Chapter 1550
The reporters on the scene couldn’t help but laugh. They had heard it all very clearly. Was this just to make Wendy
feel a bit better?
But the sacrifice was too much. They knew it now, but those online didn’t, and were probably still criticizing her
fiercely.
Wendy clenched her teeth tightly, staring at Chloe with icy eyes, sneering, “Chloe, when did you start being so
considerate? You’re even willing to make such a big sacrifice just to make me happy? If you really want to make me
happy, you should just drop dead. That would make me even happier.”
Chloe chuckled lightly, “Ms. Wendy, you’re going a bit overboard.”
Wendy squinted at her, sneering before turning her head to look at the tall man beside her.c2
He finally looked at her. Great. It would be even better if his gaze wasn’t so cold and disgusted.
She smiled bitterly, tightly holding the blanket on her lap, and said, “Thank you all for coming to my business
banquet today. It’s chilly outside. Let’s head in. The banquet will start soon. If there’s a chance, I can introduce you
to Mr. Azriel, who generously helped Alonso Corporation. Without him, Alonso Corporation wouldn’t have been able
to recover.”
Chloe chuckled, “Really? I’d love to see what kind of person Mr. Azriel is, to be so foolish.”
Wendy sneered, controlling her electric wheelchair, and went ahead of the two.
Chloe raised an eyebrow, turned to Damon, and said, “Let’s go in.”
Damon nodded.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGetting a response, Chloe was about to turn and leave when Damon’s gaze hardened slightly, and he pulled her
back by the arm.
Chloe stumbled into his arms. She said, “What’s wrong?”
Damon, “You’re just going to leave like that, huh?”
Chloe was taken aback, then opened her mouth, “Ah… Oh…”
She reached out and hooked Damon’s arm. She had always been alone before, and it was a little awkward now that
she was out with her man. After hooking his arm, she even gave Damon a pleasing smile. “Let’s go.”
Damon pursed his lips, wrapped his arm around her waist, and dragged her into his arms dissatisfiedly.
The reporters were a bit unwilling to let go and asked another question, “Ms. Summers, it’s clear that Ms. Wendy is
showing off by hosting this business banquet. Knowing that coming here would put more pressure on you, why did
you still come?”
Chloe stopped, smiled at the camera, and said, “How would it add pressure? I believe tonight’s banquet will be very
enjoyable”
The media couldn’t understand what this lady wanted to do.
Reporter, “What about the online criticism of you? Mr. Harper, since you were able to withdraw the comments the
first time, you can definitely withdraw again, right? Why aren’t you taking action now?”
All coincidences were a series of accidents:
The reporters only stopped them to ask two questions, when Robin and Presley slowly walked over. The media
didn’t know if Damon would answer their questions, they only noticed Damon’s gaze suddenly shift to the front.
Then Robin’s voice rang out.
“I didn’t expect you guys to actually come. What a surprise. Damon, long time n
Damon’s eyes were cold, “Not that long.”
no see”
“Haha,” Robin laughed carelessly, turning his gaze to Chloe, his eyes cunning like a scheming fox. He asked, “Ms.
Summers, are you planning to invest in Alonso Corporation tonight?”
Chloe smiled slightly, “I was invited here. I’ll see. If the situation meets my expectations, I certainly wouldn’t want to
miss this opportunity.”
Robin laughed, sizing up Chloe up and down, “Ms. Summers, you’re really lucky. My nephew has always been
reluctant to get close to girls. His indifference to women was simply incomprehensible. But now, for you… He’s
given up his company, and doesn’t even go home…”
Chloe’s lips twitched slightly, but she didn’t respond.
Robin pretended to be indifferent and said, “I noticed the news on the Internet yesterday. Damon, about the
trending topic regarding Ms. Summers, you had it taken down, didn’t you? How could you be so impulsive? Have
you considered that there might be more serious consequences? This time can be an exception, but don’t let all the
attention focus on one thing. As a man, you should have bigger ambitions, right?”
The “one thing” in Robin’s mouth was undoubtedly referring to Chloe. His words were subtle, but that didn’t mean
others heard them that way.
Presley, who was standing behind him, grew even more sullen at hearing this. He paused for a moment with his
cane, then walked straight towards the hotel entrance. He didn’t say a word.
Robin didn’t say anything anymore, nodded, and followed Presley closely.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChloe, arm in arm with Damon, followed them into the banquet hall.
Most of the guests were already there. Seeing Presley and Robin, everyone’s eyes lit up. They suddenly felt that this
business banquet was a huge benefit for them. Even the old and new chairmen of the Harper Group were here,
showing that the Alonso Corporation’s project was trustworthy.
But when they saw Chloe and Damon, the bustling banquet hall suddenly quieted down.
Some people whispered, “Ms. Summers is really here?”
“What is she thinking?”
“Does the Alonso family’s project really have enough appeal to make her wary?”
“If the Alonso family weren’t loaded, why would they take such a big risk, huh?”
‘Ms. Summers wants to just waltz in and take over Alonso Corporation? As if it’s that easy.”
“I was hoping for a miracle, to be honest, I’m a bit bummed out.”
“The eldest son of the Harper family sure has talent, but what a pity, he’s lost everything over a girl.”
“Why don’t we ask them what’s their real motive for coming today? What are they thinking? Are they here for
people to laugh at them or what?”
Chloe had her fill at home before stepping out; she wouldn’t eat at a place this crowded.
Not to mention, this was Wendy’s territory.
She’d made quite a few enemies in the past. Now that she was pregnant with twins, if she was not careful, she
would end up like the unlucky protagonist in a TV drama.
Her life was already a hot mess. The last thing she needed was more trouble.
