Chapter 1363

Who wouldn’t want to hear something that sounds so pleasing, right?

A smug grin spread across Wendy’s face. “You’re right, the Chloe of the past can’t hold a candle to me, and the future Chloe won’t stand a chance either.“”

In the living room, Robin carefully brewed a pot of Ceylon tea that Wendy had brought. He poured a cup for Presley and chuckled, “Wendy really has the hots for Damon. If Cole manages to seal this business deal, it’ll be a nice leg–up for the Harper family. The two kids getting together couldn’t be more perfect.”

Presley let out a sigh, “You think I don’t know that? But sometimes Wendy’s antics are just too much. If she ends up with Damon and keeps pulling those stunts, won’t Damon and the Harpers be left embarrassed? The Alonso family is stuck between a rock and a hard place. They need to pass down their empire to her, but she’s just not cut out for business/

“She admitted it herself, that’s why she wants to lean on Damon. If Damon were to take over the Alonso family affairs in the future, there’d be no need for her to step in. Wendy is off to the Y Country for a state dinner in a few days. Given her close ties with Princess Ava and the little princesses of Y Country, she could make things a lot easier for Damon in the future. All things considered, Damon striking it lucky with Wendy is a stroke of good fortune for us Harpers as well.

“Then there’s Ms. Chloe. Smart and cunning she may be, but she’s nothing special. How could she possibly match up to Damon in brains and business acumen? When you weigh it all up, Chloe just doesn’t hold a candle to Wendy.”

Presley nodded seriously, “You hit the nail on the head.”

Robin chuckled, picked up his teacup and took a sip, then quietly waited for Presley’s next words.

Sure enough, it didn’t take long for Presley to speak up, “Let’s not wait for Cole’s return to sort things out.”

After a moment of contemplation, Presley went on, “Let’s set a date for the Board of Directors meeting, including the decision on the chairmanship.”

At this, Robin gently set down his teacup and nodded, “Alright, I’ll get right on it.”

Presley gave a silent nod and Robin stood up to leave with a smile.
