The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 971

The maid scrambled away in a panic, tears streaming down her face.

Even Nate, who rushed in upon hearing the commotion, was rooted to the spot, stunned by Mr. Harper’s roar.

Having worked for Mr. Harper for many years, Nate knew that even when a long-anticipated business deal was clinched or a thorny issue resolved, Mr. Harper’s demeanor would at most soften a bit. Even when a long-term project failed, what you got was a colder expression on his handsome face, as he calmly and steadily identified, addressed, and solved the issue.

Nate also knew that Ms. Chloe’s presence greatly influenced Mr. Harper’s mood swings. But now, it seemed he had underestimated the situation. In Mr. Harper’s mind, Ms. Chloe had now become a terrifying entity.

When this just happened, Nate was on pins and needles. He worried that Mr. Harper, torn between irresistible kinship and Ms. Chloe, would be trapped in a dilemma.

But now, a chill rose in Nate’s heart. Ivan’s prospects looked grim. The upheaval in the Harper family…. might have just kicked off earlier than expected.
