The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1293

Elizabeth slowly approached her, giving a slight smile, "You wanted me to stay, didn't you? I would stay, as you wish. But now, pack up your stuff and get out of the Harper family!"

Addie glanced nervously at Presley, but seeing him sitting there, lips tightly pressed together, she said, "Aren't you being too harsh?"

Elizabeth turned to look at him, "Presley, you can't bear it?"

Hearing her say 'can't bear it', Presley's face twitched. Finally, he turned to look aside. Addie's face turned completely pale, her voice hurried and tearful, "Presley..."

"Everyone wants to be close to Presley, are you starting to act spoiled?" Elizabeth said.

Upon hearing this, even Royce, who was sitting calmly on the couch, couldn't help but crack a smile. This woman, she never gave up until she got what she wanted. A few words from her could make people suffocate.

Only now did Addie realize that all Elizabeth had said was to make Presley speechless. Even if Presley wanted to defend her now, he couldn't. And now, she had no chance to turn back.

Addie tried to explain, "Mrs. Harper, I was only thinking of what’s best for the family."

"You mean we're all the troublemakers of the family? Without you, we'd all be fighting?" Elizabeth retorted.

"That's not what I meant." Addie said.

"Of course not. On the contrary, how many times have Presley and I disagreed because of you?" Elizabeth said.

Addie was speechless.

Presley next to her pressed his lips again, thinking, indeed there were a few times.

Elizabeth glanced at Presley's expression, then looked at Addie. She sneered, "Get lost!"

Just because she didn't have time to deal with her before, didn't mean she couldn't when she wanted to! She would definitely punish her!

Elizabeth's mood finally improved a little. With her spirit, she started thinking about her troublesome son.

She had to go find him!

Just like Presley said, Damon had been contributing to the Harper family for so many years, only for someone else to possibly reap the benefits in the end. He might be able to accept that, but she sure couldn't!

Why should her hard-earned achievements be taken by someone else?

"Alright, darling, let's go." Elizabeth said.

Presley was speechless. She just kicked his people out, and now she wanted to leave right away?!

Royce could no longer continue discussing the shareholders' meeting with Presley. Presley had been trying to persuade him. And he had been trying to persuade Presley at the same time.

Jacob looked at Beverly and smiled, "Don't worry. This is also an important competition for me, and I'm confident we can win!"

Wendy took in Jacob's confident expression and raised an eyebrow slightly, "What makes you so confident? I heard that you used some tricks to prevent your friend from participating in the competition. Is it really okay to let him participate in such an important competition?"

Jacob sneered, "Tricks? I just put some pressure on him. If he can't handle that, then this industry isn't for him. Survival of the fittest has always been the rule."

Beverly standing next to him didn't show any reaction upon hearing Jacob's words. Because she agreed with Jacob's point of view. So, even though she knew Jacob had used some tricks to prevent Miles from participating in the competition, she still thought it was normal.

Every industry was about survival of the fittest, whether it was her entertainment industry or the fashion industry. Some behind-the-scenes maneuvers were practically an open secret. If they didn't understand these maneuvers, they couldn't succeed based solely on passion, dreams, and hard work.

Jacob was full of confidence, but remembering the lesson from fashion week, Wendy asked one more question, "Can you tell me why you're so confident?"

Jacob smiled, a particularly leisurely ease in his demeanor, "You'll understand the day after tomorrow. Will you come to the scene?"

Wendy gave Jacob a two-second stare-down, but seeing no hint of nervousness or unease on his face, she suddenly broke into a grin. "Alright. Don't let me down, okay?"

The buzz from the engagement party a few days ago was still in the air, and her showing up now was undoubtedly a bit of a gamble. Everything hinged on Jacob pulling off a win and stealing the spotlight.

And to top it off, the sight of Chloe and Starlight International in such a sorry state was just attractive.

Just for that alone, she had to see it with her own eyes!
