The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1567

“Deal!” Cole broke the silence.

“Dad!” Wendy’s face turned an ashy color.

“Zip it, Wendy!” Cole’s outburst towards Wendy was so sudden that it left the room in stunned silence.

She had insisted on discussing such personal matters in this public setting, and now their family’s reputation was in tatters. The mandatory 30% share bride price was already a joke, and now it was converted into 30 billion dollars, which was the same as selling his daughter while he had the chance. All because of her, he had lost all his dignity in what should have been a flawless evening

Cole pursed his lips, lifting his gaze to meet Azriel’s. “Three billion, and I agree to marry Phoebe to you As for the Alonso family, we hope you’ll lend a helping hand when needed. After all, you are now part of the family, and you’re also its largest shareholder“c2

Azriel simply shook his head, a smile playing on his lips. “Mr. Alonso, you seem to misunderstand something. The three billion is for Phoebe to be free from your family. I’m sorry, but the largest shareholder of the Alonso family is not me.”

Cole’s facial muscles twitched uncontrollably. He had agreed to the three billion without hesitation, thinking he could negotiate the share issue with Azriel after he and Phoebe were married. Now it seemed like he was literally selling his daughter. And there was no room for negotiation over the shares?!

“You…”
