Chapter 1631

Seeing Chloe behaving herself, Elizabeth might have thought it was time to settle the score withDamon. So she said, "Where's Damon? Has he really taken on the role of a sugar baby?"

Chloe pursed her lips and replied, "He's not a sugar baby."

“Then where is he?"

"On a business trip."b2 Elizabeth clicked her tongue. "A sugar baby on business? Did he go abroadto sell his body?"

Chloe pursed her lips again. Was this really his mother? Where did she get the idea that Damonwas inclined to sell his body?

"You're pregnant and he dares to leave you alone at home. When I see him, I'll give him a piece ofmy mind"

Chloe chuckled dryly.

Elizabeth treated Chloe like a porcelain doll, fearing any misstep. Even the short distance from thecar to the apartment was covered with utmost care.

It was as though she wanted to carry Chloe on her shoulders. Her excessive caution made Chloefeel uncomfortable.

Once inside the apartment, Elizabeth inspected each room before guiding Chloe to sit on the couch.She then went upstairs and returned with a Suitcase. Then she grabbed Chloe and was about tohead out.

“Elizabeth..."

“The apartment is too small; it limits our movements. It'd be best to move to Greenfield Village. Theenvironment there is better, and we can take a walk after dinner. Living here is not good for yourbody. That rascal Damon..."

She was about to start ranting about Damon again.

Chloe felt guilty, as if Damon might be in for a scolding when he returned.

Anyway, she had already decided to focus on pregnancy. Compared to this apartment, GreenfieldVillage was indeed a better option.

Elizabeth's decision was final. Without any resistance, Chloe went along with her.

Starlight International was thriving, but Robin currently had no energy to care.

The Harper Group's overseas projects were under attack and he had to focus on the company itself.After all, despite Starlight International's success, it was still leagues behind the Harper Group.

The current situation of the Harper family was making it difficult for him to focus on other matters.

Despite their best efforts to suppress the news, reports from overseas were still trickling in. TheHarper family's ambitions in the European Union region were too significant, and any slightdisturbance would draw too much attention. Trying to permanently suppress the news was simplynot an easy task. The balance in the business world had to be maintained.

A shareholders meeting had sown seeds of doubt and resentment towards Robin among thecompany's staff. The subsequent turbulence deepened their dissatisfaction.

“Ever since Mr. Robin took over, the company has been plagued with problems, hasn't it?"

“It's not just a feeling. It's a fact.

[heard that our former CEO appeared at the shareholders meeting and gave Mr. Robin a goodscare. Everyone says that the plane crash and market crash were orchestrated by Mr. Robin to takeover the Harper family. After the CEO left, didn't the former CEO's shares also fall into his hands?"

“His intentions are clear. He probably didn't expect the owner to suddenly reappear when he wasenjoying the spoils."

“Mr. Robin hasn't made any major moves since taking over, so why is our business in the EUsuddenly suffering such heavy losses? Do you think it might be the former CEO? He hadspecifically said that when he left the Harper Group."

“I once thought the same, but the old man stripped him of his rights as the Harper family's eldestson. How could he stand against the massive Harper family?"

“Then who is targeting the Harper family?"

The company was in a dire state and employee morale was low. Faced with so many doubting eyesand remarks, Robin's temper was on the edge of eruption. "What have you found out?"

In his office, Robin sat in his chair, a stern expression on his face as he asked his assistant.

The assistant, looking terrified, replied, "The other party seems to have no intention of hiding.They've swallowed so much of our business that it's impossible to remain low-key."

"Who is it?"

The assistant paused, his expression hard to read.

"It's Obsidian"

Robin's brow furrowed. He had expected this answer, but it was hard to accept.

Presley had always been wary of Obsidian Group.

Yet despite this, Obsidian Group and the Harper Group had always kept to their own lanes. Thistime, it was clear that they were targeting the Harper family. There was no reason for them tosuddenly pick a fight with the Harper family.

Robin fell into deep thought, his brow furrowed.

“Mr. Robin. Do you think it could be Mr. Damon?"

Before the assistant could finish, Robin shot him a cold glare. "Do you really think he's capable ofthis on his own?"

"Maybe his well-connected friends are helping him"

Robin scoffed, "If he were the type to ask for help, I'd give you my head to play with."

The assistant looked puzzled. “But there are so many coincidences pointing to him:

Robin's expression darkened again. "Has he had any contact with Obsidian?"

The assistant shook his head, "I've looked into it. They have no connections whatsoever. Besides,this time I went to great lengths to hire someone to investigate, but still, I couldn't uncover anythingabout the top brass of the corporation. The secrecy is impenetrable. There's simply no way to get alead.” The assistant's expression grew increasingly serious. This was a level of security he hadnever encountered before.

Robin reached up to rub his temple, leaned back in his chair, and his entire demeanor revealedexhaustion.

The assistant stood at his side, his face pale with worry. "Mr. Robin, what's the next course ofaction? In just a few days, the Harper family's market value has evaporated nearly two percent outof thin air. Plus, there's been a lot of suspicion surrounding you in the company recently. If thiscontinues, the company may very well be like the Alonso family."

"Get out!"

The assistant's words were cut off by this potent command. He looked at Robin in surprise. "Mr.Robin"

He tentatively spoke, but Robin raised his gaze, looking at him with a stern and cold expression."Do you want to say that the Harper family will meet its downfall at my hands?"

The assistant broke into a cold sweat. "No, no, I'm just speculating about the situation"

The office fell into silence for a moment.

"Find a way to arrange a meeting with the person in charge at Obsidian. I want to talk to thempersonally.”
