The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1480

She glared at Grace with fiery eyes. "You claim you've made sacrifices? Grace, who gave you the right to say that? The Alonso family never belonged to you, so how can you say I've stolen it?"
"You caused my mother's death, and took over as Ms. Grace, so now the whole Alonso family is yours, is that it?
I won't let my mother's death go unanswered! The bad things you did back in the day, it's about time you got your punishment!
Look at Wendy now, not even a fool would take her. Who would marry her in the future? As a member of the Alonso family, she can't even fulfill the basic functions, what right does she have to run the Alonso family?
You treat her like a jewel, but to others, she's less than trash!
Hand the Alonso Corporation to her? You'd be better off selling the shares directly to Starlight International, at least you won't end up on the streets."
Cole's face turned ashen, but he had no retort to Phoebe's words.
Wendy's limbs were ruined by Damon, her body violated by a fool, dumped at the altar, and her reputation was already in the gutter. Now that not even a fool wanted her, who would want to marry her?
Phoebe's words were harsh, but they were the truth.
At this moment, someone mentioned that Chloe won twenty billion in the casino overnight.
Twenty billion, what a coincidence.
She won twenty billion overnight, while the twenty billion he was hoping for, were the shares he was forced to sell.
How ironic when you thought about it.
Twenty billion...
With the companies under Chloe's name, she had enough capital to compete with the Alonso Corporation...
He couldn't help but feel a little wary of Chloe.
But how did the once mighty Alonso Corporation come to this crisis?
There was no conflict of interest between him and Chloe, so how...
He looked at Wendy, who was being held by Grace, her eyes vacant, and a surge of anger rose in his heart.
That was right!
All of this was caused by Wendy, whom he had put so much hope in!
If it wasn't for her messing with Chloe, the Alonso Corporation wouldn't have ended up like this!
"Cole, think it through, no matter how bad Wendy is, she's still an Ellis. Her relationship with Princess Ava is well-known! At least she can rely on Princess Ava in the future. But what can Phoebe do, all by herself?"
Cole's eyes flickered, right!
That was the key.
With this connection to Princess Ava, handing the Alonso family to Wendy was much more reliable than handing it to Phoebe.
Phoebe could tell what Cole had decided at this moment and snorted.
"Well, if you insist, I won't force you. But believe me, handing the Alonso family to this mother-and-daughter pair will only speed up its destruction! If you don't believe me, just wait, and see how the Alonso family goes down!"
After saying this, Phoebe gave them a sarcastic glance, lifted her skirt, and walked away.
She had expected Cole's final decision.
So, she didn't feel sad.
On the contrary, she felt elated tonight because she was no longer the weakling she used to be, because she had completely defeated Wendy tonight.
Yes, completely defeated her!
She wouldn't feel guilty about defeating someone, especially since that person was her own sister and because it wasn't worth it.
If it wasn't her tonight, the one locked in the room, being pinned down by a fool, would have been her...
Her sister-in-law was right, they didn't have to always be kind in the face of these provocations.
Only by protecting themselves could they be kind.
Her sister-in-law was right, she was right...
Phoebe smiled gently, yet tears fell from her eyes. Her steps quickened, and she began to run!
On the cold winter night, the chilly air hit her face, making the tracks of her tears even colder.
She had endured harsh treatment for many years, always thinking that if she didn't fight or grab, she would be safe.
But they never let her go.
She used to be weak.
She didn’t have a mother since childhood, and her grandparents loved her, but since they passed away a few years ago, she had no one to rely on.
Other than the Alonso family, she had no one to lean on.
Just like now, leaving the Alonso family, she didn't even know where to go.
On her journey of loss and confusion, Phoebe ended up at the old house her grandparents left in P City.
She hadn't been to this house for a long time. When her grandparents bought it, they loved the tranquility here. The exterior and interior of the villa all had a distinct European style.
Both of her grandparents were educators in their youth. They met and fell in love on campus. Both families were scholarly and had many outstanding descendants, and their reputations were still highly regarded.
Unfortunately, their daughter married into a family of capitalists who were deeply greedy for money and power.
Back then, she didn't understand what people meant by "pity."
Now, she finally understood.
It was money and power that took her mother's life.
If she had anything to be grateful to the Alonso family for, it was that they kept her alive, even if only as a tool.
But she was glad that the Alonso family had money, which allowed her to continue studying until now.
She thought this would be the only thing her grandparents would be pleased about.
The villa was uninhabited for most of the year. When she arrived late at night, the whole villa was hidden in the darkness, and only the huge silhouette of the villa could be vaguely seen.
She lifted her skirt and hobbled over, fumbling for a while at the angel sculpture by the front door, and then fumbled for a while at the front door, finally, the door creaked open.
She let out a soft sigh, lifting her skirt and stepping in. The warm temperature in the room immediately enveloped her, driving away the chill. She reached out to switch on the entrance light, but it didn't turn on.
She tried a few more times, but the light still didn't come on.
The house had been unoccupied for a while, so it was probably out of power.
Taking a deep breath, she relied on the moonlight coming from the window to navigate her way into the living room and found the couch where she curled up.
The room was really warm...
What happened tonight was the craziest thing she had ever done, almost draining all her energy.
Gradually, she drifted off to sleep.
Meanwhile, in a luxury car cruising through the night, this conversation took place.
"Mr. Azriel, the villa you ordered to be cleaned is all done. The heating has been sorted out too. There shouldn't be any major problems. Would you like to stay in a hotel tonight or go straight back to the villa?"
"Back to the villa," he responded in a low and indifferent tone.
