This time, Phoebe surprisingly complied, opening her mouth. Azriel popped the lollipop in, watching her
quiet and obedient demeanor. A soft smile flickered in his eyes. “Can we sit down now?”
How humiliating!
Phoebe didn’t move, so Azriel gave her a little tug and she went along with it, plopping down with her
lollipop.
Everyone was baffled, each wearing a mental question mark. Phoebe was surprisingly docile now, as if
the previous chaos had been nothing but a dream. It was a major contrast.
A lollipop, peach flavored, was all it took? What kind of magic trick was this?c2
Cole was in the dark as to why.
But with the situation finally under control, he was more than relieved.
The girl completely ruined the banquet, and he felt thoroughly embarrassed. If things continued,
tonight’s business dinner would be a complete disaster. Even the killer had been revealed, what else
could possibly happen?
Grace turned pale with fear, standing in place, trembling, her lips unable to find the words to speak.
Cole took a deep breath, his facial muscles twitching. He put on a gentlemanly smile and said to
Damon, “Twenty billion dollars, Damon, are you
serious?”
“Mm.”
Damon responded simply, giving Cole a confirmed answer.
Cole glanced at Wendy, pondering. Although unsure why Damon gave them the money, it was exactly
what they needed.
Wendy bit her lip tightly, her face full of anxiety. Her heart was filled with anticipation. With this, her
relationship with Damon might have a chance to turn around. She didn’t know what Damon was
thinking, but tonight, in front of Chloe, she was the winner. Turning to Chloe, she said, “I never thought
that tonight’s biggest investor would be Damon. I don’t know why, but I’m grateful for his faith and
support in the Alonso family.”
Phoebe looked worriedly at Chloe, fearful that Damon’s actions would upset her, leading to irreversible
consequences. But seeing Chloe’s sweet smile, Phoebe realized she was worrying for nothing. Who
had ever seen Chloe do anything irreversible because of a problem? No one.
Chloe leaned back in her chair, ignoring Wendy’s deliberate provocation. She watched as the total
investment on the screen increased by twenty billion dollars.
“I wonder, Ms. Summers, did you know Damon was going to invest so much in the Alonso family.”
“No.” Damon replied, “But she won’t be angry with me.”
“Really?” Wendy smiled. “That’s good. It would be a shame… if you two were to fight over this.”
Chloe picked up her thermos, pouring herself some water to soothe her dry throat.
“We won’t argue. I think this project is worth investing in. He always has a unique vision and making
money is always a joy to me.”
Wendy scoffed. At this point, every word Chloe spoke seemed to be a forced act in her
Chloe’s lips curled into a smile, she nodded, her eyes sparkling “Honesty is the best policy”
“Hmph!” Wendy snorted, ignoring her and shifting her gaze to Damon. She was hopeful a skeptical
“I hope Ms. Summers speaks the truth.”
all the possibilities, but she also felt uneasy and
She didn’t understand why Damon, who had always kept his distance from her and the Alonso family,
suddenly chose to get close after successfully distancing himself. His sudden move made her both
happy and worried.
“Damon, can you tell me why?” She couldn’t help but ask. She was sure something was off.
But Damon remained silent. The atmosphere grew awkward. Seeing this, Cole immediately pushed
Wendy aside. “Alright, alright, thanks everyone for your trust and support. The project fundraising has
gone smoothly, and I believe that in the near future, you will see the project bring you profits dozens or
even hundreds of times more than tonight.”
With those words, applause broke out from the crowd.
Tonight’s drama was intense, and the antics of Phoebe had caused some hesitation. After all, it was
one thing to have family disputes, but to involve a murder case was a bit too much. A company couldn’t
just dominate the market and ignore everything else.
However, Damon’s twenty billion dollars instantly steadied their wavering hearts. If anyone knew the
Alonso family well, it was the Harper family. Although Damon had left the Harper family, he would know
everything he needed to know.
The reporters around the perimeter were nearly driven mad by the events of the night.
Wendy had arranged for the reporters to come in the first place. After all, tonight was meant to be a
triumphant evening for the Alonsos, destined to make Chloe feel embarrassed and restless throughout
the night.
But Cole was a crafty old fox. Perhaps tired of Wendy’s shenanigans, he allowed the reporters in but
had guards keeping them at bay, not letting them near the center of the banquet. Even when Phoebe
was causing trouble, they could only watch from afar without getting close enough to interview
When it looked like the banquet was going to be ruined by Phoebe, the always low–key Damon
suddenly announced an investment of twenty billion dollars, which was a surprise to everyone. The
Alonso family’s ability to bounce back time and time again was starting to get on people’s nerves.
For Damon’s sudden move, the reporters held their tongues all night, but in the end, they couldn’t keep
their silence. From behind the security barrier, they called out loudly.
“Mr. Harper,” one cried, “is your sudden investment of $20 billion merely a vote of confidence in the
Alonso family’s current venture, or do you have an ulterior motive?”
“You’re well aware that Ms. Summers has been vying for a connection with the Alonsos. Why choose to
invest such a substantial amount in them now? Do you value money more than the affections of Ms.
Summers?”
“Ms. Summers,” another called, “what’s your take on Mr. Harper’s actions?”
“Tonight’s fundraiser pulled in over $30 billion, guaranteeing the success of the Alonso family’s project
and setting them on an unstoppable course for the future. Ms. Summers, with Mr. Harper acting as he
has, does this not indicate that you’ve completely given up on the Alonsos?”
