She stood tall, her slender figure radiating an aura you couldn't ignore. Presley watched her for a while, then let out a cold chuckle. "Don't wanna? Weren't you always saying you liked Damon?"
Elizabeth, slowly calming down in Royce's arms, couldn't help but laugh coldly at this. Typical...
"So what?" Chloe retorted, "If I insist on being with Damon, are you going to strip him of something?"
"Right. He is the heir to the Harper family now, with most of the power in his hands. But I still own 20% of the Harper Group's shares. If you don't leave him, I won't give him a single share."
Chloe's eyes flickered, her heart trembling slightly. She had discussed the internal and external situation of the Harper family with Damon.
So when she inadvertently provoked Austin of Austin's Hardware, she took the opportunity to create a chance for Damon to acquire Austin's Hardware, successfully weakening Robin's power.
As for the distribution of shares at home, she knew it too well. Damon held 30% of the shares and had received another 8% from Percy. But even so, Robin still held 20%.
Presley still had 20% in his hands.
If in the end he didn't leave a single share for Damon, but gave it all to Robin then, with 40% of the shares, the entire Harper family would fall into Robin's hands.
Once the decision-making power fell into his hands, there would probably be no place for Damon in the Harper family. Even if Robin wouldn't be so ruthless in the end, how could Chloe accept Damon being suppressed in the Harper family, when the cause of this outcome would be her.
How could she face Damon calmly?
What a detailed plan. These 20% shares, perfectly controlled. If she really loved him, she should leave him sooner. He knew she couldn't stand watching a talent like Damon being suppressed. So he dared to say such words to her without hesitation.
"Would you choose your insignificant love or let Damon give up the entire Harper family for your insignificant love?"
Chloe lowered her head, silent.
"Chloe! Don't listen to him! He can give his shares to whoever he wants!"
"Shut up!" Presley suddenly shouted at Elizabeth, smashing an expensive set of porcelain cups on the table with his cane.
Elizabeth choked and was pulled into Royce's arms.
"Don't be afraid." Royce kissed the top of Elizabeth's head. "After the engagement party, I'll take you away immediately."
"I still want to see my grandchild..."
"We'll come back when Chloe is pregnant."
"Okay."
Hearing that Royce was the one suggesting taking Elizabeth away, Presley's already heavy breathing became heavier.
"Grandpa." Chloe spoke calmly again, looking at him with cold and intelligent eyes.
Robin, who had been sitting quietly watching, was sitting on the sofa. His smart eyes were fixed on Chloe, his face always smiling, full of meaning. She looked a lot like her mother.
"I want to know, what kind of woman do you think is worthy of Damon? If I agree to leave Damon, who will be his future wife?"
Everyone was puzzled by her sudden question.
"The Jules family, the Pounds family... what are you asking this for?"
Chloe nodded. "Got it."
"Got what!? I'm asking you why you're asking about this?!"
"No biggie, I just want to know, who exactly is blocking me from becoming Damon's wife."
The old man shut his eyes tightly. "What good will it do even if you know? What can you do to them?"
Chloe gave a slight smile, saying, "Any obstacle in my way, I'll wipe it out. No one can stop us from being together."
"Hmph, you're so full of yourself!" The old man scoffed. "You're just going to mess with them unreasonably?"
"If messing around is what it takes, so be it. I never said I was a saint."
Those who wronged her, she wouldn't forgive. Those who hindered her, she wouldn't forgive either. She never claimed to be a good person.
"I didn't realize you were such a ruthless person."
Chloe gave a light laugh. "Damon once told me, his woman doesn't need to be too kind-hearted. I'm just doing as he said."
