The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1291

Addie immediately walked forward to welcome them. However, before she had reached the door, she froze for a

second when she saw who was there. But then she put on a smile and greeted the two people in front of her.

Royce, with his arm around Elizabeth’s waist, completely ignored Addie’s enthusiasm and walked into the living

room with a cold expression.

Presley’s serious face turned even more gloomy when he saw them. “What are you two here for?”

Royce and Elizabeth walked into the living room. They didn’t sit down and stood opposite Presley, separated by a

sofa.

Royce calmly looked at Presley and asked, “Is Damon here?”

Presley frowned. “No! What do you want with him?”

He had been waiting here for two days, knowing that he had slipped away silently, but he did not know that there

was still no news of him.

Royce frowned and thought for two seconds before saying, “No biggie.”

Elizabeth frowned. Her sharp gaze swept over the entire living room, then she bit her lip.

That little bugger. Now he’d vanished!

The two of them coming together to look for him just proved that Damon hadn’t been in contact with them for a

long time. So, he didn’t hear about the company? How could that be?!

“…The company issue…”

Presley coughed lightly, intending to discuss the company’s issues with Royce, but Royce hugged Elizabeth and

prepared to leave. “Let’s go.”

Elizabeth smiled, secretly praising her clever husband in her heart. This oblivious attitude felt so damn good!

Presley was indeed interrupted and his eyes widened in surprise. Seeing the two of them about to leave, Addie was

puzzled and hurriedly said, “Mr. Harper, Mrs. Harper, you guys just got back, why are you leaving so soon? Presley

was about to say something, wasn’t he?”

Elizabeth frowned and looked at Addie who was blocking their way, saying coldly, “From the sound of it, are we not

allowed to leave today?”

Addie had always known Elizabeth’s dissatisfaction with her and was used to her attitude. She straightened her

waist and said arrogantly, “Mrs. Harper, Presley has something to say.”

The powerful intimidating attitude she had was like a maid in a TV drama. It was disgusting.

Elizabeth scoffed and walked out of Royce’s arms. “Alright then, we won’t leave.”

The frown on Presley’s face finally relaxed a little.

Addie smiled satisfactorily. “Then Mr. Harper and Mrs. Harper, please sit, I’ll go make you some coffee!”

Elizabeth just sneered without saying anything, pulling Royce to sit down on the sofa. Royce let his wife pull him to

sit on the sofa, expressionless, without any fluctuations.

Under these circumstances, Presley did not expect his usually reticent son to take the initiative to talk about the

shareholder meeting. Although he wasn’t talking/ with Damon, Royce was his father after all, and he would never

let his son easily give up the inheritance of the Harper Group.

So having a chat with him, having an extra ally, would put more pressure on Damon and might’ve made Damon

more likely to compromise.

“Do you know about the shareholder meeting?”

Royce replied lightly, “I heard some rumors.”

Presley snorted coldly, clearly seeing that he was playing dumb.

“This is not a rumor!” He said coldly. “This is indeed my idea. I’m getting old and there will be a day when I have to

step down. I must hand over the Harper family to someone I can trust!”

Even Elizabeth, who never cared about company affairs, could hear the threat in his words. She couldn’t help but

roll her eyes, Presley was so full of himself!

Royce nodded indifferently, his expression unchanged. “The decision is in your hands. Whatever you decide is fine.”

“You…” Presley was almost choked by Royce’s attitude and words! This was about the company’s inheritance, and

he was so casual about it, not caring at all?

“If you hadn’t…” Presley’s words suddenly stopped. He glanced at Elizabeth and pursed his lips. “If you hadn’t given

up the inheritance of the Harper Group back then, maybe Damon wouldn’t be facing the re–election of the

chairman today! Having lived for so long, you haven’t provided any advantages for your own son. Don’t you feel

ashamed?”

Royce leaned back on the sofa, his slender fingers lightly resting on his suit pants, and his brow furrowed in–

thought.

“Why should I feel ashamed?” He asked. “The position of the heir to the Harper Group not what he really wants.

What he wants, he will naturally fight for. I won’t interfere, nor will I oppose. I think this is what he really hopes I

would do as a father.”

Presley’s anger was stuck in his chest, so he took a few deep breaths.

“Damon… Damon’s current state, is something he learned from you!”

Royce slightly raised the corners of his mouth. “If he didn’t learn from me, that would be a pity.”

Elizabeth almost laughed out loud at this remark.

Presley was so angry he couldn’t speak. Royce’s message was very clear. For them, the Harper Group was not a

necessity. Whether he passed it on or not, they didn’t care.

Presley closed his eyes deeply, feeling deeply disappointed in Royce. This son, who was so promising, had let him

down time and time again. “So in your heart, the Harper family is not that important.”

“It’s not that it’s unimportant, it’s just not as important to me as it is to you. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, the

Harper Group is something I would never give up.”

Elizabeth pursed her lips on the side. She’d never forget how Royce gave up his inheritance of the Harper Group,

gave up everything for her. She used to feel guilty

for his loss, but then, she got over it. She knew he gave up a lot for her, so she decided to invest more of her

feelings to love him.

Plus, smart and capable men were excellent and charming no matter where they were

If Presley hadn’t yet decided to hand over the Harper family business to Damon, and wanted Royce and Elizabeth to

return to “help” Damon get to his senses, they would never return to the Harper family.

Now, Presley was trying this trick again, hoping to keep Damon.

“Are you really planning on giving up Damon’s inheritance?”

Royce looked at him and said, “The decision is in your hands. You can give it to whoever you want but trying to

force Damon to compromise with the company… Dad, you’re seriously underestimating your grandson.”
