"So what? Are you trying to get your hands on the Harper family?"
A gloomy voice from Robin resonated in the room, as his impending share ownership wasinterrupted by Yasmine's words. Not to mention her remarks were all laced with sarcasm, making itimpossible for the old man to talk about the shares.
Attacking his grandson when he was down was enough to shake him. How could he possibly feel atease?
"Just speaking some truth. Although I hate to admit it, my daughter is the future lady of the Harperfamily. We have to keep accounts clear"b2 Robin sneered, "So you and your daughter are planningon the Harper family again?"
Yasmine raised an eyebrow, "Not interested, just depends on my mood."
Presley huffed coldly. “Arrogant! Delusional! Absolutely ridiculous!"
Yasmine glanced at him indifferently, her lips curled in a cold smile. "It seems like some people stillhaven't learned their lesson."
The old man instantly understood what she meant, his face turned a terrible pale. "This GlobalEconomic Summit will be attended by Mr. Robin and I personally. As for the company's idle shares,they will be fully managed by Robin.’ He roared angrily, his gaze fixed on Yasmine.
However, Yasmine's sarcasm only grew thicker, her demeanor nonchalant.
"So it's true that Royce and Elizabeth are dead?"
Robin smiled at the old man's words. "It’s settled."
"Hmm, Yasmine chuckled, "So confident?"
"None of the crew members survived. I naturally wouldn't want anything happen to them, but thereality is so cruel. No matter how lucky they were, they probably couldn't escape this disaster."
Yasmine softly brushed the blanket on her lap. "Has the cause of the plane crash been announced?The reporters are keeping an eye on it, right? And, shouldn't the shareholders here get an answer?"
Robin paused, “The maintenance was not up to par, and there were also issues with the engine oil"
"Well, poor maintenance, causing the entire crew to lose their lives. They don't take other people'slives seriously, and they don't take their own lives seriously either. In this day and age, having anaircraft that doesn't meet safety standards is an enormous joke."
Yasmine mocked, "As soon as Royce and his wife had an accident, Mr. Robin became the newchairman of the Harper Group. Now, the shares are also about to become yours? Royce still had histwo sons, and they are both directors and shareholders. As their uncle, have you thought about howyou're going to treat them?"
"They're all Harpers. The Harper family is their home, and how could I mistreat them?!"
Yasmine smirked, "If you won't mistreat them, then it's a good time to make a statement today."
Robin's face darkened, "Yasmine, this is a shareholders’ meeting, not your personal stage. Why areyou so confrontational and sarcastic?"
“There are many reasons, but recently, my daughter has clearly been pushed into the limelight,enduring all kinds of slurs and insults, and for this, I have to hald you responsible” Her expressionwas as calm as water yet righteous as she spoke.
Robin paused. “Hold me responsible?" Robin laughed softly, "Ms. Summers is ambitious, covetingothers’ belongings, and making them her own. What am I to her, to always bear the responsibilityfor her accumulated mistakes?"
“Absolutely nothing.” Yasmine scoffed, "Even ‘accidental deaths’ can happen to your own brother.How dangerous it must be to be close to you?"
Robin's forehead twitched, his eyes flashing a fierce gaze. "Yasmine, what do you mean by that?"The sinister tone made everyone in the room shiver, a chill crawling up their spines. Even the oldman, who was by his side, had never seen Robin radiate such a chilling aura.
"Mr. Robin knows what I mean." Yasmine laughed lightly, "I always thought Mr. Robin was a prudentman, but it seems not. If you want to gain full control of the Harper family, fair competition is fine.You are all Harpers after all, and the old man can't be that biased. The best should prevail, no needfor underhanded tricks. Mr. Robin, perhaps you know your own abilities, and realize you may not bethe most suited.’
"Yasmine!"
What followed was an unexpected roar from Robin, making the meeting room tense to the extreme.Everyone couldn't help but tense up, their faces slightly pale, and they dared not even breathe.However, Yasmine, as the person directly involved, remained seated there, unfazed and unruffled,still wearing a calm smile. "Can I take Mr. Robin's reaction as embarrassment into anger?"
“The Harper family's internal affairs don't need an outsider like you to interfere. This is a normalcompany decision-making issue; the shareholders"
meeting is not a place for you to make baseless comments. If you have objections, you can raisethem, but anything unrelated to the company's decisions..."
“Speaking so much, doesn't it just prove that I object to you? I disagree with distributing Royce'sshares to you."
Robin fell silent for a few seconds, realizing how emotional he had become.
His expression changed slightly, and he bent down to sit, his gaze sweeping across the entiremeeting room before he managed to force a smile. “Sure, you can disagree, what about theothers?"
The crowd held their tongues, turning their heads towards Presley, some faces showing a hint ofsarcasm.
Their disagreement was useless, right? The final decision still lay with the old man. If their opinionstruly mattered, then the initial dismissal of the executive director, and even directly appointing Robinas the chairman of the Group, wouldn't have happened.
Presley looked at Yasmine sternly, "What did you mean by what you just said? What are theseunderhanded tricks?"
The smile in Robin's eyes subtly diminished, but he simply sat there, exuding an air of indifference,giving everyone a sense that no matter what they said, he was guilt-free and had no need to defendhimself.
“If you don't even understand your own son, that's truly terrifying.” Yasmine didn't add anything else.
Given Robin's “innocent until proven guilty” demeanor, she took on an even stronger "none of mybusiness" attitude.
When it came to indifference, how could Robin be more at ease than her?
After all, the person with a guilty conscience knew it best.
Yasmine's nonchalant attitude planted a seed of doubt in everyone's mind.
She didn't have to say anything, but something had already taken shape in everyone's minds.
Indeed, Presley's momentary silence caused Robin's calm facade to crumble.
