When it came to psychological battles, Yasmine was no pushover.

Robin's ability to endure for so many years demonstrated the depth of his mental fortitude. But ashumans, we all had our weaknesses. Furthermore, Robin's intentions were clear as day. Taking himdown wasn't going to be a difficult task.

The old man's silence, coupled with the subtle signs of unease emanating from Robin, brought afaint smile to Yasmine's eyes. "Shall we wrap this up?

The Global Economic Summit is about to start. I don't mind Mr. Presley and Mr. Robin attending asrepresentatives. But as for the share distribution, I think we can leave it for another day."

As she spoke, she started to wheel herself away. However, a loud "bang"

sounded from behind her as Robin slammed his hand on the table.b2 All eyes turned to him.

"Since when did you start making the decisions for the corporation?"

Yasmine had her back turned to him at that moment, and upon hearing his words, a wry smiletugged at the corner of her lips. Turning around, she smiled and said, "It seems like you're reallydetermined to get your brother's shares today, aren't you?"

Robin scoffed, “And what if I am?"

The old man's face darkened slightly.

Robin continued, "Damon is now completely focused on your darling daughter, and Nathan, asusual, couldn't care less about the company. Since he has his older brother to rely on, he's been

living like a spoiled brat. If not me, who else is worthy of these shares?"

Yasmine chuckled, "So it sounds like you're the only one left. All those more competent than youhave been kicked out of the company, and those meant to die have died. So the shares can only goto you."

Her words were certainly thought-provoking.

"You're talking nonsense!” The previously silent Presley suddenly shouted, his cane thumping loudlyon the floor.

Yasmine's words were a thinly veiled accusation. Robin had killed his own brother and sister-in-law,and kicked his nephews while they were down, all for the sake of gaining power. He refused tobelieve his son was capable of such terrible deeds.

Everyone's heads lowered even more.

Yasmine's claims were audacious and baseless. No one would be happy hearing such accusations.Furthermore, Robin's position as chairman was handed to him by Presley himself in front ofeveryone. If Yasmine's claims were true, then had he been manipulated by his own son?

In the end, without evidence, all this talk was pointless.

However, Yasmine didn't seem like the type to throw baseless accusations. If she was telling thetruth, then... Though everyone kept their heads down, they exchanged meaningful glances.

The meeting room was very quiet, and the old man's somewhat heavy voice, which carried a tingeof anger, sounded especially distinct.

“Robin is now the chairman of the Harper family. He has the right to distribute the company'sshares. This matter is settled. Meeting dismissed."

“So you're saying, this shareholders’ meeting was just a way for you two to announce the decision,and we're just here for decoration?" Yasmine's voice was cold.

Presley halted, choosing to be upfront. "What? Do you expect us to distribute our family's shares toyou unconditionally?"

A few shareholders raised their eyebrows. There was no such thing as a free lunch.

“I'm not asking for handouts,’ she paused, and looked up at the old man with a smirk. "Royce, yourtrusted son of many years, is now missing and presumed dead. Yet you can calmly accept hispresumed death and even attend this shareholders’ meeting to distribute his shares. How are youable to do that?"

Presley's face tightened, his gaze on Yasmine was full of animosity.

"That was the life he chose.” He yelled, his voice tinged with rage and resentment.

“I spent years grooming him, only for him to throw it all away for a worthless woman. If it weren't forhis insistence on marrying that woman, if he hadn't been so indulgent with her, he wouldn't have leftwith her. She's the one who led him to his death, along with his stubbornness. If he had listened tome, his life wouldn't have ended up so pitiful. He chose this path. He brought this upon himself."

Yasmine shook her head, her tips pressed into a thin line. She chose not to respond. She left therest of the conversation to another person.

"The path was my choice, the woman was my choice, and whether I live or die doesn't concern yougreatly"

The door to the meeting room suddenly opened, and a calm, indifferent voice echoed throughoutthe room. Everyone looked up in surprise, their expressions a mix of shock and elation when theysaw who had entered the room.

Presley froze, relief and joy visible in his eyes as he looked at Royce, who had just walked in.

Robin abruptly stood up again, his usually calm and gentle face filled with emotions. Outrageprovoked by Yasmine aside, he was now faced with Royce, who should have been dead but wasstanding there unscathed.

The plane had been completely destroyed, and none of the crew survived.

Even though they hadn't found his and Yasmine's bodies at the time, given the severity of the crash,he never doubted that they could have survived.

The only possibility was...

He couldn't continue that thought. Because that possibility, added to his guilt, made it impossible forhim to remain calm.

“Royce, how..."

"How am I still alive?” Royce's expression was placid, and his tone flat. It was hard to tell what hewas thinking at the moment, but the more it was like this, the more it made Robin feel uneasy.

Despite his years of restraint, Robin couldn't hide his emotions. His expression changed slightly,and the hand he had on the table clenched into a fist. "It's... It's good that you're all right."

Royce didn't spare him another glance. He turned to the elderly man, his expression as calm asever. "If life and death mean nothing to you, and you're utterly disappointed in me, then me goingback to the Harper family would only be a thorn in your side. In fact, whether I have those shares ornot doesn't matter to me."

He paused, shifting his gaze to Robin. "Speak up about what you want and what you cherish. Asyour older brother, I may very well satisfy your wish. If you want the shares, take them all. Look out

for our father in the future, will you? If any issues arise, don't hesitate to contact me”
