The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1402

Yasmine watched Chloe quietly, her face expressionless, clearly waiting for her input. Chloe glanced at the stock market graph in front of her, her face equally unreadable.

"Keep waiting," she said.

Axel raised an eyebrow, his gaze lingering on Chloe.

Even though they'd met before, it was mostly through online news and their occasional phone calls when he was abroad. Today was their first formal meeting, and at first, he thought she was just an over-hyped regular Joe.

But when he actually met her, he realized he might have underestimated her. This woman's aura was far beyond that.

The Alonso family's stocks were a hot topic for almost everyone. They had been falling for the past few days with no signs of a rebound, and in the last two days, some people started making sneaky moves.

They weren't bullish on the Alonso family's stocks; they were betting on Chloe. This was Chloe's wedding gift. If the Alonso Corporation fell into her hands, she'd definitely make a move. If the Alonso Corporation ended up with Chloe, it would definitely thrive.

But...

"My sources say the Alonso family hasn’t given up their plan. They're just looking for a new partner, probably from Y Country. If things go on like this, you might end up with nothing."

Chloe just shrugged and casually said, "The royal family of Y Country is, after all, a royal family. Even though they can engage in business, they wouldn't be too flashy. They can partner with Princess Ava, but she can't be too conspicuous, so this business might end up with..."

She paused, a small smile tugging at her lips. "Viscount Rhys... and right now, he's having the time of his life in Las Vegas, so he probably won't have time to deal with this."

Witnessing the coolness on her natural face, Axel's eyes sparkled. He was head over heels for this woman. She had thought of all angles, even knowing where Rhys was and what he was up to.

That calmness could only come from absolute confidence. And this confidence was, of course, self-bestowed.

The Alonso Corporation's stocks had been in free fall for days, and the Alonso family had shown no reaction, just letting things be. It was clear they were looking for a solution and seemed to have found one, hence their boldness in letting the stocks fall. Their calmness clearly came from absolute confidence in their ability to turn the tide.

Stock investors were jittery, constantly checking the news, afraid of the Alonso family making a move.

Everyone was on edge these days; neither the Alonso family nor Chloe would miss the perfect opportunity to buy stocks.

The reason they hadn't bought in advance was that Alonso Corporation's stocks were in a slump, everyone wanted to buy the most valuable thing at the lowest price, and then earn a huge profit. This would make them very satisfied.

During such tense times, Chloe still had time to find Rhys. She was truly admirable.

Even he, as the highly paid CEO of Peck Innovations with years of experience in the business world, had only thought of planting his own people in the Alonso family and kept an eye on the stock market daily.

He once thought her too careless. She disappeared for days after the negotiations were over. Now he realized, that her disappearing for a few days was more meaningful than their sleepless nights at the company.

The other executives in the company were surprised when they saw Axel's admiring look at Chloe. They had never seen their CEO look at a woman like that.

Chloe might have noticed Axel's gaze, so she turned to look at him. "Do you have a question?"

Axel moved his chair closer to Chloe, his hands gripping the armrests. "Nope."

Everyone fell silent. If there was no question, then why did Axel move closer to her?
