Chapter 1479
“I knew something was fishy when my sister insisted on drinking with me. Turned out, that drink must’ve been spiked!”
Cole frowned, asking, “What are you babbling about?”
Phoebe didn’t even glance at him and continued, “The drink the waiter gave me, I accidentally poured half into my sister’s glass and spilled the rest on my dress. I didn’t drink a drop…”
Grace’s eyes bulged in surprise. “What… What drink? I don’t get what you’re saying!”
Phoebe nodded. “Ah, I see. Guess I’m overthinking it. So, my sister is genuinely head over heels for Mr. Bowles, huh?”
Regret filled Grace’s heart. She never imagined her prideful daughter, who always looked down on others, would end up in such a state.
She had suffered enough in the past. Wendy was her pride and joy. How could she end up like this?
Willingly…
If she denied being willing, it would be admitting her drink was drugged!
If this news got out, it would definitely bring a huge scandal to the Alonso family…
So, they had to accept this outcome?
But no matter how much she tried to run from it, everyone knew the truth.
Cole swayed, feeling dizzy.
Wendy often embarrassed him, but over the years, he had focused most of his attention on her. Even after all this, Wendy was still his favorite daughter. The future head of the Alonso family, and now…
With a heavy sigh, he turned to Heather and said, “Since it’s already happened, we should discuss the kids‘ marriage…”
Heather’s gaze lingered on Wendy for a moment, then she scoffed, “No need. If it’s not Phoebe, there’s no point in discussing a marriage.
Cole was taken aback by Heather’s response, and his face darkened.
“What do you mean by that, Heather?”
Heather responded with a grin. “Marrying your precious daughter off to a ‘beast would be such a disgrace, wouldn’t it?”
Cole looked embarrassed, saying, “Heather, she was just impulsive…”
Heather nodded. “Impulsiveness, I can understand. But the marriage is off the table.
My only grandson will inherit the Bowles family’s company. He’ll need his wife’s support.
I don’t think highly of Wendy’s business acumen, let alone marrying a notorious, cunning woman!”
Her words, blunt and direct, made Cole furious!
“You…”
“Mr. Alonso, let me remind you, what you treasure might be trash in others‘ eyes!”
“I’m sorry, but we can’t fit into your Alonso family. Our relationship ends here. Please leave.”
The rejection was clear and direct.
Grace was so angry her head was spinning.
”
“Heather, what gives the Bowles family the right to provoke the Alonso family? Do you know if the Alonso Corporation retaliates, the Bowles family could go bankrupt overnight?”
Heather scoffed, “Still a better fate than marrying Wendy.”
“Wow, rather have the Bowles family go broke than marry Wendy. Wendy’s worthless!”
“Ha! Would you marry her?”
“Am I insane?”
Cole was overwhelmed with shame and finally understood. His beloved daughter was ruined.
No one would marry her, even if it meant going bankrupt!
Not even a fool would want her!
Grace, holding Wendy, was speechless with rage!
“Fine! Finell Wait and see! How you have treated us, the Alonso Corporation won’t let it go! You’ll be the first to go bankrupt!”
Everyone wanted to leave, no one wanted to be in front of the Alonso family. They all turned to leave.
“Let’s go, let’s go!”
“The party’s over!”
“Wow, it’s almost ten o’clock… Wait, wait, there’s news from Ms. Summers of Starlight International…”
Ms Summers…
Chloe
News about Chloe was something everyone in P City was interested in.
Hearing this, everyone stopped in their tracks.
“What’s up, is there any news about Ms. Summers?”
“Is she back or what?”
“No, the news says she’s in Las Vegas.”
“She can make headlines even in Las Vegas? Geez, Ms. Summers is everywhere.”
“What did they say?”
“They… oh my god, Ms. Summers gambled in Las Vegas and won a huge amount of money overnight. She’s now worth twenty billion and directly announced in front of the media that she’s keeping Damon!”
“twenty billion?! Oh my god, that’s unheard of!”
“Yeah, she was blocked by the casino’s manager today.”
“She’s incredible! Even gambling, she can win! What kind of luck is that?!”
“She won twenty billion overnight. I can’t even…”
Upon hearing the news, Phoebe’s icy eyes softened, and she suddenly burst out laughing.
Grace was infuriated by her laughter. She had destroyed Wendy, and she had the audacity to laugh?!
“You bitch! Keep laughing, and I’ll slap you!!”
Phoebe’s smile didn’t waver, but it carried a cold edge.
She turned to Cole and said, “With her in this state, are you sure you still want her to be the future head of the family?”
Cole squinted at her. “What do you mean?”
“I want the inheritance rights to the Alonso Corporation!”
Phoebe bluntly said, “Look at her now, she can’t even take care of herself. Even an idiot wouldn’t want her. What the hell are you expecting from her?”
Cole’s face gradually turned serious.
Seeing this, Grace got anxious. “You bitch! You turned your sister into this, all because you want to snatch the Alonso family from her! Cole, look at how cunning she is at such a young age! I’ve wasted so much time and effort, all these years, only to raise such a heartless person!”
“Shut up!!”
Phoebe couldn’t take it anymore and suddenly shouted in a low voice.
Her bloodshot eyes stared fiercely at Grace. “You’ve put in effort? Grace, what gives you the right to say that?! The Alonso family was never yours, so how could you say I took it?!”
