Love Drug Novel

Chapter 132 A Resignation Finished Harvey sensed Summers eyes on his injury and assumed she was mocking him .

He turned away , anger simmering , but remembering Frasers brutal beating , he swallowed his retort , Jasper greeted her with a warm smile .

Summer , why not rest longer ? Youre back 50 soon .

Jasper bristled at his fathers doting tone .

Dad , you said Summer and I would compete fairly for the vice chairman position , Times up .

Harvey thought to himself .

With Summer absent , Id worked hard to win over the companys veterans and boost my performance .

Summer sat down on the sofa , raised an eyebrow .

Jasper mused , Given Summers recent leave , its fair to extend the competition by another quafer Harvey objected , So what if she was resting ? I worked through my injury .

Shes just fragile ! My performance is higher , the jvice chairman spot should be mine .

Harvey continued .

Dad , you cant ignore your own son just because youre cautious of the Graham heir ! Jasper barked , Watch your tongue , you brat ! Summer smirked from the sofa .

She knew Jaspers favoritism stemmed not from affection but from her tie to Frater , a connection more valuable than family to him .

Harvey pressed on , Dad , youre the chairman .

You cant break your word , itll be a laughingstock .

He sneered at Summer and said , Besides , shes latched onto the Graham tree .

She probably doesnt care about a petty vice chairman role .

Harvey thought to himself , The vice chairman position was a steppingstone to chairman , and as the eldest son , I wouldnt let Summer claim Stewart Group .

Summer observed his flushed face .

She thought to herself , I revealed the 80 % stake document , Id become the largest shareholder , effectively owning the company .

But that meant accepting Madam Grahams deal Clutching the file , she finally spoke .

Im here to resign .

Ill handle the handover and finish by months end .

Jasper froze .

He thought to himself .

If Summer left , the Graham connection , and a potential 14 billion investment , would vanish .

I couldnt allow it * Summer , youre a Stewart .

The mall is partly yours .

Leaving now will only worsen the rumors .

I wont permit it ! Jasper said .

Summer stood and replied , Im informing you , not asking .

Your approval doesnt matter .

She thought to herself , Id once fought for their acceptance , but now Stewart Group to me is just a mismatched job .

Jasper shouted after her , Summer ..

youre defying your father ! Harvey scoffed and said , Dad , let her go .

You still have me .

Jasper smacked his head .

What do you know ? Can you snag a Havenbrook heiress ? The Grahams are a century old dynasty worth hundreds of billions .

If Frasers willing , the Stewart family could become top one of Havenbrook .

Without Summer .

why would he bother with us ? Back in her office , Summer began wrapping up her work .

She thought to herself, Each file represented years of late nights and effort to rise from the bottom to director , all to earn my parents approval , a futile chase .

Now , it was done .

Their validation meant nothing anymore .

Instead of fighting for a role in someone elses empire , Chapter 132 A Resignation
