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 askwhat 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 andeasily found the reason.
“According to our investigation, there was a high–stakes gamble last night at a major casino in LasVegas. The participants were Viscount Rhys, who just announced his withdrawal of funding from theAlonso family, and another one whom we believe you can all guess- That’s the internationallyrenowned Leader perfumer, domestic Starlight International CEO, Chloe Summers, thegranddaughter of Y Country’s Queen Julia. It is said that Viscount Rhys lost the 20 billion destinedfor 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. Thismight have been the most helpless and stressful moment of his life.
Even when Peck Innovations stole his business, and the company’s stock plummeted, he never feltthis 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, butnow 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 simultaneousproject development, huh… I’d like to see how you plan to do that now!” The executive Wendy justthreatened 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 Chloedefinitely did it on purpose! Why would she just fly from Y Country to Las Vegas? She must havegone to see Rhys! Exactly 20 billion, she just snatched away the 20 billion Rhys was supposed togive 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’t coming back toyou. It just shows you’re far behind Ms. Summers of Starlight International. Maybe you can’t evencompare!
“Now, I guess the Alonso Corporation’s stock has probably crashed. Mr. Alonso, look, Wendy isreally capable, she can actually destroy such a big family and corporation! I don’t need Wendy tokick me out. I can’t stay in this company 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 the company, but does she even stand a chance?”
“Good riddance, it saves us the trouble and disappointment later.”
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 themoon, singing praises.
An hour after the news was released, the Alonso Corporation’s stocks plummeted. This stormcaused the Alonso Corporation’s funds to decrease by
another 10%.
The previous losses were irreversible, with now more losses from the stock fell. The AlonsoCorporation was facing a predicament like no other business had seen. In the face of this, Colecouldn’t give a convincing explanation.
Then, the previously unresolved issue of Infinity Media’s contract fraud and sexual bribery of artistswas confirmed.
The government had been observing the Alonso Corporation, and seeing that their situation hadimproved, they delayed it in order not to offend anyone. Now that the Alonso family had irretrievablyfallen, they made their stance clear.
Such a large company, committing contract fraud and forcing artists into dirty deals for profit, wasan 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 feltgood. Nothing’s more satisfying than giving the Alonso family a punch in the gut at this tirne.”
“Serves them right! Disgusting company, they deserve to go under!”
“Just yesterday, Wendy and Grace were threatening us, and now they’re in a pickle. It’s so damnthrilling!”
“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 thishole?”
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 plane. She had the IOU, she got the twenty billion, andall the casinos in Las Vegas were scared shed de them out and started turning Chloe away for allsorts of reasons.
Chloe, Damon, Kane, and Nathan were left with nowhere to go, so they decided to head back to HCountry
