Robin's face took on a serious expression.
"While you're busy charming women, have you given any thought to your missing parents and where they might be?
“Instead of managing Ms. Summers' company and dedicating time and energy to dealing with those who merely uttered a few harmless insults, shouldn't you allocate some of that time to searching for your own parents? If they're alive, you should be looking for them. And if, by any chance, they've passed away, shouldn't you be thinking about handling their affairs?
“I know that these may not be the most pleasant words, but I'll leave it at that. Whatever you choose to do, I hope you won't be led astray by some woman."
A cool light flickered in the depths of Damon's eyes.
Chloe, who was indirectly being labeled as a seductress, didn't seem to be bothered at all.d2
"Robin, are you belittling women with what you just said? I have my own company and my own career. Damon's helping me manage my business. What do you mean by saying he’s being led astray by me? Are you saying my business is not important?"
"Working for a woman, do you think that's something to be proud of?!" This time it wasn't Robin who spoke, but Presley, who had been standing quietly by the side. The voice was extremely loud and didn't consider the feelings of those present at all.
Chloe's expression darkened, "What do you mean, working for me? Grandpa, watch your words. Yes, Damon left the Harper Group, but that doesn’t mean that the Harper Group was his only path to success. If you don't understand the concept of not underestimating others, I suggest you take a look at Wendy, who once flaunted her status as the heiress of the Alonso family in front of me, and see where she is now. The Harper family may be powerful, but don't think you're irreplaceable. Don’t look down on others just because you’re one of the Harpers."
Chloe's words were equally merciless. In her eyes, the old man had completely crossed the line. Even for an ordinary man, being criticized like that was a severe blow to their dignity, let alone for someone like Damon, who was born under a lucky star. She could not accept that anyone could use such words to describe him.
Presley was so angry that he trembled, pointing at Chloe he stuttered, "You…you…"
"And another thing." Chloe interjected coldly, "What's mine is Damon's. There's no such thing as working for each other."
"I know that since you've successfully removed him from the Harper family, you wouldn't want to keep a potential threat around. Don't worry, he has no intention of starting from scratch. If you really want to suppress him, my Starlight International, and all the enterprises under my name, they will all be his weapons. We're ready for battle, prepared for any challenge."
Outside the hotel, in the chilly wind, there was a moment of silence. Her firm and resolute words echoed, leaving everyone speechless.
Daring to openly challenge the Harper family? Not many people would have the courage to say such a thing.
Presley, trembling with rage, stared at Chloe, his finger shaking uncontrollably. "Fine. Good. Ready for battle, huh? Since you're so audacious, I'll let you have your way."
Chloe's lips curled into a smirk. She stood tall, her chin slightly lifted, exuding an air of calm defiance.
"We're ready anytime."
