Chapter 1622
When it came to psychological battles, Yasmine was no pushover.
Robin’s ability to endure for so many years demonstrated the depth of his mental fortitude. But as humans, we all
had our weaknesses. Furthermore, Robin’s intentions were clear as day. Taking him down wasn’t going to be a
difficult task.
The old man’s silence, coupled with the subtle signs of unease emanating from Robin, brought a faint smile to
Yasmine’s eyes. “Shall we wrap this up? The Global Economic Summit is about to start. I don’t mind Mr. Presley and
Mr. Robin attending as representatives. But as for the share distribution, think we can leave it for another day”
As she spoke, she started to wheel herself away. However, a loud “bang” sounded from behind her as Robin
slammed his hand on the table.
All eyes turned to him c2
“Since when did you start making the decisions for the corporation?”
Yasmine had her back turned to him at that moment, and upon hearing his words, a wry smile tugged at the corner
of her lips. Turning around, she smiled and said. “It seems like you’re really determined to get your brother’s shares
today, aren’t you?”
Robin scoffed. “And what if I am?”
The old man’s face darkened slightly
Robin continued. “Damon is now completely focused on your darling daughter, and Nathan, as usual, couldn’t care
less about the company. Since he has his older brother to rely on, he’s been living like a spoiled brat. If not me, who
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtelse is worthy of these shares?”
Yasmine chuckled, “So it sounds like you’re the only one left. All those more competent than you have been kicked
out of the company, and those meant to die have died. So the shares can only go to you.”
Her words were certainly thought–provoking
“You’re talking nonsense! The previously silent Presley suddenly shouted, his cane thumping loudly on the floor.
Yasmine s words were a thinly veiled accusation. Robin had killed his own brother and sister–in–law, and kicked his
nephews while they were down, all for the sake of gaining power. He refused to believe his son was capable of such
terrible deeds.
Everyone’s heads lowered even more
Yasmine s claims were audacious and baseless. No one would be happy hearing such accusations. Furthermore,
Robin’s position as chairman was handed to him by Presley himself in front of everyone. If Yasmine’s claims were
true, then had he been manipulated by his own son?
In the end, without evidence, all this talk was pointless.
However, Yasmine didn’t seem like the type to throw baseless accusations. If she was telling the truth, then…
Though everyone kept their heads down, they exchanged meaningful glances.
The meeting room was very quiet, and the old man’s somewhat heavy voice, which carried a tinge of anger,
sounded especially distinct.
“Robin is now the chairman of the Harper family. He has the right to distribute the company’s shares. This matter is
settled. Meeting dismissed.”
“So you’re saying, this shareholders‘ meeting was just a way for you two to announce the decision, and we’re just
here for decoration?” Yasmine’s voice was cold
Presley halted, choosing to be upfront “What? Do you expect us to distribute our family’s shares to you
unconditionally?”
A few shareholders raised their eyebrows. There was no such thing as a free lunch.
I’m not asking for handouts,” she paused, and labked up at the old man with a smirk. “Royce, your trusted son of
many years, is now missing and presumed dead. Yet you can calmly accept his presumed death and even attend
this shareholders‘ meeting to distribute his shares. How are you able to do that?”
Presley’s face tightened, his gaze on Yasmine was full of animosity
“That was the life he chose” He yelled, his voice tinged with rage and resentment
1 spent years grooming him, only for him to throw it all away for a worthless woman. If it weren’t for his insistence
on marrying that woman, if he hadn’t been so indulgent with her, he wouldn’t have left with her. She’s the one who
led him to his death, along with his stubbornness. if he had listened to me. his life wouldn’t have ended up so pitiful.
He chose this path He brought this upon himself.”
Yasmine shook her head, her lips pressed into a thin line She chose not to respond. She left the rest of the
conversation to another person.
“The path was my choice, the woman was my choice, and whether I live or die doesn’t concern you greatly”
The door to the meeting room suddenly opened, and a calm, indifferent voice echoed throughout the room.
Everyone looked up in surprise, their expressions a mix of shock and elation when they saw who had entered the
room
Presley froze, relief and joy visible in his eyes as he looked at Royce, who had just walked in

The plane had been completely destroyed, and none of the crew survived. Even though they hadn’t found his and

He couldn’t continue that thought. Because that possibility, added to his guilt, made it impossible for him to remain
calm. “Royce, how

“How am i still alive?” Royce’s expression was placid, and his tone flat. It was hard to tell what he was thinking at
the moment, but the more it was like this, the more it made Robin feel uneasy.
Despite his years of restraint, Robin couldn’t hide his emotions. His expression changed slightly, and the hand he
had on the table clenched into a fist. “It’s It’s good that you’re all right.”
Royce didn’t spare him another glance. He turned to the elderly man, his expression as calm as ever. “If life and
death mean nothing to you, and you’re utterly disappointed in me, then me going back to the Harper family would
only be a thorn in your side. In fact, whether I have those shares or not doesn’t matter to me.”
He paused, shifting his gaze to Robin “Speak up about what you want and what you cherish. As your older brother, I
may very well satisfy your wish f you want the shares, take them all. Look out for our father in the future, will you?
If any issues arise, don’t hesitate to contact me.”
