The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

“Serves her right, Old Mrs. Summers paid the price this time.”
“That fire was a sight for sore eyes”
“I’m curious, what will that viscount from Y Country do about this? Will he ask Old Mrs. Summers to return the wedding gifts? I think hell would freeze over first!”
“She did take the wedding gifts, and they’re worth a fortune, I bet Rhys will end up marrying Ms. Chloe.”
“But then again, Ms. Chloe did say she won’t marry him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have burned the gifts.”
“I doubt this is the end of it. Can’t wait for the next episode.”
“I absolutely love all the drama about Ms. Chloe.”
With the topic being so hot, many folks were following Chloe’s account. After a while, Nathan commented, “Girl, your follower count is catching up with celebs! Why bother running an entertainment company, just become a star!”
“I can’t sing, and acting ain’t my thing. I’ll pass.”
“That’s right, she can’t do those things.”
Damon said, implying that acting would require interacting with people, male or female, which was a no-go.
“Holy cow…” Nathan suddenly burst out laughing, and Yufia, after glancing at him, was pulled into his embrace.
“Check this out.”
With her lips pursed, Yulia looked at the phone he was holding out. She blinked, then burst out laughing herself.

“What’s up?” Chloe asked, sensing it had something to do with her.
Yulia chuckled, “You got a rap on the knuckles from the fire department. They even invited you to their office for a chat…”
“I got what from the fire department? What’s the deal?” Chloe couldn’t recall having any issues with any government department. It sounded like they were inviting her to cool her heels in the slammer, didn’t it?
“Apparently someone reported you for arson…”
Everyone fell silent. This was awkward. She did technically commit arson.
In no time, the news of Chloe being reprimanded by the fire department for alleged arson and being called to their office sparked another round of heated discussions.
“Ms. Chloe really brought trouble upon herself.”
“She committed arson, and she has to face the music.”
“Don’t sweat it, Ms. Chloe! It’s not arson if you’re burning your own property. It’s your business, not a crimel Chill!”
Chloe was speechless. At that time, she never imagined that the fire department would take notice. She looked at Damon helplessly. “Looks like I have to pay them a visit, remember to bail me out.”
Damon held her hand tightly, “You don’t have to go, I’ll handle this.”
“That’s right, it’s not technically arson, it should be sorted out soon” Elizabeth comforted her on the side.
Chloe quietly nodded, then stood up and said, “Excuse me, I need to use the restroom.
Everyone watched her leave without a word. Having spent so much time with Chloe, they knew her well. If she hadn’t been pushed to a point where she had no other choice, how could she have possibly done something so extreme as burning down the Summers family’s house? That was the place where she had grown up. “It’s really tough for her to deal with such family issues,” Elizabeth sighed, her heart filled with a touch more sympathy for Chloe.
Just then, Damon quietly stood up and left. When Chloe came out of the restroom, she was pulled into someone’s embrace. The familiar fresh scent immediately confirmed the person’s identity. Looking up at the man standing straight against the wall, she raised an eyebrow and asked, “What’s up?”
“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of everything.”
Damon looked into her eyes and said in a calm voice.
Chloe smiled, “I know.”
“After setting the fire yesterday, I knew there would be consequences, but I didn’t think too much about it. I just did what came to mind. At that moment, I felt…especially…fearless. Because I knew, no matter how big a mistake I made, you would help me fix it.”
Really, she wasn’t scared at all at that time.
Damon gently kissed her forehead and smiled. His voice was full of affection and warmth, “I’m always here.”
Chloe laughed, “Did you come here because you were afraid I’d be scared alone?”
“Yes. I was.”
Damon admitted without hesitation, making Chloe’s heart race. But Chloe had a hunch that something was off. “Why do I get the feeling you’ve been on edge lately?”
