The news caused a collective gasp among the crowd, who had no idea what was going on behindthe scenes.

"How did she suddenly become the major shareholder of the Alonso family's enterprise? I can'tbelieve it.

“How is Wendy going to deal with this?"

“No wonder I found it strange that Ms. Summers showed up tonight, even though she knew Wendywas going to give her a hard time. Turns out that she was here to deliver a crushing blow toWendy."b2 "She's now the major shareholder of the Alonso family's enterprise, my god, this news isexplosive. Ms.

Summers, she really did it."

“Yeah, she really did it. When the Alonso family suddenly received a thirty billion dollar investment, Ithought they were unbeatable. Turns out that our ‘Mr. Three-Billion’ was actually supporting Ms.Summers."

"Ha, your ‘Mr. Three-Billion’ nickname is spot-on. Just now at the dinner, this gentleman spentanother three billion to buy Mr. Alonso's second daughter from him."

“What? Ms. Phoebe got sold?"

"It's common for parents to favor one child, and once it starts, there's no end to it. Initially, theywanted to use the younger daughter's marriage as leverage to get thirty percent of the shares from‘Mr. Three-Billion’ as a dowry, to secure the Alonso heiress's position in the company. But upon

replaceing out that ‘Mr. Three-Billion’ gave the shares to Chloe, they had to settle for the thirty billiondollar investment in their project."

“My gosh, what a shame, I can't believe all this happened inside the hotel."

"It's much worse than that. You didn't see how smug Wendy was at the beginning of the dinner. Herrivalry with Ms. Summers was obvious. She was so brash and provocative, but once she learnedthat Ms. Summers was now the major shareholder of the Alonso Corporation, she lost it. She wentberserk, ranting and raving like a madwoman. She's probably still causing a scene."

"Oh man, I wish I could've seen that, Wendy must be desperate. I'd love to see her now, it must bequite a sight."

"She was acting like a lunatic. It was frightening. Can you imagine a disabled person rolling aroundon the floor, cursing and swearing in the center of the room?"

"She got what she deserved. She shouldn't have messed with Ms. Summers. Ms. Summers waspersonally invited by her tonight, and her plan to show off completely backfired."

"The more investment she got tonight, the greater the benefits Ms. Summers received. She proudlyinvited her over to show off, not realizing she'd end up working for her. Wendy has been a joke infront of Ms. Summers, time and time again. Every time she confidently challenged her, she endedup being humiliated. It's hilarious when you think about it."

“You can't mess with Ms. Summers. She's terrifying, whoever crosses her is in for trouble. I wonderwhat will happen now that she's up against the Harper family?"

"Who knows?"

Some people were still staring at the hotel entrance, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Alonso familymembers"

current state, but they were nowhere to be seen.

“Alright, let's call it a night. The Alonso family isn't going to show their faces now. If you have anyquestions, just wait for the news tomorrow."

Everyone gradually dispersed.

Wendy had invited many media outlets to the party tonight, hoping to show off the Alonso family'snewfound success and unstoppable momentum. With so much drama tonight, tomorrow's newswould certainly be interesting.

Unfortunately, they didn't get to see Wendy's current state, which was a bit disappointing. But thenight's drama had to end at some point. The party was over, the main characters had left, and therewas no point in lingering.

Chloe had played along with Wendy's game all night, until she finally delivered a crushing blow thatcompletely defeated Wendy.

Wendy's current state was almost too pitiful to look at, which made Chloe seem ruthless and cold-hearted.

Tomorrow, people would undoubtedly criticize her. They'd forget that Wendy always provoked her,and that every outcome was a result of her own actions.

Chloe could imagine the accusations she'd face tomorrow, but she didn't care. She finally got rid ofWendy, the woman who had been harassing her for months, making it feel like years. Chloe felt asense of relief.

But then, she ran into Presley at the hotel entrance, and her good mood vanished. She knew theold man cared deeply about the Harper family, but his stubbornness and intensity chilled her to thebone.

She thought the departure of her father-in-law and mother-in-law would make him see reason.Turned out that he was as stubborn as ever.

She sat alone on one side of the car, a thick layer of frost covering her delicate eyebrows. Her lipswere tightly pursed, and she looked out the window at the colorful neon lights passing by, her moodsomber. Damon held her hand all the way, and now he held it even tighter.

"You've had enough time to be angry, Mrs. Harper. It's time to focus on me again.

Chloe turned to look at him, "I shouldn't have brought you here tonight."

Damon furrowed his brows.

Chloe lowered her eyes, lifting the hand Damon held and gently caressed it against her lips. Shelooked at him with remorse, ‘Although they don't say it, I can feel it. Their attitude towards you...they... apparently don't feel the same way as before."

Chloe deliberately phrased it differently, yet still felt at a loss for words.

Chloe couldn't bring herself to say those words. He, who used to be the center of attention whereverhe went, was treated coldly tonight. Worse still, he was publicly ridiculed by her grandfather.

She thought she could withstand the judgmental gazes of others, and she knew she shouldn't live inthe eyes of others. Nor did she truly want Damon to always be the center of attention. But she justcouldn't stand seeing him treated with disdain, just because he was no longer the CEO of HarperGroup. The stark contrast in treatment made her feel a rollercoaster of emotions.

Her grandfather said that she was the one who ruined him. She used to deny this, but now, shesomewhat agreed.

Damon looked at Chloe's remorseful eyes, his hand reaching to cradle the back of her head. Hegently caressed her lips for a while before resting his hand against her forehead.

“You're overthinking it. I don't care about any of this."
