Chapter 1335
Seeing the troubled expressions on her colleagues‘ faces, Wendy felt a bit of relief. Her eyes were ablaze with
resentment. As long as the Alonso family was still around, and no matter how clever Chloe was, what could she do
against her?
Chloe didn’t go to the office that day; she took a stroll downstairs after lunch. Because of the two tall men in black
following her, her presence attracted curious glances wherever she went. So, Chloe walked a lap around the man–
made lake in the community, then returned to her apartment.
She sat on the sofa, flipping through web pages on her phone. The content was the same as before, except now
there were more updates about the news she had Starlight International release. Reporters gathered at the
entrance of Infinity Media.
“From what I understand, most of Infinity Media’s artists are now in Ms. Wendy’s office.”
“True that, they’ve been having a rough time since Ms. Alonso took over. Their work is being cancelled left and
right, and Infinity Media hasn’t kept up with their contractual commitments. It’s no surprise they’re all looking to
terminate their contracts.”
“Ms. Wendy screwed up again today, she won’t let them go just like that, I bet. She’s lucky she was born with a
silver spoon in her mouth!”
“You mean Ms. Phoebe, right?”
“Ever since the secret was revealed at the engagement party, the real Ms. Alonso has been pretty quiet…”

“That poor girl, she’s been under their thumb all these years! No matter what the truth is, what can she really do?”

Thinking about this simple and honest girl, Chloe’s brow furrowed slightly. She had seen her at the engagement
party. She had so much to deal with all of a sudden, how was she doing now?
Angie should be with her all the time though.
After a moment of thought, she sent Angie a message. [How is Phoebe?]
Angie’s voice message was tearful. [She’s not doing well. Paolo whipped her, leaving her body covered in wounds.
It’s too much.]
Chloe’s expression tightened, and she immediately made a call. “What happened?”
“…She confronted him about the past when she came back… and he was so cruel… He claims Phoebe is ungrateful
when she’s just asking about her mother’s -suspicious death… How can she be ungrateful… Questioning about her
mother’s death is only right… She is the true eldest daughter of the Alonso family… not only
did Paolo not explain, but he also treated her so badly…”
?
Chloe’s expression turned icy. “All this time, her father didn’t give any explanation?”
Angie’s voice was stuffy. “Yes… and I heard from the Harper family… Paolo is planning an arranged marriage with
another family… the Bowles family from P City… Apparently Mr. Bowles is an… idiot…”
“If this is true, who do you think he will marry off… between the two daughters of the Alonso family?” Angie asked
anxiously.
Chloe pressed her lips together. Would Paolo really marry Wendy to an idiot? She rubbed her forehead. “This isn’t
confirmed yet, and you don’t need to worry. The Alonso family has always been proud, how could they allow their
own daughter to marry an idiot?”
“Really?”
“…Yes.” Chloe paused before responding. How could she possibly have a definite answer to this? Who knew what
the Alonso family would or wouldn’t do?
After hanging up, Chloe sprawled on the sofa, and stared at the empty room feeling a bit out of sorts.
Was she a workaholic by nature?
She was so bored. Was there no one to keep her company?
1. 1.
She picked up her phone and started browsing the web again, reading the comments online; all she could do was
wait for Damon to finish work.
In the Peck family’s living room, the atmosphere was a bit weird.
Winston would join the film crew in a week, the first major TV drama he was filming since he returned home was
about to start.
So starting today, all his work had been postponed, and this week was his‘ only free time.
Winston didn’t like to participate in variety shows. And Chloe, aside from necessary movie promotions, wouldn’t
arrange any other variety shows for him. For someone as cold as Winston, even with a variety of shows, none
would suit him anyway. He was already an international best actor, and Chloe hoped he could focus more on acting.
As for his presence, some people could just stand, and they wouldn’t be ignored.
Like Damon.
Winston also had that charm. He had an attractive appearance, a perfect body, and a cool demeanor. Whenever
he showed up, it would ignite his fans‘ passion.

Although she didn’t know why his aloof face was so popular.
Winston had two roles in Chloe’s eyes. Firstly, as a top star in her company, making occasional appearances that
would elevate the company’s image. Secondly, as an international best actor. He contributed to the country’s film
and television industry, and he had a responsibility to elevate the country’s film and television industry. His
participation in film and television works would naturally attract a lot of attention.
As soon as Winston got home, he changed into casual attire and was now sitting on the sofa watching TV. Then
Rose came in with Yasmine from outside, surprised to see Winston.
“Why are you home?” Yasmine asked casually.
“I’m taking a break before joining the crew next week.”
“Alright.”
Then Yasmine glanced at Rose, who also looked bored, and then she said to Winston, “Since you’re free, why don’t
you take Rose out for a few days? You two have known each other for a long time, but you’ve been acting like
strangers lately. What’s up with that?”

Winston’s gaze swept over Rose. “I’ve got zero experience with pregnant women.”
Yasmine couldn’t help but chime in, “So, you’re saying you’ve got experience with kids then?”
Winston frowned, but before he could say anything, Yasmine continued, “Since you’re all free, I’m heading to
Angel’s Haven Orphanage tomorrow. You and Rose should tag along.”
Winston cocked an eyebrow. “Angel’s Haven Orphanage?”
That rang a bell. It was where Ms. Yasmine grew up.
“I might as well see if Chloe can make it… She’s about to become a mom, she should start learning how to take
care of a kiddo…”
