The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1554

Watching the two lovebirds parade their affection without a care in the world makes Wendy’s blood boil.

Why?

1

Who didn’t know why she had been locking horns with Chloe till now? Who didn’t know that the reason she was

bound to a wheelchair was all thanks to them?

She had fought and struggled for so long, only to end up in this pitiful state, while they shamelessly displayed their

love in front of her, at her own event? It was a cruel joke.

Their actions were tantamount to slapping her in the face. How cruel, Damon, you were really too cruel.c2

The people around observed Wendy’s expression. At first, they showed a bit of sympathy, but eventually, they

became indifferent.

After all, the couple was clearly in love. It was Wendy who was stubbornly trying to wedge herself in between them.

If she hadn’t been so obsessed, she wouldn’t have ended up in this situation. In the end, she had only herself to

blame.

Wendy didn’t expect everyone to sympathize with her. But just watching the two of them was extremely irritating.

She gritted her teeth so hard that her entire head was visibly shaking. She simply couldn’t forgive them.

Seeing Wendy on the verge of losing control, Cole came over and said, “Has your sister arrived yet? I haven’t seen

her.”

Wendy blinked fiercely, and her anger suddenly cooled down. “Phoebe? No, she said she would come, so she

definitely will. Let’s wait a bit longer.”

Right, Phoebe. Tonight was not only about the Alonso family raising funds, but also about giving Phoebe a chance to

shine.

Most of the people present were either rich or powerful. If Phoebe could catch someone’s eye or be noticed by

someone, it would undoubtedly be beneficial for the Alonso family. The Bowles family way didn’t work out, so they

weren’t in a hurry to pressure her. They just needed to provide her with the absolutely advantageous environment.

Marrying her into a good family would be beneficial to the company in the future. Once she got married, they would

have a reason to reclaim most of the shares of the Alonso family that she held. After all, once Phoebe’s shares

were in hand, Wendy’s position in the Alonso family would be unshakeable.

So tonight, Phoebe was also one of the main characters.

“The public investment segment is about to start, and she still hasn’t arrived. What’s the point if she arrives too

late? Call her and ask why she’s not here yet.”

Cole said with a serious face. What he said was true, but his main intention was to prevent Wendy from causing a

scene because of Chloe. Otherwise, the business banquet tonight would be doomed.

“Okay, I’ll call her now.”

Wendy nodded and was about to turn around and leave when she saw Phoebe walking in from the entrance.

She wore a pale aqua evening gown cinched at the waist, with a bare shoulder and a hint of décolletage. Her long

hair was carefully styled into natural curls, and her makeup, while subtle, was evidently expertly done. Whoever had

dressed her had done an excellent job. She looked fresh and natural, and her attire was perfectly suited to her. Few

people had seen Phoebe like this. Usually, she was a bookworm who stayed at school and didn’t know how to dress

up. She rarely attended banquets, and even when Grace and Wendy had someone dress her up, they wouldn’t let

her steal their limelight.

She was not flamboyant, not conspicuous, and virtually invisible. Even though she was the second daughter of the

Alonso family, no one paid attention to her. But now, her appearance successfully drew the attention of everyone

present.

She lifted her long skirt and ran towards the banquet hall, As she looked back, there was a hint of nervousness in

her expression, but it was exactly that look that made her seem so alive. Compared to the obedient, dull bookworm

she usually was, the difference was stark.

Wendy watched Phoebe, a spark of jealousy flashing in her eyes.

Damn bitches.

She was now wearing the latest haute couture from a renowned international luxury brand, adorned with top–tier

jewelry, and her makeup was flawless at all times. However, she was now sitting in a wheelchair.

All the fancy clothes, luxurious jewelry, and exquisite makeup couldn’t hide the fact that she was disabled. And

everyone knew she had spent a dirty night with an idiot.

If it was the old her, how could she let such an event be dominated by these bitches?

As Phoebe approached, Wendy composed herself and said with a cold face, “Why are you in such a hurry? Didn’t

you learn to pay attention to the occasion?”

Phoebe glanced towards the door, intending to find a corner to hide in, but hearing Wendy’s voice, she paused.

Looking down at the wheelchair in front of her, Phoebe’s previously nervous face quickly cooled down. “Strange,

when did you ever tell me to pay attention to the occasion? Aren’t these parties usually where you’re fighting to be

the princess?” Phoebe ruthlessly exposed Wendy’s intentions.

Everyone inevitably turned their gaze to Wendy because of her words. Only then did they notice her extravagant

outfit for the night.

Wendy felt a wave of embarrassment and bit her lip, glaring at Phoebe. “You’re the daughter of the Alonso family.

No one can steal your spotlight. Don’t you feel guilty saying that?”

“Really? So I’m also the daughter of the Alonso family. Father, is that true?”

Phoebe chuckled and turned her gaze to Cole.

Cole was taken aback by Phoebe’s sudden question, slightly annoyed by her unexpected action and attitude. “What

kind of question is that? When has the family ever not treated you as one?”

“Really? Well, in that case, I’d like to join the company as well. What do you think?”

Cole was taken aback, his brows furrowing in just a couple of seconds. Irritation was written all over his face. “Have

you finished your studies? You have no clue about our business. Joining the company would only cause chaos. What

else could you possibly contribute?”

Phoebe gave a derisive laugh. “At the very least, I haven’t done anything to disgrace the whole family. I may not

understand the business, but who’s to say that Wendy does? If she can learn, so can I. More importantly, I believe

that the employees would prefer me over her. So what if I don’t know anything? Have you heard the rumors about

her? If she were to take over, do you honestly think the employees would be willing to follow her?”
