Chapter 1377

“Mr. Alonso, we’ve heard your daughter Wendy has high hopes for this project and the Alonso family is dead set on closing this deal. How are the negotiations going?”

The reporter’s question made Cole’s face tighten up in an instant. He speared the reporter with an icy stare and asked curtly, “Where did you get wind of my negotiations in the M Country?”

Another reporter piped up immediately, “Your daughter Wendy spilled the beans!”

“Don’t you know? The Harper Group is having a board meeting right now and Presley, in his bid to curry favor with you, is using his position as chairman to strong–arm Damon into marrying your daughter. And your daughter is supposedly at the meeting too!”

Cole’s face turned ashen. The crowd was puzzled at his reaction.

“Mr. Alonso seems a bit off.”

“It’s not just seeming, he’s really not okay!”

“But that can’t be right. He just closed a big deal. He should be fine!”

“Yeah.”

Everyone was left scratching their heads. Then, a voice came through the TV speakers, “Mr. Alonso, according to reliable sources, you haven’t signed any contracts with your partners in the M Country this time. What went wrong?”

The Harper Group’s boardroom fell deathly silent. Wendy and Presley’s smiles froze on their faces. People in the boardroom gawked at them, then a low murmur of conversation broke out
