The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1774

Having said all this, the reporters had no need for further questions.

Alyssa detailed every bit of the reasons for the divorce.

Seeds were sown thirty years ago. Little did she know that three decades later, Presley would not only repeat his tricks but amplify them.

Thinking about Presley’s recent actions, they were indeed erratic. Some had spoken about Presley, that he had tarnished his lifelong reputation and prestige in his twilight

years

Everyone knew about the Harper family, an internationally renowned business empire with immeasurable wealth. People had admired how wise and capable the heads of the Harper family were, leading the family to where it stood now c2

Mentioning the Harpers now connoted an imposing power that few dared to challenge, though they were not the force they once were. And with his current actions, if asked who was the worst head of the Harper Group, everyone would undoubtedly point fingers at Presley. It was sad how he lost all his principles in his old age

Chloe saw this news, and her emotions were complex

Alyssa wanted a divorce? This was something she had never anticipated

There was once, due to Alyssa’s marriage to Presley, some residual reverence in her heart for him. If Alyssa chose him, then there must be something about him that was attractive at least enough to make her willingly marry him

She wasn’t praising him, but she didn’t want to deny Alyssa.

From the beginning her attitude towards Presley was purely objective, never assessing his character, out of respect for Alyssa

Everyone had their own thoughts and principles, but she never thought that the differences between her grandparents would be so vast, that things had come to this point

Presley always cared about his reputation, but now, in his seventies, he was dumped.

The fact that they had come to this after more than seventy years together, spending a lifetime as a couple, must have something to do with Chloe.

How could her feelings not be complex?

Chloe looked up at Elizabeth, “Is Alyss really.”

“Yes, putting up with Presley until now, she must be really tolerant. If it were me, I would never endure him for over thirty years. Of course, if it weren’t for Presley giving up his stubbornness, and me giving birth to Damon, Alyssa probably wouldn’t have persevered until now. And ust like you are now, back then, even though I almost lost my child and was the victim, I was still womed that the two of them would reach an irreparable point because of me. Full of guilt, I said a few good words. I don’t know how much impact my words had, but I advise you not to take any stance on this matter. She understands life better than any of us, and she doesn’t need us to make decisions

for her”

Chloe pursed her lips, agreeing with Elizabeth’s words.

Yes. This was Alyssa’s decision to make, and none of them had the right to interfere

After all these years, Chloe thought, it was time for her to deal with her relationship with Presley properly, regardless of the outcome.

There was really no room for her to step in

Presley was still in H City, leaving Robin in charge of the Global Economic Summit, while he locked himself in the hotel. He wasn’t ignoring Alyssa’s call from the night before, he was just afraid to face some things

When everything had settled down, he finally realized what he had done. It suddenly reminded him of the reason Alyssa almost divorced him thirty years ago.
