The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1584

Her cunning had appeared a little satisfying last night, but it seems she had a hidden bigger agenda all along.

The consensus on her was pretty spot-on.

“Who would have thought that she could manage to get the Alonso family under her control! That Mr. Azriel’s background needs some digging into. I don’t recall ever hearing about him. The Azriel’s family…” The old man pondered, unable to figure out which family had such power that they could casually spend hundreds of billions on a whim, an extravagance even the Harpers couldn’t afford. But he couldn’t quite place any figure of such magnitude in the business world.

Sitting beside him, Robin seemed to have not registered his words. His eyes were downcast, and his mind was filled with images of the evening gown Chloe had shown him the previous night.

No matter how he looked at it, something seemed off about the dress, but he couldn’t put his finger on it. Even after mulling over it for most of the night, he couldn’t figure it out. But he felt certain that there was something crucial about that dress, otherwise he wouldn’t be so fixated on it! Lost in thought, he couldn’t shake off the uneasy feeling.

Having received no response, the old man couldn’t help but turn to Robin. Seeing him deep in thought and completely immersed in his own world, the old man couldn’t hide his annoyance, “Are you even listening to me?”d2

Having spent most of his life in the business world, his authority within the Harper family was something to be reckoned with. His stern voice finally brought Robin back to reality. Looking up to see the old man watching him, he straightened up on the couch. After a moment of hesitation, he spoke, “Ms. Summers does have quite the business acumen. The Olson Group was practically revived under her control, then there’s the Starlight International she now holds, and now the Alonso family...”

At this point, Robin paused, his brow furrowing in concentration and his expression turning serious.

Presley squinted at him, “What is it?”

Robin looked at him, his face solemn, “Now that she has the Alonso family, along with her other businesses, and even Damon is now helping her, if they decide to go against us, we might not end up like the Alonsos but we’ll both certainly be significantly damaged.”

After he finished speaking, he looked at Presley with a questioning gaze, “We can’t let this continue, Damon is hell-bent on being with Ms. Summers. If what you said last night wasn’t just heat of the moment, I think it’s time we put a stop to them.”

Presley’s eyes narrowed, “The company is under your control now; its future rests on you. Damon is family and my grandson, but in the business world, who has the luxury of being sentimental? Besides, it’s about time he faced some hardships! Only through experience will he learn what’s good and what’s bad, or what’s important and what isn’t! The Harper family cannot afford any major setbacks now; anything that poses a threat to us must be nipped in the bud. Do I need to teach you that?”

Robin smiled, “I understand the principle. It’s just Damon is your favorite grandson. How could I treat him like any other?”
