The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1765

The room was filled with a perplexed silence, underscored by sheer astonishment. They all had a bold suspicion stirring within them. Yet, they dared not believe it

if their suspicions were true, then the recent actions of Presley, from his press conference to deny any relationship with Damon, to his eviction of Damon from the Harper estate, and his constant attempts to publicly ridicule Damon, were all inexplicable

They had heard him accuse Damon of being a penny–pinching gigolo, of being unremarkable, and even of becoming a cuckold’s. He had even demanded that Damon apologize to Mr. Azriel, using the Harper name as a shield

Was it possible Presley was simply ignorant of his grandson’s true identity?

All eyes turned to the second seat on the left, where Presley sat His face was twitching slightly, his gaze shifting rapidly between Damon and Azniel, his expression unreadable Mr Azriel, what is the meaning of this? Have you perhaps taken the wrong seat?” he demanded c2

Azriel gave a polite, nonchalant smile Mr Presley surely you jest. Since I am attending this Global Economic Summit, I certainly wouldn’t be foolish enough to not

know my own seat

Presley’s expression changed dramatically, his hand gripping his walking cane tightly. “What are you implying?” he asked, his voice deadly calm

Azriel simply shook his head, choosing not to answer. He knew that Presley understood the implications, but was simply unwilling to accept them

The room fell into an uncomfortable silence. All eyes turned back to Damon Dressed in a tailored three–piece suit, his posture was impeccable. His hands rested lightly on the edge of the conference table, a diamond–studded cufflink sparkling at his wrist. His demeanor was one of effortless elegance and commanding

presence

His eyes swept over the room, and everyone present felt an involuntary tightening of their muscles, as if they were facing down a loaded gun

Gone was their initial perception of him as a mere gigolo All it took was a change of perspective, and everything was turned on its head.

Even now, they could hardly believe what they were seeing. The man they had dismissed as insignificant, the man they had ridiculed and underestimated, was actually

Damon slowly leaned into the main seat and gracefully took his place.

A few seconds later a deep, icy voice pierced the silence of the mom, transmitted through the hidden microphone on the table. I am Damon, the founder of Obsidian

The room fell into a stunned silence. Despite their earlier suspicions, the confirmation sent shockwaves through the crowd

He wasn’t just the CEO, but also the founder The mastermind behind the number one ranked global enterprise was so young

Presley, too, was taken aback, his eyes widened and his lips trembling “What what did you say?”

Damon glanced at him coldly Tm sorry to disappoint you, but I am indeed capable of supporting myself”

More than just capable

“You’re the founder of Obsidian? Presley asked, shaking his head in disbelief “How is that possible? How could you establish such a large corporation, and ascend to the top of the international market in just a few years? Are you trying to show off in front of me? Do you feel like you’re in a movie? Is this some sort of game to you?

Aznel simply laughed, lounging back in his chair “Mr Presley, you seem to be more willing to believe that I could be the founder of Obsidian than your own grandson” he said. “Isn’t that a strange attitude? I believe you should be well aware of Damon’s capabilities”

Presley’s cane tapped against the conference table, making a “thud thud” sound. He lowered his gaze, his expression inscrutable. Eventually, he let out a bitter laugh. “I see. I see”

It was a joke. He had been the butt of the joke from the very beginning.

No wonder Damon had been able to give up the Harper Group without a second thought, he had bigger fish to fry
