The tense atmosphere from their just–ended Board of Directors meeting had barely subsided, andthey were about to call for another meeting right away.
The purpose of this meeting was well–known. The last board meeting aimed to decide the nextchairman between Robin and Damon. In the end, Damon not only refrained from participating in thecompetition for the chairman position but also resigned from his role in front of all shareholders.
However, the final appointment letter had not yet been officially issued, so they could only act as ifnothing had happened.
Damon still held the position of CEO.
This time was different from the past because rumors were circulating within the company thatPresley intended to announce at the upcoming board meeting that Robin would succeed aschairman. Indeed, these rumors were true.
Yesterday’s video from Y Country’s airport showed Wendy initially in a wheelchair. Some mediaoutlets had raised doubts about this. Early this morning. Cole, who was far away in Y Country,invited reporters from the domestic news agency stationed in Y Country to hold a press conferenceand provide an explanation for Wendy’s situation.
At this moment, in Damon’s office, the video of the press conference held by Cole, intentionallycirculated domestically, was also being played.
Cole said in front of the media, ‘Everyone knows that the Harper family and the Alonso family havebeen close friends for many years. My daughter Wendy and the eldest grandson of the Harperfamily have grown up together as good friends. Even if there is no love between the two, there is
deep friendship. Everyone is curious about why my daughter is sitting in a wheelchair. Now I willanswer you It’s all because of the eldest grandson of the Harper family. Wendy has six bullet holesin her body.
all.
“I cant even imagine. Damon is also a child I watched grow up, and he shouldn’t be such a crueland ruthless person. However, he has harmed my daughter, the girl he has taken care of sincechildhood, in this way If there is any reason for him to become like this, I think it must be due to Ms.Chloe’s influence. I believe that she’s jealous and unwilling, afraid that Damon will leave herbecause of family and identity reaso
asons to be with Wendy, and that takes this opportunity to speak ill of Wendy in front of Damon,Damon would not do such a thing.
“The relationship between the Alonso family and the Harper family has been maintained for somany years, and it’s really not easy. I am also willing to believe that Damon is only temporarilyinfatuated with
that woman.
“Nevertheless, I want to say, if a man who controls the entire Harper Group, listens only to awoman’s words, the Harper Group will undoubtedly pay a substantial price for this in the nearfuture.
“For the benefit of the Harper Group, I want to issue a warning. If Damon persists in his infatuationand remains involved with that woman, it may be prudent for the Harper Group to seek alternativemanagement in the future.”
His final remarks appeared casual but carried a semblance of reason.
Nonetheless, with the imminent board meeting and Cole’s released video, Damon undoubtedlyfaces a significant setback. As the heir to the Harper Group, Darion had often been influenced by awoman, making him prone to disruptions in his decision–making.
Damon arched an eyebrow, turned his head to face the silent Nate, and requested, “Provide asummary of his intent.”
Nate bit his lip, swallowed nervously, and spoke with a serious tone, “In essence, Mr. Alonsosuggests that Mrs. Harper is a perilous seductress, and you, in turn, are an ineffectual ruler.”Damon fell into a brief silence, then smiled and remarked, “A perilous seductress. He summarized itwell.
Nate was speechless and thought to himself, “Could you be a tad more serious, Mr. Harper?! It’squite evident that you were labeled a ‘useless emperor, yet the emphasis still lingers on the perilousseductress. Doesn’t that appear somewhat too casual?!”
“Indeed, Mrs. Harper is exceptionally beautiful.” Nate said.
“Ha–ha!” A familiar laughter echoed. Nathan, seated on the couch, was engrossed in his game butfound amusement in Nate’s words.
“I often wondered why you’ve been so close to my brother all these years. It seems there’s a goodreason. You’re quite skilled at flattery!” Nathan said.
Damon casted a sidelong glance at Nathan. “Flattery?”
Nathan promptly set aside his phone and embraced the role of a devoted follower, offering athumbs–up as he exclaimed, “Your wife is genuinely charming, intelligent, and courageous!”
Nate felt like facepalming. These two brothers were indeed a handful. One appeared suave, yet hishumor was helplessly natural. The other appeared serious, but in moments of levity, he might be
less serious than anyone else.
In any case, each of these two brothers was more unconventional than the other.
What time was it now, the board meeting started at ten tomorrow morning.
Cole was suddenly holding this press conference; clearly, he wanted him to resign.
Who would dare to hand over a big company to a useless emperor addicted to women? Did thesetwo brothers have no feeling at all now? They still felt quite happy. Mr. Harper, was he really auseless emperor?
However, the next moment, he saw Mr. Harper sitting there, and his expression on his face hadbecome serious at some point.
Nate straightened up a bit. Now, that was more like the usual Mr. Harper. But what the heck was hethinking?
Right now, all the cards were in Presley’s hands. Presley had always had a thing for the Alonsofamily. Rumors were rife that he had planned to hand the Chairmanship to Robin this time.
If he was still a bit hesitant, then the press conference hosted by Cole had pretty much shatteredany doubts he might have had. Presley was utterly disappointed in Damon. It was anyone’s guesshow he was going to keep his chairmanship.
“Mr. Harper, about the meeting tomorrow.” Nate said.
Damon pushed the files in front of him to one side, resting his slender fingers on the edge of thetable. “Although my grandfather’s shares can indeed determine the next chairman, it might be a bittough to get everyone’s approval.
“So, you don’t have to compete for the chairmanship!” A cold voice rang out, and the door toDamon’s office was pushed open.
At the door was Yasmine in a wheelchair. Damon paused, then stood up, asking, “Why are you hereso early?”
As he spoke, he gestured for Nate to prepare some coffee for the guest.
Yasmine rolled to the center of the office and stopped, “I watched Cole’s press conference. He isclearly siding with Robin. Considering your grandpa’s timid nature, unless you agree to marryWendy, you won’t stand a chance against Robin for the chairmanship.”
