“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.”
“If it’s a collaboration with Ms. Summers, then it’s undoubtedly the best option.“c2
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
weren’t 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.
Chloe’s smile deepened. “You are flattering me, Mr. Lee. I’m just a businesswoman. I’m not above
personal interests. If there’s an opportunity, of course, I’d seize it. There’s nothing admirable about
that.”
Indeed, she was now the Alonso family’s largest shareholder. Attracting more investors would benefit
her the most. Why áll this admiration? Honestly, it made her feel a bit undeserving:–
“The fact is, Ms. Summers, no need to be modest. We have to admit that your poise and stature are
beyond our reach. Truly admirable.”
Chloe raised an eyebrow. Being praised like this made her feel a bit embarrassed. When they found
out about her stake in the Alonso family, the next meeting would certainly be awkward.
Wendy’s brows knitted tightly, suspicion and confusion clouding her eyes. She didn’t believe Chloe
would repay malice with kindness. Even Chloe herself probably wouldn’t believe she was that
magnanimous.
“Who knows how many identities Ms. Summers really has,” Wendy sneered. “Just outside, you told the
press you’re a vindictive person who would never repay a grudge with kindness. Yet here, you seem to
be a completely different person.”
Chloe arched an elegant eyebrow, her smile unwavering. “Don’t be swayed by rumors, Wendy. I never
claimed to be a saint. I’m vengeful, and prioritize profit. I’m no angel.”
Wendy’s eyes narrowed as she let out a cold laugh. “Well then, thank you for your kind words about our
project, Ms. Summers. Is it because you couldn’t secure a stake in the Alonso family, so now you’re
trying to profit from our project?”
Chloe nodded. “As a businesswoman, I won’t pass up an opportunity to make money. Your project is
indeed impressive. Your father must have worked hard to plan
it.
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.
