Chapter 1293


    Elizabeth slowly approached her, giving a slight smile, "You wanted me to stay, didn''t you? I would


    stay, as you wish. But now, pack up your stuff and get out of the Harper family!"


    Addie nced nervously at Presley, but seeing him sitting there, lips tightly pressed together, she


    said, "Aren''t you being too harsh?"


    Elizabeth turned to look at him, "Presley, you can''t bear it?"


    Hearing her say ‘can''t bear it’, Presley''s face twitched.


    Finally, he turned to look aside. Addie''s face turnedpletely pale, her voice hurried and tearful,


    "Presley...


    “Everyone wants to be close to Presley, are you starting to act spoiled?" Elizabeth said.


    Upon hearing this, even Royce, who was sitting calmly on the couch, couldn''t help but crack a


    smile. This woman, she never gave up until she got what she wanted. A few words from her could


    make people suffocate.


    Only now did Addie realize that all Elizabeth had said was to make Presley speechless. Even if


    Presley wanted to defend her now, he couldn''t. And now, she had no chance to turn back.


    Addie tried to exin, "Mrs. Harper, I was only thinking of what''s best for the family."


    “You mean we''re all the troublemakers of the family?


    Without you, we''d all be fighting?" Elizabeth retorted.


    “That''s not what I meant.’ Addie said.


    “Of course not. On the contrary, how many times have Presley and I disagreed because of you?”


    Elizabeth said.


    Addie was speechless.


    Presley next to her pressed his lips again, thinking, indeed there were a few times.


    Elizabeth nced at Presley''s expression, then looked at Addie. She sneered, "Get lost!"


    Just because she didn''t have time to deal with her before, didn''t mean she couldn''t when she


    wanted to! She would definitely punish her!


    Elizabeth''s mood finally improved a little. With her spirit, she started thinking about her troublesome


    son.


    She had to go find him!


    Just like Presley said, Damon had been contributing to the Harper family for so many years, only for


    someone else to possibly reap the benefits in the end. He might be able to ept that, but she sure


    couldn''t!


    Why should her hard-earned achievements be taken by someone else?


    “Alright, darling, let''s go." Elizabeth said.

    Presley was speechless. She just kicked his people out, and now she wanted to leave right away?!


    Royce could no longer continue discussing the shareholders’ meeting with Presley. Presley had


    been trying to persuade him. And he had been trying to persuade Presley at the same time.


    The two withpletely different positions would only get angry if they continued to discuss.


    Standing up, he suddenly said, “Chloe is a smart woman, and Damon is not a fool. I think it''s best


    for them to be together. As for the daughter of the Alonso family, you should know her character. I


    guess you wouldn''t choose her either if it were you. If we value family background..."


    Royce didn''t go on, because this was actually the crux of the whole matter. But Presley had already


    announced that he would call a shareholders’ meeting to confirm the next chairman, and the news


    had already spread. He couldn''t take it back.


    Robin wouldn''t miss such a rare opportunity. He just hoped that he wouldn''t do anything irreversible


    for the position of chairman. Thinking about this, Royce’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his face


    showed a serious expression.


    Addie left, and Elizabeth instructed Marina to take good care of Presley.


    Now only Presley was left in the living room, his face serious, sitting alone on the couch. He looked


    angry, but more than that, he looked lonely. This Presley, sitting alone in the empty living room,


    looked rather pitiful and sad.


    Marina sighed silently, shaking her head in her heart.


    Why be so stubborn? Wasn''t the happiness of the child the most important thing?


    With the greatest doctors and the best medicine, Wendy stayed at home for a few days and her


    wounds finally healed.


    There was still a lot of attention on her outside, so she couldn''t go out casually. But counting the


    days, the international makeuppetition was about to start.


    She got the news that a makeup artist named Miles would represent Starlight International in the


    competition, and his model was Katie, the daughter of the Higgins family.


    Jacob came to visit her with Beverly. Wendy asked him nervously, "Do you think we can win this


    competition?"


    Jacob looked at Beverly and smiled, "Don''t worry. This is also an importantpetition for me, and


    I''m confident we can win!"


    Wendy took in Jacob''s confident expression and raised an eyebrow slightly, "What makes you so


    confident? I heard that you used some tricks to prevent your friend from participating in the


    competition. Is it really okay to let him participate in such an importantpetition?"


    Jacob sneered, "Tricks? I just put some pressure on him. If he can''t handle that, then this industry


    isn’t for him. Survival of the fittest has always been the rule."


    Beverly standing next to him didn''t show any reaction upon hearing Jacob''s words. Because she


    agreed with Jacob''s point of view. So, even though she knew Jacob had used some tricks to


    prevent Miles from participating in thepetition, she still thought it was normal.


    Every industry was about survival of the fittest, whether it was her entertainment industry or the


    fashion industry.


    Some behind-the-scenes maneuvers were practically an open secret. If they didn''t understand


    these maneuvers, they couldn''t seed based solely on passion, dreams, and hard work.


    Jacob was full of confidence, but remembering the lesson from fashion week, Wendy asked one


    more question, “Can you tell me why you''re so confident?"


    Jacob smiled, a particrly leisurely ease in his demeanor, “You''ll understand the day after


    tomorrow. Will youe to the scene?"


    Wendy gave Jacob a two-second stare-down, but seeing no hint of nervousness or unease on his


    face, she suddenly broke into a grin. “Alright. Don’t let me down, okay?"


    The buzz from the engagement party a few days ago was still in the air, and her showing up now


    was undoubtedly a bit of a gamble. Everything hinged on Jacob pulling off a win and stealing the


    spotlight.


    And to top it off, the sight of Chloe and Starlight International in such a sorry state was just


    attractive.


    Just for that alone, she had to see it with her own eyes!
