The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1455

Ava felt annoyed whenever she saw someone from the Alonso family, especially Wendy, whose behavior was like that of a madwoman, causing her to lose dignity at the banquet. If it were possible, she would have wanted to strangle her right then and there. Now they were asking for her help, which was incredibly frustrating.

Maybe noticing Ava’s impatience, Cole immediately said, “Now that the Harper Group is in Robin’s hands, and the Alonso family deserves some credit for it. If our family faces any problems, you might lack two powerful allies at a crucial moment.

“Everyone knows that I came to the Y Country to discuss business with you. If I return empty–handed, people might speculate that your power has weakened. You are the princesses of the royal family, and whether Chloe is truly a princess is still under investigation. You shouldn’t let people start ridiculing you so early, right?”

Ava couldn’t stand being mocked, especially when she had planned everything meticulously only to end up with nothing. Cole had a point. In terms of finances, her family had no issues. Over the years in the Y Country, Ava had accumulated a significant amount of wealth for her family through her princess status. At least in the Y Country, apart from the mysterious group Obsidian, her family was a first–class existence. However, if they wanted to expand the influence of her family beyond the Y Country, they needed to open up other channels. The Harper Group and the Alonso family would be excellent assistants.

Frowning, Ava walked toward the villa. As she passed by the entrance, she glanced at Wendy with a hint of disgust in her eyes. She stopped in her tracks and said, “I can help the Alonso family, but not through cooperation..I want to acquire 20% of the Alonso family’s shares.”

Wendy’s expression suddenly changed. “Aren’t you just taking advantage of the situation? The Alonso family has also helped your family a lot over the years, and now that we are in trouble, you’re making such outrageous demands.”

“Stop mentioning our relationship. Who was the one that lost control at the banquet? You’ve only been here for a few days, and you’ve already ruined my reputation. And now you want to negotiate with me? Our family is not short of money, and considering the current situation of the Alonso family, I don’t actually value the 20% shares. But just the thought of someone like you being the heir of the Alonso family makes it a waste of effort for me to help you.” Ava scolded Wendy, making her face turn red. Wendy gritted her teeth but couldn’t say a word.

Cole closed his eyes, looking exhausted as if he had aged overnight. “You’re right. If you obtain a 20% stake, the Alonso family may not be destroyed in Wendy’s hands. That’s the condition I agree to.”

Although the Alonso family wouldn’t collapse so easily, giving away 20% of the shares was painful for Cole.

At that moment, Phoebe suddenly descended from the stairs. Cole saw her and called her over in a cold voice.

in front of me. Phoebe is right. The current situation of the Alonso family is solely Wendy’s responsibility. The shares I want should come from her. Moreover, Phoebe is going to get married in the future.
