Chapter 1602

Chloe could totally empathize with Elizabeth. Why wouldn’t she? How could she put Damon in sucha difficult position?

“I understand.” Chloe agreed, smiling knowingly. “He can’t outsmart us. We’ve spent the most timewith his son and his grandson.”

Elizabeth couldn’t help but laugh. “Exactly! He can’t deny it even if he wanted to”

Chloe smiled indulgently, her eyes twinkling with a certain lazy charm that made Elizabeth shakeher head in amusement. “If it wasn’t for the fact that I have Royce, and you have my son, I woulddefinitely seduce you! With that kind of appeal, no wonder you’ve got my stubborn son head overheels.”

This didn’t seem like something a mother–in–law should say c2

Chloe found Elizabeth’s peculiar train of thought amusing She looked down and covered theexposed skin at her neckline.

“No need to cover up, I’m just looking. I can’t really touch you! My son’s the lucky one! Where is heanyway? Not by your side?”

Chloe tilted her phone to show the empty bed next to her, devoid of Damon’s presence

“Where did that boy run off to? He should be having a big breakfast. How could he leave youalone?”

Chice was tempted to end the call. Her mother–in–law was far too frank! She spoke so bluntlywithout any sign of embarrassment.

“Are you done chatting? Time for breakfast.”

Suddenly, the soft and warm voice of Royce came from the video. Chloe smiled, this was a tone heonly used in front of her mother–in–law Just as she was about to end the call, she saw the videoscreen flicker. Elizabeth switched the camera, and Royce appeared on the screen.

At first, Chloe thought she was seeing things. But luckily, she had a strong ability to accept newsituations.

The video was a bit shaky, but she could clearly see Royce in simple homewear, wearing a pinkapron with four little pink pigs on it. Although Chloe didn’t watch cartoons, Anya always mentionedthese little animals.

They were probably Peppa Pig and her family. Papa Pig. Mama Pig, Peppa Pig, and George Pig.

Somehow, she suddenly thought of her in–laws, Damon, and Nathan She couldn’t help but laughsoftly.

Elizabeth held the phone seriously, pretending to Royce that she was still chatting with Chloe

Royce thought she was still talking to Chloe, he wiped his wet hands on his apron, then bent downto pick up the clothes that had fallen on the floor In the end, he gathered all the dirty clothes in hisarms. He looked like a perfect house–husband, cooking and doing laundry with ease His proficiencywas not something achieved overnight.

Chloe covered her mouth and snickered softly, watching as Royce left the bedroom, the videofollowing him.

It wasn’t until he reached the door that Royce stopped, turned around, and said, ‘Eat your breakfastsoon. Elizabeth, what are you doing?”

Elizabeth didn’t expect Royce to suddenly turn around. She was caught red–handed. It was too lateto hide.

The video showed Royce striding over, his handsome face filled with irritation. Elizabeth quicklyswitched the camera and ran to the side with her phone “What are you doing? I’m chatting with mydaughter–in–law!”

“Did you just sneak a picture of me?”

“No” Elizabeth denied firmly. “Chloe has been looking at me the whole time! Why would I take apicture of you? If you don’t believe me, ask her!”

Elizabeth held out the phone, showing Royce’s face.

Chice quickly straightened her posture, letting her hair fall in front of her, blocking the exposed skinof her chest. Then she softly called out, “Hi”

Royce pursed his lips and responded with a low “Hmm” He didn’t ask about the argument withElizabeth, but instead asked, “Why did you intentionally cause such a commotion yesterday?”

Chice smirked As expected, her father–in–law was incredibly astute. She had tried to shifteveryone’s attention to Addie, using her as a decoy and a shield, but he had still seen through her

“The Global Economic Summit is about to begin, and it’s the time of year when companies tally theirachievements. This directly affects the Forbes ranking and the Fortune 500

“The Starlight international in my hand, including the industries my mother left me, have all gottenon track, along with the Alonso Corporation that recently came into my possession Although thesecan’t match the scale of the Harper Group, they pose a threat to the Harper family.

“Regardless of the ranking as long as im within the Fortune 500 or Forbes, I will be a rising star inthe business world and will overshadow the Harper Group and him Robin has just taken over theHarper family and he definitely wont allow this to happen

“Whether it’s for the reputation of this Global Economic Summit, or for the future threat to the Harperfamily and the stability of his current position, he must want to suppress us and eliminate all threats

Royce listened quietly, showing no surprise or shock at Chloe’s words Instead, he asked calmly“So? You want to provoke him to act against you?”

Chloe didn’t deny it. “He will definitely target us! Damon will threaten his position as chairman, andthe industries in my hands will directly affect the Harper family’s reputation internationally. He’sbound to come after us sooner or later, so we might as we steer him onto the course we

want from the get–go. If it’s going to be a standoff, I won’t back down just because we’re dealingwith the untouchable Harper family.”

Royce paused for a moment, a smirk playing on his lips as he watched her through the phonescreen. “So, you’re saying you’ve factored us into your scheming?”

Chloe gave an apologetic smile, “About that, I’m sorry…”

“Never mind, you’re right. Any businessman worth his salt wouldn’t allow anything threatening to gounchecked. If it’s inevitable for him to make a move against us, your foresight in preparing for it iscommendable! But are you sure he’ll just willingly fall into the trap you’ve laid out for him?”

Chloe responded with a smirk, “As long as there’s desire and greed, they’re bound to fall into it. AndRobin, he clearly wants a lot…”
