The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1572

What was the saying? Penny wise and pound foolish, that was him. After living for decades and with one foot already in the grave, he had made such an unseemly scene.

"You think you're something, don't you? You look pretty impressive now, but you think the Harpers, after all they've done wrong, would just roll over and accept you into their family because you're some kind of princess? Who's responsible for turning everything into this mess? It was me. It was me who made this happen, you wouldn't be marrying into the Harper family if it wasn't for me."

Listening to Wendy's unabashed confession and her foul words, Chloe simply responded with a faint smile. She listened to Wendy's tirade, then nodded her head with a smile.

"Yes, Wendy, you're quite formidable, ruining my perfect marriage arrangement? You're right, it was all because of you that I had no choice but to take the Alonso family as my wedding gifts."

She spoke lightly and calmly, with a sweet and gentle smile, but in just a few words, she delivered a heavy blow to Wendy. This impact also extended to Cole and Grace, who were standing nearby with faces ashen. Chloe's words were like a lightning bolt striking into their minds. If Wendy had not been so stubborn and obsessed with Damon, Presley wouldn't have opposed Damon and Chloe's marriage.

If they'd been able to marry on schedule, the Alonso family wouldn't even be in this situation now.d2

So what did Wendy have to gloat about? It was her obsession with the Harpers that had driven Chloe to vow to take control of the Alonso family.

Wendy's face twitched at Chloe's words, she stiffened for a moment before her features contorted into an unsightly expression.

Again and again.

No matter what she said or did, she could never gain an upper hand over Chloe. Everything she did only served to help Chloe rise higher. Every word she said was thrown back at her by Chloe, inflicting a thousand times more pain. She bit her lip so hard that the corner of her mouth was bleeding a bright, eye-catching red.

Admitting defeat to Chloe? Impossible. How could she accept it?

After fighting against Chloe for so long, from initially having the upper hand to ending up with nothing, how could she accept it?

Some may pity the villain in the end, but to Chloe, Wendy wasn't worth an ounce of sympathy.

This wasn't some chicken-and-egg paradox. Wendy started all of this, she was the one who crossed Chloe's line time and time again. Even though she was now in a state of madness, disability, hysteria, and utter disarray, Chloe still stared at her with a coldness that seemed devoid of any emotion. "I'm now exercising my rights as the majority shareholder of Alonso Corporation to revoke all positions and powers of Cole and Wendy in the corporation. Also, Wendy is not allowed to set foot in Alonso Corporation without permission."

At these words, Cole immediately retorted, "On what grounds are you revoking my position and rights, I..."

"Mr. Alonso, since you don't own any shares, why should I grant you any position or rights?"

Cole was stunned into silence, his face filled with despair. "Chloe, you can't...you can't...the Alonso family is everything to me."

Chloe gave a cold laugh, "Exactly because it's everything to you, that's why I need to take it back. Mr. Alonso, you should take some time to think about your wife who died of 'difficult birth', and your own daughter who you've ignored since she lost her mother, and whom you've tried to use and even sell.”
