The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1674

Chloe remained silent.

Damon was the ruler of that place, where riots did occur. The existence of such chaos was entirely at his discretion.

Cole and Grace had perished in a border riot. Clearly, it was all part of a sinister plot.

She had thought that by eliminating Wendy, her life would finally attain some semblance of peace. To harbor the intent to kill, and then to act upon it, required a certain ruthlessness. However, she suddenly felt that she was nothing compared to Damon. He had never mentioned it, not even the slightest hint. And just like that, two lives were extinguished.

She hadn't brought back Wendy's body back, and now she understood why. Damon had intended to wipe out the entire Alonso family from the start.

Presley instructed Robin to help Phoebe prepare a funeral for the Alonso family. Hardly anyone attended the funeral, and the bodies had not been recovered.

Azriel had greeted Damon and requested the bodies as a form of closure for Phoebe.

With the deceased gone, everything seemed to fade like dissipating clouds, Chloe gave her consent, and Damon did not object.

When Azriel handed over the urns to Phoebe, Phoebe accepted them with a calm demeanor, but her eyes were still tinged with an unshed red.

Despite their cruelty, they were still her family, and had caused her pain, injustice, and unrest. They had always revolved around Wendy, and in the end, even in death, it was because of her.

Azriel gently tousled her hair, biting his lip, at a loss for words. Some things, he would have to keep buried within him. He would never reveal the truth to her in this lifetime.

Phoebe placed the urns in their final resting place, and the few attendees of the funeral couldn't help but shake their heads in sorrow. At least the ashes had been retrieved.

They offered Phoebe words of solace and gradually dispersed.

Ava had asked Barbara to attend the funeral. After all, their kinship was common knowledge.

Barbara and Phoebe were not on good terms, and she thought they wouldn’t exchange more than a few words throughout the entire process. However, Barbara remained by her side until the very end.

As people came and went, Phoebe stood at the entrance. Her gaze was steady.

"Did anyone from the Harper family come?" Barbara suddenly asked, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "I'm referring to Damon and that woman, Chloe."

"They have no reason to come. Everything Wendy did was disgusting, enough to make anyone sick. Why should they mourn for her?"

Phoebe's words elicited a cold laugh from Barbara. "Do they have no reason to come, or do they not dare to?"

"What do you mean?"

Barbara was clad in a khaki winter coat. Her makeup was subtly applied, and her red lips curved into a cynical smile.

"Chloe killed Wendy. Cole and Grace were said to have died in a riot, but even if that place was chaotic, it couldn't be in a state of constant upheaval. How unlucky would they have to be to encounter a riot the moment they arrived? Everything was a setup. Their real intention was to eradicate the Alonso family completely. Phoebe, I understand if you feel nothing for Grace and Wendy, but wouldn't you resent the person who murdered your father?"
