The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1388

Billions of dollars had been lost, stocks were still plummeting, and Cole was at his wit's end. The employees of the Alonso Corporation were freaking out.

Cole wanted to ask Presley for help, but found out that he was just barely out of the woods and was currently in a coma.

The atmosphere in the Alonso family was really heavy right now, like a dark cloud hanging over everyone's head, making everyone feel suffocated.

Wendy was hiding in her room all day, too scared to come out. Every time she saw the news about it, her heart ached like it was being ripped out.

Billions of dollars had been lost, and the stock price was getting worse by the day.

If this continued, they were afraid the Alonso family would be up the creek without a paddle in less than a week.

It was only now that Wendy truly felt the fear. The Alonso family had always been her only rock. It gave her the title of Ms. Alonso, a high status in society, making her feel superior. If the Alonso family really went under, everything she had now would be gone.

The actions of Yasmine and her daughter Chloe made her heart ache like it was on fire.

The Alonso family was a century-old family with deep roots, how could it be easily destroyed by these two women?

She was just starting to wear the title of Ms. Alonso, and now the Alonso family had turned into this. Everything seemed to be slipping away.

It all started with that bitch Chloe!

How could she possibly fail? She had the support of the Alonso family, how could she lose to such a worthless bitch?

She clenched her fists tightly. The nails had been trimmed off by Grace herself, and the palm of her hand was covered with old wounds. Although it was a bit painful, Wendy was already used to it.

Her body still had the whip marks left by Chloe, the bruises left by her pushing her down the stairs, the needle holes she had made, and the slap she had given her a few days ago.

There were too many scars left by Chloe on her body.

Chloe was a heartless bitch!

The Alonso family was hers! How could she let this bitch take her Alonso family as a wedding gift?

Cole was still in the living room, pacing back and forth with a gloomy face. Grace was sitting on the sofa, her eyes following Cole's movements until she felt dizzy. But she still didn't dare to say a word. She had tried too many times in the past two days, but each time she was shouted down by Cole's bad temper.

Each time he would sarcastically say that Wendy was her well-raised daughter.

Yeah, after all, the problem this time was caused by Wendy. Who would have thought that an entertainment company could cause such a big problem, pushing the Alonso family to this point.

This implied sarcasm made Cole's anger burn even more fiercely. If she could just keep quiet and behave, how could the Alonso family possibly have to go through these unnecessary losses?

Suddenly, he kicked the big TV to the ground. The loud noise was especially terrifying in the quiet living room.

Grace was so scared that she shrank back, her heart almost jumping out of her chest. She hesitated for a while on the sofa, then carefully spoke up, "Cole, what's the use of you getting angry? What's done is done."

"Billions of bucks, I could've done a lot with that, now it's all gone poof! And this deal, if it had gone through, how much dough would the Alonso family have raked in? Counting the profit and loss, do you have any idea how much I've lost?! I shouldn't get mad? Then you tell me, how the hell am I supposed to salvage this mess?!" Cole yelled at ther.

Grace's face turned red with embarrassment at Cole's words. She opened her mouth to speak but no words came out. How was she supposed to know the ins and outs of the business world?

"Dad, actually, you don't have to give up on this deal." Just as the atmosphere got tense, Wendy's voice floated down from upstairs.

Cole and Grace looked up to see Wendy descending the stairs.

Grace nervously approached Wendy, whispering, "Your dad's in a foul mood. What're you doing coming down here now?"

Wendy didn't respond, instead walking over to Cole, "Dad, Mom's right, since it's already happened, we just need to figure out a solution. I know I messed up and no matter what I do, you won't forgive me. I can only try my best to make up for my mistake."

Cole scowled at her, his voice frosty, "I'd be eternally grateful if you could go one day without causing me trouble, let alone make up for your mistake."
