However, as soon as he lifted his hand, a very bland voice echoed across the room.

The tension in the crowd grew even more. Everyone instinctively followed the sound and discoveredthat the speaker was none other than Damon, the most understated man of the evening.

Even Grace and Wendy, who had rushed over, stopped in surprise. Everyone looked at him inconfusion, as if they hadn't heard what he'd said, or perhaps they were simply perplexed by hisstatement.

Cole, who had been about to raise his phone, looked at Damon in confusion.b2 "Damon, what didyou just say?" Wendy asked, her voice filled with confusion.

"Twenty billion. That's my investment for the Alonso family."

"What the hell is going on here?"

"Wasn't he avoiding the Alonso family like the plague? Why is he so eager to invest now?"

"No clue, no clue, I have no idea what he's thinking this time, leaving the Harper family and thenrushing to establish a relationship with the Alonso family. Could it be because this project is just toogood?"

Even Presley sitting to Damon's left was taken aback and scoffed. "You were just talking aboutselling sentiments, and now you're clinging to this project. Damon, don't you think you're doingthings without any principles right now?"

Damon was nonchalant, "Of course I have both."

Presley, of course, had no idea what he meant.

On the other hand, Wendy was so excited she was about to cry. Damon actually investing in theAlonso family's project was something she had never anticipated.

What did he mean? Was... was he deciding to let bygones be bygones?

Wendy bit her lip, staring at him with anticipation and grievance, hoping to get a friendly look inreturn. Even a single glance would make her forget all the past grievances.

However, Damon didn't look at her once. Instead, Chloe, who was sitting next to him, leaned incloser, casually propping her cheek on her hand and asked him. "Where'd you get twenty billion?"

Damon glanced at her, "Your sugar mama money?"

Chloe couldn't help but chuckle. Was this something a seemingly serious, aloof, and noblemanwould say?

She was momentarily embarrassed, and her hand that was propping her cheek instinctively movedto cover her face, as she awkwardly tried to hide her embarrassment.

It was truly shocking.

Sugar mama money?

If you really want to put it that way... Uh... It seemed accurate.

This twenty billion, wasn't it her money to keep him? But when she said it, it wasn't as embarrassingas it was now.

Chloe didn't know what to say for a moment, she just sat there covering her face, trying to adjust tothe embarrassment.

Phoebe, who was still seething with anger at Cole, had nothing but rage for Damon's words."Damon, you...

you're investing twenty billion in the Alonso family?!"

Damon replied softly, "It's worth the investment:

Phoebe let out a bitter laugh, "The Alonso family is worth investing in? Huh, how good can thisproject be?

Twenty billion, you could do your own project and the profits wouldn't be much different, right?!Why?"

"Phoebe, shut up! Do you really hope the Alonso family is ruined?! You monster!"

Seeing Phoebe about to make a scene again, Cole's hand, which was still raised, fell with hiswords.

Phoebe, her eyes red with anger, glared at him. "Get lost!!" She raised her hands and pushed himaway.

Cole stumbled back a few steps before regaining his balance. He stared at Phoebe in disbelief,"You..."

"That's right, no one in the world wants the Alonso family to fall more than I do. If it wasn't for thewealth and power of the Alonso family, Grace wouldn't be coveting the position of your wife, and mymother wouldn't have been killed because of her. You know that my mother's death is related to her,but you turn a blind eye and a deaf ear. You're covering for the murderer who killed your wife, mymother! You're all guilty!

"Now, you want to sell me out to get shares in the company for the child of a murderer. Cole, you'renot my father, you have no right to be my father. It's all because of the Alonso family.

You killed my mother, and now you want to persecute me. Let me tell you, it's not possible, neverpossible! If it wasn't for the Alonso family, none of this would have happened. So it's best if theAlonso family is destroyed.

Everything will be fine then."

Phoebe's hysterical words scared Grace till she was pale.

Murderer. This bitch actually called her a murderer in public?! "Cole! Colel! Phoebe's crazy, she'scrazy. You need to get her out of here."

Phoebe laughed coldly, her eyes as cold and calm as a snake as she looked at Grace. "For theposition of a socialite, you turned yourself into a murderer. Grace, you're the crazy one. And you,Cole, you've been sleeping with a murderer for so many years. Aren't you afraid she'll stab you inthe middle of the night?"

Cole's body went cold, clearly chilled by Phoebe's words. "You..."

"Enough." Azriel, who was sitting nearby, suddenly spoke up, pulling Phoebe into his arms. "Calmdown for now.

You can lose it after the party."

"Let go of me. It's all because of you and your meddling, otherwise, the Alonso family would havebeen destroyed a long time ago."

Tonight, Azriel had the full experience of the real Phoebe; the innocent lamb he thought he knewwas indeed a fierce little wolf. She was baring her teeth and claws alright. She was furious now,

biting anyone she encountered.

"Enough with your tantrums. No matter how loud you get, you can't change anything. Instead ofusing your energy to...” Azriel paused, reaching into his pocket. After rummaging around for a bit,he took out a lollipop and offered it to Phoebe. "Instead of using your energy to create a fuss, whynot use it to enjoy a sweet?

Hmm?"

Phoebe's gaze froze on the lollipop, her eyes filled with confusion and curiosity as she looked up atAzriel. The overwhelming anger radiating from her slowly eased off.

Azriel peeled off the wrapper and offered the lollipop to Phoebe's lips. "It's peach-flavored. Openwide."
