The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1440

Chapter 1440 

Cole glanced at Wendy, then sighed, considering her condition. “As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters. The banquet’s about to start. You and your sister Phoebe should get ready.” 

Cole then glanced at the silent Phoebe, and his gaze unconsciously grew cold. “You’ll be going with Wendy! You better behave yourself there. You know what kind of party it is. The Alonso family has been taking care of you for years, and now’s the time to show some gratitude. If you can’t find a suitable man at this party, I will…” 

“You’ll marry me off to that fool from P City, right?” 

Cole paused, surprised at Phoebe’s harsh words. He’d never thought the usually quiet and obedient Phoebe would talk to him like this. “What kind of nonsense are you talking about?!” 

Phoebe smirked coldly, making the atmosphere a bit awkward. Wendy jumped in “Phoebe, how could you talk to our father like that, don’t you know how hard he’s been working?” 

“Yeah, Dad’s been working hard, but who put him in this situation?” 

Phoebe’s words left Wendy speechless. “Phoebe, it seems you have a big misunderstanding of me…” 

“A misunderstanding?” Phoebe scoffed. 

“Enough! What are you two squabbling about?!” Cole, sensing that Phoebe might have had more to say, cut their conversation short. “The banquet is about to start, aren’t you going to get ready? I’m warning you, don’t cause any more trouble, or I’ll teach you a lesson!” 

He left after saying that; leaving Wendy and Phoebe in silence. 

“Phoebe, it seems you’re not taking me seriously anymore… 

Phoebe suddenly grabbed the wheelchair and spun Wendy around. Wendy almost fell off the wheelchair. “Phoebe you…” 

“Do you think you’re worth anyone’s attention right now?” Phoebe pushed the wheelchair towards the banquet hall after saying that. 

“Phoebe, are you trying to get yourself killed?” 

“Heh,” Phoebe scoffed. “Isn’t it more cruel and painful to live than to die?” 

Her voice was calm, and her eyes were devoid of emotion, but that made her even more terrifying. 

Wendy, sitting in the wheelchair, couldn’t see Phoebe’s expression, and just scoffed in response, “Right, you’re absolutely correct. Wait and see, I’m really curious to see if Chloe, that bitch, is living a life worse than death.” 

“You never learn, do you?” Phoebe retorted. 

“Phoebe, I’m in a good mood right now, so I won’t argue with you. You better behave tonight, or you might end up marrying that fool from P City.” 

“I’ll be looking forward to it.” 

After that, the two stopped talking. 

Phoebe, in a white dress that reached her ankles, with her natural hair simply tied in a side braid, looked fresh and graceful. Her beauty was eye–catching, but not out of place in that setting. 

When Phoebe pushed Wendy into the banquet hall, the whole place fell silent. 

Today’s venue was next to yesterday’s state banquet hall, equally luxurious. Everyone was dressed to the nines. The dazzling chandeliers were casting a golden glow over the guests sipping from their wine glasses, mingling, and laughing, high society in full swing. 

Seeing the atmosphere in the banquet hall, Wendy knew that this was the real high society. Although she had attended so–called high society gatherings before, they paled in comparison to a royal banquet. The people here were undoubtedly from influential families, all descendants of prominent families. 

Wendy smiled, realizing her naivety. She had always thought that the Harper family’s background was unrivaled. But it seemed that any man her age here was from a family no less prestigious than the Harpers. Even if some were less prestigious, how much less could they be? 

“Maybe I don’t need to fixate on one person. There may be better men in the world than Damon.” Wendy said with hope to Phoebe behind her. 

“Really? Then I sincerely hope you can find a man better than Mr. Harper tonight.” 

Wendy smiled. 

Just then, there was a commotion in the crowd.
