Chloe chuckled, "Didn't we just discuss this? Figure it out yourself. Don't expect me to spoon-feed you."

Seeing that Chloe wasn't biting, Rose pouted, "Fine then. I'll head back to let the manufacturer know we need more orders."

“You trust me just like that?"

“Of course. If I didn't trust you, I would've been eating dust by now.’b2 Chloe smirked, propping her face up to look at her. The smile on her face was gradually replaced by seriousness. "Take good care of yourself when you get home. Not for anyone else, but for you and the baby in your belly."

The smile on Rose's face also gradually faded, "I know, it's always been like this, and you don't have to worry about me. You on the other hand. I've noticed that you still haven't considered settling down and taking care of yourself during your pregnancy. I've done a lot of research online. The first few months are critical, and you have to be extremely careful.

With that, Rose suddenly grabbed Chloe's hand, "If you don't take good care of my daughter-in-law, I'll never forgive you."

The two best friends, who had known each other for many years, didn't have many intimate and emotional exchanges. Because they understood each other. This kind of hand-holding, deliberate and serious admonition was rare.

Chloe, who just got threatened by Yasmine yesterday, now was getting it from Rose, couldn't help but laugh. "What could possibly happen to me? Why does it feel like you all think something is going to happen to me? I can take care of myself and the babies, and I have Damon."

"I never thought anything would happen to you.” Rose shook her head, "I'm leaving, aren't 1? Leaving you with other people, how could I be at ease?"

“Cough cough." Nate, who was driving in front, suddenly couldn't contain a cough.

Chloe looked up at the sound and asked in confusion, "Nate, are you sick?"

Nate quickly shook his head, "No, no, I'm fine. Thank you for asking, ma'am"

Chloe gave him a perplexed look, then glanced at Rose. "What..."

Rose covered her mouth and laughed, “What are you doing, defending him like that, it's unbelievable. How long has it been and you can't handle me talking about him? In the future, you'll probably ditch me for him."

Chloe raised an eyebrow, nonchalantly saying, "Probably."

Rose widened her eyes, "Chloe!"

Chatting along the way, they arrived home before they knew it. With Damon not at home, Rose decided to stay overnight. When Nate dropped Yasmine off, Bryson was already waiting at the door.

As he was leaving, Nate glanced around Peck's Manor. The feeling of being watched that he had felt the last two times he had visited Peck's Manor was truly gone now. Thinking about what had happened between Yasmine and Boyd at the hospital, he raised an eyebrow in surprise.

It was surprising how obedient Boyd was. When he was told to withdraw, he just did it.

Actually, what had happened at the hospital just made Boyd temporarily withdraw the people he had assigned to protect Yasmine.

She had mentioned something from the past. It was a mistake he could never make up for in his lifetime. It was also a fact and barrier that they could never face directly.

Now she had just had such a big rage, and if he still let his people appear in front of her, it would only make her angrier. He had made too many mistakes before, and now how could he bear to make her angry. At least, he should wait a few days for her temper to subside.

The business in the European Union was being suppressed more and more.

In just a few days, several major projects of the Harper Group were completely halted. Robin sat in his office, listening to the report from his assistant with a stern face.

“It's pretty certain now that someone is targeting us. Including the small projects in other regions at the beginning, they should all be the same person. In these recent projects, the other party seems to have an attitude of taking no prisoners, competing with us for business without any consideration"

Robin's face was terrifyingly gloomy, "All the projects that have had problems recently are all in the Harper family's territory. Who the hell dares to go head-to-head with us?"

His assistant's expression was somewhat subtle upon hearing his words.

"Mr. Robin, all these big and small projects accumulated. Think about it.

They all started after the CEO... After Damon said he wanted to ‘completely crush' the Harper family. Don't you think that these things could very possibly have something to do with him?"

Robin squinted his eyes, his hand gripping the pen tighter. Actually, in his heart, the first person he thought of was also his good nephew, Damon. But on second thought, Damon was still too young. He was just under thirty years old after all. He acknowledged that Damon was intelligent and resourceful, but all of this was thanks to the Harper family, who gave him a platform to shine. Without the Harper family, he was nothing.

He might have met people with deep connections when he was still the CEO of the Harper family. But as a capitalist, who would dare to go against the Harper family for the sake of loyalty to him?

The Harper Group had been growing and expanding since a hundred years ago, and it had established an unbreakable position in the European Union.

Forcibly snatching business in the overseas territories where the Harper family had a strong foundation, after careful consideration, he couldn't believe that Damon could do that.

“Impossible.” He denied his assistant's guess. Damon simply didn't have the capability. "Go find out who it is."

"Yes"

After his assistant left, Robin slowly put the pen on the table, stood up and started walking around the edge of the whole office. His deep and cold gaze scanning every corner of the office.

These were all things he had been patient for decades to get, and he was supposed to just hand them over?

Presley treated him as nothing more than a pawn to coerce Damon into compliance, so even though he was his biological father, he didn't see any need to continue the charade with him until the end.

Two days later, at the Harper Group's shareholder meeting, Presley attended.

A bevy of journalists crowded outside the gates of Harper Group, anxiously awaiting the outcome.

“You know, I heard that this shareholders’ meeting of Harper Group is primarily about a reallocation of shares; one reporter commented.

“Yeah, I've heard the whispers too, but I'm curious, what exactly does a reallocation of shares mean? Harper Group is a family business, with the majority of the shares held by the Harper family. What kind of changes could possibly come from this reallocation?" another asked.

"Well, they might present a united front to the public, but who actually holds the power within the Harper family? That's the real deal. After all, who wouldn't want control over such vast authority?" a third journalist chimed in.

"But from what I've heard, this share reallocation involves the shares of former CEO, Royce. And with the old man himself showing up for the meeting, I reckon it's about to get real’ another added.
