The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride Chapter 1292

Chapter 1292 

Presley squinted at Royce, trying to peer directly into his true thoughts. 

He didn’t believe that even if Royce had the ability to give up the Harper family’s inheritance back in the day, didn’t mean Royce could accept seeing his own son making the same choice. 

“All these years, Damon has put all his time and energy into the Harper family’s company. The company has been progressing under his leadership, and everyone can see that. He’s a natural–born leader who needs the Harper environment to grow. Royce, as his father, don’t you feel a bit regretful?” 

Presley smiled. How could Royce not feel regretful? He was just playing mind games with himself. He thought that as long as they acted indifferent, he would’ve believed that this matter posed no threat to Damon, thus giving up on forcing Damon to compromise in this way. 

However, Royce simply smiled. “The company is moving forward under his leadership, you also think he’s a natural–born leader, a manager, and you know he’s contributed a lot. He has both merits and sacrifices, you, as his grandfather, know him so well, yet still use these things to threaten him. Don’t you think it’s too much?” 

I’m doing this for the company’s benefit!” 

Presley had always known that Royce was clear–headed and logical. As soon as he spoke, he understood that he was refuting him with the same reasons. “Do you want him to be like you, making irrational decisións for a woman?! Listening to a woman every day. The company will be ruined sooner or later!” Elizabeth’s eyelids twitched; she wanted to argue with Presley right away. Was he implying that she was saying things to Royce every day to destroy the company? Was she mad, hoping that her husband’s company went bankrupt every day?! 

This old man was insane! What was going on in his head, it was so messed up!? 

She couldn’t help but want to blow up, but then she saw Addie holding a coffee pot, standing not far away secretly observing the situation in the living room. She immediately felt a rush of anger. She hadn’t settled the score with Addie yet. She’d been tolerating her for a long time! 

“Having fun?” Elizabeth looked at Addie and asked coldly. 

Because of Elizabeth’s sudden words, the two men on the sofa slowly looked at Addie. 

Addie’s face changed, but she maintained a stiff smile, then stepped forward, and poured two cups of coffee. She first pushed one to Presley, then handed one to Royce and Elizabeth. 

However, when she handed it to Elizabeth, Elizabeth blocked her movement. Addie was startled, looked up at Elizabeth, and smiled slightly. “Don’t you like coffee?” Elizabeth raised an eyebrow. “Are you asking me?” 

Addie was a bit confused. 

“Aren’t you always trying to compete for the position of the house manager with Marina? You don’t even know the preferences of the master. What qualifications do you have to compete with Marina?” 

Addie bit her lip and her face turned a shade of embarrassing red. She glanced awkwardly at Presley. 

Presley frowned, his voice cold. “Do you only know how to cause trouble at home?” 

Elizabeth suddenly stood up from the sofa. “How I guide the servants to do their work is my business, just like I don’t interfere in your company discussions. I hope you’ll respect me! Addie, because of your favoritism, doesn’t take her work seriously, thinks highly of herself, and treats our family recklessly! 

“How many times has she meddled in things she shouldn’t have? In the past, I didn’t tell you about these things because of your favor for her. I tolerated it once or twice, but I can’t always be so forgiving. 

“I have to report to her wherever I go. And she has an opinion about whoever Damon wants to date. Anyone who doesn’t know better would think she’s the mistress 

of the house! 

“But is she? The first time she came to P City, she caused trouble for me, claiming to be a servant in front of me. What does that mean, am I oppressing her? 

“Why should I tolerate her? Anyway, I’m the mistress of the Harper family, when did the mistress of the Harper family become so weak, having to look at the face of a servant for everything.” 

Presley’s face was extremely ugly, being angered by Elizabeth’s words. 

“Who told you to look at the servant’s face?” Even if he didn’t like Addie, she was now widely known as the mistress of the Harper family. If people knew that the mistress of the Harper family had to look at the face of a servant for everything at home, wouldn’t that be a huge joke? 

“But Addie relies on your ‘favor in the Harper family, acts recklessly, and no one dares to offend her! I just scolded her a bit, and you started giving me a piece of your mind. Isn’t this boosting her morale? You can ask the servants at home, do they listen to me more, or to Addie more! If you now admit that Addie is the mistress of the house, and even above me, then… ha, I’ll tell Alyssa your thoughts for you, so she can willingly give Addie her position.” 

Addie turned pale with fright. “Mrs. Harper, this…” 

Presley’s face darkened again. “You’re out of line! What nonsense are you talking about!?” 

“Am I talking nonsense? Wasn’t she the one managing the household for all these years when Alyssa wasn’t by your side? Plus with your favoritism towards her, it all points to that, doesn’t it?” Elizabeth was fearless, as if she was deliberately provoking Presley’s anger. 

He was also so angry that he suddenly stood up. “Shut up!” 

Elizabeth frowned and said, “Judging by your anger, I must’ve misunderstood you. Now that everything’s out in the open, I just want to hear you out. Do I have the right to manage the frousehold staff or not?” 

Presley’s face went through a rainbow of colors, green, white, red Her words threw him off balance. But if he meddled now, wouldn’t that be admitting to some shady dealings with Addie? 

“I don’t need to see it.” 

Everyone heard that loud and clear. She was free to scold as much as she wanted, but could she stop waving around in front of him? 

Elizabeth smiled and said, “Alright, I’m not interested in whatever you guys are discussing.” 

Standing on the side, Addie turned pale as a ghost, nearly tripping over her own feet. Looking up at Elizabeth who was smirking, she suddenly felt a chill running 

down her spine.
