Chapter 1605

The two briefly separated, with Damon pecking at her, his low and enticing voice gently echoing into the air.

*So tell me, what was all that ruckus about yesterday?”

Chloe, clinging to Damon, tried to steady her erratic breathing.

“I… I just set a trap for him.”

“What?“c2

“Well, he’s been after me anyway, so I can’t just stand there and let him hit me head–on. I think he’s been struggling to find a way to deal with me, so I thought I’d help him out.”

Damon raised an eyebrow, “So, you purposely confronted Addie at the Harper Mansion and disclosed your plans to the press in public? All part of your scheme?”

Chloe nodded affirmatively. Damon, noting her discomfort, held her and led her to the living room couch.

Upon sinking into the soft couch. Chloe found a comfortable position and continued. “Robin, he wants to uphold loyalty and righteousness. He clearly wants to target you and me, but he hesitates, all in an attempt to maintain a virtuous image in public. I’m just giving him the opportunity he’s been looking for. Otherwise, knowing that there are people out there waiting to pounce, it’s nerve– racking…”

Chloe sighed, her expression twisted with frustration, “Robin is too cautious, always hesitating, and it’s driving me crazy…”

At this, Damon chuckled, “Is that all?”

Chloe grinned, “Just the beginning.”

“However, at yesterday’s press conference, Robin didn’t mention anything you expected him to.”

“I guess he’s thinking of catching me red–handed?”

Damon fell silent for a moment. “You are repeatedly challenging my grandfather and Robin publicly. You’re determined to drag yourself into this. huh?”

The smile on Chloe’s face gradually faded, replaced by a serious expression. “I want to help you. There are things that you can’t do, but I can.”

After a moment of thought, she added, “You’ve poured so much time and effort into the Harper family. We can’t just abandon it. If you want to fight, Robin won’t outdo you…”

“It’s too late.” Damon cut her off with an indifferent tone.

Chloe was taken aback. “What’s too late?”

Damon chuckled before leaning in to peck her lips. “It’s no loss if the Harper family falls. As he spoke, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

Chloe fell silent. Indeed, the current situation of the Harper family was far from optimistic. Apart from the minor market turbulence caused by Addie’s press conference yesterday, the Harper Group’s business in Asia and the EU had been repeatedly hindered since a few days ago.

Projects under development were halted, completed projects could not open as scheduled, and even ongoing projects were being snatched up by competitors The Harper family’s business scope was extensive, and these incidents, though minor, were distressing for them.

Robin initially didn’t pay much attention. After all, he had just taken over the Harper family, and there were countless issues within the company. He simply assumed these incidents were par for the course. No one could achieve perfection, and business was no different. No one could guarantee a 100% success rate

Moreover, these were minor business branches, and while managing such a large company, he didn’t have the time to worry about these inconsequential issues However, if they kept occurring, he had no choice but to pay attention.

Such problems arose just after he assumed control, and if word got out, it would certainly affect his reputation. So he kept these issues under

wraps

He had estimated that just the losses incurred by these minor projects getting halted and targeted, amounted to 3% of the Harper Group’s total

assets

What did 3% represent? it might have sounded insignificant, but when calculated against the Harper Group’s total assets, it was not a figure to be

scoffed at

So he had been investigating the matter, but whoever was pressuring the Harper family’s projects was very discreet. They knew someone was targeting them, but couldn’t identify who After much thought and considering the timeline of when the projects started having issues, he could only point the finger at Damon. And with Damon now detached from the Harper family, the only person who could help him was the currently high–profile Chloe

The Global Economic Summit was looming, and in the coming months, he couldn’t allow Chloe to overshadow him, nor could he afford to see the Harper family’s total assets decrease during his short tenure compared to Damon’s

If we were talking about pressure, indeed. Robin was under a lot of it. Hence, dealing with Chloe was inevitable for him. For now, he wouldn’t let the media expose the issues with the overseas projects

Presley was still hoping for his nephew to return and take over, and although Robin held most of the shares, Damon’s shares hadn’t been officially reclaimed, and Royce’s shares were idle.

Chapter 1605

He was now a director of the Harper family, but what if Damon changed his mind and used his brother’s shares to oppose him.

The Board of Directors wouldn’t just follow the one with the most shares. His position was far from stable. If another hiccup occured during the Global Economic Summit, his position as Chairman could be hanging by a thread.

He simply could not tolerate Chloe’s presence, given the sum of all issues at hand. He just couldn’t find the right reason or loophole in the past.

Now, however…

When Damon had said, “It’s too late,” Chloe hadn’t understood. But her plan had already been set in motion, and there was no reason to stop

Elizabeth was now in the deep south, where mostly men went off to work to earn their living, leaving behind women and children. The economic conditions were poor, and life was simple and primitive

The reason she came here was because of a favor Chloe had asked her. Even thinking about the plane crash that occurred later still gave her chills. If Chloe hadn’t rushed over to stop them, informing her about her pregnancy in the midst of the rage sparked by her grandfather, would she still be alive and well, eagerly awaiting the birth of her beloved grandson?

And there was no chance she could complete the mission entrusted to her by her parents.
