The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1566

The reporters‘ near–riotous behavior visibly darkened Cole Alonso’s mood, making him eager to wrap up the

evening’s event.

“Ladies and gentlemen, thank you once again. Tonight’s fundraising has been a great success and now…”

“Mr. Alonso!” A reporter, not content to let things lie, interrupted Cole once again.

“Mr. Azriel, as the Alonso family’s biggest shareholder, we hardly know him in the P City business circles. Shouldn’t

we take this opportunity to introduce him?”

This suggestion resonated with the crowd. After all, nobody recalled seeing this young man in the P City business

circles before.c2

Everyone present agreed with the proposal, and even Cole found it reasonable. In fact, he felt it was high time to

introduce this man. After all, even he didn’t know who this man was that had suddenly come to the Alonso family’s

aid.

After a moment’s thought, he nodded and turned to Azriel.

“Mr. Azriel, since everyone is asking, why don’t you take this opportunity to introduce yourself? As the Alonso

family’s biggest shareholder..

Azriel, shaking his head nonchalantly, replied, “I don’t have much to introduce. You can all just consider me the

nouveau riche.”

Cole paused, glancing at Wendy who stood not far from Azriel.

Wendy, quickly catching on, smiled at Azriel. “Tonight’s fundraising for the Alonso family was a huge success, Mr.

Azriel. As the Alonso family’s biggest shareholder, why don’t you come up and say a few words?”

Azriel gave a faint smile, pondered for a moment, and then rose from his seat.

Phoebe had a lollipop in her mouth, and her gaze dimmed slightly. Azriel seemed to notice her change in mood, and

gently ruffled her hair. She looked up at him, but he had already withdrawn his hand and was buttoning up his suit.

He then strode onto the stage.

Cole, grinning, handed him the microphone. With the crystal chandelier casting a soft glow over his tall and

handsome figure, Azriel stood on the stage, his stunning features and elegant demeanor captivating everyone

present.

Phoebe, sitting below, stared at him in a daze, her thoughts unreadable.

Speak in a calm voice. “I have money, and a lot of it. The Alonso family needs money, and I’m interested in their

shares, so that’s

Azriel began to why I decided to

“As for the fac

to Ms. Phoebe.

the Alonso family’s largest shareholder, before we discuss that, I think I should first address the issue of my

engagement

“About the wedding gift, I actually have no intention of touching the thirty percent of the Alonso family shares I

bought for three hundred billion. So, if it’s possible, I’d like to invest another three hundred billion in the Alonso

family’s project today, with no dividends. How does that sound, Mr. Alonso?”

The room was in an uproar.

“Three hundred billion, with no dividends? Isn’t that basically giving it all to the Alonso family?”

“Such extravagance! Even if he’s crazy about a woman, who would casually throw out three hundred billion as

wedding gifts?”

“I remember Mr. Harper’s wedding gifts for Ms. Summers was only a hundred billion. This is extravagant.”

Cole was caught off guard by this sudden proposal and didn’t know how to respond. Three hundred billion was no

small sum for the Alonso family. But to give up thirty percent of the shares, that was certainly painful.

Chloe, somewhat surprised, raised an eyebrow and then turned to Phoebe, who was staring blankly, her lollipop

almost falling from her mouth. She chuckled lightly. “Your worth has certainly skyrocketed.”

Phoebe blinked, blushing a little as she turned to Chloe “I… I don’t know what’s going on?”

Who knew what this unpredictable man was thinking?

“Maybe he’s just being impulsive, and after tonight.”

Before Phoebe could finish, Wendy interjected, “Mr Azriel! Three hundred billion is certainly an appealing figure. But

the thirty percent of the Alonso family’s shares could be worth more than that in the near future. We’re all well

aware of this. So, Mr. Aznel, if you wish to marry my sister, the wedding gifts can only be those thirty percent of the

Alonso family’s shares you hold. Don’t bother offering anything else.”

Phoebe’s eyes widened, and she abruptly rose from her seat “Wendy, you’re crossing the line. My marriage is none

of your business. Using my situation to get those shares you’ve been eyeing have you got no shame ?!”

Wendy shot her a cold glance, “I’m your sister, so its natural for me to be involved in your marriage. The Alonsos

have been supporting you all these years, it’s only right they receive a proper dowry in return What, are you

planning to leave without giving anything in return?“*

“You… you are utterly shameless!” Phoebe was left speechless by Wendy’s blatant audacity. She pointed a

trembling finger at Wendy, her body shaking with fury

Unfazed by Phoebe’s outrage, Wendy turned to Azriel on stage with a smirk, “What does Mr. Azriel think?”

Azriel gave a faint smile at Cole, stating. “I hope for an immediate reply from Mr. Alonso. As I mentioned earlier, I

suddenly find myself attracted to your younger sister. However, I can’t guarantee that my interest will last beyond

tonight If I lose interest in Ms. Phoebe, not only will the thirty

billion be off the table, the thirty percent share will also be out of your reach.”

Cole stood silent, frowning as he weighed the proposition. After a few minutes of silence, Azriel added impatiently,

“If Mr. Alonso disagrees, then it seems the marriage between me and Ms. Phoebe is…”

“I agree!” Cole spoke up, cutting Azriel off.
