The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1552

Chapter 1552

"We've always had faith in Ms. Summers’ abilities; one of them said, shifting uncomfortably. "If there's a chance for collaboration, we would certainly prefer to work with Ms. Summers.’

Chloe simply nodded. "Don't worry. It's rare to find a project this promising. There's enough profit to go around.’

The crowd around her grew, their curiosity piqued by Chloe's surprising candor. "So, Ms. Summers,’ someone ventured, "are you suggesting you might invest in the Alonso family's project?”

"Your confidence is strangely reassuring, Ms. Summers.'b2

"If it's a collaboration with Ms. Summers, then it's undoubtedly the best option.”

Chloe only smiled in response.

"Business is business, and personal matters should be brought into it." someone reasoned. "If the Alonso family's heiress invited you here, they wouldn't reject your investment, right?"

They were all uncertain whether Chloe would invest or not. But if she could put aside her personal grudges to invest in the Alonso family's project, the project must truly be something extraordinary.

"Make up your own minds; Chloe advised. "The business world is unpredictable. No one knows what unexpected turns a sure-win project might take. But I trust your judgment. If you think it's worth investing in, then make your move and have no regrets. As for whether I will get involved with the Alonso family's project... they are not the type to just sit back and watch without putting up a fight, right?”

Chloe's gaze shifted to the distance. Following her line of sight, the crowd saw Wendy wheeling towards them. Her expression was far

from pleasant. Well, what did they say about enemies meeting with an extra hint of hostility in their eyes? That was it.

As she drew nearer, Wendy managed to plaster on a smile. "What are you all talking about? You guys looks so happy."

Chloe merely smirked but said nothing. Wendy's gaze lingered on Chloe for a few seconds before she scoffed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, she began, "the Alonso family wouldn't have hosted this business dinner if we werent confident in our project. I trust your judgment, and I'm sure you won't be swayed by the malicious whispers of certain individuals."

The crowd exchanged uncomfortable glances.

"You're mistaken, Ms. Wendy; one of them said. "Ms. Summers values this project."

"Yes, she even convinced us it's safe to invest. Ms. Wendy, don't jump to conclusions."

"Business affairs are totally different from personal ones. We have to admire Ms. Summers for distinguishing that so clearly."

Wendy's brows furrowed further. What right did Chloe have to comment on the Alonso family's project like that? "Ms. Summers, no matter how hard we worked, it was for the family;’ Wendy shot back, her voice icy. "What gives you the right to comment on it?"

Chloe raised an eyebrow. "Of course, it's said from the perspective of a beneficiary. If the opportunity arises, I will definitely thank your father properly."

Chloe's words clearly had a hidden meaning, and the more Wendy listened, the more grating it became. An instinctive flame of anger rose within her. The others were equally confused. They could sense something was off in Chloe's words, but they couldn't figure out what she was implying.

Wendy forced down her anger and composed herself. She reasoned that Chloe might be trying to maintain a dignified facade to hide her concern, to avoid appearing flustered. That was the only plausible explanation Wendy could think of, and it managed to quell her anger. Turning to the onlookers, she smiled. "It's an honour indeed to have earned Ms. Summers’ approval."

The investors around the room started to relax, grinning broadly.

They had always thought that the Alonso family project was a hot cake. Their only fear was that Chloe would hold on to the Alonso family too tightly. Despite the project seeming like a sure win, and with so many renowned entrepreneurs and investors in attendance tonight, they were confident that the Alonso family would strike gold.

With ample funding, there would naturally be no worries about the project running into trouble. Under normal circumstances, this was a sure bet, and there was absolutely no need for concern.

However, the group of them surreptitiously glanced at Chloe and couldn't help but shudder. Who knew what Chloe might do next?

In the face of Chloe, their certainty seemed to waver. Don't be fooled by her appearance; she was no pushover. She was the kind of person you'd want as an ally, not an enemy. Thankfully, her demeanor tonight was, at the very least, amicable.
