The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride novel Chapter 1619

Chapter 1619

"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’"b2 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.

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?"

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 revolye 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.
