Watching the two lovebirds parade their affection without a care in the world makes Wendy’s blood boil.
Why?
Who didn't know why she had been locking horns with Chloe till now? Who didn't know that the reason she was bound to a wheelchair was all thanks to them?
She had fought and struggled for so long, only to end up in this pitiful state, while they shamelessly displayed their love in front of her, at her own event? It was a cruel joke.
Their actions were tantamount to slapping her in the face. How cruel, Damon, you were really too cruel.
The people around observed Wendy's expression. At first, they showed a bit of sympathy, but eventually, they became indifferent.d2
After all, the couple was clearly in love. It was Wendy who was stubbornly trying to wedge herself in between them. If she hadn't been so obsessed, she wouldn't have ended up in this situation. In the end, she had only herself to blame.
Wendy didn't expect everyone to sympathize with her. But just watching the two of them was extremely irritating. She gritted her teeth so hard that her entire head was visibly shaking. She simply couldn't forgive them.
Seeing Wendy on the verge of losing control, Cole came over and said, "Has your sister arrived yet? I haven't seen her."
Wendy blinked fiercely, and her anger suddenly cooled down. "Phoebe? No, she said she would come, so she definitely will. Let's wait a bit longer."
Right, Phoebe. Tonight was not only about the Alonso family raising funds, but also about giving Phoebe a chance to shine.
Most of the people present were either rich or powerful. If Phoebe could catch someone's eye or be noticed by someone, it would undoubtedly be beneficial for the Alonso family. The Bowles family way didn't work out, so they weren't in a hurry to pressure her. They just needed to provide her with the absolutely advantageous environment.
Marrying her into a good family would be beneficial to the company in the future. Once she got married, they would have a reason to reclaim most of the shares of the Alonso family that she held. After all, once Phoebe's shares were in hand, Wendy's position in the Alonso family would be unshakeable.
So tonight, Phoebe was also one of the main characters.
"The public investment segment is about to start, and she still hasn't arrived. What's the point if she arrives too late? Call her and ask why she's not here yet."
Cole said with a serious face. What he said was true, but his main intention was to prevent Wendy from causing a scene because of Chloe. Otherwise, the business banquet tonight would be doomed.
"Okay, I'll call her now."
Wendy nodded and was about to turn around and leave when she saw Phoebe walking in from the entrance.
