The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride Chapter 1379

Chapter 1379 

“They were big to begin with, and who knows how much they’ll grow in the future.” 

“The Alonso family is certainly going to feel this. This storm only serves to highlight Peck Innovations‘ strengths.” 

This was basically saying that the Alonso family couldn’t hold a candle to Peck Innovations right now. 

Wendy could never in a million years have imagined that today’s board meeting would turn out like this. She had goofed up countless times in the past, and losing to Chloe was one thing. 

But her father? How could he mess up? Why?! 

Clutching her hands tight to stop them from shaking, she said “Just because one deal fell through, you’re comparing Peck Innovations to the Alonso family. 

“Mr. Alonso, can you tell us why the negotiation failed? I heard that you had a confirmed answer before you went to M Country, so why did the investors there have a change of heart?” Just as Wendy finished speaking, a reporter’s voice came over the TV. Cole’s face was even grimmer, but he didn’t say a word. 

Axel sighed, “I feel sorry for Mr. Alonso about this. The main reason is that the Alonso family’s lady caused some trouble at a critical moment. At such a time, she made some huge mistakes at home. If the company goes under, that’s one thing, but being involved in fraud and abusing power, forcing others to do illegal things, it’s unbelievable. You may not know that the investor had already signed the contract, but when he heard about the mess Ms. Alonso caused at home, he tore up the signed contract on the spot.” 

The room was silent. Wendy’s face was indescribable. 

The shareholders bowed their heads and chuckled, most of them taking pleasure in her misfortune. 

“So that’s why. She brought the trouble overseas!” 

“She’s made so many stupid mistakes, and now she’s trying to marry into the Harper family! Has the Harper family become a dump?” ‘ 

“If Damon actually marries such a woman, he’s marrying a disaster. Even a signed contract can be torn up by her. That’s really something!” 

“And Presley, what was he thinking bringing her to the Harper Group’s board meeting?” 

At this point, someone grabbed the remote and switched to the stock market channel. The Alonso family’s stock index was falling at a rapid pace, but Peck Innovations‘ stock index was rising quickly. 

If the taunts didn’t make Wendy panic, the sight of the Alonso family’s plummeting stock index did. She felt drained of all energy. 

Presley’s face turned pale. They had been with the Alonso family for so many years but had never seen them in such turmoil. If the trend continued, it was unthinkable. 

A few monotone claps started to echo, Yasmine clapping with a faint smile on her face. “Good show, I’m very satisfied with today’s board meeting. As for the rest, it might not take place here. Ms. Alonso, I should thank you for giving me such a great project with Peck Innovations.” Wendy’s nails were digging into her palm, her gaze at Yasmine full of hatred, “It’s just a business deal.” 

Yasmine chuckled, pointing at the stock market chart on the TV, said, “Looking forward to see the ripple effects of this deal?” 

There were no conclusions from the meeting. With things as they were, even Robin, who was most eager for Presley’s shares, couldn’t carry on. Now only a few people were left in the meeting room, the old man sitting grim–faced at the head of the table, his lips pressed tightly together. “Grandfather.” Wendy murmured. 

“With the company in such a mess, what are you still doing here, Wendy? You need to know yourself! From the start, Damon has made his stance clear! And Chloe has always been by his side. What are you trying to achieve by forcing your way in? Are you satisfied only when Damon is labeled a traitor? Everything that should be said has been said, and everything that should be done has been done, why can’t you let go of your selfishness? You always say that you’ve grown up with Damon, that you understand him best. Is this what you mean by understanding, persuading Presley to use his shares to force Damon to marry you?” Alyssa said. Alyssa looked at Wendy coldly, her eyes devoid of any warmth for Wendy. 

Even her expression was clear. Alyssa looked down on her. 

Wendy shook her head, “But I love Damon, I can give him anything. I love him more than anyone else. Others can’t make him happy. You don’t understand.” She couldn’t listen to anything they said, suddenly feeling that everyone in front of her was so annoying! Surely, in this world, her love for Damon was the purest. They were the closest people to Damon. Why couldn’t they see who really loved Damon the most? 

Alyssa, seeing that she was not heeding any advice, sighed and ignored her. Damon also silently whisked Chloe away from the meeting room. 

Wendy stared blankly as the pair strolled past her. Her eyes flickered, and she froze on the spot for a moment before suddenly turning and striding out. Downstairs at Harper Group’s building, a swarm of reporters had gathered. Spotting Damon and Chloe together, they quickly closed in. Of course, they were promptly stopped by the bodyguards. 

“President Harper, seeing as you’re together with Ms. Summers, does that mean you won’t be the next Chairman?” 

Did President Harper willingly give up his inheritance to the Harper Group for Ms. Summers?” 

“Damon!” Before the reporter could finish, Wendy came stumbling out from behind, abruptly pulling Chloe to the side and clutching onto Damon’s arm. 

Chloe didn’t expect Wendy to unravel like this. She swayed slightly, but was quickly steadied by a bodyguard. 

Damon’s dark eyes narrowed as he pushed Wendy away to help Chloe. But Wendy was quick to cling onto him again. “Damon! Please.” 

Seeing that the bodyguards had successfully shielded Chloe, Damon finally turned his gaze to Wendy. 

His stare was icy, devoid of any warmth, but Wendy seemed unbothered. She gripped Damon’s arm tightly, seemingly ready to go all in, “Damon, please, look at me. Even if it’s just one more glance, I wouldn’t have done so much irreparable damage I did it all for you, Damon, please.”
