Chapter 1620

He couldn't believe that a woman could make it onto the world's list of wealthiest individuals. It wasnt a bias against women; it was just that throughout history, there had been very few well-known female entrepreneurs and millionaires. Moreover, if it was another woman, it would be bearable. But this woman, with his existing bias against her, was truly hard for him to reconcile with.

Perhaps sensing the old man's gaze, Yasmine lifted her eyes, smiling faintly at him.

“Thanks to you, Presley. I never thought that in my lifetime, I would also be able to climb the world's richest list." she said.

Her words caused the old man's expression to darken even more. He didn't believe that her own businesses could give her and Chloe such high net worths. If it hadn't been for their recent acquisition of the Alonso family, how could they, just the two of them, had achieved so much?b2 When he thought about how much of their motivation for targeting the Alonso family was because of him, he felt even worse.

But with everything that had happened, would he really agree to Damon and Chloe being together, especially with how the Alonso family was pressuring therm? Everything was already set in stone, and all he could do now was fume.

Both mother and daughter seemed to have a knack for easily infuriating people.

His lips pressed into a thin line, and he could only ignore Yasmine.

"The first issue is the distribution of shares.” Presley paused, not paying attention to Yasmine, yet seemingly also a bit uncomfortable with the topic.

The others lowered their heads slightly, pursed their lips, and remained silent.

"The shares under Royce's name, I've decided to hand over to the current chairman for distribution."

Upon hearing his words, everyone in the room lifted their heads, exchanged glances, and shook their heads.

"Sir, does this mean that Mr. Harper is no longer with us?" someone asked.

The old man's forehead creased, his cold expression filled with sorrow. Robin said, “It's been over half a month since the incident, and we've dispatched a large number of people for a massive search and rescue operation, but we've received no news. As much as we don't want to admit it, something tragic has happened to them."

Everyone else felt regretful. Ever since the plane crash, they'd all been closely following the situation. The Harper family initially tried to cover things up, but with no news for so long, what hope was there of survival?

They'd all already come to their own conclusions, and with this shareholders"

meeting, the accident involving the Royce and Elizabeth couple was a foregone conclusion.

“A tragedy?" Yasmine's voice suddenly floated up.

Robin looked at her, "Does Yasmine have a question?"

Yasmine curved her lips into a faint smile and spoke softly. "I'm just curious about what a tragedy looks like in Mr. Robin's eyes."

Robin frowned.

Yasmine continued on her own, “After all, it's your own brother. Now he's disappeared without a trace, neither confirmed dead nor alive. But you are just declaring him dead. And you simply call

this whole thing a tragedy with no expression or attitude. Is it that you're unusually good at hiding your emotions? Or is the Harper family generally heartless?"

The entire room fell silent at Yasmine's words. Such blatant accusations and sarcasm, even ordinary people wouldn't be able to take it. And the Harper family had always been more arrogant than most.

Robin's eyes narrowed dangerously at Yasmine's words. "It seems that you have a lot of prejudices against the Harper family.

Yasmine laughed coldly, "What do you think?"

Robin was taken aback.

Everyone else also pursed their lips, lowering their heads, stifling laughter.

Could this woman be any more blunt?

Presley's eyes immediately bulged, "If you have so many objections, why do you insist on clinging to my grandson?"

Yasmine looked nonchalant, "You make it sound like your grandson is so worthless, that anyone who wants to can easily take him. And speaking of clinging, who knows who's really doing it? My daughter is so outstanding, she could have any man she wants. Honestly, I don't see anything about your grandson that would make him worthy of my daughter. If you can take your grandson back, I'll be sure to treat you well."

This woman was certainly not someone that anyone would dare to cross.

Those words really put the Harpers down. Who didn't know what kind of person Presley's grandson Damon was? If you could meet someone like that, it would be a blessing from a previous life. Yet he

was being despised by Yasmine.

Everyone knew that the deeper the love, the deeper the hatred. The angrier Presley was about Damon, the more he actually valued him. His most cherished and proud grandson was being looked down upon, and he felt waves of anger that made his head spin. Yasmine's words were like sharp knives, aimed straight at his weak spots.

Took Damon back?

He...if he could take him back, would he still be sitting here, fuming at her?

What did she mean by "take back’?

What did she mean by "clinging"?

What did she mean by "worthless"?

These words were like sharp knives, circling around and aiming straight for his heart.

He was so angry that his lips were trembling, but Yasmine looked calm. "But I guess you don't have the ability to control his life. Otherwise, we wouldn't be here today. You are pushing your own grandson further and further away, and you still don't reflect on it. He gave up the company. Isn't that enough? Now you're going after his father's shares? What are you thinking? Your son is gone, and you're kicking his son out. I've seen people kicking someone when they're down, but I've never seen a grandfather do it to his own grandson.

"So it seems, Damon would have to be crazy or stupid to agree to go back."

The old man was so angry that his face turned pale and his lips trembled. He glared at Yasmine, huffing and puffing. "You...you...you came here today specifically to provoke me, didn't you?"

“You could say that, Yasmine conceded again with an air of no-nonsense.

"But for the sake of my visually impaired daughter, I have to fight for her rights.

“Sure, I'm not drooling over your Harper family stocks, but who would say no to some extra cash? Besides, as you've said, Damon is nothing without the Harper family's support. My daughter is already settling for less by being with him, and now she has to financially support a sugar baby?

“Even she's okay with it, I'm certainly not. If word gets out that the Harper family has spawned a sugar baby, it wouldn't just be you who'll feel embarrassed. I won't be able to hold my head high knowing that my daughter is stuck with a good-for-nothing man."

Everyone was completely taken aback by Yasmine's audacity. How could there be such a fearsome woman? Was there anything she wouldn't dare say?

Her sarcastic remarks were relentless, and now she had bestowed upon Damon the title of a sugar baby. For a man to be associated with such a term, it was no less than disgraceful, especially when he was born of the Harper family.

Such a disgrace to the family name.
