Chapter 1485
On the plane, Chloe was browsing through local news. When she came across the mess Wendy made at Abelard’s
birthday bash, she didn’t know what to make of it.
As a woman, Chloe wasn’t gloating over Wendy’s predicament. But as an adversary, especially one who had been
harassed by Wendy time and again, she didn’t feel any sympathy for Wendy’s plight.
From the video recorded at the time, Chloe might have pieced together a few things. The Alonso family and the
Bowles family had no particular connection, but why did Wendy suddenly show up at Abelard’s birthday party? It
was as Angie had told her before, that the Alonso family wanted Phoebe Alonso to marry Abelard.
To ensure Phoebe’s successful marriage, she did not doubt that Wendy and Grace would resort to some dirty tricks.
In the end, it was Wendy who got the short end of the stick, not Phoebe. You could say it was karma for Wendy. She
tried to screw over others but ended up screwing herself over instead.
Compared to Chloe’s understanding of Wendy, Phoebe, who was with her day and night, knew her better. Seeing
through Wendy’s tricks was a piece of cake for Phoebe. But Wendy never expected that the previously docile and
inconspicuous Phoebe would suddenly fight back.
Nathan sat in his chair, shaking his head as he read the news in his hand. “Wendy even got rejected for her own
wedding proposal. She’s really screwed.” Kane said, “I can’t believe the once gentle Wendy would turn out like this
when she grew up.”
“Maybe she was spoiled when she was a child. She got whatever she wanted and was used to being adored. It’s
messed up her character.”

As Nathan spoke, he subtly glanced at Damon.
Nathan’s hint was crystal clear. However, Damon didn’t respond. Nathan pursed his lips, regretting bringing up the
boring topic. “Without any investment, the Alonso Corporation is definitely stuck in a rut this time. Chloe, what are
you planning to do?”
Chloe contínued looking at her phone, casually replying, “Obviously, I’m going to buy the Alonso Corporation as
soon as possible.”
She glanced at Damon and said, “The Alonso family left a 20% investment space for the Harper family. I saw in the
news that Robin plans to invest, but I don’t know if this investment will be transferred to the Alonso Corporation in
advance.”
“No way,” Damon said. “Robin is very cautious. Even if he wants to invest, he will wait until Ava’s family’s funds are
confirmed before he makes a move.” Chloe quickly swiped her phone screen and called Axel. The phone was
quickly connected, and Axel’s voice was full of enthusiasm and excitement. “Ms Summers, what can I do for you?”
Chloe was not in the mood for small talk with Axel and immediately said, “Recall those shares of the Alonso
Corporation in the stock market now…”
Axel laughed. “Ms. Summers, there’s no need to rush. The recovery of those shares was arranged long ago. We’ve
been working on multiple fronts to prevent anyone from getting a jump on us. Plus, Yasmine Has repeatedly
stressed this, so don’t worry…”
Chloe was slightly relieved, “That’s good…”
Axel added, “However, there will always be oversights. A very small part of the shares were grabbed…
Chloe frowned slightly. “The Harper family?”
“…Yes. Ms. Summers, you’re really smart.”
“How much?”
“The Harper family grabbed three percent. The rest, over thirty percent of the shares, are in our hands.”
“Well, that’s okay.”
“Ms. Summers, what’s the next step?”
Chloe raised an eyebrow. Hadn’t she been hearing this question a lot lately? “… Just hold on to them for now, let’s
wait and see”
Axel chuckled. “I must say, you and Yasmine are really in sync. Even your ways of tormenting people are identical.”
Obviously, Yasmine had made arrangements in advance, it just so happened that Chloe and Yasmine were on the
same page.
Thinking about having the same idea as Yasmine, Chloe couldn’t help but crack a smile. Chloe had always admired
and envied her mother’s confident and strategic demeanor as a child. Now, to be compared to her by Axel was
undoubtedly the best compliment for Chloe.
Her smile didn’t last long before she felt two pairs of eyes on her. She retracted her smile and said, “I’m hanging
up.”
Chloe didn’t give Axel a chance to respond and ended the call.
Damon glanced at Chloe’s phone and saw the name in the call log, his face turned even grimmer. Damon was still
sulking.
Nathan leaned in and said, with a hint of seriousness, “Chloe, why are you suddenly in such a hurry to reclaim the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmshares of Alonso Corporation?” Chloe replied, “The Harper Group has already grabbed three percent of the
shares.”

Damon’s expression was unchanged. However, Nathan frowned and then scoffed. “So that’s Robin’s plan. The
twenty percent investment is entirely for his own benefit! He plans to slowly take over the Alonso Corporation from
Wendy after she takes over. His ambitions are not small! He wants the Harper Group, and he also wants to swallow
the Alonso Corporation whole…”

Anyway, the Alonso family company would be his in the future, so this 20% investment now was like investing in
himself. No wonder Robin was bending over backward to support Wendy as the head of the Alonso family.
Wendy was such a ditz, wasn’t it gonna be a piece of cake for Robin to take over the Alonso family?
Robin didn’t see the 20 billion investment in Alonso Corporation failing out of the blue, with the market value
experiencing two major drops, each causing
incalculable losses.
Now the stocks were tanking again, and the Alonso Corporation was at its wits end. At this point, Robin seized the
opportunity to snatch up shares of the Alonso family. Too bad for him, Yasmine beat him to the punch.
So, Robin only managed to get his hands on 3% of the shares. But this move totally blew his cover. Now Robin’s
actions and words didn’t match, which was bound to stir up a hornet’s nest.
Damon didn’t take a clear stand on this. It was as if everything playing out was as expected, and there were no
surprises to him.
Nathan looked at Damon and asked, “Damon, what’s your game plan? Weren’t we supposed to fight the Harper
Group tooth and nail?” With a poker face, Damon poured a glass of milk and handed it to Chloe.
