Chapter 1426
The tense atmosphere from their just–ended Board of Directors meeting had barely subsided, and they were about
to call for another meeting right away.
The purpose of this meeting was well–known. The last board meeting aimed to decide the next chairman between
Robin and Damon. In the end, Damon not only refrained from participating in the competition for the chairman
position but also resigned from his role in front of all shareholders.
However, the final appointment letter had not yet been officially issued, so they could only act as if nothing had
happened.
Damon still held the position of CEO.
This time was different from the past because rumors were circulating within the company that Presley intended to
announce at the upcoming board meeting that Robin would succeed as chairman. Indeed, these rumors were true.
Yesterday’s video from Y Country’s airport showed Wendy initially in a wheelchair. Some media outlets had raised
doubts about this. Early this morning. Cole, who was far away in Y Country, invited reporters from the domestic
news agency stationed in Y Country to hold a press conference and provide an explanation for Wendy’s situation.
At this moment, in Damon’s office, the video of the press conference held by Cole, intentionally circulated
domestically, was also being played.
Cole said in front of the media, ‘Everyone knows that the Harper family and the Alonso family have been close
friends for many years. My daughter Wendy and the eldest grandson of the Harper family have grown up together
as good friends. Even if there is no love between the two, there is deep friendship. Everyone is curious about why

all.
“I cant even imagine. Damon is also a child I watched grow up, and he shouldn’t be such a cruel and ruthless
person. However, he has harmed my daughter, the girl he has taken care of since childhood, in this way If there is
any reason for him to become like this, I think it must be due to Ms. Chloe’s influence. I believe that she’s jealous

do such a thing.
“The relationship between the Alonso family and the Harper family has been maintained for so many years, and it’s
really not easy. I am also willing to believe that Damon is only temporarily infatuated with
that woman.
“Nevertheless, I want to say, if a man who controls the entire Harper Group, listens only to a woman’s words, the
Harper Group will undoubtedly pay a substantial price for this in the near future.
“For the benefit of the Harper Group, I want to issue a warning. If Damon persists in his infatuation and remains
involved with that woman, it may be prudent for the Harper Group to seek alternative management in the future.”
His final remarks appeared casual but carried a semblance of reason.
Nonetheless, with the imminent board meeting and Cole’s released video, Damon undoubtedly faces a significant
setback. As the heir to the Harper Group, Darion had often been influenced by a woman, making him prone to
disruptions in his decision–making.
Damon arched an eyebrow, turned his head to face the silent Nate, and requested, “Provide a summary of his
intent.”
Nate bit his lip, swallowed nervously, and spoke with a serious tone, “In essence, Mr. Alonso suggests that Mrs.
Harper is a perilous seductress, and you, in turn, are an ineffectual ruler.” Damon fell into a brief silence, then
smiled and remarked, “A perilous seductress. He summarized it well.
Nate was speechless and thought to himself, “Could you be a tad more serious, Mr. Harper?! It’s quite evident that
you were labeled a ‘useless emperor, yet the emphasis still lingers on the perilous seductress. Doesn’t that appear
somewhat too casual?!”
“Indeed, Mrs. Harper is exceptionally beautiful.” Nate said.
“Ha–ha!” A familiar laughter echoed. Nathan, seated on the couch, was engrossed in his game but found
amusement in Nate’s words.
“I often wondered why you’ve been so close to my brother all these years. It seems there’s a good reason. You’re
quite skilled at flattery!” Nathan said.
Damon casted a sidelong glance at Nathan. “Flattery?”
Nathan promptly set aside his phone and embraced the role of a devoted follower, offering a thumbs–up as he
exclaimed, “Your wife is genuinely charming, intelligent, and courageous!”
Nate felt like facepalming. These two brothers were indeed a handful. One appeared suave, yet his humor was
helplessly natural. The other appeared serious, but in moments of levity, he might be less serious than anyone else.
In any case, each of these two brothers was more unconventional than the other.
What time was it now, the board meeting started at ten tomorrow morning.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCole was suddenly holding this press conference; clearly, he wanted him to resign.
Who would dare to hand over a big company to a useless emperor addicted to women? Did these two brothers
have no feeling at all now? They still felt quite happy. Mr. Harper, was he really a useless emperor?
However, the next moment, he saw Mr. Harper sitting there, and his expression on his face had become serious at
some point.
Nate straightened up a bit. Now, that was more like the usual Mr. Harper. But what the heck was he thinking?
Right now, all the cards were in Presley’s hands. Presley had always had a thing for the Alonso family. Rumors were
rife that he had planned to hand the Chairmanship to Robin this time.
If he was still a bit hesitant, then the press conference hosted by Cole had pretty much shattered any doubts he
might have had. Presley was utterly disappointed in Damon. It was anyone’s guess how he was going to keep his
chairmanship.
“Mr. Harper, about the meeting tomorrow.” Nate said.
Damon pushed the files in front of him to one side, resting his slender fingers on the edge of the table. “Although
my grandfather’s shares can indeed determine the next chairman, it might be a bit tough to get everyone’s
approval.
“So, you don’t have to compete for the chairmanship!” A cold voice rang out, and the door to Damon’s office was
pushed open.
At the door was Yasmine in a wheelchair. Damon paused, then stood up, asking, “Why are you here so early?”
As he spoke, he gestured for Nate to prepare some coffee for the guest.
Yasmine rolled to the center of the office and stopped, “I watched Cole’s press conference. He is clearly siding with
Robin. Considering your grandpa’s timid nature, unless you agree to marry Wendy, you won’t stand a chance
against Robin for the chairmanship.”
