The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1479

"I knew something was fishy when my sister insisted on drinking with me. Turned out, that drink must've been spiked!"

Cole frowned. asking, "What are you babbling about?"

Phoebe didn't even glance at him and continued, "The drink the waiter gave me, I accidentally poured half into my sister's glass and spilled the rest on my dress. I didn't drink a drop..."

Grace's eyes bulged in surprise. "What... What drink? I don't get what you're saying!"

Phoebe nodded. "Ah, I see. Guess I'm overthinking it. So, my sister is genuinely head over heels for Mr. Bowles, huh?"

Regret filled Grace's heart. She never imagined her prideful daughter, who always looked down on others, would end up in such a state.

She had suffered enough in the past. Wendy was her pride and joy. How could she end up like this?

Willingly...

If she denied being willing, it would be admitting her drink was drugged!

If this news got out, it would definitely bring a huge scandal to the Alonso family...

So, they had to accept this outcome?

But no matter how much she tried to run from it, everyone knew the truth.

Cole swayed, feeling dizzy.

Wendy often embarrassed him, but over the years, he had focused most of his attention on her. Even after all this, Wendy was still his favorite daughter.

The future head of the Alonso family, and now...

With a heavy sigh, he turned to Heather and said, "Since it's already happened, we should discuss the kids' marriage..."

Heather's gaze lingered on Wendy for a moment, then she scoffed, "No need. If it's not Phoebe, there's no point in discussing a marriage."

Cole was taken aback by Heather's response, and his face darkened.

"What do you mean by that, Heather?"

Heather responded with a grin. "Marrying your precious daughter off to a 'beast' would be such a disgrace, wouldn't it?"

Cole looked embarrassed, saying, "Heather, she was just impulsive..."

Heather nodded. "Impulsiveness, I can understand. But the marriage is off the table.

My only grandson will inherit the Bowles family's company. He'll need his wife's support.

I don't think highly of Wendy's business acumen, let alone marrying a notorious, cunning woman!"

Her words, blunt and direct, made Cole furious!

"You..."

"Mr. Alonso, let me remind you, what you treasure might be trash in others' eyes!"

"I'm sorry, but we can't fit into your Alonso family. Our relationship ends here. Please leave."

The rejection was clear and direct.

Grace was so angry her head was spinning.

"Heather, what gives the Bowles family the right to provoke the Alonso family? Do you know if the Alonso Corporation retaliates, the Bowles family could go bankrupt overnight?"

Heather scoffed, "Still a better fate than marrying Wendy.”

"Wow, rather have the Bowles family go broke than marry Wendy. Wendy's worthless!"

"Ha! Would you marry her?"

"Am I insane?"
