Chapter 241

Harper

Everyone in the room was waiting for me to say something as they were curious, espesially Veronica

“What does it say?” she asked.

I opened my mouth, closed it and opened it again, but nothing came out.

My reaction made my father chuckle softly. “Looks like I underestimated how shocking if would be.”

“This this can’t be real.” I finally managed to say while staring at him.

“It is he replied.

I stood up again, like that would help me process everything better.

Maddox stood up as well and approached me. He was clearly trying to remain calm, but I could see the concern on his fa

Before he even stood right next to me, I slowly turned the document toward him. His expression changed the moment his eyes landed on the page. His concern disappeared, then came surprise and everyone immediately noticed.

Even my sister rose from her seat. “What is it?”

Maddox looked at my father, then back at me, but he chose not to say anything like he didn’t want to be the one to say in

My father calmly crossed one leg over the other and intertwined his fingers. Then with a proud smile, he said, “Like I said before. I thought long and hard about this. As of today, Harper, that company, along with all those shares, belong to you.”

“What company?” Veronica asked, her eyes narrowing with panic.

With no hesitation, my father said. “Protocol 8 Technologies”

Several gasps could be heard in the room right after he said that.

Judging by the document in my hand, that was one of the Beauregard Group’s largest technology companies.

“What?” Uncle Hank said with heartfelt laughter.

Several people spoke after him, each of them saying something different, but I barely heard any of idas I just stared at my

“I don’t understand” I said to him.

10 m2 be said with confidence.

Just then Veronaca laughed sharply “Landon you really transferred an entire company and not just any company want an explanation from your father carmth that had begun to built up it the room disappeared cute lier fury, wy.father remained calm and said, “I don’t need to explain this to you right now.”

“You absolutely do. I never knew that after so many people worked their entire lives for this empire, you would turn it into some charity.”

I shouldn’t have expected anything different from her, but hearing her say that in front of everyone made me look down.

“This isn’t some charity,” my father said to her. Harper is my daughter. Even if she were to show up thirty years from now, she’d still be my first born child.”

“You know what?” She got up and roughly fixed her dress. “I can’t sit here and risten to this.”

And with that, she stormed out of the room.

A few seconds later, a door slammed somewhere in the house.

The room fell silent and I just stared at the document for a bit too long.

It was only when Maddox gently touched my shoulder that I looked up at him.

“Hey, are you okay?”

I parted my lips to speak, but nothing came out because the truth was I didn’t know. I wasn’t upset, happy, scared or excited. I just couldn’t explain it,

He took the document from my shaking hands, then gently pulled me down so I could sit with him.

We sat so close that our shoulders touched and apart from that, he placed his hand on top of mine. It was at that moment realized just how much I needed that.

He was still holding the document in his other hand and I looked back at it, still unable to believe it.

Just when I thought the mood wouldn’t change again, Uncle Hank broke the silence first when he congratulated me much enthusiasm. He was followed by my Aunt Rachel and my cousins clapped.

“She’ll learn.” The certainty in his voice surprised me.

That just made Veronica laugh bitterly. “She should’ve never come here. In fact, I think she should leave now that she got what she wanted.”

“Don’t you dare. My daughter isn’t going anywhere. The news about today will spread fast and you’re going to have to ge used to that.”

I suddenly heard movement coming towards the other end of the hallway and it made my eyes widen. The last thing I wanted was to get caught, so I quickly moved away before anyone could catch me listening.

I thought I was fast enough when walking, but I quickly learned that whoever had been coming behind me had already sec

“Harper!” Trina called out to me, the friendliness in her tone making me rol my eyes before turning around.

I stopped in my tracks and looked back at her. She was approaching fast while smiling at me and that should’ve made me feel comfortable, but it didn’t because I had been getting strange vibes from her ever since I arrived. That smile changed nothing.

“Hey,” she said when she was close enough. “Where are you going?”

“I just needed some air,” I said.

“I can understand after what happened back there.” She laughed. “I have to admit, I’m shocked that on your first day at this estate, you’ve already been given such huge shoes to fill.”

Ilightly shook my head. “I wasn’t expecting it either.”

“Obviously,” She smiled again and it didn’t reach her eyes. “I mean running a company isn’t exactly easy, but I have actual experience. I’ve been involved in the business world for years now. You definitely need help. That’s why I’m here to guide

The offer sounded polite, but something about it felt condescending, like she was reminding me that she thought she was more qualified. Maybe she was, but didn’t have the energy to care, not after everything that had happened.

So, I managed to smile as I said, “I appreciate it, but I’m already covered when it comes to that.”

“Oh…”

Her smile faded slightly because I wasn’t reacting the way she had hoped.

And with that, I walked past her before she could continue the conversation.

I didn’t even bother to look back at her as I had so much running through my mind about that day, especially the company and shares. Of all the questions I had, there was one that I struggled to answer. Was I going to accept what tny father had given to me so easily?
