Chapter 1610

In the grand Harper mansion, Robin showed Presley all the news from Chloe’s press conferencetoday. Presley watched silently, not uttering a single word. After a lengthy silence, Robin finallyspoke. “Dad, it’s hard to say this, but we have to face the reality. We haven’t heard from Royce orElizabeth in ages. It’s time to accept the situation.”

Presley, his eyebrows trembling slightly, replied in a heavy voice. “We haven’t replace them, andwhether they are alive or dead, I need to see them…”

“The Harper empire is in my hands, but the real power has never been. You saw the news, even awoman like her can mock us. Dad, to outsiders, I, the CEO, am nothing more than a joke.”

Presley furrowed his brows. “Who dares to laugh at you?”

Robin snorted, but said nothing. The answer was clear. Wasn’t it all over the news?c2

They fell into a silence. After a long while, it was Presley who broke the silence. “I’ve given you myshares. What else do you want?”

“I believe you have the authority to decide what happens to Damon’s shares.”

Presley’s face turned ashen. “You already have the most shares in the company!”

“If Damon really wants to come back, don’t you think I’ll be forced to step down as CEO? I mayhave a lot of shares, but everyone knows you only gave them to me to threaten Damon. If hereturns, the Board of Directors might use this as an excuse to remove me…

Presley’s breathing became harsh. “What did you say?! You’re not getting any younger. Even if youdo take over the company, how many more years can you manage it? Travis, who was always more

interested in the military, has risen through the ranks rapidly. Even if you got the company, youwouldn’t have a successor! Why are you so fixated on the company?!”

Robin’s only son, Travis, had built an impressive military career in the B city of. He had never reliedon the Harper family and had been constantly promoted for his integrity and natural talent as asoldier.

Presley knew that Travis had no intention or necessity to fight for the company’s rights, which is whyhe had been willing to put the company’s shares in Robins hands.

At his age, he should have been trying to secure something for his son. But Travis didn’t need anyof this, so why was he still fighting?

“What do you mean he was always more interested in the military?” Robin scoffed, “If you hadn’tfavored Damon from the start, grooming him to be the Harper heir, would Travis have had to replaceanother path?” His words were calm, but they were filled with bitterness and sarcasm.

Presley glared at him, his anger palpable. “And then what?” He struggled to steady his breathing.“What do you want the company for? Do you want Travis to abandon the military and go intobusiness?!”

Robin closed his eyes, regretting his emotional outburst“…I just wanted to fight for some respect.”

He composed himself, took a deep breath, and his tone softened with resignation. “Dad, I shareyour vision. I’m willing to give up everything have for the Harper Group. Both Damon and Chloehave disappointed you, haven’t they? Besides, you know Damon’s temperament. He oncethreatened to destroy the Harper family. He wasn’t joking. Projects in Asia and Europe haveencountered problems. Although they were small–scale, the total losses amounted to nearly threepercent of the group’s assets. His promise to ruin the company doesn’t seem like empty words. If he

effortlessly regains his shares in the company, he might actually destroy the Harper family. Are youstill comfortable handing the company back to him?”

Presley closed his eyes, weariness seeping into his voice. He understood Damon’s temperamentwell. Once he committed to something, he would see it through. He had taught him the importanceof keeping his word, and Damon had always excelled at it.

But the threat to destroy the Harper Group was shocking, infuriating, and incomprehensible.Hearing Robin’s words now, he was in disbelief “You’re saying he’s actually acted against theHarper Group?”

Robin nodded, his tone steady. “If you don’t believe me, I can have the secretary bring over thecompany’s recent reports right now.”

Presley raised a hand to stop him, shaking his head in disbelief. “That’s not possible”

Everyone knew about the recent upheaval at the corporation. The Chairman had been ousted, andhe’d also stepped down as the CEO of Harper Group Damon had practically tossed power asidewithout a second glance.

“He doesn’t have the power to go against the Harpers now. A three percent loss it’s simplyunfeasible!” The more Presley spoke, the more convinced he became, his tone resolute

“But that’s the reality I can’t fudge the official accounts for the company Damon may not have thecapability, but that doesn’t mean Ms. Summers, who is with him, doesn’t Ms Summers, the soleheiress of the Y Country, an internationally renowned perfumer and entrepreneur. If she really wantsto go against the Harpers, it’s not entirely impossible After all, this woman is known for her audacity,and there’s nothing she wouldn’t dare to do Damon insists he won’t rely on Summers, but if not her,who else could he turn to in his fight against the Harpers?”

The old man was filled with unease The fact that Chloe was the princess of Y Country had alwaysbeen a sticking point for him.

Her status as a princess had indeed granted her many conveniences. But at this point, there was noturning back for him.
