The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1557

Grace’s face turned as pale as a sheet, shocked by Phoebe’s words.

“You… Phoebe, you’ve gone too far. You ungrateful, double–crossing wretch, you’re getting off on causing trouble, aren’t you?!”

“Double–crossing?” Wendy glanced at Grace with a smirk. “You’re right. The shares in my hands are of no use to me, so why not sell them to someone else? It might be a good option.”

The cold voice floated down from above her. “Mr. Alonso, did you invite me here for a business dinner, or to witness domestic abuse?”
