Chapter 1556
The Alonsos were proving every word Chloe had shared with her to be accurate. How ironic. How can they win against Chloe when everything they did was so predictable?
"Phoebe! When did you become so unreasonable?” Grace was completely taken aback by Phoebe's recent changes. She had never taken her seriously before. Now, she realized just how formidable this young girl could be. She had always thought of her as an ineffectual bookworm. Little did she know that her mind was sharp and quick. Phoebe had seen through all their schemes and plans.
Phoebe sneered, "All you have to do is tell me if my suspicions are right or wrong."
But Wendy simply scoffed, "Phoebe, you've been acting out of character lately. Are you sure no one's been filling your head with these ideas?
“Remember, we are a real family. Don't be so naive as to let outsiders manipulate you. Don't you see that what you've said today, to them, is nothing but a joke? Do you feel happy when others see us, the Alonso family, as a joke?"
Phoebe paused, her gaze drifting towards Chloe in the corner. She frowned slightly, seemingly confused by Wendy's words. She was aware of the connection between herself and Chloe. And the reason she was questioning Cole in public tonight was because of something Chloe had casually mentioned.
If one were to put it that way, Chloe had indeed played a guiding role. But the decision was hers to make. She'd rather trust Chloe than the Alonsos. After all, she knew better than anyone what the Alonsos were really like. If she couldn't distinguish between friends and foes, then she deserved to be used as a pawn by the Alonsos for the rest of her life.
"You don't have to manipulate me. I don't need to choose between being happy or unhappy. All you need to do is answer my question, and nothing else matters. I just want an answer."
Wendy chuckled lightly, "Why wouldn't it matter? Someone is trying to sow discord and ruin our family bond. How can I let them succeed?"
Chloe raised an eyebrow at Wendy's words. This time, she indeed showed a bit of skill. Seeing the suspicious looks cast her way, it was Clear that the someone Wendy was referring to was none other than her.
She couldn't feign ignorance, especially under the piercing gaze of Cole and Grace. She smirked and sipped her milk. Then, leaning back in her chair, she casually said, "Phoebe, you don't really need to seek validation. Regardless, now that you've voiced your concerns here, you don't have to worry about them taking your shares, right? Everyone here can vouch for you. If your shares end up in your sister's hands, that'd be a real joke."
Chloe's words wiped the smile off Wendy's face. Her anger was evident.
Grace looked equally troubled. Unable to contain her frustration, she pointed at Chloe, accusing her, "It was you all along, wasn't it?
You've been manipulating Phoebe, driving a wedge between us!"

did it really end this way. can I have the rest of the book ending??...
So, all of them were basically forced into sexual acts by their partners the first time, then their partners wanted to seclude them from everyone. On top of that, all of are jealous of their own children. The only couple that seem to have it good were Azriel & Phoebe. This book was honestly quite sickening & there’s no way anyone should find this romantic...
