Chapter 1554

Watching the two lovebirds parade their affection without a care in the world makes Wendy's bloodboil.

Why?

Who didn't know why she had been locking horns with Chloe till now? Who didn't know that thereason she was bound to a wheelchair was all thanks to them?

She had fought and struggled for so long, only to end up in this pitiful state, while they shamelesslydisplayed their love in front of her, at her own event? It was a cruel joke.

Their actions were tantamount to slapping her in the face. How cruel, Damon, you were really toocruel.

The people around observed Wendy's expression. At first, they showed a bit of sympathy, buteventually, they became indifferent.

After all, the couple was clearly in love. It was Wendy who was stubbornly trying to wedge herself inbetween them. If she hadn't been so obsessed, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation. In theend, she had only herself to blame.

Wendy didn't expect everyone to sympathize with her. But just watching the two of them wasextremely irritating. She gritted her teeth so hard that her entire head was visibly shaking. Shesimply couldn't forgive them.

Seeing Wendy on the verge of losing control, Cole came over and said, "Has your sister arrivedyet? I haven't seen her."

Wendy blinked fiercely, and her anger suddenly cooled down.

"Phoebe? No, she said she would come, so she definitely will. Let's wait a bit longer."

Right, Phoebe. Tonight was not only about the Alonso family raising funds, but also about givingPhoebe a chance to shine.

Most of the people present were either rich or powerful. If Phoebe could catch someone's eye or benoticed by someone, it would undoubtedly be beneficial for the Alonso family. The Bowles familyway didn't work out, so they weren't in a hurry to pressure her. They just needed to provide her withthe absolutely advantageous environment.

Marrying her into a good family would be beneficial to the company in the future. Once she gotmarried, they would have a reason to reclaim most of the shares of the Alonso family that she held.After all, once Phoebe's shares were in hand, Wendy's position in the Alonso family would beunshakeable.

So tonight, Phoebe was also one of the main characters.

"The public investment segment is about to start, and she still hasn't arrived. What's the point if shearrives too late? Call her and ask why she's not here yet."

Cole said with a serious face. What he said was true, but his main intention was to prevent Wendyfrom causing a scene because of Chloe. Otherwise, the business banquet tonight would bedoomed.

"Okay, I'll call her now."

Wendy nodded and was about to turn around and leave when she saw Phoebe walking in from theentrance.

She wore a pale aqua evening gown cinched at the waist, with a bare shoulder and a hint ofdécolletage. Her long hair was carefully styled into natural curls, and her makeup, while subtle, wasevidently expertly done. Whoever had dressed her had done an excellent job. She looked fresh andnatural, and her attire was perfectly suited to her. Few people had seen Phoebe like this.

Usually, she was a bookworm who stayed at school and didn't know how to dress up. She rarelyattended banquets, and even when Grace and Wendy had someone dress her up, they wouldn't lether steal their limelight.

She was not flamboyant, not conspicuous, and virtually invisible.

Even though she was the second daughter of the Alonso family, no one paid attention to her. Butnow, her appearance successfully drew the attention of everyone present.

She lifted her long skirt and ran towards the banquet hall. As she looked back, there was a hint ofnervousness in her expression, but it was exactly that look that made her seem so alive.

Compared to the obedient, dull bookworm she usually was, the difference was stark.

Wendy watched Phoebe, a spark of jealousy flashing in her eyes.

Damn bitches.

She was now wearing the latest haute couture from a renowned international luxury brand, adornedwith top-tier jewelry, and her makeup was flawless at all times. However, she was now sitting in awheelchair.

All the fancy clothes, luxurious jewelry, and exquisite makeup couldn't hide the fact that she wasdisabled. And everyone knew she had spent a dirty night with an idiot.

If it was the old her, how could she let such an event be dominated by these bitches?

As Phoebe approached, Wendy composed herself and said with a cold face, "Why are you in sucha hurry? Didn't you learn to pay attention to the occasion?"

Phoebe glanced towards the door, intending to replace a corner to hide in, but hearing Wendy's voice,she paused.

Looking down at the wheelchair in front of her, Phoebe's previously nervous face quickly cooleddown. "Strange, when did you ever tell me to pay attention to the occasion? Aren't these partiesusually where you're fighting to be the princess?" Phoebe ruthlessly exposed Wendy's intentions.

Everyone inevitably turned their gaze to Wendy because of her words. Only then did they notice herextravagant outfit for the night.

Wendy felt a wave of embarrassment and bit her lip, glaring at Phoebe. "You're the daughter of theAlonso family. No one can steal your spotlight. Don't you feel guilty saying that?"

"Really? So I'm also the daughter of the Alonso family. Father, is that true?"

Phoebe chuckled and turned her gaze to Cole.

Cole was taken aback by Phoebe's sudden question, slightly annoyed by her unexpected actionand attitude. "What kind of question is that? When has the family ever not treated you as one?"

"Really? Well, in that case, I'd like to join the company as well. What do you think?"

Cole was taken aback, his brows furrowing in just a couple of seconds. Irritation was written all overhis face. "Have you finished your studies? You have no clue about our business.

Joining the company would only cause chaos. What else could you possibly contribute?"

Phoebe gave a derisive laugh. "At the very least, I haven't done anything to disgrace the wholefamily. I may not understand the business, but who's to say that Wendy does? If she can learn, socan I. More importantly, I believe that the employees would prefer me over her. So what if I don'tknow anything? Have you heard the rumors about her? If she were to take over, do you honestlythink the employees would be willing to follow her?"
