The Heiress Strikes Back

Wallace had already made it very clear that if she continued to keep up a pretense, it would be even more awkward if she asked for a collaboration later on.

Upon hearing Wallace’s words, Zachary and Louis felt terrible. What were we thinking back then? Although the Harris Group can’t compare to the Sullivan Group, it is still considered one of the richest companies in New York. It isn’t impossible for Sullivan to investigate us secretly.

No wonder Wallace could get the contract so easily; it turned out that Sullivan already had a good impression of the Harris Group. Wouldn’t that mean that anyone who went would’ve clinched the deal? We really did miss an excellent opportunity. I hope that Madam Harris won’t really give half of Harris Group to Wallace, or else our future will be tough.

At this moment, Sharon walked up to Nicole. “Nicole, do you still remember our bet?”

Nicole’s expression suddenly changed, and she looked at the other party viciously. How could I forget about the bet? If Wallace didn’t get Sullivan’s collaboration on his own, then Sharon and Wallace would have to divorce. She would also have to kowtow to me three times in front of everyone. Otherwise, I would have to kowtow to Sharon.

Now that Wallace has gotten the contract, doesn’t that mean I lost? Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I’m the granddaughter of the Harris family. How could I kowtow to a sl*t like Sharon? At the thought of this, Nicole raised her chin high and said arrogantly, “Sharon, don’t you know who you are? Our family provides you with food and clothes, and you weren’t any help at all. You still want me to kowtow to you? Are you daydreaming?”

Sharon looked at her matter-of-fact expression. “You’re not going back on your word, are you? I didn’t expect the Harris family’s upbringing to be like this. How interesting. If you say that, I’m worried that what you said yesterday will really come true!”

At this point, Madam Harris seemed to recall something. When they were talking about the bet, that wretched girl seemed to have cursed me. If she really doesn’t fulfill her promise...

Nicole looked at Madam Harris, and sure enough, her expression turned ugly.

“Wretched girl, quickly bow and apologize to Sharon!”

“Didn’t we agree to kowtow? What is happening now? Why has it changed to Nicole bowing after losing?” Sharon stood there and looked at Madam Harris seriously. I have never seen someone so biased.

Nicole panicked. “Grandma, how could you listen to her?! She just wants to embarrass our family and me!”

“Sharon, I’ve already asked Nicole to apologize to you! Don’t be ungrateful.” Madam Harris originally thought that she would just gloss over this matter with a few words, but who knew that Sharon would actually put this matter on the line.

She is really shameless. However, she still remembered Nicole’s oath. If I don’t fulfill the bet, will it really affect me?

Sharon said matter-of-factly, “If I was the one who lost today, won’t I have to kneel down and kowtow to her? And even if you think that it doesn’t matter whether the bet with me is valid or not, are you going to ignore Grandma’s life and death?”

Nicole didn’t expect Sharon to be so unforgiving today and even go at her so aggressively. She quickly said, “Grandma, don’t listen to this woman’s nonsense. You’ll definitely live to a ripe old age.”

Madam Harris’s expression didn’t soften because of Nicole’s explanation. Instead, she stared coldly at the latter.

“Grandma...” Nicole could tell that Madam Harris was really suspicious of her because of this matter. For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.

“Then, do you think I wouldn’t have collaborated with the Sullivan Group from the start?” Wallace suddenly spoke, making Nicole even more speechless. Everyone now knew that Wallace was the biggest contributor to the Harris Group’s project. If she argued with Wallace, it would definitely be hard for her in the future.

“I’m your sister...” Nicole gritted her teeth. “How can you do this for an outsider like her...”

“She’s your sister-in-law, a member of the Harris family.”

“Just do as your older brother says! Don’t talk so much nonsense! I didn’t expect you to break your promise and curse me for the sake of your reputation!” Madam Harris slammed the table angrily, seemingly very displeased with her granddaughter’s actions.

However, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Madam Harris actually didn’t take Sharon and Nicole’s bet to heart. If it weren’t for Wallace standing up for her, this matter probably would’ve been forgotten.
