Chapter 1554


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


    boil.


    Why?


    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


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


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


    cruel.


    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 me.


    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 woulde, 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 thepany in the future. Once she got


    married, they would have a reason to reim 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 toote? 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 mboyant, 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 sessfully 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 shing in her eyes.

    Damn bitches.


    She was now wearing thetest haute couture from a renowned international luxury brand, adorned


    with top-tier jewelry, and her makeup was wless 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, Wendyposed herself and said with a cold face, "Why are you in such


    a hurry? Didn''t you learn to pay attention to the asion?"


    Phoebe nced 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 asion? 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, ring 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 thepany 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 thepany would only cause chaos. What else could you possibly contribute?"


    Phoebe gave a derisiveugh. "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?"
