The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

“I didn’t want to argue with you, not because you’re tough, but because I didn’t want to stoop to your level. To see you as an important opponent would be beneath me,’ she said, narrowing her eyes in a dangerous glint, an aura of coldness enveloping her.

“But understand this, my patience is not a free pass for your arrogance. Where do you get off acting so high and mighty?”

Chloe glanced at Stephen and Rupin who were standing off to the side and smirked, “Is it because of you two?”

Rupin looked obviously uncomfortable while Stephen’s face turned ashen.

Stephen’s mouth twitched, “Our Dudley family would never accept such a woman. It’s impossible.”

Stephen’s eyes twitched violently. He opened his eyes wide, pondering, “You mean to… have Rupin marry this woman?”

Chloe smiled subtly, not saying anything.

Stephen’s face changed and he wobbled slightly.
