The moment Damon walked in, he was intercepted by Cole. Chloe greeted Damon and they partedways temporarily. Damon's gaze followed her for a moment, sweeping over the two people by herside. Only when they were following closely behind Chloe did he withdraw his gaze.

"What are you trying to say?"

Cole frowned at Damon, "I'm surprised you showed up today, I thought you'd cut all ties with theAlonso family.’

"I came with my wife. It has nothing to do with your Alonso family.'b2

"Damon, what did the Alonso family ever do to you that you can be so heartless?"

"Well, for starters, isn't the Alonso family the main reason why I lost everything in the Harperfamily?"

Cole paused, then sneered, "You knew the consequences of offending us, so why were you sostubborn back then? Wendy loved you; she could have given you so much, including the entireAlonso dynasty. But you had to have that woman. You lost your position as Chairman and CEO ofHarper Group, and even your grandfather was deeply disappointed in you. Look at you now, withnothing to your name, is this what you wanted?"

Damon frowned, “Aren't you tired of this?"

"What?"

"I've heard the same thing too many times. If you're just trying to take the opportunity to ridicule me,you're far from it."

Cole laughed with rage, looking at Damon, he said angrily, "Wendy has changed into a differentperson because of you. I just thought about the one who started this mess should be the one tofinish it.

In consideration of the fact that I saw you grow up, I gave you a chance to return to her, but you'restill so stubborn. Damon, what do you think you are now without the Harper family? Even if youhave the ability, do you think your uncle would give you a chance to start over? Let me tell you,even if he allows it, I won't. You've made my daughter suffer enough, and it's damn time you paidthe price. I want to see how long you can hold out."

Damon smirked, "I'm waiting to see what price you can make me pay. There's one thing I hopeyou'll understand sooner rather than later. The Alonso family, their only use now, is nothing morethan a plaything for Chloe. Don't think you can use the Alonso family to pressure me. Including theHarper family, none of you are qualified.”

Cole was enraged by Damon's calm tone, after staring at Damon for a while, he said coldly:'I'd liketo see what kind of storm you can stir up.’

But Damon had long since stopped paying attention to him, his gaze had already returned to Chloe.

"You..." Cole was left speechless by Damon's disregard, "really do not know your place.’

Wendy had been greeting guests all along, but her attention was always on Damon, who wasstanding with Cole. There was no expression on his face, the same indifference as always. Even ifhe occasionally smiled, it was sarcastic and cold. She didn't know what they were talking about, butshe could tell that her father didn't look pleased.

When Cole left with a face full of anger, Wendy immediately went to his side. "Dad, what were youtalking about with Damon?"

Cole was still angry, and he snapped at Wendy, "What are you still expecting?! He's made you likethis, and you still care about him?!"

Wendy was silent for a moment.

Cole realized he'd been too aggressive, so he said, "I was just trying to persuade him to return tothe Harper family. After all, he's a Harper. Presley may not say it, but he must be hoping for it, right?

It's outrageous that he's fighting with his own grandfather over a woman."

Disappointment flashed in Wendy's eyes, "But clearly, he didn't agree to return to the Harper family.”

Cole sighed, "He will not come back until he hits a dead end."

Wendy nodded, "He really needs to suffer a bit to understand what's most important in this worldand who truly cares for him."

Cole didn't continue the conversation, he looked around and nodded in satisfaction. "There arequite a few people who came to the banquet today, including some major businesses and topinvestors. Remember to treat them well, we should be able to secure quite a few investmentstonight. And what about Mr. Azriel, has he arrived yet?"

"Not yet, but he's a major shareholder in the company now, I think he'll show up tonight.”

"Right. But don't worry. Even though he's currently the major shareholder, Phoebe still has someshares. I'll talk to her and temporarily transfer her shares to you, so your position in the companywill remain unshaken. But dont let your feelings cloud your judgment again. The Alonso family can'tafford any more turmoil, do you understand?!"

Cole's favoritism brought a smile to Wendy's face. "Thank you for your trust, Dad. I won't let youdown."

"Good. It's enough that you know I have expectations for you."

Although he said this, he was still uneasy. Wendy's current state of mind made him suspicious, if itweren't for the fact that they needed to rely on Princess Ava from Y Country in the future, hewouldn't have handed the Alonso family to her.

Apart from Wendy, who else in the Alonso family could he rely on?

Phoebe? Growing up, she was always the obedient one. But all those years, she was merely abookworm, a scholar with no real-world experience in running a business. And now, there wasnobody capable to guide her through the intricacies of the corporate world. She lacked professionalknowledge and a reliable backing. How on earth was she supposed to run the company?

He shook his head, sighing deeply. However, Wendy's attention had long since drifted away fromhim.

Chloe was already surrounded by a group of eager and restless individuals. She declined the offerof drinks from the others, retreated to a relatively safe place, and asked them with a smile, "Whatseems to be the problem, gentlemen?"

The group chuckled nervously. "We were just wondering, Ms.

Summers, if your presence here is merely as an invited guest, or if you're planning to get a piece ofthe pie in this project.”

Chloe replied with a smile, "This project indeed offers a golden opportunity, one that even theprestigious Alonso family couldn't resist. It's a chance not to be missed, gentlemen.’

They looked surprised. "So you have no concerns about the Alonso family's miraculouscomeback?"

"You're worried that I might sabotage the Alonso family's endeavors again, causing yourinvestments to go down the drain, aren't you?"

The group's faces turned red with embarrassment.
