"Of course, the main reason is that as the major shareholder of the Alonso Corporation, I had toshow up and lend my support. The secondary reason... well, that would be to see you make a foolof yourself? Chloe nodded, making it clear that she had no intention of hiding her deliberateintention to mock Wendy.

Their rivalry was well known in their circle, and it was on full display at tonight's party, where theanimosity between them was magnified and laid bare for all to see.

And the root of it all was Wendy's arrogance. She thought that the Alonso Corporation was on thecusp of a major comeback and that its success would be unstoppable. And she was desperate toregain her standing in Chloe's eyes. But a loser was always a loser. And Wendy was doomed tolose.

Wendy shook her head, her pale face showing a faint glimmer of hope.b2 "Chloe, don't be so smug.Your status as the major shareholder of the Alonso Corporation is only temporary."

"What do you mean?" Chloe interrupted Wendy with a scoff.

Wendy gritted her teeth and forced a smile, "You only hold 30% of the Alonso Corporation's shares."

"Are you referring to the leftover shares that were unclaimed and floating around in the stock marketwhen the Alonso Corporation's stock was on the brink of collapsing?"

Wendy's eyes widened in surprise, "What are you implying?"

Chloe replied with an innocent smile, "Although those shares were considered a hot potato toothers, I wasn't afraid to catch them. I had to do whatever it took to ensure my successful marriage.So, of course, I bought those shares."

Wendy's face turned pale in shack. "So, all those shares in the stock market, they're all in yourhands..."

Upon hearing this, a chill crept over Robin's face. He had suspected this possibility, but he didn'tthink that a young woman like Chloe could cause such a stir.

The Alonso Corporation's stock had been on the brink of collapse, and the situation was extremelydangerous.

Despite a slight improvement due to the involvement of Princess Ava of Y Country, the company'sfate was still hanging by a thread.

Under such circumstances, who would dare to acquire the Alonso Corporation's shares? Everyoneavoided them like the plague. Otherwise, why would everyone have given up their shares, allowingthose shares to drift unclaimed in the stock market? Yet, this woman dared to purchase thoseshares.

Robin had hoped to seize control of the Alonso Corporation unexpectedly, but he wasoutmaneuvered by Chloe.

The guests and reporters at the party were shocked by this revelation.

"So Ms. Summers holds more than 60% of the Alonso Corporation's shares? That's more than half."

"But the corporate law clearly states that no one can hold more than 50% of a company's shares.What Ms.

Summers did..."

"What's there to worry about? Haven't you noticed Mr. Harper by her side? Who said that all theshares had to be in her name?"

"That's true."

"No, this can't be.” Wendy thought something seemed off. This thought had crossed her mind, butshe didn't dare to entertain it. She always thought that she couldn't possibly be so unlucky in life.And she couldnt possibly keep losing to Chloe, especially not in such a devastating way.

Surely, she should have some good luck at some point.

Wasn't it said that fortunes change? Why was she always the one who ended up losing?! Why didshe keep losing to Chloe?!

Now, she only held 5% of the shares. In front of Chloe, she didn't even have the right to speak.

In the future, she would only be suppressed by Chloe. And her fate would be at Chloe's mercy.

No, she would never let this happen! The Alonso Corporation was hers, and she needed theshares.

Her eyes were bloodshot as they darted around frantically.

Despite the numerous setbacks, she had never thought about giving up. Her tenacity wasimpressive if it weren't for the fact that she was using it for the wrong reasons.

Shares...

The majority of the shares were in Chloe's hands. It would be impossible for her to overpower Chloewith shares. But she couldn't just give up on the Alonso Corporation. She would cling to it for herlife. And she would never let Chloe control her easily.

If only she had enough shares...

Suddenly, her eyes froze, and she turned to look at Phoebe, who was sitting nearby, her expressioncompletely caught off guard.

Feeling Wendy's fierce gaze, Phoebe was taken aback, "What do you want?"

Wendy moved closer to her. Ignoring the pain, she raised her injured hands and grabbed Phoebe'sarm tightly.

"Give me your shares!"

Phoebe's arm instantly felt a stinging pain, and her face instantly turned a few shades of pale fromthe pain.

"Wendy, have you lost your mind?!"

"I said give me your shares!! What use are they to you?! Phoebe, I'm begging you, don't you have aheart? Do you want to see me killed by Chloe?"

Phoebe forcefully shook off Wendy's hand, "You're insane. Who's trying to kill you?!"

Wendy was acting erratically, as if she had lost control. She clung to Phoebe, pleading desperately."Phoebe, you'll help your sister out, won't you?" Wendy pleaded. "You're planning on marrying Mr.Azriel, right? You're going to sever all ties with the Alonso family, correct? Consider it a parting gift,and for the sake of keeping you company when we were kids, give me all the shares in your hand."

Phoebe felt a surge of anger at Wendy's audacity. Ignoring her own pain, she jerked her arm awayfrom Wendy's grip, her voice laced with fury, "What do you mean ‘parting gift’? You all sold me offlike I was some item at a yard sale, and now you expect me to give you a parting gift. Wendy,you've really hit a new low. I think you've lost your mind. Maybe you should get your head checkedout at the hospital."

"I said give them to me! Did you not hear me?" Wendy suddenly screamed.

The sharpness of her voice silenced the room, which had been buzzing with chatter. The echo stillhung in every corner of the banquet hall, as everyone turned to look at Wendy in surprise.

Phoebe furrowed her eyebrows, staring at the hysterical woman in front of her like she was amonster. The Wendy she knew from before was always selfish, but she had always carried herselfwith the dignity expected of the Alonso family's daughter and future head of the family.
