Robin's face took on a serious expression.

"While you're busy charming women, have you given any thought to your missing parents and where they might be?

"Instead of managing Ms. Summers’ company and dedicating time and energy to dealing with those who merely uttered a few harmless insults, shouldn't you allocate some of that time to searching for your own parents? If they're alive, you should be looking for them. And if, by any chance, they've passed away, shouldn't you be thinking about handling their affairs?

“I know that these may not be the most pleasant words, but I'll leave it at that. Whatever you choose to do, I hope you won't be led astray by some woman."b2 A cool light flickered in the depths of Damon's eyes.

Chloe, who was indirectly being labeled as a seductress, didn't seem to be bothered at all.

“Robin, are you belittling women with what you just said? I have my own company and my own career. Damon's helping me manage my business. What do you mean by saying he's being led astray by me? Are you saying my business is not important?"

“Working for a woman, do you think that's something to be proud of?!" This time it wasn't Robin who spoke, but Presley, who had been standing quietly by the side. The voice was extremely loud and didn't consider the feelings of those present at all.

Chloe's expression darkened, "What do you mean, working for me? Grandpa, watch your words. Yes, Damon left the Harper Group, but that doesn’t mean that the Harper Group was his only path to success. If you don't understand the concept of not underestimating others, I suggest you take a

look at Wendy, who once flaunted her status as the heiress of the Alonso family in front of me, and see where she is now. The Harper family may be powerful, but don't think you're irreplaceable. Don’t look down on others just because you're one of the Harpers."

Chloe's words were equally merciless. In her eyes, the old man had completely crossed the line. Even for an ordinary man, being criticized like that was a severe blow to their dignity, let alone for someone like Damon, who was born under a lucky star. She could not accept that anyone could use such words to describe him.

Presley was so angry that he trembled, pointing at Chloe he stuttered, “You...you..."

“And another thing.” Chloe interjected coldly, “What's mine is Damon's. There's no such thing as working for each other."

"I know that since you've successfully removed him from the Harper family, you wouldn't want to keep a potential threat around. Don't worry, he has no intention of starting from scratch. If you really want to suppress him, my Starlight International, and all the enterprises under my name, they will all be his weapons. We're ready for battle, prepared for any challenge."

Outside the hotel, in the chilly wind, there was a moment of silence. Her firm and resolute words echoed, leaving everyone speechless.

Daring to openly challenge the Harper family? Not many people would have the courage to say such a thing.

Presley, trembling with rage, stared at Chloe, his finger shaking uncontrollably. "Fine. Good. Ready for battle, huh? Since you're so audacious, I'll let you have your way."

Chloe's lips curled into a smirk. She stood tall, her chin slightly lifted, exuding an air of calm defiance.

"We're ready anytime."

Robin's gaze on Chloe grew colder, his doubts and questions deepening. He was having a hard time finding a legitimate way to deal with Damon, but Chloe's actions today seemed to play right into his hands.

However, something didn't feel right. There was a shadow flickering in his mind, elusive and intangible.

He looked at Damon, who had remained silent, and sighed regretfully. “Damon, I just wanted to remind you of your current priorities. I meant no harm. Are you just going to let Ms. Summer have her way?"

Damon lazily looked up at him, “Isn't that what you wanted?"

Robin frowned, “What do you mean by that?"

Damon pulled Chloe closer, adjusting her down jacket to keep her warm, and spoke in an indifferent tone, "Since you've gone to great lengths to become the chairman of the Harper Group, would you willingly give up your position for me?"

Robin fell silent. So did Presley. He lowered his pointing hand, resting it on his cane. He shifted his gaze back to Damon, "Damon, if you really are competent, you wouldn't need to rely on a woman to achieve something. Was your so-called plan to bring down the Harper family all about using her?"

“Of course not."

Presley nodded, "Good. For now, I'll take your word for it. The Harper Group is there for the taking. Let's see how you plan to reclaim it"

Damon finally held Chloe closer, his indifferent eyes fixed on the old man. “You're wrong. There's no reclaiming, only destroying."

The old man's eyes widened in an instant, and his body, supported by a cane, staggered sharply for a few moments. “What did you say?!"

"Do you think you own the Harper family? For all these years, it's been the family that has been ruling you. My father, my mother, Nathan, even I, how much we have endured and sacrificed because of your obsession with the family, which you regard more important than anything else. It's high time the family was obliterated. Take a good look at how much it has buried."

As Damon said these words, Presley's lips trembled violently. His face was filled with anger.

A chill inevitably swept over Chloe's heart. The usually taciturn man, speaking these words in front of so many people, was still hoping for a chance to see the old man wake up. But the anger on Presley's face was enough to prove that he was not moved by Damon's words. Instead, his whole body was filled with resistance.

Perhaps this man, who spent most of his life in the Harper family, constantly receiving praise and obedience, couldn't tolerate anyone challenging him. How could his character of so many years be overturned by a few words or a few days?

Damon probably saw the silent answer given by the old man. Holding Chloe, he stepped down the stairs.

The old man's voice echoed heavily behind them - “Without the Harper family, I'd like to see what achievements you can make."
