The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 174

Chapter 174 

Recently, Lance has gotten used to those sarcastic looks. 

He lowered his voice, obviously not wanting too many people to know about this. 

But Keira and Carolina behind him both heard it. 

Keira even turned around and hurried to Lance’s side. 

“Lance, let me do it. I’ll go on stage and take the blame. It’s all my fault… 

The atmosphere between them was quite unusual, attracting many people to slowly approach, especially those nosy reporters. 

What the hell are you guys doing?!” 

Carolina’s gloomy voice growled, and Chloe scoffed. 

“Granny… I can’t let Lance take all the blame… Keira said timidly. 

“Enough! Are you guys trying to ruin your reputation?!” 

Carolina scolded again, then turned her gaze to Chloe, “Get on stage now!” 

Chloe’s eyes trembled at this moment, her hand gripping her purse turned white. 

Their reputation? 

What about hers? 

At least Carolina was being straightforward. 

“Granny, please let me discuss this with Chloe…” 

“Enough.” 

Lance seemed to want to say something, but a cold voice suddenly sounded. 

Lance turned his head and saw Chloe looking at him with a disdainful gaze. 

“I was almost an hour late tonight. Lance, you could have done a lot in an hour. If you wanted to say something, you wouldn’t have waited until now… Why are you putting on an act? You betrayed me but still want me to have a good impression of you. Aren’t you afraid I’ll never leave you alone? Or is it that you actually want me to pester you?” 

Lance’s expression stiffened, his felt his heart had been punched hard, as if something had been hit. 

Chloe took a deep breath, looked away, and turned her head to the side, “Move.” 

*…Chloe.” 

Chloe frowned, showing impatience, and pushed Lance aside. 

Lance was caught off guard and stumbled back a few steps. Keira quickly stepped forward, tightly hugging his waist, and Lance’s hand naturally hooked around Keira’s waist. 

Though it was a simple action, the two were too in sync. 

Keira and Lance embraced each other. 

Chloe glanced at them coldly, ignoring the noise around her, and went straight to the stage. 

Carolina coughed and glared at the two people hugging each other. Keira caught the look and quickly let go of Lance. 

Carolina then followed Chloe. 

Chloe walked to the podium and looked down at the table. 

As expected of a high–end business hotel, even the table had a touch screen control panel. 

She slowly raised her head, her delicate features expressionless. 

Her cold demeanor carried a touch of arrogance, elegant and noble, making her seem unapproachable. 

Connor stood in a corner looking at the proud woman on stage, his eyes behind the gold–rimmed glasses filled with more interest. 

Chloe’s gaze swept over the audience, her lips gradually revealing a cold smile. 

Seeing her smile now, Carolina’s heart suddenly skipped a beat, feeling a little uneasy. 

I’m sorry to interrupt your evening… 

Her cold and pleasant voice spread throughout the banquet hall through the microphone, attracting everyone’s attention…
