The atmosphere in the conference room was a bit awkward, but Robin casually asked at this moment, “Are all the shareholders here yet? If so, we should start the meeting.”
It already past the scheduled time, and if Damon did this, wouldn’t Robin’s chances of winning be even greater?
A shareholder whispered to him, “A few are still missing.”
“This is the Harper Group’s board meeting, who allowed you to join?!” Presley shouted angrily, interrupting the shareholder’s words, silencing the whole conference
room.
Everyone looked up and saw Presley glaring at Chloe next to Damon, his face ashen.
Wendy smirked. Yeah, how could Chloe have any good days as long as Presley was in the Harper family?
Damon’s calm expression turned serious as soon as he heard Presley’s words.
“I allowed her to join! Did you not see, or are you deliberately picking a fight?!” Damon said. His voice was low and chilling.
The atmosphere in the whole conference room seemed to freeze, and for a moment, everyone held their breath. Even Chloe, who was sitting next to him, thought his words were a bit too much. She gently tugged at his sleeve, and her hand was quickly held in a large, warm palm.
Everyone saw them, and although they knew the couple was close, this subtle action still surprised them. Before this, no one had ever thought that their President Harper would have any relationship with a woman, let alone this intimate
Wendy’s heart felt like it was being squeezed, the pressure almost suffocating her. She was struggling to breathe, in unbearable discomfort, but couldn’t pinpoint the pain. Her eyes on Chloe were full of malice.
Presley stared at Damon in disbelief, shaking with anger, but his eyes were strangely red, “You… Damon…you…”
Damon’s lips were a thin line, “Grandpa, don’t be angry. Take care of your health.”
Wendy managed to suppress her anger, stepped forward to pat Presley’s back lightly, and whispered soothingly.
Presley took a deep breath to calm himself, pointed at Damon, still angry, “Do you know where you are now? This is the Harper Group’s board meeting. Even if you have a good relationship with her, what qualifications does she have to join? Damon, I think you’re completely blinded by this woman now!”
Alyssa frowned and immediately retorted, “What’s wrong with that? Being seduced by women is perfectly fine! I’d rather he be attracted to women than be single for life!
The people in the conference room were silent for a moment, then broke out in laughter. Chloe couldn’t help but cover her face with her hand, feeling very embarrassed.
Presley was momentarily speechless, so Alyssa continued, “Damon being seduced by a woman is normal; you’re at this age, and still being seduced by women, you should be the one feeling ashamed. What right do you have to judge others?!”
Presley glared at her, “You““””
“Damon at least might give me a great–grandchild, and you?” Alyssa sneered at Wendy, who looked terrible, “What can you give me? You’re already so old, are you going to give me a son?!”
The chairman’s wife, indeed lived up to her reputation! When she got angry, she didn’t even spare her own husband!
“Ha–ha, grandma, come on, this is the board meeting.” Damon said.
In such a formal setting, his previously cold expression was ruined by his grandmother! So unprofessional!
The other shareholders who were trying to hold back their laughter also laughed out loud at Alyssa’s words, their shaking shoulders looking hilarious.
Presley, who was sitting in the main seat, was now red–faced. He had lived so long, and never thought he would get so mortified in front of all the company’s shareholders. “What are you laughing at?!” He said with a stern face, and the conference room fell silent.
“This is the board meeting, not a place for you to mess around! Irrelevant people, leave immediately!” He said, his eyes already falling on Chloe.
“Did you hear that? Wendy, your ‘grandpa‘ wants you to leave the conference room!” Alyssa said.
Wendy, who had been standing in place watching Chloe, suddenly heard this and looked indescribable. “Grandma, It’s not what you think between me and grandpa. I respect him very much.”
Wendy was very uncomfortable, putting her and Presley together, wasn’t this deliberately annoying?
“Yes, Alyssa, you’re pushing the joke too far, how can you say such things casually, aren’t you asking for trouble?”
“We all know that Ms. Alonso is interested in our President Harper. How could she have an affair with Presley?”
“Alyssa, better hold your tongue, we still have opportunities to cooperate with the Alonso family’in the future. Don’t offend them!”
Several shareholders began to persuade Alyssa; they were all a bit wary of the power of the Alonso family.
Presley also didn’t plan to squabble with his wife in such a situation, and said in a deep voice, “The Alonso family and the Harper family have been thick as thieves and they’re gonna be family soon. Wendy, of course, has every right to be on the board meeting! I don’t wanna say it again! Some smarty–pants here, don’t play dumb now! Get out! Or don’t say I didn’t warn ya!”
Damon tightly held Chloe’s hand, his tall figure suddenly standing up from the chair, his face cold as he pulled Chloe up with him!
“So…” Damon was about to speak.
“Bang!”
Damon was interrupted when a loud door–opening sound came from the entrance. The conference room door was forcefully pushed open! Everyone turned to look at the door, a woman in a wheelchair with icy eyes staring straight at Presley.
Seeing his angry face, the corner of the woman’s mouth curled into a cold sneer, “So, Mr. Chairman, who’re you planning to get tough with?”
