Chapter 1299
Presley was staring at Chloe, thinking that she seemed a bit off. “What are you doing here?” His face was still dark, his voice cold.
Chloe slightly tugged at the corner of her mouth, standing in front of Presley, calmly looked at him, and slowly said, “Isn’t this what you’ve been expecting?”
Presley narrowed his eyes, staring at her, his deep gaze seemingly trying to see right through her. After a while, he snorted coldly and jerked his chin towards the empty seat across from him. “Sit down.”
Chloe sat down as told, smiling at Presley.
“I hope you didn’t come here for nothing.” Presley stared back at her.
Chloe smiled faintly. “Presley, Damon and I are married, remember?”
Presley frowned tightly. “It seems you’re not here to compromise. You think marrying into the Harper family gives you a free pass?”
Chloe shook her head with a smile, reached for the cup on the table, and poured Presley a glass of water. Then she poured a glass for herself, took a sip, and said, “Presley, I’m not at ease”
She slowly said, “I worry all the time that my husband will be forced to leave me without knowing why.”
She had encountered almost all the weird people and things in this world. Who would worry about their husband leaving them unknowingly? Even at her wedding, the bride–to–be was almost replaced by another woman.
“if you always worry about being left, why not leave yourself?” Presley asked.
Chloe frowned. “Why should I?”
She looked at the old man in confusion, her voice slow and clear, her attitude firm. “Leave so Wendy can take the position of Harper family’s daughter–in–law?”
Hearing this, Presley sneered, “Who do you think is more suitable to be the Harper family’s daughter–in–law?”
Chloe smiled, leaning slightly in her chair. “I am, of course!”
Presley’s mouth twitched. “…You’re shameless.”
Chloe raised an eyebrow, eyes filled with amusement. “Isn’t it up to Damon to decide? Presley, the question now isn’t whether I’m suitable, but…”
Chloe looked up, her smile growing wider. “I am now the daughter–in–law of the Harper family.”
Presley’s face darkened instantly, his patience gradually weating thin.
“What are you really here for?”
Hearing this, Chloe’s smile slowly faded. Her beautiful face gradually lost its warmth, her voice becoming serious.
“I’m here because of the rumors about the Harper family.”
Presley snorted. “According to what you just said, there’s nothing left to discuss. You either leave Damon, or he might lose his position, whether as the chairman or CEO. Don’t you love him? Because of your stubbornness, are you willing to watch Damon lose everything?”
Chloe slowly blinked, picked up the glass of water on the table, took a small sip, then turned to look out the window at the sunny sky, smiling faintly.
“In order to secure the family business, a married man has to marry another family’s daughter… abandoning his wife and replacing her with a rich and beautiful! bride, the heir to the Harper Group, has become a traitor. This headline would certainly draw a lot of attention.”
Presley’s face darkened again, his eyes narrowing. “Are you threatening me?”
Chloe laughed softly, turning back to Presley. “Isn’t it the truth?”
Chloe put the water glass to her lips, then suddenly smiled. “This suggestion does sound… embarrassing.”
“The Harper Group, has to secure its position by marrying into the Alonso family, it seems, the Harper Group is just so–so?”
Presley’s eyebrows furrowed, he paused with the cup in his hand, then slammed it down on the table. “What do you know?!”
With a loud noise, Presley’s deep voice seemed to fill the entire study. “What does the Alonso family have to do with the Harper family? And what does it have to do with you? I raised Wendy, and even if she’s been a bit aggressive lately, it’s because she likes Damon! You claim you like Damon, but what have you done for him? “The Harper family might be okay without the Alonso family, but if the Alonso family becomes our enemy, do you know how much effort the Harper family will have to put in? With that effort, I could do a lot more. Have you ever considered the trouble you’ve caused the Harper family?”
After Presley finished his rant, Chloe’s expression didn’t change.
Seeing her unmoved, Presley’s chest ached with anger. “I haven’t done anything for Damon, but if I agree to leave him, it will definitely hurt him.”
Chloe gently put the cup on the table, then calmly said, “As for whether I’ve burdened the Harper family…” Chloe suddenly sneered. “It’s just the Alonso family, I can cause its destruction if I want to! Tell me, the future head of the Alonso family you watched grow up, what kind of person is she?
if the Alonso family ended up in Wendy’s hands, their downfall is just in a matter of time. The Alonso family would let Wendy tarnish their reputation over and over again without stepping in, not even taking a stand with the Harper family, for what reason?
“If Wendy doesn’t marry into the Harper family, who’s gonna help her secure the foundation of the Alonso family?
“A shaky family like that, and you’re scared, Presley? I really doubt it. If it weren’t for the Harper family’s vast and stable business, would the Harper Group have already collapsed in your hands?”
The chairman of the Harper Group was supposed to be a king of the business world, but his mind was so narrow. He couldn’t even take criticism.
“You… you’re totally out of line!”
Being questioned by a naive little girl about his capabilities seriously hurt his dignity What she was implying was that if it weren’t for the Harper family’s massive business, he probably wouldn’t be able to handle his own extravagant spending?
Being an adult but having not achieved anything, would make anyone feel angry and ashamed.
Chloe raised an eyebrow. “I’m here today because you wanted to see me, so here I am. The real agenda of this meeting is, whether you admit it or not, I am Mrs.
Harper! This is a fact that will never change. So, I sincerely hope that at the shareholders‘ meeting, you’ll support Damon.”
Since she was here, it would be a waste not to fight for it.
“Of course, if you choose not to support us in the end, that’s okay too. Damon and I won’t starve to death!”
