Chapter 50:
Hearing Elyse express the same sentiment as her, Samira felt a surge of confidence.
“Elyse is right. Elena is creating problems for everyone. If you don’t do something about her, Alexander, the Harper family will be in constant chaos.” Pointing decisively at the unresponsive Bertha, Samira added, “Bertha remains unconscious, yet you still refuse to hold her accountable?”
Stepping up, Alexander and Jolie formed a barrier in front of Elena. Confronted with the allegations, Alexander said, “If my mother does not recover, I will step down as CEO of the Harper Group.”
Everyone present, not just Samira, was left in shock.
The CEO of Harper Group—a role that many could only dream of—was he truly willing to give it up so easily?
Unexpectedly, Phil found himself caught in the whirlwind of drama.
Yet, they had all been mistaken in their assumptions about Elena.
She was none other than the apprentice of the legendary Healer!
Did they truly understand just how remarkable Elena was?
“Mr. Harper…” Phil attempted to reassure that Bertha would wake up soon, only to be cut off.
“Alexander, are you seriously considering resigning from your CEO position?” Samira questioned.
She couldn’t contain her delight upon realizing the implications. If Alexander stepped down, Vince would likely ascend to CEO, positioning her as the wife of the CEO.
Such a role would grant her significant influence within the Harper family.
Initially aiming for just five percent of the company shares for Elyse, she now saw a path to potentially gaining everything.
The ambition in Samira’s eyes was evident; she awaited Alexander’s immediate resignation.
In earlier times, Alexander had regarded Samira with admiration, assuming her lack of interest in the company meant she was deferential rather than greedy; today, however, she revealed her true colors.
Without Elena’s intervention, he might never have discovered the ambition hidden within Vince and his family.

With a detached look, Alexander merely glanced at her and remained silent.
Instead, he turned and asked, “Elena, did your treatment succeed?”
Elena felt an unexpected confidence from her father.
Was he not concerned about the stakes of this gamble?
What if she turned out to be a fraud?
In that instant, Elena began to embrace both Alexander and Jolie wholeheartedly.
Her nature had always been aloof, keeping a cool distance and placing trust sparingly.
Once someone earned her acceptance, however, she proved nurturing and forgiving.
Elena had once played a pivotal role in establishing the Reed Group with Benjamin and Cecily.
Had they not overstepped their bounds, she might never have severed those connections.
