The news caused a collective gasp among the crowd, who had no idea what was going on behind the scenes.
"How did she suddenly become the major shareholder of the Alonso family's enterprise? I can't believe it."
"How is Wendy going to deal with this?"
"No wonder I found it strange that Ms. Summers showed up tonight, even though she knew Wendy was going to give her a hard time. Turns out that she was here to deliver a crushing blow to Wendy."
"She's now the major shareholder of the Alonso family's enterprise, my god, this news is explosive. Ms. Summers, she really did it."
“Yeah, she really did it. When the Alonso family suddenly received a thirty billion dollar investment, I thought they were unbeatable. Turns out that our ‘Mr. Three-Billion’ was actually supporting Ms. Summers.”d2
"Ha, your ‘Mr. Three-Billion’ nickname is spot-on. Just now at the dinner, this gentleman spent another three billion to buy Mr. Alonso's second daughter from him."
"What? Ms. Phoebe got sold?"
"It's common for parents to favor one child, and once it starts, there's no end to it. Initially, they wanted to use the younger daughter's marriage as leverage to get thirty percent of the shares from ‘Mr. Three-Billion’ as a dowry, to secure the Alonso heiress’s position in the company. But upon finding out that ‘Mr. Three-Billion’ gave the shares to Chloe, they had to settle for the thirty billion dollar investment in their project."
"My gosh, what a shame, I can't believe all this happened inside the hotel."
"It's much worse than that. You didn't see how smug Wendy was at the beginning of the dinner. Her rivalry with Ms. Summers was obvious. She was so brash and provocative, but once she learned that Ms. Summers was now the major shareholder of the Alonso Corporation, she lost it. She went berserk, ranting and raving like a madwoman. She's probably still causing a scene."
"Oh man, I wish I could've seen that, Wendy must be desperate. I'd love to see her now, it must be quite a sight."
"She was acting like a lunatic. It was frightening. Can you imagine a disabled person rolling around on the floor, cursing and swearing in the center of the room?"
"She got what she deserved. She shouldn't have messed with Ms. Summers. Ms. Summers was personally invited by her tonight, and her plan to show off completely backfired."
"The more investment she got tonight, the greater the benefits Ms. Summers received. She proudly invited her over to show off, not realizing she'd end up working for her. Wendy has been a joke in front of Ms. Summers, time and time again. Every time she confidently challenged her, she ended up being humiliated. It's hilarious when you think about it."
"You can't mess with Ms. Summers. She's terrifying, whoever crosses her is in for trouble. I wonder what will happen now that she's up against the Harper family?"
"Who knows?"
Some people were still staring at the hotel entrance, hoping to catch a glimpse of the Alonso family members' current state, but they were nowhere to be seen.
"Alright, let's call it a night. The Alonso family isn't going to show their faces now. If you have any questions, just wait for the news tomorrow."
