Damon's hand and resolutely led him to the car.

If that was the case, she had even less reason to forgive Presley's decision.
