Chapter 1371
“But what about the feelings of the two people involved? Everyone knows that President Harper’s heart belongs to
Ms. Summers from Starlight International!”
“You announced a board meeting right after the engagement ceremony, trying to use your position as the
chairman to force President Harper to compromise. So you only care about the long–term development of the
company and are willing to sacrifice your grandson’s love life for it, right?”
Presley clenched his cane tightly, his face gloomy.
Wendy, standing next to him, was almost bursting with anger, but she had to maintain her composure as the missy
of the Alonso family. She took half a step forward, facing the reporters with a calm demeanor, “I’d like to ask the
reporter who just asked the question, what do you mean by sacrificing love? I grew up with Damon. I believe that
no woman in the world knows him better than I do! I’ve admired him and liked him since I was a kid. My feelings for
him are pure and unadulterated!
“Whether it’s because of the friendship between our two families for many years, or my use of my status as the
Alonso family’s daughter to push for this marriage, I believe I am the best woman for him in the world, and the
most qualified to stand by his side! I believe everyone is aware that in families like ours, we only demand an equal
match! May I ask you all, who else is more suitable and equal to the Harper family than the Alonso family? Although
I’m being blunt, this is the fact, isn’t it? What’s more…”
With a sneer in her heart, Wendy held her head high and chest out, full of confidence, “The Alonso family will
definitely make even greater progress in the future, and our support for the Harper family will only increase! Isn’t
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthat enough? Or is there someone who can bring more to the Harper family than I can?”
Everyone kept quiet. Though her words were arrogant, they seemed to make sense.
But her attitude was really off–putting. So, she claimed that in the world, only she was worthy of Damon, and no
one else was qualified? People without her background didn’t deserve love?
“So Ms. Wendy, are you saying that Chloe’s family background is not as good as yours, so she is not qualified to
marry President Harper? But Ms. Summers is the woman that President Harper likes. His attitude towards you is
also very clear. Why do you insist?”
“Because I believe that Damon is just momentarily blinded. With time, he will understand who the right woman for
him is. I will give him time to reflect because I believe that this wait is worthwhile!” Wendy said.
The reporters on the scene couldn’t help but bite their lips, discussing in hushed voices.
“She’s really full of confidence!”
“I really don’t understand who gave her the courage to say such things!”
“That’s the Alonso family for you!”
“Ha–ha! I know, but are you trying to make me die of laughter?”
However, their words did not fully reach Presley and Wendy’s ears. Presley was quite satisfied with Wendy’s words
just now. Firstly, she accepted the fact of the union between the Alonso family and the Harper family. Secondly, this
was exactly the perception and aura a lady of the Alonso family should have.
This was the fact, and there was no need to hide it!
Seeing Wendy helping Presley enter the Harper Group building, a sneer suddenly sounded from a seemingly
ordinary car parked not far away.
“What a shameless woman.” Chloe said..
Chloe sat in the driver’s seat, looking in the direction of the Harper Group’s entrance, her face always showing a
hint of indifference but filled with a sarcastic expression.
Alyssa looked in Chloe’s direction and asked, “How can you stay so calm?”
“What’s the point? Grandfather is over there. If I go, I’ll just be humiliated.” Chloe said,
With so many media present, she didn’t think that if she and Wendy fought, her grandfather would stand on her
side.
Alyssa looked at Chloe’s back with a thoughtful smile on her face and said, “If that stubborn old man really gives his
shares to Robin today, then it’s only a matter of time before Damon is kicked out of the Harper family. Why do you
seem so calm and not worried at all?”
Chloe started the car and drove to the underground garage.
“Didn’t I invite you here?” Chloe asked.
“You trust me that much? I’m not sure I can change his decision, and maybe if I annoy him, he’ll give his shares to
Robin in a fit of anger.” Alyssa said.
Chloe laughed, “It’s always better to be prepared.”
At two o’clock in the afternoon.
The Harper Group’s executive meeting room was filled with shareholders, all looking dapper in suits. When Wendy
helped Presley in, all the shareholders in the company stood up to greet him.
Presley nodded lightly. Robin stood up and helped Wendy to seat Presley at the head of the table.
The old man looked around the conference room, his face suddenly turned cold. “Where’s Damon?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“He hasn’t arrived yet. Robin replied with a light smile.
Not only Presley, but everyone in the conference room looked displeased.
Damon was working on a major project, which was at a critical stage. If Presley really handed over the chairman’s
position to Robin at this time, this project might
not be able to continue.
The loss from a halfway terminated project would be hard to calculate. What was supposed to be a big–money
project now might turn into a huge money pit, and the shareholders weren’t exactly thrilled.
Plus, after all these years with Damon at the helm, they knew exactly what was it with the company, barely lifting a
finger and still raking in the dough every year. Would anyone else be able to pull that off?
The old man’s agenda for this meeting was a bit too pushy, even dragging in Wendy, making his intentions crystal
clear.
It was enough to make people’s skin crawl.
Wasn’t this just forcing them to face the reality?
With all the crap Wendy had been stirring up lately, it was really not smart for Presley to act this way!
Damon still hadn’t shown up in the conference room, did that mean he was not taking the old man’s bullying and
bowing out of this “competition“?
Wendy was gnashing her teeth in secret, getting antsy about Damon not showing up on time.
She had come this far, but if Damon didn’t even show up for the board meeting, what was the point of everything
she had done?
How could he possibly give up the whole Harper Group just for Chloe?!
