With the backing of the Alonso family, there was no way any of them would stoop so low to do
something that crossed ethical lines.
The sound of a car engine echoed from outside, followed by Addie’s excited announcement, “Ms.
Alonso is here.”
Presley furrowed his brow, and as he looked up, he saw Wendy walking in carrying two paper bags.
Her steps were graceful, and her delicately made–up face bore a relaxed and natural smile.
Robin’s lips curved upward. Her persistence was, after all, commendable. He had thought that Ms.
Wendy was a scaredy–cat, hiding away from people like the rumors outside suggested.
“Grandpa Presley, I’ve brought you your favorite Ceylon tea. It was shipped here from overseas a
couple of days ago, tastes really good. You can try it first.” Wendy acted as if nothing had happened,
presenting herself gracefully.
“Thanks.” Presley replied casually. Watching Wendy, he couldn’t comprehend why she had done
something so foolish and outrageous before.
Presley’s indifference made Wendy a bit awkward, but Robin intervened, “Have a seat.
Wendy sat down on the sofa with a smile, “Thank you.”
Robin didn’t beat around the bush, asking directly, “How have you been these days? You’re all over the
news, so you must be under a lot of pressure, huh?” “Can’t help it. What’s done is done…” Wendy’s
smile faded a bit.
Robin glanced at the indifferent Presley beside him.
“You’re really tough, being a girl and all, dealing with such pressure. If your dad Cole were here, he’d
definitely protect you from this… By the way, didn’t Cole go to M Country for some business recently?
Is he back yet, or will it take some more time?”
Presley, who had remained expressionless, finally reacted.
“Should be any day now. I heard dad was supposed to have been back two days ago, but something
must have held him up.”
Robin nodded, “Well… a few more days won’t hurt. Once Cole’s business deal is successful, the
Alonso family will remain prosperous.”
Thank you, Mr. Robin,” Wendy replied expressionlessly, but felt a surge of joy inside. She hadn’t heard
the specifics from Cole, only that it was important to the family from Grace. But if even Robin was
describing it as prospering, it showed just how important this deal was.
No wonder Grace said Grandpa Presley would go all out to have her marry Damon. Even the Harper
family couldn’t guarantee “eternal prosperity,” and if the Harper and Alonso families were to unite,
wouldn’t the Harper family also be secured?
At this point, Grandpa Presley finally reacted, he glanced at Wendy, “You really don’t plan on running
Infinity Media?”
With a bitter smile, Wendy replied, “Grandpa Presley, I’m really not good with business. I feel guilty
whenever I think about my dad handing over the Alonso family to me. I fear I might not live up to
expectations. Her words were filled with uncertainty and confusion about the future. She lowered her
head, looking rather helpless. “But haven’t you been studying business for years?” Grandpa Presley
asked.
“I have been, but it’s all theoretical. I can make decisions about minor things, but I wouldn’t dare to
make hasty decisions about major ones.”
Robin’s eyes flashed a hint of sarcasm. This strategy of retreating in order to advance was well–played.
“Don’t worry, Damon will be there. The Harpers and the Alonsos have always been close. If you’re in
trouble, he’ll definitely help.”
Wendy cautiously glanced at Grandpa Presley, “But will Damon help me? He dislikes me so much right
now, what if he doesn’t agree…”
“Silly girl, look at you all flustered, working so hard to become the lady of the Harper family, how could
Damon not help?“Robin kept that smile on his face and directly voiced Wendy’s thoughts.
Wendy’s face instantly turned red, and she hurriedly looked at Grandpa Presley across from her. “But
Damon is with Chloe…”
“They’re not married yet.” Grandpa Presley’s voice suddenly turned stern.
Wendy’s heart pounded even faster. It seemed that her decision to hold a press conference and show
up in front of the journalists today was the right one. As long as her identity was established, everything
else would become much simpler.
She came today to test Grandpa Presley’s intentions, and the current result was the best news she
could have heard. She heard that Presley was going to hold a Board of Directors meeting a while ago,
to put pressure on Damon to agree to be with her. Now it seemed that the issue with Infinity Media
didn’t change Grandpa Presley’s decision. Of course, all of this was thanks to Robin who had been
helping Wendy from the start.
Now knowing what Grandpa Presley thought, Wendy can breathe a sigh of relief for now.
But after a while, a troubled look crossed Wendy’s face. ‘I admit that I’ve messed up a lot recently, but
it’s all because I’m head over heels for Damon… But all I’ve done is make myself look bad in front of
everyone and make Damon loathe me even more. I… I don’t know what to do to make Damon like me
more…
Presley furrowed his brows, “Love takes time to grow, you can’t rush it. You also need to think about
the consequences of your actions. Just be a good girl from the Alonso family and avoid standing out
too much in public, especially in front of the media.”
Wendy nodded, “Yeah, that’s what I was planning.”
After a brief chat, Wendy left.
Addie walked her out. Wendy asked, “Has Chloe been here these days?”
Addie replied, “No, not since the last time you saw her.”
Wendy frowned, thought for two seconds, then smiled, “It’s better if she doesn’t come at all, in case she
suddenly decides to suck up to Grandpa Presley…” Realizing that Addie was beside her, Wendy’s
expression changed instantly, “Grandpa Presley is one of the few people who are on my side, I’m
scared…” “I get it,” Addie hurriedly said.
Wendy smiled at her, “And you, you’re the second nicest person to me in the whole Harper family.”
1/2
Looking at Wendy’s pure and innocent smile, Addie felt very comforted.
“Ms. Alonso, you have nothing to worry about. Families like the Harpers are most concerned with social
status and compatibility. Especially after the Alonso family lands that big deal, your status is definitely
going to rise more than a notch. If we talk about someone who’s worthy of Mr. Harper, besides you,
who else is there? Chloe couldn’t compare to you before, and now she’s even less qualified to do so.”
