Chapter 1778
Presley seemed to have all the paperwork ready in advance. All the formalities were quickly and smoothly
completed at the notary’s office
When it came to the so called divorce settlement that Presley had left for Alyssa, she didn’t utter a word simply
accepting it all. it seemed like she didn’t want to pass up on anything offered
Instead of heading straight to her mansion, she went directly to Greenfeld Village
Damon returned home with Chloe, with Rose following them. As soon as they stepped inside, Rose whisked Chrow
into the kitchen
While ordering food from the chef Damon had specifically hired for Chlon. Rose was complimenting Damon on
being a wonderful husband and how top notch the chafa culinary skills were c7
This lightened Damon’s mood a bit, and the chef was cheerfully preparing delicious meals for the two expectant
mothers
As Hannah wheeled Alyssa in everyone hurriedly moved to the living room.
“Granny
“Granny Alyssa
Granny Alvika smiled at them. “Were you in the kitchen?”
Rose nadded somewhat sheepishly. “Get a bit peckish)
“Ah, just tell the chef whatever you fancy rating‘ She smiled kindly, her voice full of warmth
Chloe just looked at her quietly, tightening her lips but not saying a word
When Damon entered the living room Granny Alyssa looked at him. “Come and sit”
At this point Rose found an excuse to sneak back into the kitchen, and Damon pulled Chloe to sit on the sofa
Granny Alyssa looked at Damon with a serious expression, “Did you really give up your shares in the Harper family
business?
Damon responded calmly. “No”
“What about Nathan’s?”
“Also no
With a sigh of relief, Granny Alyssa gestured to Hannah, who promptly handed her a file bag. She pulled a
document from the bag and passed (t directly to
Chloe sat next to him, her gaze steady and calm. Damon glanced at the document but didn’t take it
Granny Alyssa placed the document on the coffee table. It seems you already know, so I won’t say much. Take
these 30% shams
Chloe forced a smile
How should she describe Presley? Did he not want to let go of Granny Alyssa? So he had been delaying things until
now?
But he didn’t offer any defense, directly agreeing to the divorce in court. Then, under everyone’s gaze, he gave the
grandmother a significant amount, including the Ha Group
It sounded generous, but in reality he was just using the divorce and Granny Alyssa to return the Harper family
business to Damon in this way
He wouldn’t yield to her, nor would he apologize to Damon. But he still handed the Harper family business to
Damon according to the plan.
The Harper Group hadn’t flourished under Robins management in fact it had been in decline, which showed that

Damon’s abilities were beyond question, especially as he was now the CEO of the Obsidian Group. If the Harper
family business returned to him, what would ity Nature be like? It was hard for anyone to imagine
The Harper family business was more important to Presley than anything else. Even in the divorce, he had to
ensure a solid future for the Harp
Perhaps she was overthinking Maybe she was making people out to be too enl
From another perspective Hobin was no longer capable of managing the Harper family business and Presley
business. Apart from returning it to Damon he really had no other choice
The Harper Tartily business was his life’s work, the pride and symbol of the Harper family
collapse and it hadn’t come to that point yet

Facing Granny Alyssa’s triumphant amée, she couldn’t help but feel like she had walkand unto a trap. But from
begiraning to end, what did this harem ha wanted to comfort granny, but ended up with this huge burden.
“Granny I Eve already let go of my own comparty.”

“That’s okay, I’ll take care of it for you. After you have the babies, you can go back to work.”
“No way!” Damon suddenly interjected, adamantly refusing the unappealing proposal

Alyssa glared at him sternly, “I was speaking to my granddaughter–in–law Since when did this become your
business?”
Damon’s face darkened, e’s my wife I didn’t marry her to clean up the mess of the Harper family”
“What mess cleaning? Loads of people would kill for this property. I’m giving it to your wife What’s your problem?”

