The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1561

Damon's eyebrows knitted together, Chloe at his side clutching his hand, worried that he might clash with the old man.

Damon grabbed her hand in return, speaking in a voice barely audible.

"I don’t care how much the Harper Group heir is worth. To me, it's worthless."

"Worthless? Do you know who you sound like when you say that?"

"..."

"Someone who hasn't achieved anything and possesses nothing. It's just like when people say that not everything in the world can be bought with money. They sound so romantic, principled and compassionate. But at the end of the day, they only say these things because they don't have anything. They're just trying to sell sentiment to justify their lack of achievement.d2

Look at everyone here, who isn't busy making money? Who has the leisure to say such things? Don't forget how busy you were when you were the global executive of the Harper Group. Doesn't it make you feel like a joke to say these things now?"

Damon's thin lips curved up, "I worked hard for the Harper family because it was in my hands. Not making it successful would make me seem unreliable. And another reason was that you handed the company to my father, and my father handed it to me, I didn't want to let you down.

Was your only purpose in taking over the company to make money?"

Presley's already icy face turned even colder. "So you want to disappoint us now?!"

Damon smiled a cold smile, "You gave the company to my uncle yourself. You didn't even give me the right to manage the company. How could I disappoint you?"

"You willingly gave up the position of CEO!"

Damon's gaze turned to the stage in front of him,"Perhaps there's something in the blood of the Harper family that refuses to be submissive. Doing things under the watchful eyes of others, being at someone's beck and call, and constantly worrying about others' opinions might not be as satisfying as simply giving it all up."

At this moment, Cole had already taken the stage, the grand chandelier above the venue casting light on the opulent hall, making the business dinner hosted by the Alonso family seem even more luxurious.

"Since you have ambition, you won't give up easily. If you're willing to follow the path I've laid out for you, the company will be yours, and it will definitely break new grounds and become the best company in the world."

"Heh." The old man's grand ambitions made Damon chuckle, "The path you've laid out for me is to marry the Alonso family's daughter and curry favor with the Alonso family? Who do they think they are? How can they assist me in making the Harper family's business reach the forefront globally?"

"At the very least, it will do you more good than harm."

"Hmm. So do you still want me to marry her now?"

The old man was embarrassed. Everyone knew what Wendy's situation was now. He could ignore the rumors about her before, but after she was caught red-handed with Abelard, if he still let his grandson marry her, wouldn't that make the whole world laugh at the Harper family?

Moreover, compared to the Alonso family, Chloe's family background was completely unexpected.

But did he have any room to regret it now? Would he suddenly change his attitude towards Chloe? Heh... How was that possible?
