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.”

However, the expected sound of a slap didn’t resonate.

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

No matter how Phoebe, that damn bitch, caused trouble, it wouldn’t change the fact that she was the future head of the Alonso family, and the heir to the family fortune, She would settle scores with Phoebe when the time was right. For now, the important thing was not her. A polite smile spread across her pale face, and she moved closer to Azriel, saying, “So, you’re Mr.
