Chapter 1477

Even though Cole was laying the flattery on thick, he was actually in a good mood. Hearing his words was like a breath of fresh air."Shouldn't we also congratulate Mr. Alonso on scoring such a great son-in-law?" Cole's face stiffened a bit. He wasn't exactly thrilled. Grace and Heather, standing behind him, shared a glance and a subtle grin. Heather even said, "Abelard's the lucky one. Phoebe's sharp as a tack. Even if Abelard takes off, I'dbe comfortable handing the company over to her." That was a clear signal. If Phoebe was game, everything in the Bowles family would be hers. Cole's face softened a bit. At least he was doing right by Phoebe. Grace felt a twinge of discomfort, thinking that the damn woman was getting ahead. But then she remembered that Phoebe was still the daughter of the Alonso family. So, didn't thatmean that everything in the Bowles family would also belong to the Alonso family? Thinking about this, the smile on her face deepened. "Phoebe's really lucked out. Compared to ourWendy, her fate is miles better. I've done right by my poor, late sister, making sure her daughter isset." Everyone knew who she was referring to as her "late sister," Phoebe's deceased mother. Everyone laughed along, but they knew the truth. How Alicia had died was revealed on the day of Chloe and Damon Harper's engagement, andeveryone knew. If there was nothing fishy about it, who would bring it up? Everyone knew that she was trying to clear her own name. But the laughable part was... Did she think marrying her daughter off to a dolt was doing right by her mother? She was really doing a bang-up job, even trading her daughter's happiness for the business valueof the Alonso Corporation.

Heather adjusted her hair and didn't comment on Grace's words. "Ms. Alonso always had a unique taste. I'm sure she'll land on her feet." "Indeed. After all... she's the daughter of the Alonso family, the future head of the family. Herhusband is bound to be exceptional." Everyone was full of compliments, and Grace's face lit up more and more. Finally, she checked the time, figured it was about time, and stood upright, scanning the room. After a quick look around, she asked confusedly, "Where's Phoebe? She was upset earlier, shedidn't leave, did she?" Cole looked around, and sure enough, no sign of Phoebe. His expression turned cold. "That brat is getting out of hand!" Grace patted his arm gently, trying to soothe him. "I asked her to spend some time with Mr. Bowles, she wouldn't just leave like this. I'll go replace her..." She turned to Heather, saying, "Mrs. Bowles, can you tell me where your grandson is?" Heather looked around. "He was changing clothes just now, he should still be in his room." Grace's eyes lit up. "Oh really? Maybe the young couple is in there chatting?" The lady looked puzzled. "How could that be? I just saw the two Alonso sisters together..." Grace frowned and shot the lady a stern look. Mentioning her daughter made her uneasy. "Why don't we go check the room first?" Grace paid no attention to Wendy's disappearance, gave Heather a nod, and followed her lead. In Abelard's changing room, Heather knocked on the door first. The room was on the first floor, bustling with people. The door should have been locked whenchanging. But after knocking and getting no response, Grace grabbed the doorknob and easily opened thedoor. Grace, all smiles, opened the door before Heather could say anything. The high-quality wooden door opened, drawing a crowd. As soon as the door opened, Grace let out a shriek.

Everyone looked towards the room. It was a mess. But the most eye-catching sight was the two people sprawled on the floor. "Oh my god!" "This is shocking." People covered their eyes and commented awkwardly. The door was quickly closed, blocking everyone's view. Grace had only taken a quick glance and didn't notice who the two people in the room were. Once she heard the gasps from the crowd, she quickly shut the door. She then awkwardly looked at Heather. "Well... I didn't expect young people nowadays to move so fast... But it's no big deal, they're meantto end up together anyway..." Heather's lips curled into a slight smile. She wasn't bothered. After all, her grandson knew how totreat a woman, and she didn't need to worry about the Bowles family's lineage. However, Grace's words left some people feeling dissatisfied and confused. "Considering how Ms. Alonso was with Mr. Bowles just now, it doesn't seem like they're moving thatfast..." "Yeah... that was a bit too fast..." "The party's not even over, and they're already so eager, it's just..." Before the person could finish, Cole sensed the sarcasm. He was instantly enraged, marched up to the door, and started banging on it. "Phoebe, get out here!" Grace rushed up to stop Cole. "Cole, calm down. It's normal for young people to be together.There's nothing wrong with it. Besides, their good relationship now will make their married lifesmoother..." Cole's face was filled with anger. "I'm humiliated! Why would she do something like this at such atime? Does she have no self-respect?" Grace kept trying to persuade, "As long as they're in love, that's all that matters! What's there to beembarrassed about?"

As she spoke, her face became slightly serious, and she turned to Heather and said, "Heather,since things have already come to this, we might as well discuss their wedding now..." Heather nodded. "Sure." But Cole still felt incredibly uncomfortable. His daughter's actions disappointed him greatly. Ignoring Grace's attempts to stop him, he raised his hand and banged on the door again! "Phoebe, come out right now!" "Come out where? Where do you want me to go?"
