Chapter 1402
Yasmine watched Chloe quietly, her face expressionless, clearly waiting for her input. Chloe glanced at the stock
market graph in front of her, her face equally unreadable.
“Keep waiting” she said.
Axel raised an eyebrow, his gaze lingering on Chloe
Even though they’d met before, it was mostly through online news and their occasional phone calls when he was
abroad. Today was their first formal meeting, and at first, he thought she was just an over–hyped regular Joe
But when he actually met her, he realized he might have underestimated her. This woman’s aura was far beyond
that.
The Alonso family’s stocks were a hot topic for almost everyone. They had been falling for the past few days with
no signs of a rebound, and in the last two days. some people started making sneaky moves
They weren’t bullish on the Alonso family’s stocks; they were betting on Chloe. This was Chloe’s wedding gift. If the
Alonso Corporation fell into her hands, she’d definitely make a move. If the Alonso Corporation ended up with
Chloe, it would definitely thrive.
But
“My sources say the Alonso family hasn’t given up their plan. They’re just looking for a new partner, probably from
Y Country If things go on like this, you might end up with nothing”
Chloe just shrugged and casually said. “The royal family of Y Country is, after all, a royal family. Even though they
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcan engage in business, they wouldn’t be too flashy. They can partner with Princess Ava, but she can’t be too
conspicuous, so this business might end up with…
She paused, a small smile tugging at her lips. “Viscount Rhys… and right now, he’s having the time of his life in Las
Vegas, so he probably won’t have time to deal with this.”
Witnessing the coolness on her natural face, Axel’s eyes sparkled. He was head over heels for this woman. She had
thought of all angles, even knowing where Rhys was and what he was up to
That calmness could only come from absolute confidence. And this confidence was, of course, self bestowed
The Alonso Corporation’s stocks had been in free fall for days, and the Alonso family had shown no reaction, just
letting things be. It was clear they were looking for a solution and seemed to have found one, hence their boldness
in letting the stocks fall. Their calmness clearly came from absolute confidence in their ability to torn the tide.
Stock investors were jittery, constantly checking the news, afraid of the Alonso family making a move
Everyone was on edge these days, neither the Alonso family nor Chloe would miss the perfect opportunity to buy
stocks.
The reason they hadn’t bought in advance was that Alonso Corporation’s stocks were in a slump, everyone wanted
to buy the most valuable thing at the lowest price, and then eam a huge profit. This would make them very satisfied
During such tense times, Chloe still had time to find Rhys. She was truly admirable.
Even he, as the highly paid CEO of Peck Innovations with years of experience in the business world, had only
thought of planting his own people in the Alonso family and kept an eye on the stock market daily.
He once thought her too careless. She disappeared for days after the negotiations were over. Now he realized, that
her disappearing for a few days was more meaningful than their sleepless nights at the company.
The other executives in the company were surprised when they saw Axel’s adminng look at Chloe. They had never
seen their CEO look at a woman like that. Chloe might have noticed Axel’s gaze, so she turned to look at him. “Do
you have a question?”
Axel moved his chair closer to Chloe, his hands gripping the armrests. “Nope.”
Everyone fell silent. If there was no question, then why did Axel move closer to her?
Chloe leaned back in her chair, looking at everyone in the room. “Any other questions?
“When are you planning to take action?” Axel moved closer to Chloe again, seemingly looking for a topic.
“Who said I was going to take action?”
This time Axel was visibly startled by her words. “Didn’t you say you had to get the Alonso Corporation?”
Chloe chuckled. “Wouldn’t it be better to make the Alonso family disappear from the world? Can Peck Innovations
be worse than the Alonso family in the future?” Everyone understood.
That was the way it was. Even if she didn’t take action against the Alonso family now, just having the Peck
Innovations name was enough to elevate Chloe’s worth Not to mention, she had the highly successful Starlight
International and her other assets. Combined, her net worth was probably much higher than the Alonso
Corporation’s
She had every right to be proud If she wanted something, there was probably nothing she couldn’t get. Going
against her was a truly foolish act
This woman was a real gem
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEven though the idea sounded dominant, he would feel it was a pity if the Alonso Corporation was not acquired
Chloe shot him a cold glance When Axel looked up, she had already averted her gaze If there are no other
questions, then this will beut. Any other comments, Director Yasmine?”
Chloe was always straight to the point.
Yasmine shook her head “Nope. Let’s call it a day‘
Chloe nodded standing up, and Axel followed suit
Chloe moved her chair, and Axel did the same
Chice turned around, and Axel turned too.
Chloe headed towards the door, and Axel was right on her heels
Chloe stepped forward with her left foot, and Axel mirrored her
Everyone was at a loss for words. It was just a meeting. How did their CEO suddenly turn into a follower of someone
else?
Well, talk about a plot twist.
Ive never seen Axel so into a woman before.”
“Tell me about it. It’s the first time I’ve seen a guy following a girl like this.”
“Ms. Summers does have quite the charm, enough to make more people follow her.”
With that, everyone mimicked Chloe’s actions, standing up, pushing their chair, turning, stepping with their left foot,
and heading towards the door.
