The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1578

The news caused a collective gasp among the crowd, who had no idea what was going on behind the

scenes.

“How did she suddenly become the major shareholder of the Alonso family’s enterprise? I can’t believe it.”

“How is Wendy going to deal with this?”

“No wonder I found it strange that Ms. Summers showed up tonight, even though she knew Wendy was going to

give her a hard time. Turns out that she was here to deliver a crushing blow to Wendy.”

“She’s now the major shareholder of the Alonso family’s enterprise, my god, this news is explosive. Ms. Summers,

she really did it.”

“Yeah, she really did it. When the Alonso family suddenly received a thirty billion dollar investment, I thought they

were unbeatable. Turns out that our ‘Mr. Three–Billion‘ was actually supporting Ms. Summers.“d2

“Ha, your ‘Mr. Three–Billion‘ nickname is spot–on. Just now at the dinner, this gentleman spent another three billion

to buy Mr. Alonso’s second daughter from him.”

“What? Ms. Phoebe got sold?”

“It’s common for parents to favor one child, and once it starts, there’s no end to it. Initially, they wanted to use the

younger daughter’s marriage as leverage to get thirty percent of the shares from ‘Mr. Three–Billion‘ as a dowry, to

secure the Alonso heiress’s position in the company. But upon finding out that ‘Mr. Three–Billion‘ gave the shares to

Chloe, they had to settle for the thirty billion dollar investment in their project.”

“My gosh, what a shame, I can’t believe all this happened inside the hotel.”

“It’s much worse than that. You didn’t see how smug Wendy was at the beginning of the dinner. Her rivalry with Ms.

Summers was obvious. She was so brash and provocative, but once she learned that Ms. Summers was now the

major shareholder of the Alonso Corporation, she lost it. She went berserk, ranting and raving like a madwoman.

She’s probably still causing a scene.”

“Oh man, I wish I could’ve seen that, Wendy must be desperate. I’d love to see her now, it must be quite a sight.”

“She was acting like a lunatic. It was frightening. Can you imagine a disabled person rolling around on the floor,

cursing and swearing in the center of the room?”

“She got what she deserved. She shouldn’t have messed with Ms. Summers. Ms. Summers was personally invited

by her tonight, and her plan to show off completely backfired.”

“The more investment she got tonight, the greater the benefits Ms. Summers received. She proudly invited her

over to show off, not realizing she’d end up working for her. Wendy has been a joke in front of Ms. Summers, time

and time again. Every time she confidently challenged her, she ended up being humiliated. It’s hilarious when you

think about it.”

“You can’t mess with Ms. Summers. She’s terrifying, whoever crosses her is in for trouble. I wonder what will

happen now that she’s up against the Harper family?”

“Who knows?”

Some people were still staring at the hotel entrance, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Alonso family members‘

current state, but they were nowhere to be seen.

“Alright, let’s call it a night. The Alonso family isn’t going to show their faces now. If you have any questions, just

wait for the news tomorrow.”

‘Everyone gradually dispersed.

Wendy had invited many media outlets to the party tonight, hoping to show off the Alonso family’s newfound

success and unstoppable momentum. With so much drama tonight, tomorrow’s news would. certainly be

interesting.

Unfortunately, they didn’t get to see Wendy’s current state, which was a bit disappointing. But the night’s drama

had to end at some point. The party was over, the main characters had left, and there was no point in lingering.

Chloe had played along with Wendy’s game all night, until she finally delivered a crushing blow that completely

defeated Wendy.

Wendy’s current state was almost too pitiful to look at, which made Chloe seem ruthless and cold–hearted.

Tomorrow, people would undoubtedly criticize her. They’d forget that Wendy always provoked her, and that every

outcome was a result of her own actions.

Chloe could imagine the accusations she’d face tomorrow, but she didn’t care. She finally got rid of Wendy, the

woman who had been harassing her for months, making it feel like years. Chloe felt a sense of relief.

But then, she ran into Presley at the hotel entrance, and her good mood vanished. She knew the old man cared

deeply about the Harper family, but his stubbornness and intensity chilled her to the bone.

She thought the departure of her father–in–law and mother–in–law would make him see reason. Turned out that he

was as stubborn as ever.

She sat alone on one side of the car, a thick layer of frost covering her delicate eyebrows. Her lips were tightly

pursed, and she looked out the window at the colorful neon lights passing by, her mood somber. Damon held her

hand all the way, and now he held it even tighter.

“You’ve had enough time to be angry, Mrs. Harper. It’s time to focus on me again.”

Chloe turned to look at him, “I shouldn’t have brought you here tonight.”

Damon furrowed his brows.

Chloe lowered her eyes, lifting the hand Damon held and gently caressed it against her lips. She looked at him with

remorse, “Although they don’t say it, I can feel it. Their attitude towards you… they… apparently don’t feel the

same way as before.”

Chloe deliberately phrased it differently, yet still felt at a loss for words.

Chloe couldn’t bring herself to say those words. He, who used to be the center of attention wherever he went, was

treated coldly tonight. Worse still, he was publicly ridiculed by her grandfather.

She thought she could withstand the judgmental gazes of others, and she knew she shouldn’t live in the eyes of

others. Nor did she truly want Damon to always be the center of attention. But she just couldn’t stand seeing him

treated with disdain, just because he was no longer the CEO of Harper Group. The stark contrast in treatment made

her feel a rollercoaster of emotions.

Her grandfather said that she was the one who ruined him. She used to deny this, but now, she somewhat agreed.

Damon looked at Chloe’s remorseful eyes, his hand reaching to cradle the back of her head. He gently caressed

her lips for a while before resting his hand against her forehead.

“You’re overthinking it. I don’t care about any of this.”
