“What does that mean? If it’s true, are they indirectly admitting that Royce has passed away?”

“Probably. Only after his death would the old man have the power to distribute these idle shares.”

“So who’s the old man planning to distribute these stocks to?”

“Who knows? Let’s wait and see who’s attending the shareholders‘ meeting. Maybe the old man will have a change

of heart and give the shares back to the CEO But let’s see if he shows up today.”

A crowd of people with cameras waited at the entrance, watching the comings and goings of the company

employees. They had done their homework on who the major and minor shareholders of the Harper Group were,

but in the end, they didn’t see Damon or even Nathan The last shareholder to appear was Yasmine, who had just

received a small amount of shares.c2

The reporters swarmed around her

“Madam Yasmine, what are your thoughts on this shareholders meeting regarding the Harper Group’s stock

allocation?”

“We heard it’s about reallocating Mr. Royce’s shares, is that true?”

“Do you think there will be any changes in the Harper Group’s top management after this shareholders meeting?”

Yasmine s expression and tone were as calm as ever.

“Idle gossip There won’t be any changes”

Her succinct response left the reporters somewhat embarrassed.

“So is the Harper family indirectly admitting that Royce and his wife are likely deceased?”

Yasmine. “My last name isn’t Harper. I don’t know about such internal matters

“Who do you think Mr Royce’s shares will likely be allocated to?”

Yasmine showed impatience, “I hope it’s me.”

Such a direct response, but everyone could tell that she was clearly impatient. Given her contentious relationship

with the Harper family patriarch, this was not even a possibility

Yasmine’s words, coupled with the cold and distant aura she exuded, made them all tactfully step aside.

Only after Yasmine had entered the building did the reporters sigh.

“True to her relation with Ms Summers, their aura is simply powerful

“Yeah, there’s just something about them that’s so captivating”

True, they do have royal blood”

In the top–floor conference room, the shareholders began to take their seats one after another. Even the

company’s top executives were present, the conference room that could accommodate nearly dozens of people

still seemed somewhat empty.

Yasmine found a seat nearby and quietly listened to the surrounding shareholders and executives discussing

“Is Damon not coming today? His shares haven’t been formally transferred, right?”

“But Nathan isn’t here either, I heard that today they re distributing the shares held by Royce, if the two sons aren’t

here, where will these shares go?”

“Who do you think is arranging this shareholders‘ meeting?”

You mean Mr Robin? But he’s already the largest shareholder in the Group”

“But in terms of actual exercise of power, he doesn’t have much. Grabbing more shares is like flexing his muscles.

Besides, who ever has too much money? These are shares of the Harper Group. Don’t you want them?”

“You’re dreaming

“It seems that this shareholders‘ meeting is also a complete recognition of Mr. Robin. As for the Harpers, I really

don’t know where they’ll go in the future”

“But did Royce really die?”

“Sigh. Otherwise these shares wouldn’t be idle.”

Yasmin listened from the side, a faint smile tugging at her lips

Not long after, Robin and Presley appeared in the conference room. They each had different expressions as they

surveyed the room. The old man was huffing and puffing, sitting in the main seat with a grim expression

Fortunately, everyone was used to his usual demeanor Even the company’s veterans had rarely seen the old man

smile in several decades.

Upon closer examination, aside from Robin, there weren’t many people in the Harper family who greeted others

with a smile every day. It seemed like a competition, each colder than the last

The meeting time had arrived, and Presley sat in the main seat, silent for nearly ten minutes, with no movement at

the conference room door

Robin sneered inwardly, unsure who the old man was stubbornly waiting for “Dad, it’s time to start.”

Presley couldn’t find any fault with Robin. He pursed his lips and slowly began to speak

“We have two matters for today’s meeting. First, the redistribution of shares, and second, the comprehensive

forecast and ranking analysis before the Global Economic Summit.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

The Global Economic Summit was indeed the top priority. The world ranking was undoubtedly the most

authoritative endorsement. It was also the most direct way to demonstrate the Harper family’s pivotal position

internationally

The Harpers had been leading the way in the previous years. But in recent years, being pushed off the top spot was

both regrettable and reluctant for

them

“Let’s first look at the Global Economic Summit, and roughly estimate the Harper Group’s overall performance this

year. What position do we expect to hold in various rankings? Also, what other companies might make the list”

“We’ve already made a rough estimate with the appraisers, as of last month, the Harper family’s total income has

grown by five percentage points compared to last year Amongst the many international corporations, we can

definitely hold a leading position.”

The old man’s expression finally improved a little. Very good. What rank do we expect to achieve?”

“Well, it’s tough to say as Obsidian has been dominating the field for the past few years. Besides, they’re

notoriously secretive, so it’s impossible to dig up much information, let alone exact figures. But they’re either the

first or the second, no doubt about it

As Presley’s expression grew tenser, the top executive in the room wisely chose not to continue speaking.

“Which companies might show up at this year’s international summit?”

The executive’s face started to bead with sweat. He glanced at Yasmine, who had remained silent throughout, and

cleared his throat.

The corporate rankings might include Peck Innovations from P City the Witt family from R City. In terms of individual

wealth, aside from our own Harper chairman, there’s the head of the Tretton family, the Witt family, and Ms.

Yasmine. Ms. Summers. These are all givens.”

Givens, which meant they must be ranked highly

The sudden emergence of new faces was likely to be the focus of attention, which would undoubtedly revolve

around Yasmine and Chloe. Presley’s face remained gloomy, and Robin’s gaze floated to Yasmine, who had yet to

utter a word. His expression was grim
