The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 935

"The entertainment industry is full of squabbles, and I guess that's why Ms. Alonso chose to take over entertainment companies first. I run an entertainment company, and so does she. I guess that’s the only connection we have, and it's probably a competitive one. As for Damon, he's not an issue. He's my fiance, and I think it's pretty clear whose side he's on." Chloe said.

Some of Wendy's close friends were discontented, "Why does it have to be a competition? It could be a collaboration, like your company providing the male lead, and Wendy's company providing the female lead. Isn't that a win-win?"

Chloe just laughed silently, shaking her head helplessly. Those rich girls were just too sheltered, too naive.

The Alonso family had so many businesses, but they chose to take over the entertainment company first. It was pretty obvious she was targeting her. From the beginning, they’d made it clear she was the competition, and she was supposed to be friends with them?

Was she stupid?

"What are you laughing at?"

Chloe didn't reply.

Damon pushed a plate of cut steak in front of her. Chloe glanced at him, gave a small smile, and gestured for him to take away her leftover steak.

She didn't mind doing things like this for him.

Wendy watched them coldly, when her phone rang.

"Is it ready?" She finished, looked around the venue with a frown, then turned to look at Chloe, whispering, "Let her in in five minutes."

Then she whispered another acknowledgment before hanging up.

She picked up her glass of wine, took a sip, and walked over to Chloe, laughing, "Chloe, I remember Katie was with you all day, didn't she say she was coming to the banquet today? How come you're here alone? She's not chickening out, is she?"

"She probably isn't. It's her first time at a banquet, she might be hiding in some room, scared." Chloe said.

Wendy breathed a sigh of relief, "When do you think she'll come down then? It'd be pointless if she only showed up after the banquet ended."

"I'm not sure." Chloe kept her head down, eating the steak Damon had cut for her, with a subtle smile always hanging on her lips.

Wendy, seeing she couldn't get any information, just frowned, glancing at her watch. Something occurred to her, and she glanced at Chloe's wrist. Indeed, she was wearing the watch she'd bought yesterday. She smirked, looking at Damon's wrist, her smile freezing.

The watch he still hadn't taken off was...

Just a pair of watches Chloe casually bought, and Damon had actually worn it. Wasn't he afraid it would cheapen him?

She walked back to her seat grinding her teeth, downed the wine in her glass and immediately asked for another.

Grace, seeing her state, held her wrist, "Be careful."

Wendy rubbed her forehead, gritting her teeth, her eyes full of cold light.

Five minutes later, there were gasps from the crowd.

"That dress is beautiful."

"What a bold color."

"Such innovative design."

At this point, Nathan beside her tugged at her sleeve, whispering, "Hey, things aren't looking too good, are they? This woman, she's pretty. And Katie being late in that condition, wearing the same dress as this woman."

Chloe furrowed her brows, leaning closer to Nathan, "Do you think Jennifer looks pretty today?"

Nathan felt uneasy, "She has a great figure."

Chloe gave him a cold glance, scoffing, "Men."

"Yes, I am a man." But seeing Chloe's serious expression, Nathan added, "But I think she's just average, too voluptuous. She looks a bit overweight. Not like…"

An image of a cold but gentle face flashed in his mind, Nathan shut his mouth, pointing at Chloe, "Not like you guys."

The image he saw this morning was much more appealing than Jennifer.

Chloe frowned, warningly looking at him, "You better be thinking about Yulia."

Nathan quickly pulled back his hand, nodding like a bobblehead, "Of course I'm thinking about her! Who else do you think I'd be thinking about?!"

Off to the side, Damon watched as Chloe turned her back to him to whisper with Nathan, his face darkening, "What are you two yammering about?"

Chloe and Nathan both froze, their eyes swinging to Damon.

Chloe, being closest to Damon, noticed his sour expression. She hesitated for a moment, then walked over to him and murmured, "Nathan said he's got Yulia on his mind."