“You
1. up. You don’t want it, and you are stopping others from taking it? What do you think you’re doing? Trying to be
your grandfather?”
Damon was speechless
Chloe grimaced. Alyssa was acting so differently now compared to her earlier seriousness. She began to suspect
that Alyssa’s target had always been her
Seeing Chloe’s puzzled and slightly disoriented look, Alyssa let out a sigh, her eyebrows furrowed, portraying a
picture of disappointment Chloe my dear, do you really want your granny to manage the company? I want to live a
few more years and take care of my great–grandchildren I’m getting old. I don’t have many years left”
Chloe looked even more moved.
Alyssa continued. “I just want to leave my great–grandchildren something to remember me by. At least they will
know how much I loved them. I know you’re a kindhwarted girl Can you help your old granny out?”
Alyssa’s voice and expression were full of pleading Chloe felt a pang in her heart. She turned to look at Damon and
whispered “Damon
Damon glanced at the cunning old lady, his face growing even more stern. After a long while, he finally said, “Do as
you wish”
Alyssa’s face lit up as she looked at Chloe with even more anticipation.
Chloe was silent for a moment, then continued. “Or Damon, you could take over. After I give birth, I’ll take over the
company”
Damon snorted. “This is your business. Don’t involve me. If you want the shares, keep them. I don’t want them”
Chloe looked troubled. After a while, she clenched her teeth and said, “Fine, I’ll take them for now. Once the babies
are born, transfer them immediately”
Alyssa’s face lit up. “Good, let’s do that.”
Chloe fell silent. Even though she knew it was a trap, she jumped in willingly. It was not something you saw every
day
But then again, any normal woman would probably jump at the chance.
You’ve got to admit Alyssa was cunning Giving Chloe the shares was probably no different than giving them to
Damon
Once the deal was done, Damon immediately took Chloe upstairs.
Hannah sighed on the side, “Easier said than done. Once the babies are born, what mother would have the heart to
focus on work?”
Alyssa smirked, “That’s her problem. I don’t believe that he could just sit back and watch his wife suffer.”
Hannah finally got it So this was Alyssa’s plan
No wonder Damon was so against Chloe taking over the company. He must have thought of this. He didn’t want his
wife to work in the first place. He was probably putting up with her running Starlight international, but now with the
Harper Group added to it, he probably wouldn’t stand it.
If he couldn’t stand it, he would naturally have to manage the company himself. And if Chloe played up a bit, acted
all cute and helpless, things might be easier
Understanding this Hannah smiled, “You’re the clever one, ma’am”
Alyssa scoffed, “When it comes to cunning, no one can beat Presley”
He surely had already considered some possible unexpected events. He probably knew that the outcome would be
satisfactory to him, that was why he gave her the shares. He said it was compensation, but in the end, it was all for
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe Harper family
Hannah simply sighed in the end. Since they had divorced, she couldn’t bring up Presley casually. Bringing him up
would only bring regret and sadness,
Their decades–long mammage had become a thing of the past.
Alyssa clearly didn’t want to dwell on it. After a pause, she asked, “Where’s Robin? He was always so eager to prove
himself, but this time he gave up the shares so easily. That doesn’t sound like him at all
Hannah shook her head, “I’m not sure. He didn’t show up at court today Maybe, he feels partly responsible for what
happened between you and the old muster. And he hears guilty”
Alyssa shook her head. “That boy, always overthinking things. The tension between his father and me started a long
time ago. It’s our problem, not his”
She sighed. “In the end it’s all because of the Royce family issues it’s all about Royce and Damon, and I’ve
neglected Robin. He’s not young anymore. Now that his pan are divorced he must have felt embarrassed Being a
child of a divorced family at his age”
Hannah nodded. “Yes, ma am Rotan has a habit of keeping things to himself. He’s had it tough all these years. I
wonder how he’s feeling now that he’s given up fia
Alyssa nodded. “Go check on him Buy some grocenes on your way He came to see me recently, I noticed he’s been
eating tighter meals. i am still healthy. I’ll cook him something he likes”
Hannah smiled and nodded, “You’re so thoughtful, ma’am. I didn’t even notice that”
“After all, he’s my son. Of course I care about him”
“Then I’ll go and tell the driver to get ready”
“Sure”
Alyssa smiled, stretching out to massage her legs “Don’t screw up when I finally step into the kitchen
Elizabeth had another discussion with Royce about how to handle the relationship with the two old people. When
she returned, she happened to see Alyssa massaging her
own leg She stepped forward to take over. “Mom, these things cant be rushed. The more you rush, the more it
backfires.”
“Relax, I’m not in a rush. I’m going to check on Robin in a bet. I bet he’s feeling low now. I’ll cook him a meal to
cheer him up a bit.”
Royce narrowed his eyes
“You’re going to cook? Elizabeth asked in surprise
Chapter 1778
“Yeah, that’s right. To please someone, you’ve got to be sincere.”
Elizabeth laughed, “I’m so jealous.”
“Hmph Alyssa grunted in mock anger, “Aren’t you eating enough?”
“No matter how much I eat, it’s never enough”
“Off you go. You’re the master of sweet talk.
Elizabeth retorted. Tm just telling the truth.”
Just then, Hannah came over and said, “Ma am, the car’s ready”
Elizabeth got up, but Royce said, “It’s been a while since I had a meal with him. Let’s accompany you
Alyssa thought for a moment and agreed
Elizabeth wasn’t sure why Royce had suddenly decided to join them, but she didnt give it much thought. After all,
they were brothers, and eating together as a family was perfectly normal.
Robin had his own villa in P City. Presley wasn’t in a great mood and probably preferred to be alone Without a
doubt, Robin would be at home now
When Alyssa and the others arrived, Robin was taken by surprise. When he went out to greet them, his expression
stiffened upon seeing Royce and Elizabeth He stood there unsure of how to face the two of them.
