The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1243

Stanley’s gaze lingered on Wendy’s face for a moment, Grace hastily shielding it with her hand.

“What the hell are you guys up to? If you’re planning any funny business, the Alonso family won’t let you get away with it!”

Stanley frowned. “Relax, your daughter is so ugly, she can’t even hold a candle to Chloe’s toenail! Stop daydreaming. What guy would be interested in her?”

“Hah…” Ned couldn’t help but chuckle. Sometimes hanging with Stanley meant not only dealing with his moody, hot–tempered nature but also enduring his sudden, cold jokes.

Stanley shot him a look. “What’s so funny?”

Ned nodded. “I mean, I think even a madman wouldn’t wanna… touch a toenail.”

Stanley raised an eyebrow. “Fair point.”

Wendy was about to blow her top! She was less than Chloe’s toenail? She was a lady of the Alonso family!

“No wonder Damon chose Chloe.” Stanley shook his head, then got into his car.

It wasn’t until the cars had slowly driven away that Grace and Wendy stood up.

“Where did this bully come from? Figures that anyone associated with Chloe is no good.” Grace was so mad she could chew nails! In just a few days, she had come to loathe Chloe to the bone.
