The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1182

Tucked under a massive shooting range in West Valley, there was a hidden underground dungeon.

From the outside, it looked like any other flatland building, but it was nestled in the back hills, lower than the main entrance.

This was where vehicles came and went in secret, and where outsiders were absolutely forbidden.

Wendy stood at the entrance, her heart filled with anxiety. Ever since she left the Harper family in Nate's car, her eyes had been covered. She'd tried to fight it, and Nate had even taken off the blindfold once. But that had caused the car to stop.

"If you're not willing to cooperate, Mr. Harper might not be able to see you. Ms. Alonso, please get out of the car."

In the end, to see Damon, she let Nate blindfold her again.

It wasn't until they reached their destination that her eyes were uncovered. Looking at the completely unfamiliar surroundings, she felt uneasy and anxious. But in front of Nate, she kept her composure, acting like the sophisticated lady she was supposed to be.

If Nate didn't know her so well, he might have been fooled by her act. In the past, like most people, he'd assumed she would be the woman to end up with Damon. This wasn't a strong assumption, because he figured that even if Wendy did end up with Damon, it would only be because Damon had no other choice. Perhaps it was because Damon didn't like women that Nate had this misconception.

But now, it seemed that the only person who had been clear-headed all along was Damon. Maybe he'd seen through Wendy's true nature from the start, and never thought about ending up with her.

Nate, on the other hand, obviously had a much shorter sight than Damon. No, maybe Ms. Alonso was just too good at pretending.

Otherwise, how could she have fooled so many people?

It wasn't until he met Chloe that he gained a deeper understanding of her. Ms. Alonso was always two-faced. On the surface, she was the graceful Alonso family heiress, but deep down, she was far from noble.

Chloe's appearance was just a catalyst that forced Wendy's true nature to surface.

She was full of superiority, arrogant, dismissive, jealous, cunning, childish, foolish... All of these traits combined to create the person she was today.

She looked down on everyone else, so she believed Chloe wasn't good enough for Damon, always trying to undermine her. Yet every time, she failed to achieve her goal in a foolish manner. She had gambled her reputation and was completely oblivious to it.

Sometimes he really didn't understand how, after all the disgraceful things she'd done, she had the nerve to appear in public again. Why did she assume people would choose to forget the past, stop holding her accountable for her previous actions, and forgive her?

Her arrogance, conceit, jealousy, cunning, childishness, and stupidity were all laid bare, and the root of it all was her baseless sense of superiority!

As the heir to the Alonso family, these two identities indeed gave her a sense of superiority. But her superiority complex was simply annoying.

He wished that one day, someone would trample it underfoot!

"Nate, where are we? Is Mr. Harper really coming here?" Wendy asked in a genteel and ladylike tone, but her voice was surprisingly calm.

"Damon...when Nate took me away today, Grandfather was also there..." The underlying meaning of her words was to remind Damon that he couldn't harm her because his grandfather wouldn't allow it.

Damon understood. He stopped, turned to face her, his tall figure looking down at her.

Wendy held her breath, not daring to look up at him.

"This time... I won't touch you." His voice was so low, the tone so soft, that even though his words lacked emotion, they still sounded captivating and gentle.

Wendy was thrilled, and she immediately looked up at him, her eyes filled with excitement and joy.

"Follow me."

But she didn't see Damon's face because he had already turned his head and was walking towards the entrance.

She hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed. Nate followed closely, his lips tightly closed, not saying a word. Everything that needed to be said had been said over the phone, there was no need to say anything else now. He was also glad that he had already explained everything over the phone. If he had to say it face to face, he probably wouldn't be able to handle the indescribable pressure from Damon!

Nate took the lead, activating the voice lock. The thick steel door, after getting the go-ahead from the smart system, slowly swung open to both sides. They breezed through a couple of security checkpoints, finally landing in a humongous, wide-open room.
