The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 932

Chapter 932 

Elizabeth’s family shindig was a private dinner party, with most of the invites being the ladies from the high and mighty. 

Among these blue bloods, there were many skeletons in the closet. The real rich girls, with all their wealth and power, often came off as snobbish and rude. As for their reputation as refined and intelligent, most people just laughed it off. 

Wendy was always super careful when handling stuff. She had a strict door policy, keeping all the press at bay. 

Even though it was a private bash that wasn’t trying to keep a low profile, it was inevitable that these blue–blooded get–togethers would always be a riot. So, outside the venue tonight, the parking lot was filled with world–class wheels. The gents and ladies stepping out of the vehicles were all decked out, sharp suits and swishing skirts. 

Inside the banquet hall, it was a clinking mess of glasses. 

Wendy, dressed in the gown Elizabeth bought for her yesterday, stood at the entrance with a big grin, graciously welcoming the guests. 

The last welcome party Wendy hosted didn’t go so well, so seeing Wendy again was a treat for a few of the ladies, who couldn’t stop gabbing around her. “Wendy, long time no see. You’re getting prettier by the day.” 

“Grace has really hit the jackpot. She can birth and raise kids. Look at how great Wendy’s turned out.” 

“Yeah, and she’s going to be the future head of the Alonso family. We were all taken aback. It’s unheard of for a woman to take control of the family.” 

“The Alonso family has so many businesses. Just thinking about it scares the bejeezus out of me. I’m afraid I’d mess things up. But Wendy seems totally chill.” Wendy was a bit embarrassed by all the praises, “I’m just young and fearless, ignorant of the world. What the future holds, who can tell.” 

“No worries. You won’t have to worry too much in the future. You and Damon grew up together, right? If there’s any problem, he can handle it.” There were people present who had also attended the Harper family’s dinner party, and a lot of them knew about Damon’s fiancee. 

Wendy’s face stiffened a bit, and she said awkwardly, “Damon and I are just friends who grew up together.” 

A few clueless ladies laughed. 

“Look, she’s blushing. Who doesn’t know that Damon’s always had a soft spot for you. Everyone says you’ll be his wife in the future!” 

“Yeah Presley likes you too, right? Look at you now, you’re arranging Mrs. Harper’s family gathering all by yourself. Who else has that kind of clout?” Yeah, whether it’s status, appearance, or talent, which woman can match Wendy now?” 

Everyone in the room nodded in agreement when they heard this. 

The Alonso family was one of the major families. In terms of status, there were hardly a few who could hold a candle to the Alonso family. 

Even though the words just now sounded like flattery, they were all true. 

Wendy gave a slight smile, her face a mix of shy and humble, “Don’t say that. There’s always someone better.” 

A few people said it was impossible, “Forget it. If there were people better than you, they should have shown up by now, not wait till now.” “Huh? Who’s that?” 

“Ah, her…” 

“She has such a good temperament, and she’s pretty.” 

There was a stir around, a few people looked in the direction of the sound, and gasped in astonishment. 

“Oh my, this…” 

Wendy frowned, turned her head to look, and the smile on her face froze instantly. 

Chloe was wearing a pale pink lace embroidered gown, vintage design. The small stand collar around her neck, although hiding her neck, only emphasized her beautiful swan–like neck. 

Her slender shoulders looked very elegant. Her waist was thin, and the skirt reached her ankles, swaying with her steps. Her long hair was tied behind her head without any extra decoration, only a pair of pale pink teardrop diamond earrings, simple and gentle. 

Light makeup, looking clean and generous, both capable and soft. 

Chloe’s outfit was probably the most conservative in the whole banquet hall. 

These days, women seemed to like to show as much skin as possible. They were all trying to show off, each trying to outdo the other. However, when they saw Chloe, they were somewhat at a loss for words. 

As Chloe walked into the banquet hall. Wendy watched her elegant and gentle figure, fists secretly clenched. 

Chloe stood at the entrance of the banquet hall. Her eyes, like glass, scanned the room and then withdrew when she didn’t see Elizabeth. When she saw Wendy, she slightly tugged the corner of her mouth and nodded at her, as a greeting. 

Then, her face returned to its cool state, as if saying, “Keep your distance“. 

“My, who is this lady? How come I’ve never seen her before?” Someone’s eyes showed admiration. 

“Hmph, she must have dressed like that on purpose, just to attract attention.”
