Chapter 1558


    Azriel lifted his eyes, his hand still lightly touching the back of his hand that had been bitten by


    someone, and he said generously, "It''s just a loss of thirty billion. It''s too early to talk about


    disappointment."


    Suddenly, Phoebe in front of him turned around, looking up with a pair of red eyes, ring at Azriel.


    "Are you the one who invested thirty billion in the Alonso family?!"


    Azriel hooked the corner of his mouth and spoke casually, "Why?


    Can''t do that?"


    Phoebe''s refined eyes instantly kindled two clusters of mes. "I heard you were not interested in


    the Alonso family just now?"b2 "Yep."


    "Why did you suddenly want to give it thirty billion? Are you crazy?"


    Phoebe, with her petite figure, stood in front of Azriel, who towered over her. She seemed like a


    small sparrow squawking defiantly in front of a hawk. Her angry demeanor was not terrifying at all.


    "Phoebe, get out!" Cole was about to be driven mad by his daughter. At this critical moment, she


    was creating a scene without any sense of propriety. Azriel had kindly invested in the Alonso family,


    and yet, as a member of the Alonso family, he got scolded by her. Wasn''t that ingratitude?


    And what about her tone? Somebody offered three hundred billion in funding to them, and she had


    this ''mind your own business"


    attitude. It nearly drove Cole mad.


    Phoebe, of course, would not listen to Cole and leave. The thought of making the Alonso family


    come back to life made her angry.


    Knowing that the person who helped the Alonso family was the man in front of her, she was even


    more furious. With nowhere to vent her anger, Phoebe looked at the man in front of her with his


    gentle eyebrows and cheerful smile. She lifted her foot and kicked him hard on the leg twice. "Mind


    your own business!"

    Cole almost fainted from her actions. Yet, Phoebe feltpletely relieved. The more Cole


    respected this man, the more she wanted to offend him. Anyway, she was still the second daughter


    of the Alonso family. If she offended him, it would make Cole furious, maybe even ruin the


    partnership, and watching the shock on the faces of the Alonso family members would be the best


    oue for her.


    "Why didn''t I just poison you with pasta?!"


    Everyone didn''t know whatment was, but the word poison was clearly not something positive.


    The face of Mr. Azriel, who had always been courteous, darkened because of her words.


    Wendy saw this and knew she couldn''t let Phoebe continue to act recklessly. She stepped forward


    and held Phoebe. "Phoebe, I beg you, Can you stop making a scene now? Look at yourself, do you


    know what you look like?"


    As she spoke, she stepped forward and blocked Phoebe with her wheelchair. "The fundraising is


    about to begin. If you don''t settle down, don''t me me for not caring about sisterhood."


    Phoebe wanted to say something, but was pulled back by Chloe.


    "Phoebe, that''s enough.” Chloe said lightly, not caring about the suspicious nces from others.


    After all, it seemed like Phoebe''s actions today were really instructed by her. "You should


    understand that no matter how much you make a scene, this business banquet won''t change


    anything."


    Phoebe was unwilling. Her eyes towards Azriel change from anger to disappointment; she bit her lip


    and didn''t want to look at him anymore. She nodded, her eyes a little red. "Yes, you''re right. I''m


    alone, and I can''t change anything. When they want me to give up my shares, I have to give them


    up obediently. I have to marry someone who can help the Alonso family develop, and I have to


    marry obediently. I''m stupid. I''m making a fool of myself in front of so many people, and in the end, I


    can''t change anything."


    Phoebe''s tone was bleak, her smile bitter. Wendy, on the other hand, was smiling, feeling


    extraordinarily happy about what Phoebe had said. Yeah, her only value was this.


    Chloe shook her head and gently patted her shoulder, "You''re overthinking. Who says you''re alone?


    Don''t you still have me?


    Don''t worry. I won''t let what you just said happen."


    Even if she didn''t care, she believed that some people wouldn''t sit back and do nothing. And the


    situation wasn''t as bad as she imagined. Phoebe turned her head, her eyes red and looked at


    Chloe somewhat aggrievedly. When she saw Chloe''s smiling face, her heart inexplicably calmed


    down.


    Wendy saw Chloe quickly calm down the somewhat agitated Phoebe with just a few words and


    snorted coldly to herself. She then turned her gaze to Azriel, who was standing nearby. She smiled


    and said, "Well, Ms. Summers, I just mentioned that I have the opportunity to introduce someone


    who can help the Alonso family through the crisis. Now that we''re all here, this is Mr. Azriel."


    Phoebe, upon hearing Wendy''s obvious attempt to unt her connection with Azriel to Chloe, shot


    Azriel a fierce re. She let go of Chloe''s hand and decided to move away, preferring the "out of


    sight, out of mind" approach.


    However, she had not taken two steps before she passed by Azriel.


    He extended his long arm and blocked her path.


    "Let..." Phoebe raised her hand to push away the arm in front of her, but that arm curled around her


    waist, bringing her into his embrace.


    Everyone was dazzled and didn''t know what had happened.


    Phoebe''s face was buried in Azriel''s chest, her nose aching from the impact against his firm chest,


    tears welling up in her eyes.


    "What the hell are you doing?!"


    Phoebe was really pissed off at this man today. The reason he suddenly dressed her up like this


    was to bring her to a dinner party hosted by the Alonso family?


    She knew that, given his capabilities, he would be able to discover that she was the unfortunate


    second daughter of the Alonso family, neglected by her father and stepmother.


    What was his real motive behind bringing her here? Did he think that because he had helped the


    Alonsos, she should be grateful to him?


    Azriel''srge hand traced its way around her slender nape, gripping with just one hand the sides of


    her face, forcing her to meet his gaze. His actions seemed strange, yet they revealed a man’s


    domineering control over a woman. His eyes bore into Phoebe''s, his voice calm yetced with an


    undertone of indulgence and threat.


    "My old wound hasn''t healed, yet you added a new one for me.


    Where do you think you''re going, huh?"
