Chapter 1484
Grace looked confused “What’s going on? What the heck Just happened?”
Wendy looked seriously bummed right now. “No way… no way! Dad, call Ava right away, and ask
what the heck happened? She promised. How could she back out halfway…”
Before Cole had time to make the call, another news plece was on the office TV.
After failing to get the specifics on why Rhys pulled his funding, the reporter did some digging and
easily found the reason.
“ording to our investigation, there was a high–stakes gamblest night at a major casino in Las
Vegas. The participants were Viscount Rhys, who just announced his withdrawal of funding from the
Alonso family, and another one whom we believe you can all guess- That’s the internationally
renowned Leader perfumer, domestic Starlight International CEO, Chloe Summers, the
granddaughter of Y Country’s Queen Julia. It is said that Viscount Rhys lost the 20 billion destined
for the Alonso family to Chloe..”
Next up was an interview with Chloe about gifting the 20 billion to Damon.
Everyone in the office couldn’t tear their eyes off the screen. Even Cole’s mind was in turmoil. This
might have been the most helpless and stressful moment of his life.
Even when Peck Innovations stole his business, and thepany’s stock plummeted, he never felt
this panicked. Because then, he knew he had his trump card. That was Princess Ava of Y Country.
What the hell was going on now? Asking Princess Ava for help should have been a sure thing, but
now it was totally flipped. He had no idea what to do, and no strategy to deal with this.
He was totally stuck.

“Heh…”
After a while, a few of the executives in the office started chuckling.
“Well, no more arguing about the order of the projects. You want to put 20 billion into simultaneous
project development, huh… I’d like to see how you n to do that now!” The executive Wendy just
threatened to fire was now loaded with the most malicious sarcasm.
Wendy looked pale, her hands shaking so much she couldn’t even make a fist.
20 billion… So the 20 billion in Chloe’s hands was what she won from Rhys.
“She did it on purpose! Chloe did it on purpose!” she muttered, then louder. “That evil Chloe
definitely did it on purpose! Why would she just fly from Y Country to Las Vegas? She must have
gone to see Rhys! Exactly 20 billion, she just snatched away the 20 billion Rhys was supposed to
give us!!”
She rambled as if trying to prove something.
“So, what’s your point?” Said the executive sarcastically. “Even if Chloe did it on purpose, so what?
Rhys losing 20 billion is undeniable. No matter what you say, that 20 billion isn’ting back to
you. It just shows you’re far behind Ms. Summers of Starlight International. Maybe you can’t even
compare!
“Now, I guess the Alonso Corporation’s stock has probably crashed. Mr. Alonso, look, Wendy is
really capable, she can actually destroy such a big family and corporation! I don’t need Wendy to
kick me out. I can’t stay in thispany anymore!”
With that, he left, and a few other executives shook their heads and followed.
“What a mess, what a mess.”
“Wendy is like a harbinger of bad luck.”
“She expects to take over thepany, but does she even stand a chance?”
“Good riddance, it saves us the trouble and disappointmentter.”
Their voices faded as they left.
The office was left in silence, with just the three Alonso family members.
These bombshell news stories had the whole P City buzzing in no time. Netizens were over the
moon, singing praises.
An hour after the news was released, the Alonso Corporation’s stocks plummeted. This storm
caused the Alonso Corporation’s funds to decrease by
another 10%.
The previous losses were irreversible, with now more losses from the stock fell. The Alonso
Corporation was facing a predicament like no other business had seen. In the face of this, Cole
couldn’t give a convincing exnation.
Then, the previously unresolved issue of Infinity Media’s contract fraud and sexual bribery of artists
was confirmed.
The government had been observing the Alonso Corporation, and seeing that their situation had
improved, they dyed it in order not to offend anyone. Now that the Alonso family had irretrievably
fallen, they made their stance clear.
Such argepany,mitting contract fraud and forcing artists into dirty deals for profit, was
an inhumane and intolerable act.
Although this had been established before, now that it was confirmed by the relevant department,
it sparked public outrage.
“Sure, they only spilled the beans when the Alonso Corporation was in deep shit, but man, it felt
good. Nothing’s more satisfying than giving the Alonso family a punch in the gut at this tirne.”
“Serves them right! Disgustingpany, they deserve to go under!”
“Just yesterday, Wendy and Grace were threatening us, and now they’re in a pickle. It’s so damn
thrilling!”
“Ms. Summers is a real badass. She actually managed to win twenty billion
“Twenty billion, holy hell! I still can’t believe how Chloe convinced Rhys to gamble with her?”
“But the point is, she actually won! She wanted that twenty billion, and lo and behold, she got
“She might just be too badass! I wonder how the Alonso Corporation is gonna dig itself out of this
hole?”
Every time I see someone from the Alonso family, I feel sick to my stomach!”
i miss Ms. Summers! Wonder when she’ll be back in H Country!”
Meanwhile, Chloe had already boarded her ne. She had the IOU, she got the twenty billion, and
all the casinos in Las Vegas were scared shed de them out and started turning Chloe away for all
sorts of reasons.
Chloe, Damon, Kane, and Nathan were left with nowhere to go, so they decided to head back to H
Country
