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
Obsidian suddenly start giving the Harper family a hard time?”
Robin shook his head, “I don’t believe I’ve offended anyone. I’ve spoken with people from Obsidian, but
they gave no concrete reason. It’s probably because of the Global Economic Summit, I guess. If they
want to get ahead of the Harper family again, the quickest and most effective way would be to directly
target the Harper family and suppress our economic growth.”
Presley nodded solemnly. After much thought, that seemed to be the only plausible explanation.
And it was an explanation both father and son tacitly agreed on. It was a convenient way to suppress
the unwelcome thought lurking at the back of their minds. Once both men had somewhat calmed down,
Presley spoke up again. “What about Damon? Why haven’t we heard from him lately?”
Robin’s eyebrow twitched, “He’s not in P City at the moment.”
Presley frowned, “Where is he then? Doesn’t he know about the crisis the company is going through?
He used to manage the company, how can he just sit back and watch?!”
Robin let out a barely perceptible scoff, “I suppose he’s quite pleased with the situation.”
Presley fell silent at once.
“That heartless rascal!”
Robin didn’t want to discuss Damon with Presley, especially when it was clear he was considering
bringing Damon back to clean up the mess. Rising from his seat, he said coldly. “All we can do now is
minimize the damage. As for this year’s International Summit, I think..
He paused, deliberately sidestepping the topic, “Last time, Obsidian’s people mentioned that their CEO
will personally attend this year’s International Summit. I think it would be wise to meet with him and
have a direct conversation about what might happen in the future.”
Presley’s eyes narrowed, “He’s attending this year?”
That man was never seen at any of the previous summits.
“Yes, he will be attending.”
Presley’s expression darkened, “Looks like I’ll have to make an appearance at the International Summit
this year, no matter what.”
The news that the CEO of Obsidian Group would be personally attending the International Summit this
year spread like wildfire the next day.
Obsidian Group had always maintained a low profile. In the past, every mention of the company
required some explanation before people would have an ‘aha‘ moment. But this time, with Obsidian
Group’s head–on clash with the Harper family, their name was on
everyone’s lips. And the fact that they were attending the International Summit was an even

bigger bombshell for those in the know.
“There’s so much drama this year, it’s non–stop.”
Everyone agreed with this.
“Ms. Summers has had one good show after another, and there’s the Princess’s coronation on New
Year’s Day.”
“Then it’s the Global Economic Summit after the New Year. Ms. Summers is definitely attending, and
now with the mysterious and low–key Obsidian, this lineup is unbeatable”
“Looking forward to it. This year is going to be eventful.”
In this era of internet and social media, any piece of news was virtually instantaneously broadcasted.
The speed was amazing, the coverage was extensive, and even if you want to know, you couldn’t avoid
it.
In his study, Robin watched the flurry of news with a cold gaze. First, there was Chloe, then the
Obsidian Corporation. All of them weighing heavily on his shoulders. He disconnected from his mobile
network, tapped open his contact list, and finally paused on a familiar
name. After a few moments of hesitation, he dialed the number.
A few seconds later, the call connected and a familiar female voice came through. “Hello?”
He was silent for a few seconds before speaking in a cold tone, “Damon’s not in P City right now Are
we supposed to wait for him to return before making a move?”
There was silence on the other end of the line for a moment. “I’ll give them another push. They are so
useless.”
Chloe was being treated like a giant baby by Elizabeth in Greenfield Village. In just a few days, she felt
a slight bulge forming in her stomach. She seriously suspected that this wasn’t the babies growing, but
a belly purely formed by eating.
