The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1552

"We've always had faith in Ms. Summers' abilities," one of them said, shifting uncomfortably. "If there's a chance for collaboration, we would certainly prefer to work with Ms. Summers."

Chloe simply nodded. "Don't worry. It's rare to find a project this promising. There's enough profit to go around."

The crowd around her grew, their curiosity piqued by Chloe's surprising candor. "So, Ms. Summers," someone ventured, "are you suggesting you might invest in the Alonso family's project?"

"Your confidence is strangely reassuring, Ms. Summers."

"If it's a collaboration with Ms. Summers, then it's undoubtedly the best option."

Chloe only smiled in response.d2

"Business is business, and personal matters should be brought into it." someone reasoned. "If the Alonso family's heiress invited you here, they wouldn't reject your investment, right?"

They were all uncertain whether Chloe would invest or not. But if she could put aside her personal grudges to invest in the Alonso family's project, the project must truly be something extraordinary.

"Make up your own minds," Chloe advised. "The business world is unpredictable. No one knows what unexpected turns a sure-win project might take. But I trust your judgment. If you think it's worth investing in, then make your move and have no regrets. As for whether I will get involved with the Alonso family's project... they are not the type to just sit back and watch without putting up a fight, right?"

Chloe's gaze shifted to the distance. Following her line of sight, the crowd saw Wendy wheeling towards them. Her expression was far from pleasant. Well, what did they say about enemies meeting with an extra hint of hostility in their eyes? That was it.

As she drew nearer, Wendy managed to plaster on a smile. "What are you all talking about? You guys looks so happy."

Chloe merely smirked but said nothing. Wendy's gaze lingered on Chloe for a few seconds before she scoffed.

"Ladies and gentlemen," she began, "the Alonso family wouldn't have hosted this business dinner if we weren't confident in our project. I trust your judgment, and I'm sure you won't be swayed by the malicious whispers of certain individuals."

The crowd exchanged uncomfortable glances.

"You're mistaken, Ms. Wendy," one of them said. "Ms. Summers values this project."

"Yes, she even convinced us it's safe to invest. Ms. Wendy, don't jump to conclusions."

"Business affairs are totally different from personal ones. We have to admire Ms. Summers for distinguishing that so clearly."
