The Enticing CEO's Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1778

Presley seemed to have all the paperwork ready in advance. All the formalities were quickly and smoothly completed at the notary's office.

When it came to the so-called divorce settlement that Presley had left for Alyssa, she didn't utter a word, simply accepting it all. It seemed like she didn't want to pass up on anything offered.

Instead of heading straight to her mansion, she went directly to Greenfield Village.

Damon returned home with Chloe, with Rose following them. As soon as they stepped inside, Rose whisked Chloe into the kitchen.

While ordering food from the chef Damon had specifically hired for Chloe, Rose was complimenting Damon on being a wonderful husband and how top-notch the chef's culinary skills were.

This lightened Damon's mood a bit, and the chef was cheerfully preparing delicious meals for the two expectant mothers.d2

As Hannah wheeled Alyssa in, everyone hurriedly moved to the living room.

"Granny."

"Granny Alyssa."

Granny Alyssa smiled at them, "Were you in the kitchen?"

Rose nodded somewhat sheepishly, "Got a bit peckish."

"Ah, just tell the chef whatever you fancy eating." She smiled kindly, her voice full of warmth.

Chloe just looked at her quietly, tightening her lips but not saying a word.

When Damon entered the living room, Granny Alyssa looked at him, "Come and sit."

At this point, Rose found an excuse to sneak back into the kitchen, and Damon pulled Chloe to sit on the sofa.

Granny Alyssa looked at Damon with a serious expression, "Did you really give up your shares in the Harper family business?"

Damon responded calmly, "No."

"What about Nathan's?"

"Also no."

With a sigh of relief, Granny Alyssa gestured to Hannah, who promptly handed her a file bag. She pulled a document from the bag and passed it directly to Damon.

Chloe sat next to him, her gaze steady and calm. Damon glanced at the document but didn't take it.

Granny Alyssa placed the document on the coffee table. "It seems you already know, so I won't say much. Take these 30% shares."

Chloe forced a smile.

How should she describe Presley? Did he not want to let go of Granny Alyssa? So he had been delaying things until now?

But he didn't offer any defense, directly agreeing to the divorce in court. Then, under everyone's gaze, he gave the grandmother a significant amount, including the Harper Group.

It sounded generous, but in reality he was just using the divorce and Granny Alyssa to return the Harper family business to Damon in this way.

He wouldn't yield to her, nor would he apologize to Damon. But he still handed the Harper family business to Damon according to the plan.

The Harper Group hadn't flourished under Robin's management. In fact, it had been in decline, which showed that Robin's business acumen wasn't outstanding.

Damon's abilities were beyond question, especially as he was now the CEO of the Obsidian Group. If the Harper family business returned to him, what would its future be like? It was hard for anyone to imagine.

The Harper family business was more important to Presley than anything else. Even in the divorce, he had to ensure a solid future for the Harper Group.

Perhaps she was overthinking. Maybe she was making people out to be too evil.

From another perspective, Robin was no longer capable of managing the Harper family business and Presley ultimately lacked the ability to manage the Harper family business. Apart from returning it to Damon, he really had no other choice.

The Harper family business was his life's work, the pride and symbol of the Harper family through the generations. No one would want to see the Harper family business collapse, and it hadn't come to that point yet.

"He's quite cunning, stirring up all this trouble. He was the one who forcibly took the company away, and now he wants to dump this mess on me. How generous of me to just forget past grievances and do as he wishes?"

Granny Alyssa smirked, "Yes, he's clever. That's why he gave all these assets to me. If you were me, how would you handle it? Fine, if you don't want them, I'll manage them. At worst, I'll live a few years less, but at least I can leave something for my great-grandchildren."

Even though she didn't approve of Presley's ways, she couldn't deny the importance of the Harper family business.

30% of the shares were enough to ensure a comfortable life for her two beloved great-grandchildren. A few years of hard work was absolutely worth it.

Damon pursed his lips, his expression not too good. Granny Alyssa's words were clearly meant for him to hear.

Living a few years less? How could he let her live a few years less?

Although he didn't look happy, he leaned back on the sofa, not saying a word, but gave a light cold snort.

Alyssa on the other side, looking at the document in front of her, sighed deeply, showing her helplessness.

Chloe looked on, particularly moved by Granny Alyssa's words. Seeing the stalemate between the two generations, she glanced at the still silent Damon and couldn't help but say to Granny Alyssa, "Granny, don't be upset."

Upon hearing this, Alyssa almost instantly lifted her head, a smug smile on her face. Before Chloe could finish her sentence, Alyssa cut her off. "Sure. You take these 30% shares, and I won’t be upset."

Taken aback, Chloe opened her mouth but didn't speak.

Facing Granny Alyssa's triumphant smile, she couldn't help but feel like she had walked into a trap. But from beginning to end, what did this have to do with her? She just wanted to comfort granny, but ended up with this huge burden.

"Granny, I… I've already let go of my own company."

"That's okay, I'll take care of it for you. After you have the babies, you can go back to work."

"No way." Damon suddenly interjected, adamantly refusing the unappealing proposal.

Alyssa glared at him sternly, “I was speaking to my granddaughter-in-law. Since when did this become your business?”

Damon’s face darkened, “She's my wife. I didn't marry her to clean up the mess of the Harper family."

"What mess cleaning? Loads of people would kill for this property. I’m giving it to your wife. What’s your problem?”

“You better not…”

“Shut up. You don’t want it, and you are stopping others from taking it? What do you think you’re doing? Trying to be your grandfather?”
