The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 799

But, after so many years of being together, she had never found a sense of belonging with him. She had never felt the same as she did during the time she had spent with Damon.

Indeed, she had never loved Lance.

"Everything for me?"

She said softly, as if she was seriously considering something.

Lauretta was so nervous she forgot to breathe, staring fixedly at Chloe.

For a long time.

"Even if you're not afraid of Keira, I am. I don't want to waste my time with her."

"No worries." Lance replied calmly.

"I can't accept all your shares. You know, if I buy more than fifty percent of the shares, it will be easy to consider it a hostile takeover. Are you trying to screw me over?"

Then Chloe turned around, looking at Keira with a smile, "Plus, she's the one who pissed me off, not you! How many shares did the Olson family give her as a dowry?"

Keira's eyes widened, "What are you talking about?!"

"I only want her shares."

"You're dreaming!!" Keira immediately shrieked.

She had finally gotten five percent of the shares, how could she give them up so easily?

Chloe sneered, "I have other things to do. You have ten seconds to think. After these ten seconds, even if you kneel down and beg me, I'm afraid it won't help."

Keira glared at her, gritting her teeth, "Impossible!"

But Lance was staring at her, and Lauretta and Grover were also looking at her.

Keira's heart ached. No one was on her side, protecting her or defending her. She had never felt the world was so dark and cruel.

She looked at Lance, tears brimming, "Don't... Lance... Don't push me. Chloe is retaliating against me. She wants to kill me..."

Lance's gaze didn't turn away, "You owe her."

Keira shook her head, "No, no..."

But Chloe started counting down, "10... 9... 8..."

"Chloe, you just want to kill me! You're so ruthless, so cold-hearted!"

"5... 4..."

Fear filled Keira's eyes. She clung to the wall behind her, screaming out, "I won't give it to you!"

"3..."

Suddenly, Lauretta grabbed her hair, "Give it to her!"

"2..."

At this moment, Chloe had already turned around.

"Quick, give it to her! What do you want those shares for? Without Chloe, those shares are worthless!"

Keira's face was extremely pale.

After Chloe said "1", she took a step forward, walking towards the stairs.

"Chloe! Don't go, please... Bitch, kneel down, kneel down!"

Lauretta completely broke down.

Chloe acted as if she hadn't heard.

With a "thud", whether voluntarily or forced by Lauretta, Keira knelt there.

"What's up?"

Chloe didn't stop, stepping down the steps, her high heels making a clear sound in the empty stairwell.

"You're getting engaged?"

Lance followed her closely, unable to hide his anxiety. After all this, he was finally scared. He couldn't accept Chloe belonging to another man.

Chloe sensed the change in Lance's emotions behind her and unconsciously sped up her steps.

"Yes."

"No, Chloe..."

Chloe's simple affirmative answer made Lance's heart jump, and he couldn't help but reach out to grab her.

Chloe's wrist was tightly held. She was startled and tried to shake off his hand.

"Let go!"

"Chloe!"

Her resistance made Lance grip Chloe's wrist even tighter.

Chloe frowned, struggling. Her high heels slipped on the edge of the step, and she suddenly felt a pang of pain. She swayed and fell down the stairs.

"Chloe!"

Lance was incredibly anxious. He held Chloe's wrist and tried his best to pull her.

In the chaos, Chloe's entire body was pressed against the wall, while Lance was holding her wrist tightly, his other hand protecting her waist.

The distance between the two was very close. This was a closeness they had never had since they became adults.
