The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1639

The old man was genuinely drained of his patience by the back–to–back news in the last couple of days. The outcome of this year’s International Summit had become a foregone conclusion. Another year of being trampled by Obsidian Group, how could he possibly find

humor in the situation?

Robin’s face turned a shade of steel blue, an ironic smile creeping onto his face after a few seconds. “Indeed, who’s to blame for the current state of affairs?”

The old man’s gaze hardened, “You…”

“If it were my elder brother, or Damon standing here today, would you still have this attitude?” The words slipped from the old man’s mouth before he could stop them, “If it were them, none of this would have happened. Obsidian hasn’t been as blatantly targeting the Harper family for the past couple of years as they have been recently. You owe me an explanation, why did they steer clear of the Harper family before your tenure, but started gunning for us as soon as you took over?“c2

“So that’s your reasoning for treating me this way? Without any evidence, I’m to blame for the unprovoked attack? Then why did you hand the Harper family over to me in the first place? It’s because nobody else wanted it. You never intended to let me manage the Harper family, it was just that your precious investment was snubbed by everyone else. Your strategy backfired and you had no choice but to hand the company over to me. At the end of the day, who’s the real culprit behind the company’s current state?”

The straw that broke the camel’s back was often the accumulated stress. It was common knowledge that Robin had been under a lot of pressure recently. The words he spouted now were a clear sign of venting.

Presley was taken aback by Robin’s words. He furrowed his brow, looking at him. incredulously. He opened his mouth, but no words came out. Not because he had nothing to say, but because Robin’s words were irrefutable. He truly never intended to hand the company over to anyone other than Damon. Little did he expect that Damon would actually give up the company for a woman.

After his outburst, Robin fell silent for a moment, suddenly covering his face with his hand and rubbing it in a distressed manner. “I apologize, Dad I’ve been emotionally unstable due to the recent turn of events I didn’t foresee the sudden crisis in the company either I want the company to thrive under my leadership and earn the respect of others, Most importantly, I hope I can gain your approval. No one wants to see the Harper family succeed more than I

do.”

The old man’s slightly parted lips closed, his furrowed brow gradually relaxing. He believed Robin’s words Neither of them wanted to see the company in this state After all, no matter what, the company was in his hands now. Any mishap would fall on him to resolve He let out a heavy sigh, “Alright, I was too prejudiced. But have we truly found no reason? Why did
