Azriel lifted his eyes, his hand still lightly touching the back of his hand that had been bitten by someone, and he said generously, "It's just a loss of thirty billion. It's too early to talk about disappointment."
Suddenly, Phoebe in front of him turned around, looking up with a pair of red eyes, glaring at Azriel. "Are you the one who invested thirty billion in the Alonso family?!"
Azriel hooked the corner of his mouth and spoke casually, "Why? Can't do that?"
Phoebe's refined eyes instantly kindled two clusters of flames. "I heard you were not interested in the Alonso family just now?"
"Yep."
"Why did you suddenly want to give it thirty billion? Are you crazy?"d2
Phoebe, with her petite figure, stood in front of Azriel, who towered over her. She seemed like a small sparrow squawking defiantly in front of a hawk. Her angry demeanor was not terrifying at all.
"Phoebe, get out!" Cole was about to be driven mad by his daughter. At this critical moment, she was creating a scene without any sense of propriety. Azriel had kindly invested in the Alonso family, and yet, as a member of the Alonso family, he got scolded by her. Wasn't that ingratitude?
And what about her tone? Somebody offered three hundred billion in funding to them, and she had this 'mind your own business' attitude. It nearly drove Cole mad.
Phoebe, of course, would not listen to Cole and leave. The thought of making the Alonso family come back to life made her angry. Knowing that the person who helped the Alonso family was the man in front of her, she was even more furious. With nowhere to vent her anger, Phoebe looked at the man in front of her with his gentle eyebrows and cheerful smile. She lifted her foot and kicked him hard on the leg twice. "Mind your own business!"
Cole almost fainted from her actions. Yet, Phoebe felt completely relieved. The more Cole respected this man, the more she wanted to offend him. Anyway, she was still the second daughter of the Alonso family. If she offended him, it would make Cole furious, maybe even ruin the partnership, and watching the shock on the faces of the Alonso family members would be the best outcome for her.
"Why didn't I just poison you with pasta?!"
Everyone didn't know what comment was, but the word poison was clearly not something positive.
The face of Mr. Azriel, who had always been courteous, darkened because of her words.
Wendy saw this and knew she couldn't let Phoebe continue to act recklessly. She stepped forward and held Phoebe. "Phoebe, I beg you, can you stop making a scene now? Look at yourself, do you know what you look like?"
As she spoke, she stepped forward and blocked Phoebe with her wheelchair. "The fundraising is about to begin. If you don't settle down, don't blame me for not caring about sisterhood."
