The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1070

Chloe slowly turned her head, her gaze drifting over Damon, who was still eating gracefully, and settled on Nate standing at the door. Her eyes blinked rapidly. She didn’t say anything.

Nate’s serious and slightly melancholic eyes also flickered. His gaze swept over the few people at the dining table. Everyone at the table was also staring at him. He felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

Royce put down his cutlery, his eyelids slightly drooping as he looked at him, “Nate, are you staging a rebellion?”

Nate was taken aback and quickly looked at Damon, who was eating leisurely. “Sir…the…the criminal…escaped?” Damon also put down his cutlery and calmly wiped his mouth with a napkin.

“Criminal?!”

Elizabeth suddenly shouted, “It’s just us here. Where’s the criminal?!”

Nate’s hand trembled slightly, “But Mr. Harper said…he…was…threatened…like he was kidnapped…”

Everyone turned their gaze to Damon. Elizabeth’s eyes were wide, “Are you…are you saying that I’m the kidnapper?!”

Damon didn’t respond.

“Then what do you mean?” Elizabeth pointed at the bodyguards around her, glaring at Damon, her eyes reddening with anger.

Royce’s face darkened at the sight of his wife being treated this way. He slammed the table and shouted angrily,

“Damon!!”

Everyone in the dining room became tense.

Royce was a very steady man, calm and composed, rarely showing his emotions. Whether in the past or present, few people had seen him angry, and even fewer people had heard him raising his voice. Of course, except when it involved his wife.

His current state was truly a rare sight. The anger radiating from him was intimidating, and everyone held their breath in tension.

Alyssa and Presley also remained silent. They, too, thought Damon’s behavior tonight was over the top. He, indeed, needed to be taught a lesson.

Only Elizabeth blinked her eyes, turned to him, and said, “Don’t be angry…You’re scaring me.”

Royce immediately reigned in his anger, deflating like a pricked balloon, suddenly calm. He held Elizabeth’s hand and said softly, “I’m not angry with you.” “They are your sons. Don’t be too angry…”
