Chapter 1568

She wore an apricot-colored, slim-fitting, high-waisted evening gown. The long skirt was adornedwith intricate floral patterns embroidered with colored threads. With every subtle movement, theembroidered flowers on her gown shimmered with colorful radiance under the crystal chandelierlights.

The neckline featured a special collar design, and the delicate tailoring accentuated her shoulders,giving them a sharp, angular look. Her arms were slender, her legs long and straight, and theflowing skirt had a graceful drape that made her appear remarkably poised and elegant.

In the simplest and most elegant attire, with a tall and slender figure, she exuded a commandingpresence. It was a demeanor of cool, aloof confidence, and her clear eyes revealed a faintlyindifferent smile. Her striking features carried an innate air of nobility and haughtiness.

Simply standing there, she seemed to gather all the radiance in the room. The light enveloped her,forming a halo of soft, captivating luminescence.b2 Every eye was riveted on her, their pupilsreflecting surprise, confusion, and anticipation.

Chloe stood on stage, calmly accepting the attention focused on her. She lifted the microphone, herclear voice slowly echoing from every corner of the room. "Good evening, everyone. I am Chloe.First and foremost, I must thank you all for your generous contributions this evening. This project isindeed worth investing in, and I can assure you that your decision will prove profitable."

A wave of fervor swept the room.

"Could... could it be that the largest shareholder of the Alonso family is Ms. Summers?!"

"No wonder! No wonder she was so supportive of this project from the start. So that's why."

"Of course! I wondered why Ms. Summers, being so clever, would walk into a trap set by Wendy.Yet, it seems she's the real victor tonight."

"So it seems that Mr. Harper's two hundred billion was well placed. Investing in his wife's businessis certainly not a matter to be frugal about."

"Haha, Ms. Summers is truly remarkable. She has managed to quietly acquire control of the Alonsofamily."

"Now that the head of the Alonso family is Ms. Summers, I have full confidence in my investment.Others may have doubts, but I trust Ms. Summers completely."

"No! Impossible! How can Chloe..." Wendy stared unwaveringly at Chloe, who was calmly speakingon stage.

She refused to believe that the largest shareholder of the Alonso family was this woman.

Her disbelief and twisted expression drew murmurs from the crowd.

"How ironic and pathetic! She thought she would make Ms. Summers uncomfortable tonight, but allher efforts have only served to benefit Ms. Summers."

"Such self-inflicted misery, to think the person she personally invited was Ms. Summers! Did youhear her earlier? She said she saved the best seat for Ms. Summers to show her the success andglory of the Alonso family tonight. Little did she know that the happiest person would be Ms.Summers."

"What a cruel twist of fate! The shares she would've sold her own sister for are now in the hands ofher arch-nemesis."

"I must say, tonight has been full of surprises. I didn't expect such a turn of events."

"True to her reputation, she has taken down many with her quiet moves. Impressive indeed"

"No, it can't be! How could this happen...” Wendy refused to believe it, shaking her head frantically."I transferred the shares to Azriel. I did!"

Chloe glanced at Wendy out of the corner of her eye, a cold smile playing on her lips. "Thank youfor tonight,

Ms. Wendy:

Wendy's face twisted into an expression of horror. "Chloe, you did this on purpose."

Chloe arched an eyebrow, holding the microphone in one hand while the other hand lifted to tousleher naturally voluminous long hair. Her self-assured and casual demeanor was tinged with a touchof arrogance and boldness. "Hmm, I wonder what you mean, Ms. Wendy?"

Her actions and tone were full of gloating and triumph, which stung Wendy's eyes and ears. She letout a cold, bitter laugh. It was the laughter of someone who had reached a dead end, filled withsarcasm and anger.

"So this is your game, Chloe. You knew you had the upper hand all along, yet you remained silent,watching me strut around like a clown, is that it? You replace this amusing, don't you? You're a fraud,deceiving everyone into playing along with your premeditated charade, relishing in their reactions. Isthis your idea of fun?"

Chloe smiled faintly, pulling her hair back and looking down at the woman in the wheelchair onstage. The faint smile on her face turned cooler by the minute.

"You're wrong. It's not everyone, it's just you. It's only when you parade around in front of me,flaunting that you have it all, trying to hurt me, make me care and suffer, wanting to see me helplessand downtrodden, that I feel happy. And you're right, you do look quite the clown, it's truly amusing."

Wendy glared at Chloe, her eyes filled with hatred so intense that it seemed like she wanted to tearChloe apart.

The intense hatred was palpable, and everyone in the room could feel it.

"Well, how could you say that I orchestrated all the things that happened tonight, Ms. Wendy? If Iremember correctly, I was invited here by you. If I didn't come, or if you didn't invite me, then noneof this would've happened. It's not fair to stir up a mess and then try to shift the blame ontosomeone else."

The crowd murmured in agreement, "Yeah, everyone knows that Ms. Summers was invited by Ms.Wendy. Now that she's stirred up trouble, she’s trying to pin it on someone else. What kind of logicis that?"

Chloe pulled a frosty smile on her lips, "Yeah, what kind of logic is that?"

"linvited you? Ha, everyone knows the only reason I invited you was to humiliate you. But not onlydid you not avoid it, you actually showed up. If people didn't get it before, they will now. Chloe, youcame here tonight to laugh at me."

"Obviously, as the major stakeholder of the Alonso family, I had to show up. Laughing at you is justa bonus."
