The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1362

Robin chuckled, replying to Presley who nodded in agreement.

With the backing of the Alonso family, there was no way any of them would stoop so low to do something that crossed ethical lines.

The sound of a car engine echoed from outside, followed by Addie's excited announcement, "Ms. Alonso is here."

Presley furrowed his brow, and as he looked up, he saw Wendy walking in carrying two paper bags. Her steps were graceful, and her delicately made-up face bore a relaxed and natural smile.

Robin's lips curved upward. Her persistence was, after all, commendable. He had thought that Ms. Wendy was a scaredy-cat, hiding away from people like the rumors outside suggested.

"Grandpa Presley, I've brought you your favorite Ceylon tea. It was shipped here from overseas a couple of days ago, tastes really good. You can try it first." Wendy acted as if nothing had happened, presenting herself gracefully.

"Thanks." Presley replied casually. Watching Wendy, he couldn't comprehend why she had done something so foolish and outrageous before.

Presley's indifference made Wendy a bit awkward, but Robin intervened, "Have a seat."

Wendy sat down on the sofa with a smile, "Thank you."

Robin didn't beat around the bush, asking directly, "How have you been these days? You're all over the news, so you must be under a lot of pressure, huh?"

"Can't help it. What's done is done..." Wendy's smile faded a bit.

Robin glanced at the indifferent Presley beside him.

"You're really tough, being a girl and all, dealing with such pressure. If your dad Cole were here, he'd definitely protect you from this... By the way, didn't Cole go to M Country for some business recently? Is he back yet, or will it take some more time?"

Presley, who had remained expressionless, finally reacted.

"Should be any day now. I heard dad was supposed to have been back two days ago, but something must have held him up."

Robin nodded, "Well... a few more days won't hurt. Once Cole's business deal is successful, the Alonso family will remain prosperous."

"Thank you, Mr. Robin," Wendy replied expressionlessly, but felt a surge of joy inside. She hadn't heard the specifics from Cole, only that it was important to the family from Grace. But if even Robin was describing it as prospering, it showed just how important this deal was.

No wonder Grace said Grandpa Presley would go all out to have her marry Damon. Even the Harper family couldn't guarantee "eternal prosperity," and if the Harper and Alonso families were to unite, wouldn't the Harper family also be secured?

At this point, Grandpa Presley finally reacted, he glanced at Wendy, "You really don't plan on running Infinity Media?"

With a bitter smile, Wendy replied, "Grandpa Presley, I'm really not good with business. I feel guilty whenever I think about my dad handing over the Alonso family to me. I fear I might not live up to expectations." Her words were filled with uncertainty and confusion about the future. She lowered her head, looking rather helpless.

"But haven't you been studying business for years?" Grandpa Presley asked.
