Chapter 1444
Queen Julia’s speech had just concluded, and there was an instant silence in the audience. Following that,
thunderous applause erupted. The blessings kept coming in waves.
Ava swayed a bit, nearly tumbling over.
“Watch out: Cole was by her side and helped her steady.
Just as Ava steadied herself, her face had turned pale. Barbara didn’t look any better, but compared to Ava’s panic,
she was more filled with anger and unwillingness. The wine glass in her hand was unconsciously crushed, the liquid
trickling down her hand onto her dress hem, but she remained oblivious.
Chloe was the real princess?! Then what about her?! She had spent so much time and effort proving she was
worthy of being a princess, only to see the title so easily given to someone else?
She had been seeking a princess coronation, but now, she had nothing.
Now the Queen was going to hold a grand ceremony for this woman who just appeared out of nowhere? What did
her efforts over these years amount to? The applause and blessings around Barbara felt like a mockery of her hard
work over the years, like everything that she had ever done was in vain.
Wendy, who had been kicked out of the banquet hall, heard the Queen’s clear voice and the expression on her face
was indescribable.
A princess coronation!
Why did Chloe.. why did she still have to outshine her in the end, why couldn’t Chloe just drop dead?!
“You’re all a bunch of idiots, falling for such a cheap trick. What princess, the princess is long dead, where did this
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtreal princess come from, a bunch of fools.” The guards didn’t understand what Wendy was saying, they just looked
at her like she was insane.
The news of Queen Julia preparing to host the princess coronation ceremony for Chloe had resulted in all the
reporters present actively documenting this significant event. They believed that this would cause quite a stir
internationally.
Chloe stared at Queen Julia in surprise, her eyes widened open for a few seconds before she slowly asked, “Why all
of a sudden..”
Queen Julia patted her hand. “How can it be sudden? I owe you all this. Chloe, rest assured, I will give you and
Jasmine all I have in my life.”
Chloe wanted to refuse, but Queen Julia just shook her head with a smile, “Let it be a fulfillment of my wish”
In the end, Chloe didn’t say anything else.
As the banquet came to a close, reporters began sending this explosive news back to their respective magazine
offices and companies. Magazine editors promptly assigned staff to write articles, aiming to release the news as
quickly as possible.
At this time, it was 9.30 in the morning in P City.
The double doors of the conference room were open, and the directors and senior executives of the Harper Group
walked in one after another. People were whispering, constantly sighing and shaking their heads.
“I really don’t understand Presley’s intention. Why did he bet on the Alonso family?”
“Alas, Mr. Harper has a significant cooperation on hand. If it succeeds, the Harper family will far surpass the Alonso
family”
“Do you still not understand? Presley is looking at the future. If Mr. Harper can get together with Ms. Wendy, he can
easily bring the Alonso family under his contro Isn’t there anything easier and cheaper than this?”
“That’s true. If he can get the Alonso family, it’s worth it…”
“But even if he gets the Alonso family, so what? I’m afraid that the situation now is irreversible.”
Several directors sighed and shook their heads again, feeling regret and helplessness about the situation they could
foresee. However, there were also those who seized the opportunity. Now that Robin was about to take over as
chairman, naturally there were a few directors leaning towards him. Compared to the worried faces of the other
directors, these people appeared much more relaxed. This included Percy
Although he was unwilling to see Robin take the chairman’s seat, compared to Damon, he was more accepting of
the current situation
At the very least, Damon’s actions in the past, when he didn’t come to the aid of Ivan, his son, because of Chloe,
had long fueled Ivan’s resentment towards Damon
Seeing that Damon was about to lose not only the night to succeed as chairman of the Harper family due to Chloe,
but also his current position as CEO, how could Percy not be pleased?
Reading the news in his hand that Chloe had been exposed as a fraud at the Y Country’s state banquet, he couldn’t
help but feel elated. “What goes around comes around, it’s just a matter of time.”
As soon as Percy spoke, everyone’s eyes turned to him
“All these years, Mr. Harper’s ability is there for all to see. Are you just going to watch him fall from grace? Can’t
you temporarily give him your shares to help him through this crisis?”
Percy scoffed as if he’d heard a joke. “Damon’s quite capable if he needed me, he would have come to me already
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhy would he need you worrying about him?” Why would he help Darion when he was happy about his downfall?
At this point, several people stood up from their seats Everyone looked over to see Robin and Presley entering the
conference room together
The conference room fell into complete silence as Presley walked in, expressionless, lips tightly sealed, and his
game exuding authority. He took his seat at the head. of the table, surveyed the room briefly, and let out a cold,
disdainful grunt
Everyone shut their mouths, no one daring to speak
The meeting was about to start Even though Presley was here, Damon was still absent, no wonder Presley locked
unhappy
“Let’s start” Presley said without mercy clearly not planning to give Damon any oppomunity
1/2
M Damon hasn’t amived yet.”
Percy tossed the magazine he was holding onto the table, chuckling as he said, “Does it really matter if he comes or
not? What’s he gonna do if he does come? Just make a fool of himself, that’s all. It’s better if he doesn’t come. He’s
pretty sharp. He sure knows this better than anyone…”
“Of course, I should be here in person to hear the outcome. Otherwise, if this matter gets out, it would make me
look like I lack responsibility, wouldn’t it? I have a reputation to uphold, and I certainly cannot tarnish it at a time like
this.” Before Percy could finish his sentence, Damon’s indifferent voice chimed in.
