Chapter 1363
Who wouldn’t want to hear something that sounds so pleasing, right?
A smug grin spread across Wendy’s face. “You’re right, the Chloe of the past can’t hold a candle to me, and the future Chloe won’t stand a chance either.“”
In the living room, Robin carefully brewed a pot of Ceylon tea that Wendy had brought. He poured a cup for Presley and chuckled, “Wendy really has the hots for Damon. If Cole manages to seal this business deal, it’ll be a nice leg–up for the Harper family. The two kids getting together couldn’t be more perfect.”
Presley let out a sigh, “You think I don’t know that? But sometimes Wendy’s antics are just too much. If she ends up with Damon and keeps pulling those stunts, won’t Damon and the Harpers be left embarrassed? The Alonso family is stuck between a rock and a hard place. They need to pass down their empire to her, but she’s just not cut out for business/
“She admitted it herself, that’s why she wants to lean on Damon. If Damon were to take over the Alonso family affairs in the future, there’d be no need for her to step in. Wendy is off to the Y Country for a state dinner in a few days. Given her close ties with Princess Ava and the little princesses of Y Country, she could make things a lot easier for Damon in the future. All things considered, Damon striking it lucky with Wendy is a stroke of good fortune for us Harpers as well.
“Then there’s Ms. Chloe. Smart and cunning she may be, but she’s nothing special. How could she possibly match up to Damon in brains and business acumen? When you weigh it all up, Chloe just doesn’t hold a candle to Wendy.”
Presley nodded seriously, “You hit the nail on the head.”
Robin chuckled, picked up his teacup and took a sip, then quietly waited for Presley’s next words.
Sure enough, it didn’t take long for Presley to speak up, “Let’s not wait for Cole’s return to sort things out.”
After a moment of contemplation, Presley went on, “Let’s set a date for the Board of Directors meeting, including the decision on the chairmanship.”
At this, Robin gently set down his teacup and nodded, “Alright, I’ll get right on it.”
Presley gave a silent nod and Robin stood up to leave with a smile.
“Hold on a moment.”
“Dad, anything else?”
Robin slowly halted, his back to Presley, unable to see his expression.
Let’s bring the Board of Directors meeting forward. If we’re trying to make a statement to the Alonso family, we might as well go all the way.”
“When should we set the date?”
After a few seconds of silence, Presley replied, “The day after tomorrow.”
Wendy’s press conference could be considered a success.
But that didn’t mean Infinity Media’s crisis was resolved, or that her few words could nullify the accusations of forcing women into prostitution. These ideas had already cemented themselves in people’s minds, and the various discoveries, suspicions, and speculations over the past few days only confirmed them.
Anyone who tried to deny these claims now would simply become a laughing stock.
Even though some tried to defend Wendy after her press conference, it was to no avail. She was still the butt of everyone’s jokes.
The press conference was deemed a success because Wendy managed to showcase her high–society demeanor.
Before this, she was just Wendy, the General Manager of Infinity Media. If no one brought it up, no one would notice that she was also an heiress of a prestigious family.
Now, just by observing Wendy’s demeanor and actions, the first impression she gave was that of an heiress of a prestigious family. Another success was Wendy emphasizing not just her high–society status, but also her invitation to the Y Country’s state dinner.
“Man, this rich girl is living the good life. No matter what she does, as long as her family’s around, she can live like a queen.”
“Even after she’s lost her company and her dignity, she can still go home and be Ms. Alonso, living better than anyone else…only the shameless can be invincible.”
“Even though she’s not really an heiress of a prestigious family, she still acts like one. And everyone still acknowledges it. It just shows how important a powerful backing is.”
“Well, at least Starlight International won the war in the end, I’m somewhat satisfied with that. As for her background…ugh comparing yourself to others only makes you miserable.”
“Why are you upset? You’ve got your dignity, does she?”
“Speaking of the Y Country state dinner, I remember Ms. Summers received an invitation à few months ago. She’s supposed to perform at the dinner.”
“Really?”
“Absolutely! I remember, she was invited during Old Mr. Watson’s 80th birthday celebration in B City.”
Even though the internet was filled with mockery and disdain for Wendy, there was also a hint of jealousy.
Wendy only laughed coldly, but her face darkened when she saw a comment about Chloe also receiving an invitation to the state dinner. This annoying woman, she was everywhere
Wendy had thought that her attending the state dinner in the Y Country would give her a one–up on Chloe in terms of status. But to her surprise, Chloe was also on the guest list.
Wendy immediately dialed Becky. “What’s up?”
“Becky, I saw a post saying that annoying Chloe also got an invite. She’s supposed to perform at the state dinner, is that true?”
Becky was currently at the Royal Beauty Salon, getting a full body treatment with Ava and Barbara. Upon hearing Wendy’s words, she furrowed her brows, but
chuckled after a moment. “How could that be? If even I, the princess of the Y Country, don’t qualify to attend the state banquet, what makes Chloe so special? And even if she does go, it’s probably not the state banquet, but the party afterwards.”
Wendy’s anger gradually dissipated, and replaced with a smirk.

“That would be just perfect,” she said. The idea of Chloe attending the banquet, not as a royal guest but something less prestigious, opened up possibilities for Wendy to look down upon her.
Becky seemed to have thought of something amusing as well, a sly grin spreading across her face.
“There’ll be some fun for sure.”
Wendy laughed, “I bet you’ve got plenty of ways to make Chloe look like a fool, Becky.”

“If I let her off the hook in my own territory, I’d be too embarrassed to show my face ever again. I’ll make sure she pays back double for the humiliation I’ve suffered.” “Here’s to your successful revenge then, Becky.”
“Just wait and see.”
After hanging up the phone, Barbara, who was nearby, asked, “What’s got you so pumped up?”
