The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1561

Damon’s eyebrows knitted together, Chloe at his side clutching his hand, worried that he might clash with the old

man.

Damon grabbed her hand in return, speaking in a voice barely audible.

“I don’t care how much the Harper Group heir is worth. To me, it’s worthless.”

“Worthless? Do you know who you sound like when you say that?”

“…“c2

“Someone who hasn’t achieved anything and possesses nothing. It’s just like when people say that not everything in

the world can be bought with money. They sound so romantic, principled and compassionate. But at the end of the

day, they only say these things because they don’t have anything. They’re just trying to sell sentiment to justify

their lack of achievement.

Look at everyone here, who isn’t busy making money? Who has the leisure to say such things? Don’t forget how

busy you were when you were the global executive of the Harper Group. Doesn’t it make you feel like a joke to say

these things now?”

Damon’s thin lips curved up, “I worked hard for the Harper family because it was in my hands. Not making it

successful would make me seem unreliable. And another reason was that you handed the company to my father,

and my father handed it to me, I didn’t want to let you down.

Was your only purpose in taking over the company to make money?”

Presley’s already icy face turned even colder. “So you want to disappoint us now?!”

Damon smiled a cold smile, “You gave the company to my uncle yourself. You didn’t even give me the right to

manage the company. How could I disappoint you?”

“You willingly gave up the position of CEO!”

Damon’s gaze turned to the stage in front of him,“Perhaps there’s something in the blood of the Harper family that

refuses to be submissive. Doing things under the watchful eyes of others, being at someone’s beck and call, and

constantly worrying about others‘ opinions might not be as satisfying as simply giving it all up.”

At this moment, Cole had already taken the stage, the grand chandelier above the venue casting light on the

opulent hall, making the business dinner hosted by the Alonso family seem even more luxurious.

“Since you have ambition, you won’t give up easily. If you’re willing to follow the path I’ve laid out for you, the

company will be yours, and it will definitely break new grounds and become the best company in the world.”

“Heh.” The old man’s grand ambitions made Damon chuckle, “The path you’ve laid out for me is to marry the

Alonso family’s daughter and curry favor with the Alonso family? Who do they think they are? How can they assist

me in making the Harper family’s business reach the forefront globally?”

“At the very least, it will do you more good than harm.”

“Hmm. So do you still want me to marry her now?”

The old man was embarrassed. Everyone knew what Wendy’s situation was now. He could ignore the rumors about

her before, but after she was caught red–handed with Abelard, if he still let his grandson marry her, wouldn’t that

make the whole world laugh at the Harper family?

Moreover, compared to the Alonso family, Chloe’s family background was completely unexpected.

But did he have any room to regret it now? Would he suddenly change his attitude towards Chloe? Heh… How was

that possible?

“If I ask you to marry her, would you do that?” Presley knew Damon was mocking him, so he didn’t hesitate to

retort.

“Damon, don’t expect me to accept Chloe because of her current status. The Harper family can get by without

anyone.“”

Damon smiled silently, “Indeed, who can say no? Why did you change your mind when it came to the Alonso

family? Although this is a fact, it’s too late to know it now.”

“What, still thinking about your so–called destruction of the Harper family?”

Damon crossed his long legs, playing with Chloe’s hand on his lap. “Yes, I’ve said it, and it would be a joke if I didn’t

do it.”

“Hmph. Arrogant!”

Damon just laughed, not saying anything more.

On the stage, Cole’s opening speech was almost over. “Thank you all for coming tonight. I believe the projects

handled by the Alonso family will not disappoint you all, and I trust that everyone here has already made their

choices. Now, it’s time to witness your choices.”

After the applause died down, people couldn’t wait to make their move.

“Silver Oak Industries, investing twenty million.”

This amount, though not large for this project, still made Cole smile satisfactorily, because getting started was a

good thing.

Next, other enterprises, individuals, and venture capital companies scrambled to invest.

“NovaTech Innovations, investing ten million.”

“Phoenix Enterprises, investing fifty million.”

“Quantum Technologies, investing a hundred million…”

Little strokes fell great oaks. When the first investment of a hundred million appeared, there were more and more

investors investing hundreds of millions or even billions. Before long, the total investment shown on the large

screen in front had reached ten billion. And the investment was still ongoing, with some who had already called out

earlier continuing to add to their investment. Seeing others investing billions, they always felt their own investment

was too little, and the dividend ratio would definitely be less later. Everyone was trying to take advantage of the one

opportunity to make a

killing, constantly worrying that if they missed it, they would regret it for the rest of their lives..

Seeing the atmosphere getting hotter and hotter, the Alonso family finally had the happiest smiles of the night on

their faces. Even though they’d have to share some profits later on, their current lack of funds and the need to

restore the Alonso family’s reputation were of utmost importance. Once their status was back up, and the project

successfully launched, there would be countless more projects waiting for them.

Wendy was undoubtedly the most cheerful. In order to witness Chloe’s reaction, she purposely positioned herself in

the corner closest to the front row, facing the crowd. From there, she could easily catch the expressions of

everyone in the front row.

Grace stood by her side, and Cole game down from the stage to join them. The smiles on their faces were evident.

“It seems everyone here is quite shrewd. They’ve really lucked out this time,” Grace commented. Although they’d

received a substantial investment, they’d also have to give away a significant amount of profits later.

“If it wasn’t for that little witch, Chloe, stirring up trouble, we, the Alonso family, wouldn’t have been forced to

resort to public fundraising. And Wendy, why did you have to invite her? Seeing her just irks me.”
