Chapter 1416
The news was everywhere, and naturally, the Harper family caught wind of it. Presley heaved a sigh and switched off the TV. Meanwhile, Robin was fixated on the news online, his gaze intense. He was reminiscing about the private discussion he had with Cole and Wendy before they left.
If he was willing, the Alonso family was ready to back him up fully to become the Chairman of the Harper Group.
Was he willing? Ha, they were no greenhorns. How could Cole not know his thoughts?
Although the Alonso family was in a pickle right now, their ties with the royal family of Y Country could probably help them weather the storm. If the Alonso family could support him, it would be the icing on the cake.
After mulling it over, Robin got up and left for the Harper family’s house.
Upon seeing Presley, Robin cut to the chase, “Dad, I reckon, I should be the next Chairman of the Harper Group.”
Having been through thick and thin, Presley had no particular reaction to Robin’s declaration. He simply looked at him with sharp, cold eyes. “After all these years of biding your time, you finally can’t hold back anymore, huh?”
Robin slowly sat down, calmly saying, “Isn’t it normal for me to have such thoughts? When you handed over the entirety of the Harper Group to Damon, who had just come of age, I managed to hold back my feelings, which was beyond my own imagination. I held back for more than a decade. The reason is clear, I couldn’t find fault with Damon. He has always managed the Harper family well.
“But that was on the premise that he was wholly committed to the Harper Group, with no distractions. But now, things are different. You know it, he’s just like his father, Royce, going against the principle you’ve taught since he was young. They’re smitten by women, and they’re obsessed. You were right, once a man is infatuated with a woman, he can easily be fooled. Damon is no longer fit to be a competent family head, isn’t he?
“Are you comfortable entrusting the vast Harper family to a fickle–minded person?
“If Damon was still the Damon of the past, I wouldn’t have come to you today. So, dad, all my intentions are for the good of the Harper family.” Robin’s long speech was met with Presley’s prolonged silence,
“Damon has made his stance clear, hasn’t he? For that woman, he’s willing to step down from the position of CEO of the Harper family. Do you still have any expectations for him?
“Moreover, because of his obsession with that woman and his torment of Ms. Wendy, the Alonso family has completely lost hope in him. Cole also stated that for the long–term cooperation between the Harper family and the Alonso family, he would rather have me take the position of Chairman of the Harper Group.
Presley frowned and looked up at Robin. “You’ve been meeting the Alonso family behind my back?”
Robin replied with a hint of sarcasm, “Are we not allowed to meet now?” Since when had it become so difficult for him to meet with the Alonso family?
Recalling the recent news report, Presley fell silent again. He still had hopes for Damon, but even if Damon were to become the Chairman of the Harper Group in the future, he had already seriously offended the Alonso family. If Robin and the Alonso family joined forces against Damon, the Harper family would inevitably be affected to some extent. He didn’t dare to imagine the consequences.
Robin knew that Presley was starting to waver, so he continued, “Everything I’ve done is for the benefit of the Harper family, you can fully trust me on this. If you trust me, I can give the order now, and in three days, we’ll reconvene the board meeting.”
Presley squinted and let out a long sigh. “I need to speak to the Alonso family personally about their stance.”
Robin smirked, his tone laced with mockery. “Cole is currently in Y Country preparing for the state banquet, so we can discuss this further at the board meeting.”
“You sure are persistent, enduring all these years. Even if the Harper family ends up in your hands, how long do you think you can hold on to the position of Chairman?”
A familiar voice sounded from outside the door, and soon, Damon’s figure appeared in the doorway.
Presley didn’t want to see this grandson who had disappointed him time and time again at this moment. He coldly glanced at him. “What are you doing here?”
“If I didn’t show up, wouldn’t the Harper family just fall into someone else’s hands?”
Robin remained silent, his face tense.
“Do you still have anything to do with the Harper family? Do you need to worry about whose hands it falls into?” Presley sneered coldly.
Damon slightly lifted the corners of his mouth. “I haven’t handed in my resignation.
He then turned his gaze to Robin. “I remember I told you before, that if you want the Harper family, I may not necessarily give it to you.”
Robin chuckled, but his voice was icy. “Damon, ask yourself, when you pissed off the Alonso family for a woman, what right do you have to manage the Harper family?”
“What’s the connection between the two?”
“Wendy must loathe you by now. She’s the future head of the Alonso family. Do you think she’s just going to sit back and watch you and your woman flaunting your affection? She’ll come after you, and the Harper family too. You say you can handle all the attacks, but the Harper family isn’t just yours. Better to move forward than let the Harper family take a big hit from the Alonso family, right?”
Damon raised an eyebrow. “Your view of the Alonso family, I must say, is impressive.”
Presley grunted heavily, full of rage. “How many times have I told you? The Alonso family isn’t just the Alonso family. They have the royal family of Y Country backing them, you know that?”
Damon nonchalantly put his hands in the pockets of his black coat. He’d been standing still since he walked in. When he heard Presley’s words, a slight smile appeared on his calm face
“So what if it’s the royal family of Y Country?”
“What did you say?!” Presley roared again.
The familiar arrogance and indifference were almost enough to set Presley off.
Presley had heard Chloe say these words too many times. That woman was truly terrifying!
at woman You have no idea what
“Look at what you’ve become being with that woman. You have no idea what you’re doing. Your arrogance is unbelievable!”
Chloe never took the Alonso family or the Harper family seriously. Damon was even worse. He didn’t even take the royal family of Y Country seriously!
Presley was so angry he was having trouble breathing. James was a bit worried on the side. “Mr. Presley, please, you need to consider your health.”
Presley forced himself to calm down and finally said-
“In three days, reconvene the board meeting!”
His tone was firm, leaving no room for doubt, like the final hammer blow!
