The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 863

Chloe was holding a plate of fruit, casually chatting to Nathan who was trailing behind her.

"That Elsa, she's got a bit of a name for herself in the entertainment industry, didn't expect her to be with that..."

"Felix." Nathan took over in a low voice, "The Larkin family and the Baker family both have some clout in politics. Elsa’s dad outranks the Larkins at the moment, so it's probably a political marriage. So annoying."

Chloe raised an eyebrow, "How so?"

"Friends can be the biggest source of trouble. The Larkins don't have any real talents at the moment, but they've got a lot of connections. They've done a lot of arrogant stuff with the help of the Harpers. Now they're marrying into the Bakers. Who knows what kind of mess they're gonna cause? I think the Bakers are just after the Larkins’ connection to the Harpers, and the Larkins are just trying to secure their position in politics. If anything goes wrong, we will have to deal with all the trouble. So annoying, we aren't their stepping stones!"

Chloe looked up and saw Felix approaching them, a glint in her eye.

"So you're saying, the Harpers want to ditch the Larkins?"

"That's right, it might be a bit shady, but the Harpers have been good to them for years. But they aren't idiots. They must have seen it coming, hence the marriage to the Bakers."

Chloe cracked a small smile, watching Felix with his charming smile approaching, she turned to Nathan.

"Nathan, do you think your brother likes me?"

Nathan was left in a fog by Chloe's question; he knew there must have been more to it.

But just the question itself... Well, duh!

"Of course he likes you. We're brothers, aren't we?! Do you know how many times he's punched me because of you? He's such a jerk!"

Chloe had a twinkle in her eye and lowered her head, not planning to sit down.

"Ms. Chloe, is this all you're having for dinner?"

Felix stood in front of Chloe, his smile as warm as a spring breeze, charmingly lovable.

Chloe didn't respond, instead, it was Nathan who spoke discontentedly, "What's with the 'Ms. Chloe'? It's future Mrs. Harper."

Felix just smiled faintly. "Isn't it the future? It's not now. Who knows what will happen in the future?"

"Felix, why does that sound so annoying?" Nathan frowned. His usually playful demeanor had become more restrained.

Felix quickly apologized, "Alright, alright, my bad!"

Chloe didn't mind, "Don't worry, it's just a title. Call me whatever you find convenient. No need to change it later, too much hassle."

Felix paused slightly, Chloe's words sounded a bit good, but also a bit not so encouraging. He felt there was more to her words.

Chloe leaned against a table nearby, playing with the fruit in her hand.

“Mr. Larkin, do you need something?”

Her smile was utterly natural. Having been in PR for many years, she prided herself on being good at this.

Felix shook his head, “Nothing in particular, it’s just your first time out, I just wanted to get to know you better.”

Get to know her?

Even though Chloe was somewhat disgusted, she still managed a faint smile. "Thank you."

Felix responded with a soft smile.

"Who is that woman?"

"Doesn't everyone know Felix is Elsa’s fiancé? How can she be so shameless?"

"Look at her...she's even smiling at Felix, shameless!"

"And why is Nathan standing by her side? From her look, there's nothing outstanding about her!"

"You might not understand, but those seemingly conservative, low-profile women often know best how to attract men. They're full of tricks!!"

"Wendy, who the hell is she, and why would you hang out with such a shameless person?"

Wendy bit her lip slightly, "We're all friends here, and friends of friends. We're just together for some fun."

"You've got some nerve. Look at you now, even Elsa’s fiancé is almost swooped by her."

Wendy looked at Elsa somewhat apologetically, "I'm sorry, Elsa. I think there might be some misunderstanding here..."

Elsa’s face was growing darker by the minute, her eyes full of hatred, as if she wanted to rip Chloe into pieces!

She gritted her teeth in anger and turned towards Chloe and Felix's direction.
