?Chapter 639:


    In just three days, the Harper family’s business took a serious hit. First, they got kicked out of major bidding opportunities. Then, business partners started cutting ties. To top it off, the government shut down several of their charging station projects.


    The Harper Group’s big ns—to integrate high-tech automation andunch electric vehicles—hit roadblock after roadblock during trial runs. the’s business world was suddenly inplete turmoil. One thing was obvious—someone was going after the Harper family. And it wasn’t just one person.


    Alexander called a high-level meeting to go over their strategy. Jeffry kept his gaze down, his face unreadable as he absentmindedly spun a pen between his fingers.


    Once the meeting ended, Alexander asked Jeffry to step into his office. Alexander’s voice was firm. “You stayed quiet during the meeting. That tells me this situation is…


    “…bigger than it seems, and the people going after the Harper family have real power. Have you picked up on anything?”


    Jeffry’s gaze flickered for a moment before he spoke, his tone sharp and cold. “They indeed have serious pull. The Harper Group has already taken several big hits because of them. They aren’t just some nobodies.”


    Alexander narrowed his eyes. “What exactly are you saying?”


    Alexander had always ced his trust in Jeffry. He wasn’t as young as he used to be. One day, Jeffry would have to take over the Harper Group. Lately, he could feel himself slowing down.


    Jeffry lifted his head and spoke carefully, “It’s not just the deputy mayor. The Garrett family is involved too.”


    Alexander’s brows furrowed. “The Garrett family?”


    Alexander was confused. The Harper and Garrett families had never been at odds. So, why were they interfering now? Both families were part of the’s elite four. He had crossed paths with the Garrett Group’s CEO at countless events, and their rtionship had never been tense.


    Alexander’s voice was low. “You’re certain about this?”


    Jeffry gave a firm nod. “I don’t know their motive yet, but their hand in our failed bids is obvious.”


    Alexander’s expression hardened. The Garrett family had strong military ties. If they were working with the deputy mayor, this could turn into a real problem.

    A thick tension filled the office. Alexander and Jeffry, with their simr yet distinct features, both bore the weight of the situation.


    Atst, Jeffry rose from his seat. “I’ll take care of it.”


    As soon as Jeffry stepped into his office, his secretary informed him that Evelyn had arrived.


    With numerous issues to address, Jeffry wasn’t in the mood to deal with Evelyn, his eyes scanning document after document. Without ncing up, he said tly, “I’m busy. Tell her to go.”


    Lately, Evelyn had been dropping by the Harper Group way too often. Although she imed it was for work, there was rarely anything substantial.


    Jeffry figured this was just another pointless visit and didn’t bother to entertain her.


    But this time, Evelyn actually had something he couldn’t ignore.


    The Morgan Group was willing to open their charging stations for the Harper Group. This undoubtedly solved the Harper Group’s biggest headache.


    Jeffry’s pen froze mid-signature. He finally looked up, studying Evelyn carefully before asking, “What do you want?”


    Evelyn’s lips curled into a slow smile. She slid an agreement across his desk and said, “Marry me.”
