Chapter 1446

"What did you say?" Presley asked angrily. "I told you to shut up." Damon's ice-cold gazes glanced at Presley. "You're out of line!" Damon didn't respond. He dragged the files in front of him back towards himself, picked up the pennext to him, and removed the cap. That action made Presley feel both irritated and uneasy. "What are you doing?" "Resigning, as you wish." "Mr. Harper!!" After Damon spoke indifferently, he took the pen and signed his name on the paper withouthesitation, smoothly and without pause. After signing, he calmly replaced the cap, placed the penelegantly on the table, and slowly stood up. His tall figure stood erect, his handsome face seemingly indifferent, but everyone could clearly feelthe coldness and dominance radiating from him. "I'm not fighting for the chairman's position, and I'm willing to give up the CEO's position. I'll satisfyyour wishes, but do not let me hear any more negative comments about Chloe from any of you, or Iwon't let it go easily." Upon hearing this, everyone gasped. Percy sneered, "Damon, do you know who you're talking to? Presley is your grandfather, yourfamily. You're throwing away basic morality for a woman? This would be a laughing stock if it getsout. What kind of spell has that woman cast on you, making you give up the company anddisrespect Presley. Aren't you afraid of karma?" Others chimed in, "Yeah, we all recognize your abilities, but you're really not thinking clearly on this.Presley has watched you grow up for a full twenty-eight years. How long have you known thatwoman? Yet you treat Presley like this for her sake. It's simply outrageous." "I think it's right for you to step down temporarily. You are so easily influenced by a woman, eventreating your own family like this; the company will inevitably run into problems under yourleadership."

... The more Presley listened, the angrier he got. He pointed at Damon, trembling, "You don't believe itwhen one person says it, so listen to what everyone else is saying. Damon, there's a limit to yourstubbornness." "I don't need others to meddle in my affairs, and I certainly don't need others to make decisions forme. I just want to stress one point: don't let me hear any negative comments about Chloe again. I'venever felt that she's done anything wrong, nor do I have any obligation to allow anyone to judge herarbitrarily." As his words fell, Damon's deep gazes swept over everyone in the room, then he saidcoldly again, "Before you discuss, I hope you remember first, Chloe is now my wife." "So what!" Presley shouted, "Without the Harper family and the Harper Group, who do you think youare?!" Damon laughed calmly, "Is that so? Where do you get the confidence to think that the Harper Groupis so crucial to me? That I can't go on without it?" Everyone quieted down. Yes, they all knew very well Damon's abilities; even without the HarperGroup, he wouldn't be left with nothing. "Damon..." Robin, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke, "Your problem now is that you'retoo impulsive. At this time, you should control your temper and not confront Presley. Your abilitiesare good, but if you anger Presley, whether you are in the company or carving out a new path foryourself, it won't be that simple and easy, do you understand? "It's like the alliance marriage with the Alonso family. Being with Ms. Wendy, the future developmentof the Harper Group is self-evident. But now you've hurt her, turned the Alonso family, who shouldhave supported you, into enemies, and also lost the chairman position you should have held. Haveyou ever thought about how much you've lost?" Damon looked at Robin coldly, "Lost? The Alonso family has never been part of the Harper family,I've never had it, so I haven't lost anything. As for the Harper Group..." Damon paused, raised an eyebrow, his eyes filled with indifference and a mocking smile as helooked at Robin. "I'm really looking forward to seeing what the Harper Group will become in your hands. And Robin,

you might have misunderstood some things. I'm giving you the Harper Group now, but that doesn'tmean it will always be in your hands. I have many ways to take it back. "As Chloe said, letting you get it and then lose it is more satisfying than never letting them get it.Enjoy your 'spoils' today...""From your tone, it seems you still have some attachment to the Harper Group..." Robin narrowedhis eyes dangerously. "Not at all." Damon said, "Rather than attachment, I'm more inclined to think about ways to destroyit." Everyone fell silent. Although they knew that Damon had lost his power and status after leaving thecompany, and his words were just bluster, they still couldn't help but feel a sense of fear. They hadnever doubted Damon's words. Destroying the Harper Group, wasn't that a bit too harsh? Percy sneered, "People always say, 'you are who you hang out with.' Ms. Chloe was shamelesslyafter the Alonso family, and now, after just a short while, you're following in her footsteps, aiming todestroy the Harper Group. You've been managing the Harper Group for years. How capable do youthink you are to shake it up?" Presley stared at Damon coldly, "If you want to bring down the Harper Group, you might want totake a hard look at your situation. If you leave the Harper family, do you think the Alonso family willleave you alone? Or do you think I'll just sit back and let you run wild?" The atmosphere in the meeting room dropped to freezing point. Presley, Robin, Percy... almost allmembers of the Harper family were banding together against Damon. Nathan sat on the side, his face ashen. He had faith in Damon's abilities, but to see the entireHarper family ganging up against Damon was hard to swallow. Nathan suddenly stood up. As he was about to speak, Yasmine's voice suddenly rang out. "Damonis my son-in-law, and I certainly won't stand by and watch him be bullied."
