Chapter 1239
Rose arched an eyebrow, not caring. “What’s the big deal? Grannie bought this specially for me!”
As she spoke, Chloe lowered her head and popped a piece of orange into her mouth. Rose’s
munching stopped mid–bite, her gaze fixed on Chloe.
*Overeating anything isn’t good, you need to maintain a bnced diet.” Chloe said this, then
popped half of the orange into her mouth.
Rose rolled her eyes at Elizabeth, brow slightly raised. “Is the orange sweet?”
Chloe nced at the orange in her hand, indifferent. “It’s alright.”
Rose sat up, her gaze switching from Chloe’s face to Elizabeth’s. She said lightly, “Guess your n
flopped.”
Elizabeth frowned, watching as Chloe devoured the orange. Chloe’s chewing slowed down as she
caught Rose’s words and Elizabeth’s expression. She looked at the orange in her hand, a gift from
her grandma…
“Hah…” Chloe chuckled lightly, finishing thest piece of the orange.
“What’s so funny?” Elizabeth was a bit upset. Her failed n had be aughingstock. How
embarrassing!
Chloe bent over to pick up another orange, giving it a squeeze, “This trick of Granny Alyssa’s has
been overused. She even pulled it on Damon’s assistant, Nate.” The implication was that Chloe had
been on the receiving end of this trick before.
Elizabeth was immensely disappointed. So, Chloe had known from the start that she was being
pranked, thus her calm demeanor was all an act. “Not fun at all.” Chloeughed again, gripping the
orange in her hand before heading upstairs to rest.
“Ugh, so mean! You knew we were pranking you, and you still took my orange!” Rose grumbled to
Chloe’s retreating back, reaching for another orange, but remembering Chloe’s words, she held
back.
Upstairs, after finishing the orange and getting ready for bed, Miles‘ video call came through. Chloe
rolled her eyes slightly, then picked up the call. Her hair, which was typically tied up, was now a little
untidy because she was dressed infy home clothing. Her face was naked and she appeared
tired.
Used to her strong persona and seeing her like this was a bit odd for Miles. “Ms. Chloe.”
“Mhm. How’s thepetition prep going?”
Miles n?dded. “It’s good. I think I’m in a good state.”

“That’s good.” Chloe nodded, pulling back the covers and leaning against the headboard. “Did you
need something?”
“Yeah, I wanted to check on your skin condition. Tomorrow is a big day, and I promised to make you
the most beautiful bride.”
Chloe chuckled lightly, “It’s just an engagement, not quite a bride yet, am I?”
“Regardless, you’re the bride.” Miles rare smile made an appearance. “Your and Mr. Harper’s outfits
have been delivered directly to the hotel by Katie. We’ll be waiting for you in the hotel’s makeup
room in the afternoon. Best of luck.”
“Thank you.”
Just as she was about to end the call, Chloe stopped Miles. “I know I shouldn’t put too much
pressure on you, but Miles, you must win thepetition.” Miles paused, then nodded. “I will.”
Becky was livid all the way to the vi Rhys had bought in P City.
“I’m so pissed!” As soon as she entered, Becky started ranting, tearing at her clothes.
“My little princess, what’s got you so worked up? What on earth are you doing?”
Rhys was totally caught off guard by Becky’s sudden return home. She was giving him a headache.
“How on earth has RM’s reputation here gone so downhill? The moment I got off the ne, people
started pointing fingers at me! Their looks were as if they wanted to pelt rotten eggs at me! I
remember RM used to be so popr here! Why has it changed now!?”
Even though their performance at the fashion week wasn’t outstanding, there wasn’t anything
majorly wrong with the clothes. In domestic fashion magazines, there were still plenty of people
chasing after RM! Why did their reputation take such a hit once they left Y Country?
Rhys was unmoved by herints. He knew Becky was just venting because of the ill–fitting
clothes. “What did youe here for?”
On hearing this, she said, “What’s going on with you? Why are you suddenly marrying a woman?
Don’t you know you already have a wife at home? Look at the mess you’ve made, people in the
circle areughing their asses off!”
Rhys frowned. “You wouldn’t understand! Let themugh, once I really get her, they won’t be
laughing anymore. She is the most beautiful woman in the world!” Elegant, beautiful, stylish, smart,
and fiery–tempered, even the way she fights is enchanting.
“What? The most beautiful? Ha…”
What a woman could least tolerate was a man praising another woman as beautiful, especially
calling her the most beautiful in the world, please….
“Have you lost your mind? The news reports you being thrown out of thepany, and you think
that’s something to be proud of?”
Rhys‘ face darkened a bit clearly growing impatient. “What about you, what are you doing here?”
Becky’s expression suddenly turned serious. “I heard that the son of the Harper Group is getting
married, is that true?”
Phys blinked, his face suddenly changing. “Yup, he’s getting engaged.”
Becky sheked, “What? The CEO? Damon?”
“Yes yes, yes!” So annoying
“Damn it! When did this happen, and with which woman?!”
“Tomorrow. I’m not sure who the brida is.”
“You don’t know who the bride is? My God, what’s going on? Mr. Harper is getting engaged, such a
big event, and it’s not public? Why?! He’s… He’d got a woman? He was getting married? And he’s
getting married so low–key?”
Rhys wasn’t surprised one bit. “He’s always been a low key guy, as you well know. I heard about
his engagement from Robin! And, if word of his engagement spread around, can you imagine…
how chaotic this little town, the P City, would be?”
Becky blinked, then it dawned on her.
That made sense.
The Harper family’s operations spanned globally. Even if only one leader from each subsidiary
attended, coupled with all their partners and so on, P City would likely be extremely busy. And
then thinking about all those gifts. Just unwrapping them would take days. He kept a low profile, and
naturally, he had his
reasons.
“But there’s another possibility. Rhys suddenly said, tooking serious
“What possibility?”
