What was the saying? Penny wise and pound foolish, that was him. After living for decades andwith one foot already in the grave, he had made such an unseemly scene.

“You think you're something, don't you? You look pretty impressive now, but you think the Harpers,after all they've done wrong, would just roll over and accept you into their family because you'resome kind of princess?

Who's responsible for turning everything into this mess? It was me. It was me who made thishappen, you wouldn't be marrying into the Harper family if it wasn't for me."

Listening to Wendy's unabashed confession and her foul words, Chloe simply responded with afaint smile. She listened to Wendy's tirade, then nodded her head with a smile.

"Yes, Wendy, you're quite formidable, ruining my perfect marriage arrangement? You're right, it wasall because of you that I had no choice but to take the Alonso family as my wedding gifts."b2 Shespoke lightly and calmly, with a sweet and gentle smile, but in just a few words, she delivered aheavy blow to Wendy. This impact also extended to Cole and Grace, who were standing nearbywith faces ashen. Chloe's words were like a lightning bolt striking into their minds. If Wendy had notbeen so stubborn and obsessed with Damon, Presley wouldn't have opposed Damon and Chloe'smarriage.

If they'd been able to marry on schedule, the Alonso family wouldn't even be in this situation now.

So what did Wendy have to gloat about? It was her obsession with the Harpers that had drivenChloe to vow to take control of the Alonso family.

Wendy's face twitched at Chloe's words, she stiffened for a moment before her features contortedinto an unsightly expression.

Again and again.

No matter what she said or did, she could never gain an upper hand over Chloe. Everything she didonly served to help Chloe rise higher. Every word she said was thrown back at her by Chloe,inflicting a thousand times more pain. She bit her lip so hard that the corner of her mouth wasbleeding a bright, eye-catching red.

Admitting defeat to Chloe? Impossible. How could she accept it?

After fighting against Chloe for so long, from initially having the upper hand to ending up withnothing, how could she accept it?

Some may pity the villain in the end, but to Chloe, Wendy wasn't worth an ounce of sympathy.

This wasn't some chicken-and-egg paradox. Wendy started all of this, she was the one who crossedChloe's line time and time again. Even though she was now in a state of madness, disability,hysteria, and utter disarray, Chloe still stared at her with a coldness that seemed devoid of anyemotion. ‘I'm now exercising my rights as the majority shareholder of Alonso Corporation to revokeall positions and powers of Cole and Wendy in the corporation. Also, Wendy is not allowed to setfoot in Alonso Corporation without permission."

At these words, Cole immediately retorted, "On what grounds are you revoking my position andrights, I..."

"Mr. Alonso, since you don't own any shares, why should I grant you any position or rights?"

Cole was stunned into silence, his face filled with despair. "Chloe, you can't...you can't...the Alonsofamily is everything to me."

Chloe gave a cold laugh, “Exactly because it's everything to you, that's why I need to take it back.Mr. Alonso, you should take some time to think about your wife who died of ‘difficult birth’, and yourown daughter who you've ignored since she lost her mother, and whom you've tried to use andeven sell."

Cole stiffened at her words, his gaze slowly turning to Phoebe, who was still sitting in her seat. Herface was filled with mockery, but more than that, there was sadness. Chloe's words clearly spelledout the treatment she had received in the Alonso family over the past two decades. Though shewas his biological daughter, she had ended up being sold.

First, to help Wendy get the company shares, and when that failed, for a whopping three billiondollars.

Three billion, certainly a considerable amount. So it turned out that she, Phoebe, could be worth somuch.

Cole's mouth opened and closed, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Grace had already been terrified, her legs turning to jelly. The past events had been scrutinized anddiscussed, and the company was lost. All those years of hard work, she thought she was going toget everything- the Alonso family, innumerable riches, and power. But along the way, she ended upwith nothing.

So what was the point of her painstakingly climbing to Ms. Grace's position?

Seeing this, Chloe knew that tonight's drama had to come to an end. "Thank you all for attendingthis banquet tonight, and please forgive any disturbances. I, on behalf of the Alonso family, promiseyou all that this project will meet everyone's expectations, and the Alonso family will ensure yoursatisfaction at any cost. And with that, tonight's Alonso Corporation's business banquet comes to anend."

"What do you mean it's over? What do you mean by representing the Alonso family? Who are youto represent my family?! On what grounds are you revoking my position and powers?! You're notqualified! Chloe, my family isn't yours to control. The Alonso family is mine. How can you takewhat's mine and speak for me?!

Shameless."

Wendy's shriek echoed in the air as she clawed at the edge of the balcony, straining to reach Chloe.Her coarse words and frantic demeanor were a far cry from the refined lady of the Alonso family sheonce was.

Damon's brow twitched with each vulgar utterance, his patience finally worn thin. “Nate!"

Nate, who had been standing in the corner, suddenly snapped to attention and quickly strode over.“Sir!"

Damon said nothing, just leveled Nate with an icy stare that sent a shiver down his spine. With agesture from Nate, two burly men in black suits emerged from the shadows, grabbing the hystericalWendy by each arm.

“What are you doing?!" Wendy shrieked, “Let me go! How dare you treat me like this? I am theheiress of the Alonso family, the future head of the family..."

A sharp slap cut off her rant, the sound echoing in the room. Wendy's hysteria suddenly ceased.Her cheek stung with a fiery pain, and she turned her bruised face to glare menacingly at the peoplein front of her.

"You damn wretch! I'm your sister! Instead of helping me, you hit me? You ungrateful snake!"

Phoebe trembled with rage, "What right do you have to claim to be my sister, Wendy? How can youclaim that others have stolen from you? The Alonso family, it was never yours to begin with.

“It was you, you are the real plunderers, the usurpers. Don't forget how your mother earned her title,and don't forget how you became the heiress of the Alonso family. For material possessions, youand your mother stooped to abhorrent lows, committing heinous acts. You all deserve this because,in reality, you were all trash from the start."

"You're talking nonsense." Wendy spat, "You gave away your shares and handed over the company.Phoebe, you're a fool. You're mad"
