Chapter 1568
She wore an apricot-colored, slim-fitting, high-waisted evening gown. The long skirt was adorned
with intricate floral patterns embroidered with colored threads. With every subtle movement, the
embroidered flowers on her gown shimmered with colorful radiance under the crystal chandelier
lights.
The neckline featured a special cor design, and the delicate tailoring entuated her shoulders,
giving them a sharp, angr look. Her arms were slender, her legs long and straight, and the
flowing skirt had a graceful drape that made her appear remarkably poised and elegant.
In the simplest and most elegant attire, with a tall and slender figure, she exuded amanding
presence. It was a demeanor of cool, aloof confidence, and her clear eyes revealed a faintly
indifferent smile. Her striking features carried an innate air of nobility and haughtiness.
Simply standing there, she seemed to gather all the radiance in the room. The light enveloped her,
forming a halo of soft, captivating luminescence.b2 Every eye was riveted on her, their pupils
reflecting surprise, confusion, and anticipation.
Chloe stood on stage, calmly epting the attention focused on her. She lifted the microphone, her
clear voice slowly echoing from every corner of the room. "Good evening, everyone. I am Chloe.
First and foremost, I must thank you all for your generous contributions this evening. This project is
indeed worth investing in, and I can assure you that your decision will prove profitable."
A wave of fervor swept the room.
"Could... could it be that thergest shareholder of the Alonso family is Ms. Summers?!"
"No wonder! No wonder she was so supportive of this project from the start. So that''s why."
"Of course! I wondered why Ms. Summers, being so clever, would walk into a trap set by Wendy.
Yet, it seems she''s the real victor tonight."
"So it seems that Mr. Harper''s two hundred billion was well ced. Investing in his wife''s business
is certainly not a matter to be frugal about."
"Haha, Ms. Summers is truly remarkable. She has managed to quietly acquire control of the Alonso
family."
"Now that the head of the Alonso family is Ms. Summers, I have full confidence in my investment.
Others may have doubts, but I trust Ms. Summerspletely."
"No! Impossible! How can Chloe..." Wendy stared unwaveringly at Chloe, who was calmly speaking
on stage.
She refused to believe that thergest shareholder of the Alonso family was this woman.
Her disbelief and twisted expression drew murmurs from the crowd.
"How ironic and pathetic! She thought she would make Ms. Summers ufortable tonight, but all
her efforts have only served to benefit Ms. Summers."
"Such self-inflicted misery, to think the person she personally invited was Ms. Summers! Did you
hear her earlier? She said she saved the best seat for Ms. Summers to show her the sess and
glory of the Alonso family tonight. Little did she know that the happiest person would be Ms.
Summers."
"What a cruel twist of fate! The shares she would''ve sold her own sister for are now in the hands of
her arch-nemesis."
"I must say, tonight has been full of surprises. I didn''t expect such a turn of events."
"True to her reputation, she has taken down many with her quiet moves. Impressive indeed"
"No, it can''t be! How could this happen...” Wendy refused to believe it, shaking her head frantically.
"I transferred the shares to Azriel. I did!"
Chloe nced at Wendy out of the corner of her eye, a cold smile ying on her lips. "Thank you
for tonight,

Ms. Wendy:
Wendy''s face twisted into an expression of horror. "Chloe, you did this on purpose."
Chloe arched an eyebrow, holding the microphone in one hand while the other hand lifted to tousle
her naturally voluminous long hair. Her self-assured and casual demeanor was tinged with a touch
of arrogance and boldness. "Hmm, I wonder what you mean, Ms. Wendy?"
Her actions and tone were full of gloating and triumph, which stung Wendy''s eyes and ears. She let
out a cold, bitterugh. It was theughter of someone who had reached a dead end, filled with
sarcasm and anger.
"So this is your game, Chloe. You knew you had the upper hand all along, yet you remained silent,
watching me strut around like a clown, is that it? You find this amusing, don''t you? You''re a fraud,
deceiving everyone into ying along with your premeditated charade, relishing in their reactions. Is
this your idea of fun?"
Chloe smiled faintly, pulling her hair back and looking down at the woman in the wheelchair on
stage. The faint smile on her face turned cooler by the minute.
"You''re wrong. It''s not everyone, it''s just you. It''s only when you parade around in front of me,
unting that you have it all, trying to hurt me, make me care and suffer, wanting to see me helpless
and downtrodden, that I feel happy. And you''re right, you do look quite the clown, it''s truly amusing."
Wendy red at Chloe, her eyes filled with hatred so intense that it seemed like she wanted to tear
Chloe apart.
The intense hatred was palpable, and everyone in the room could feel it.
"Well, how could you say that I orchestrated all the things that happened tonight, Ms. Wendy? If I
remember correctly, I was invited here by you. If I didn''te, or if you didn''t invite me, then none
of this would''ve happened. It''s not fair to stir up a mess and then try to shift the me onto
someone else."
The crowd murmured in agreement, "Yeah, everyone knows that Ms. Summers was invited by Ms.
Wendy. Now that she''s stirred up trouble, she’s trying to pin it on someone else. What kind of logic
is that?"
Chloe pulled a frosty smile on her lips, "Yeah, what kind of logic is that?"
"linvited you? Ha, everyone knows the only reason I invited you was to humiliate you. But not only
did you not avoid it, you actually showed up. If people didn''t get it before, they will now. Chloe, you
came here tonight tough at me."
"Obviously, as the major stakeholder of the Alonso family, I had to show up. Laughing at you is just
a bonus."
