Chapter 1291


    Addie immediately walked forward to wee 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,pletely 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 theming 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 thepany? How could that be?!


    "_. Thepany issue..."


    Presley coughed lightly, intending to discuss thepany''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 rxed 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 topromise.


    "Do you know about the shareholder meeting?"


    Royce replied lightly, "Il heard some rumors: Presley snorted coldly, clearly seeing that he was


    ying 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 aboutpany 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 thepany’s


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


    “If you hadn''t..” Presley''s words suddenly stopped. He nced 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 is 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 almostughed 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 nning 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 topromise with thepany... Dad, you''re seriously underestimating


    your grandson:
