Chapter 1299
Presley was staring at Chloe, thinking that she seemed a bit off. “What are you doing here?” His
face was still dark, his voice cold.
Chloe slightly tugged at the corner of her mouth, standing in front of Presley, calmly looked at him,
and slowly said, “Isn’t this what you’ve been expecting?”
Presley narrowed his eyes, staring at her, his deep gaze seemingly trying to see right through her.
After a while, he snorted coldly and jerked his chin towards the empty seat across from him. “Sit
down.”
Chloe sat down as told, smiling at Presley.
“I hope you didn’te here for nothing.” Presley stared back at her.
Chloe smiled faintly. “Presley, Damon and I are married, remember?”
Presley frowned tightly. “It seems you’re not here topromise. You think marrying into the Harper
family gives you a free pass?”
Chloe shook her head with a smile, reached for the cup on the table, and poured Presley a ss of
water. Then she poured a ss for herself, took a sip, and said, “Presley, I’m not at ease”
She slowly said, “I worry all the time that my husband will be forced to leave me without knowing
why.”
She had encountered almost all the weird people and things in this world. Who would worry about
their husband leaving them unknowingly? Even at her wedding, the bride–to–be was almost
reced by another woman.
“if you always worry about being left, why not leave yourself?” Presley asked.
Chloe frowned. “Why should I?”
She looked at the old man in confusion, her voice slow and clear, her attitude firm. “Leave so
Wendy can take the position of Harper family’s daughter–inw?”
Hearing this, Presley sneered, “Who do you think is more suitable to be the Harper family’s
daughter–inw?”
Chloe smiled, leaning slightly in her chair. “I am, of course!”
Presley’s mouth twitched. “…You’re shameless.”
Chloe raised an eyebrow, eyes filled with amusement. “Isn’t it up to Damon to decide? Presley, the
question now isn’t whether I’m suitable, but…”
Chloe looked up, her smile growing wider. “I am now the daughter–inw of the Harper family.”
Presley’s face darkened instantly, his patience gradually weating thin.
“What are you really here for?”
Hearing this, Chloe’s smile slowly faded. Her beautiful face gradually lost its warmth, her voice
bing serious.
“I’m here because of the rumors about the Harper family.”
Presley snorted. “ording to what you just said, there’s nothing left to discuss. You either leave
Damon, or he might lose his position, whether as the chairman or CEO. Don’t you love him?
Because of your stubbornness, are you willing to watch Damon lose everything?”
Chloe slowly blinked, picked up the ss of water on the table, took a small sip, then turned to look
out the window at the sunny sky, smiling faintly.
“In order to secure the family business, a married man has to marry another family’s daughter…
abandoning his wife and recing her with a rich and beautiful! bride, the heir to the Harper Group,
has be a traitor. This headline would certainly draw a lot of attention.”
Presley’s face darkened again, his eyes narrowing. “Are you threatening me?”
Chloeughed softly, turning back to Presley. “Isn’t it the truth?”
Chloe put the water ss to her lips, then suddenly smiled. “This suggestion does sound…
embarrassing.”
“The Harper Group, has to secure its position by marrying into the Alonso family, it seems, the
Harper Group is just so–so?”
Presley’s eyebrows furrowed, he paused with the cup in his hand, then mmed it down on the
table. “What do you know?!”
With a loud noise, Presley’s deep voice seemed to fill the entire study. “What does the Alonso
family have to do with the Harper family? And what does it have to do with you? I raised Wendy,
and even if she’s been a bit aggressivetely, it’s because she likes Damon! You im you like
Damon, but what have you done for him? “The Harper family might be okay without the Alonso
family, but if the Alonso family bes our enemy, do you know how much effort the Harper family
will have to put in? With that effort, I could do a lot more. Have you ever considered the trouble
you’ve caused the Harper family?”
After Presley finished his rant, Chloe’s expression didn’t change.
Seeing her unmoved, Presley’s chest ached with anger. “I haven’t done anything for Damon, but if I
agree to leave him, it will definitely hurt him.”
Chloe gently put the cup on the table, then calmly said, “As for whether I’ve burdened the Harper
family…” Chloe suddenly sneered. “It’s just the Alonso family, I can cause its destruction if I want
to! Tell me, the future head of the Alonso family you watched grow up, what kind of person is she?
if the Alonso family ended up in Wendy’s hands, their downfall is just in a matter of time. The Alonso
family would let Wendy tarnish their reputation over and over again without stepping in, not even
taking a stand with the Harper family, for what reason?
“If Wendy doesn’t marry into the Harper family, who’s gonna help her secure the foundation of the
Alonso family?
“A shaky family like that, and you’re scared, Presley? I really doubt it. If it weren’t for the Harper
family’s vast and stable business, would the Harper Group have already copsed in your hands?”
The chairman of the Harper Group was supposed to be a king of the business world, but his mind
was so narrow. He couldn’t even take criticism.
“You… you’re totally out of line!”

Being questioned by a naive little girl about his capabilities seriously hurt his dignity What she was
implying was that if it weren’t for the Harper family’s massive business, he probably wouldn’t be able
to handle his own extravagant spending?
Being an adult but having not achieved anything, would make anyone feel angry and ashamed.
Chloe raised an eyebrow. “I’m here today because you wanted to see me, so here I am. The real
agenda of this meeting is, whether you admit it or not, I am Mrs.
Harper! This is a fact that will never change. So, I sincerely hope that at the shareholders‘ meeting,
you’ll support Damon.”
Since she was here, it would be a waste not to fight for it.
“Of course, if you choose not to support us in the end, that’s okay too. Damon and I won’t starve to
death!”
