She always presented herself as beautiful and radiant, with exquisite makeup, luxurious and elegant clothing, and jewelry. Every gesture, and even every expression, seemed meticulously crafted by her in advance.
Her conduct and demeanor, while seen as a bit exaggerated by others, was accepted because everyone knew, this was Miss Alonso. The heiress of the Alonso family was expected to be this way.
In the past, she was quite successful at playing the role of Miss Alonso. Why did Phoebe not strive for more in those years? Because Wendy was outstanding, and everyone believed that she was the true heiress of the Alonso family.
So Phoebe willingly allowed her father to plan to hand over the entire Alonso family and its businesses to Wendy.
But now, as she looked at the woman before her, who appeared to be a hysterical and repulsive lunatic, Phoebe found it utterly baffling. "Wendy, you must be really sick." Phoebe shook her head and said with utmost sincerity.
However, Wendy ignored Phoebe's words, sitting there with a cold and gloomy gaze fixed on Phoebe, slowly saying, "I'll say it once more, give me your shares. Did you hear me clearly?"d2
The way she looked, it seemed like if Phoebe said "no" at this moment, Wendy would tear her apart in the next.
Phoebe was inevitably frightened by Wendy's demeanor, and for a moment she was speechless, just staring at her blankly. "You..."
"Ms. Wendy." Just as Phoebe was about to speak, Chloe, who had been standing quietly on the stage, suddenly spoke.
Everyone in the room was startled, and they turned their eyes to Chloe.
Chloe was cool and calm, her gaze fixed on Wendy as she slowly said, "Since I intend to take you down, naturally I won't give you any chance to act recklessly in front of me. You don't need to covet Phoebe's shares because they are already in my hands."
Chloe's words once again shocked everyone.
Wendy's face twitched violently, her fierce and gloomy eyes moved from Phoebe to Chloe. Chloe lowered her eyes, unafraid to meet her gaze.
After a long while, Wendy spoke in a hoarse voice, "You're lying."
Chloe let out a cold laugh, "Why would I lie?"
"Has she gone mad or stupid? Why would she give away her shares for nothing? You already have more than half of the Alonso family shares, so why would you need hers? It's unreasonable. And in terms of your relationship, you get along with her, right? You even got your hands on her shares. I have to ask, Chloe, what kind of deplorable monster are you?"
