The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1566

The reporters' near-riotous behavior visibly darkened Cole Alonso's mood, making him eager to wrap up the evening's event.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you once again. Tonight's fundraising has been a great success and now..."

"Mr. Alonso!" A reporter, not content to let things lie, interrupted Cole once again.

"Mr. Azriel, as the Alonso family's biggest shareholder, we hardly know him in the P City business circles. Shouldn't we take this opportunity to introduce him?"

This suggestion resonated with the crowd. After all, nobody recalled seeing this young man in the P City business circles before.

Everyone present agreed with the proposal, and even Cole found it reasonable. In fact, he felt it was high time to introduce this man. After all, even he didn't know who this man was that had suddenly come to the Alonso family's aid.d2

After a moment's thought, he nodded and turned to Azriel.

"Mr. Azriel, since everyone is asking, why don't you take this opportunity to introduce yourself? As the Alonso family's biggest shareholder..."

Azriel, shaking his head nonchalantly, replied, "I don't have much to introduce. You can all just consider me the nouveau riche."

Cole paused, glancing at Wendy who stood not far from Azriel.

Wendy, quickly catching on, smiled at Azriel. "Tonight's fundraising for the Alonso family was a huge success, Mr. Azriel. As the Alonso family's biggest shareholder, why don’t you come up and say a few words?"

Azriel gave a faint smile, pondered for a moment, and then rose from his seat.

Phoebe had a lollipop in her mouth, and her gaze dimmed slightly. Azriel seemed to notice her change in mood, and gently ruffled her hair. She looked up at him, but he had already withdrawn his hand and was buttoning up his suit. He then strode onto the stage.

Cole, grinning, handed him the microphone. With the crystal chandelier casting a soft glow over his tall and handsome figure, Azriel stood on the stage, his stunning features and elegant demeanor captivating everyone present.

Phoebe, sitting below, stared at him in a daze, her thoughts unreadable.

Azriel began to speak in a calm voice. "I have money, and a lot of it. The Alonso family needs money, and I'm interested in their shares, so that's why I decided to invest.

"As for the fact that I'm the Alonso family's largest shareholder, before we discuss that, I think I should first address the issue of my engagement to Ms. Phoebe.
