Chapter 1378
“Every problem has a source, and every responsibility has an owner. Remember to find the right person to solve
the issue!”
Axel seemed genuinely afraid of the Alonso family. He kept repeating this, giving the reporters present a real
headache. They wished they could just throw their microphones right at his handsome yet annoying face.
“Axel! So, the Alonso family’s deal did indeed fall through?”
“You guys stole his deal.”
“Huh?” Axel suddenly interjected, pointing at the reporter who asked the question, and laughed. “I like the term
‘steal‘!” He said, then his face turned serious immediately, “But I didn’t ‘steal‘. Every problem has a source, and
every responsibility has an owner.”
“So, who ‘stole‘ the Alonso family’s deal? And who is the major shareholder of Peck Innovations? The reporter
couldn’t stand this guy any longer, didn’t give him a chance to continue, and cut him off directly.
Axel gave a wry smile, sighed, took a microphone, and turned to the camera saying, “Ms. Summers, I’ve completed
my mission. Is the celebration party ready?” The interview spot fell silent instantly, and so did the meeting room.
Everyone had a guess in their minds, but no one dared to voice it out.
“Axel, who did you mean by Ms. Summers?” A reporter asked, stuttering, the question that everyone was curious
about.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the meeting room, more than a dozen pairs of eyes were glued to the screen, bodies rigid from tension. Axel,
however, looked completely at ease. “Ms. Summers? You guys don’t know who she is? How is that possible? Chloe
from Starlight International is one of our major shareholders at Peck Innovations! And Ms. Summers‘ mother, is the
founder of Peck Innovations. You guys don’t know that either?”
The reporters present almost passed out! Even though they predicted it, they were still utterly shocked.
The founder of Peck Innovations was Yasmine? They didn’t know about such a big piece of news.
But thinking about it, it made sense that they didn’t know. Everyone knew that there was a Peck Innovations in P
City, but the company had always been quite low–key.
Apart from necessary appearances in the media, there was rarely any news about Peck Innovations. Even though
they were exceptional, their low–key approach had made them somewhat forgotten over time. So the reporters
hadn’t paid much attention to Peck Innovations. Nor had they done much research on the founder of Peck
Innovations.
Actually, who the founder of Peck Innovations was wasn’t that important to them, but looking at it now, it was
undoubtedly huge news!
In the meeting room, everyone gasped!
All eyes turned to Chloe.
Chloe just pulled a faint smile. All she wanted was for everyone to know that the Alonso family’s deal was taken
away, that Wendy’s once proud deal had now failed. But she didn’t expect Axel to spill even more beans.
Celebration party? Huh!
She turned around, looked at Wendy, who was pale as a ghost across the long conference table, and said casually,
“Ms. Alonso, sorry for stealing your family’s deal.”
Wendy’s pupils trembled violently, her body swayed, and she grabbed the armrest of the wheelchair behind Presley.
“It’s not possible, it can’t be. Dad can’t fail. Peck Innovations? How could it steal the Alonso family’s deal?” Wendy
was shocked.

Chloe laughed coldly, “Sadly, it was the insignificant Peck Innovations in your eyes that effortlessly stole your proud
Alonso family’s deal.”
Wendy didn’t know how to face Chloe right now, “Why does it have to be Peck Innovations? Why does it have to be
you…
“Because it’s your Alonso family’s deal. Chloe said calmly, looking at Wendy again, “Exactly because it’s your
family’s deal, it has to be me.”
She slowly stood up, looking calmly at Wendy, “You wanted to show off the power of the Alonso family, right? I want
to see how long you can keep your pomp and circumstance. I’ve said before, if I want it, even if I can’t get the
Alonso family, I can surely bring it down. Don’t doubt me. I’m good at this kind of thing.”
She walked over to Damon, took his hand, looked around with an indifferent gaze, finally stopping on Presley, full of
arrogance. “I don’t have Wendy’s family background, but I myself am my most reliable backing!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEveryone was speechless. It was only now that they realized, every word Chloe said was beyond doubt. She was
capable of defeating the Alonsos, let alone any other challenge in the future.
Presley’s face was indescribably ugly.
Alyssa sneered “This board meeting has always been a joke, and now they’re trying to suck up to the Alonso family
by moving the meeting to today. But the people they tried to suck up to ended up having their business stolen
away! How embarrassing.”
The directors in the conference room were all shame–faced.
“Alyssa is right, this is hardly a match made in heaven.”
‘Brazenly claiming that the Alonso family would help the Harper family more, but now it seems…”
If the Alonso family is so powerful, how could they have their business stolen by other companies?”
Those shareholders in the office who had always been dissatisfied with the Alonso family took the opportunity to
roast Wendy good and proper.
Wendy was red with shame and anger, “What do you guys know? Even if this business was given to them, what
could they change?”
Chloe just chuckled without saying a thing. Some things didn’t need to be spelled out To everyone else, Wendy’s
words sounded like a last–ditch effort.
What could they change? There were way too many things they could change. At the very least, the business deal
that the Alonso family had been eagerly awaiting fell through.
The shareholders wouldn’t directly mock Wendy for her low–level behavior, but they did speculate, “I wonder how
far Peck Innovations will go with this deal?”
