"So, Ms. Chloe' fiancé is really the CEO of the Harper Group?"
"And what about the daughter of the Alonso family?"
At this question, all eyes were drawn to Wendy, who was standing nearby with a terrible look on her face. She took two frightened steps back, tripped over her own feet, and only avoided falling on this high-profile stage by grabbing the microphone stand.
"Grandpa..." She thought of Presley in the chaos.
"Calling him won't help!"
A voice full of authority suddenly rang out! It was then that everyone noticed Hannah pushing Alyssa slowly onto the stage. Alyssa's face was cold and stern, without a trace of weakness.
Wendy was in a panic, but she instinctively called out, "Grandma..."
"Shut up!" Alyssa looked at her coldly. "I don't have a granddaughter like you! And I can't accept you calling me that!"
"The Alonso family is also a family with hundreds of years of history! You have been in the Alonso family for so many years, even being trained as a lady of the house! Yet, after twenty years, they have raised such a shameless descendant!"
Wendy's body swayed, almost dizzy from Alyssa's cold and ruthless words, and she nearly passed out.
Presley furrowed his brows and looked down at the person who had walked up to him. "What the hell are you doing?!"
"You shut up too!" Alyssa didn't even glance at Presley, her voice deep and emotionless.
"What do you know?!" Presley said sternly, obviously resolutely.
"I know you're an old fool who's blind and heartless!" Alyssa didn't want to argue with this old man in this situation, but she had been holding back her anger all night. She had been controlling herself, enduring it, but in the end, she couldn't help it! She said coldly, and at the same time, she reached out to grab the microphone stand and hit Presley with it.
"Madam!" Hannah quickly stopped her, "Tonight is Damon and Miss Chloe's engagement party!"
Alyssa's movement stopped, and she held the microphone stand tightly, putting it back in place.
The stage was filled with low rumblings. This old lady was tough, she actually called Presley an old fool.
Seeing the situation going downhill, Grace quickly walked onto the stage. She pulled Wendy aside and began to vent her anger at Alyssa. "Alyssa, what do you mean by this? What do you mean by 'shameless'? Wendy and Damon's engagement was set by Presley, how can Wendy be the shameless one? Even if our two families have a relationship, you can't be too harsh in your words, can you?!"
