Chapter 1449
“What’s the deal here? No wonder Ms. Summers was so confident about nabbing the Alonso family. There’s more
to the story.”
“What’s the Alonso family worth now? Look at Ms. Wendy’s previous interview at the Y Country airport. She’s been
bending over backwards to prove her ties to Princess Ava. Thinking she can ride Ava’s coattails and reach the sky.
But what’s Ava worth in front of Ms. Summers?”
“What’s this? Penny wise and pound foolish. What a karma for all shenanigans.”
“Presley, this is the Alonso family you’ve been kissing up to. Wendy has embarrassed herself in every possible way,
but you’re still hard–headed. Now she’s made a fool of herself in front of the whole world. I bet she’s gone nuts.
Even a bum wouldn’t marry her.”
“Anyway, do as you please. Mr. Nathan, do you want the shares I have? The Harper Group is going down the tubes
anyway, so I might as well cut and run. I don’t mind if you offer less. Given the state of affairs, I might as well put all
my money into the stock market and make a killing on Peck Innovations shares.”
“Yeah, Mr. Nathan, take my shares too. I’m getting on in years. I should retire.”
“And me, with Mr. Harper out the picture, it’s all the same. Staying in this chaotic company, I’ll end up with zip. I’m
not greedy; it’s better to bail.”
Robin’s face was as grey as a bad weather. What the heck was Ava doing? Did she make a solemn promise just to

There was nothing more ironic than the current situation.
Robin just got his shares, not even for a minute, and the shareholders under him were selling off their shares right
in front of him, reducing their value to nothing, while completely humiliating him.
Percy didn’t see this twist coming. He glanced at Robin’s gloomy face and shouted at the shareholders planning to
transfer their shares, “Are you guys nuts? Even if the Harper Group ends up in Nathan’s hands, isn’t it still the
Harper family’s company? Is the Harper Group that easy to take down?”
The shareholders scoffed, “Our shares aren’t that much. It won’t affect you guys, no need to get all hot under the
collar. But I have to say, to us, the real Harper Group is the one with Damon, the rest… forget it.”
“If you don’t believe it, just wait and see. Let’s see how other partnering companies react when they find out the
Harper Group has a new CEO. Sorry, we can’t gamble with you. And, Nathan, our shares are ready for you to buy
anytime, just name your price.”
-Nathan sighed, casually leaning back in his chair, “Why is everything on me? If the Harper Group is going belly up,
and I don’t even know who to give my
shares to. I don’t want your shares. Ah, Robin, Percy, do you want them? As long as you can afford it, all the shares
Damon and I have are yours.”
Percy’s eyes lit up for a moment, but not long after, his expression dimmed. Getting shares was great, but they had
more than 40% of the shares, he couldn’t afford it.
This wasn’t something a few hundred million or a few billion could solve. This was priceless.
Damon casually handed over such a huge asset to Nathan, what a joke.
The shareholders departed one by one in anger, leaving only Robin and a few shareholders standing there,
exchanging uncertain glances, torn between decisions.
With an emotionless face, Damon pushed Yasmine towards the door of the conference room.
“Damon, wait for me.” Kane followed quickly.
“Did Presley really give the company to Robin? Why did you give up all your shares? Aren’t you the CEO anymore?
Ms. Chloe really lucky… No, Damon, you’ve got a good taste for choosing a princess for a wife.
“But I’ve heard that Queen Julia is about to abdicate, I think the next queen of the Y Country is very likely to be
Chloe. Isn’t life so strange?
“Hahaha, it seems that the Alonso family is nothing compared to getting an entire country. Damon, you’re truly a
winner in life.
‘Hello Yasmine, I’m Damon’s good friend, my name is Kane, and I have heard so much about you.”
Kane’s voice gradually faded away. There were only a few people left in the meeting room, yet his voice remained
clear.
What a joke.
Nathan stood up from his seat, scoffing. “Is Wendy the bad luck charm or what? Wrecking a company wasn’t
enough she had to drag the Alonso family down with her. Even involving the Harper Group. Wow… that’s
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmdestructive power, like Thanos snapping his fingers. Is Ms. Wendy the genderbent Thanos?”
Presley, Robin, and Percy didn’t know who Thanos was, but just from hearing the first part of what Nathan said,
they knew it was dripping with irony.
However, Nathan’s laughter didn’t last long. He walked to the door, and the smile on his face disappeared, replaced
by a chilling voice devoid of warmth. “You didn’t feel an ounce of regret for my parents. Presley, Damon has given
you too many chances. His guilt towards Chloe, well, maybe you will never get his struggles. It seems that what you
considered to be the finest in Damon was ultimately just a heartless workhorse you crafted for the family’s
interests.
“Don’t doubt Damon’s determination. When he decides to dismantle the family’s power, he will definitely make it
happen. Our parents are still missing, Damon doesn’t have a say in his own marriage, the family is falling apart, and
Chloe keeps bearing the burden…. All of these are the consequences of the family’s power.
“You’ve completely exhausted Damon’s patience.”
Nathan finished speaking and he left without any hesitation.
The conference room screen was still broadcasting the news of Queen Julia planning to hold a coronation ceremony
for Chloe on Christmas. Presley’s gaze stayed on the screen, but Nathan’s words were deeply engraved in his heart.
“Don’t doubt Damon’s determination… He’s given you too many chances.”
His body swayed a bit, and the cane in his hand dropped to the floor with a thi
