The Heiress Strikes Back-Chapter 11
11 Stand Out
Madam Harris was a little surprised. She didn’t expect her second son-Zachary, who was the first person to get involved with the construction industry-to not happily accept this task and instead say such discouraging words.
Zachary felt even worse. The opportunity to inherit the family business was right in front of him, but he could only let it slip by. However, this was an impossible task as he had a close relationship with the Carter Group.
Perhaps the Sullivan Group would chase him out upon hearing his name. At that time, if he were to offend the Sullivan Group like the Carter Group had, he would be the one losing face instead.
Looking at how the Carter Group was being ridiculed, Zachary decided that he wouldn’t agree to this matter no matter what.
Gazing at Zachary, Madam Harris shook her head helplessly before asking, “What about the others? Could it be that none of the Harris family’s children can stand up now?”
Sharon gently tugged at her significant other’s sleeve and said softly, “Why don’t you give it a try? I think you can!”
Wallace rubbed his thumb and index finger together. “No, the Sullivan Group won’t collaborate with a start-up company like us.” 𝒇𝙧𝐞ℯ𝒘e𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝐞𝑙. c𝐨m
“I think you can definitely negotiate this collaboration successfully. Why don’t you give it a try?” Sharon’s eyes flashed with anticipation for her husband.
Seeing his wife suddenly become so interested, Wallace couldn’t help but ask, “Really?”
Sharon smiled and nodded vigorously. She said confidently, “I have confidence in you. You will definitely succeed.”
Wallace didn’t expect Sharon to be so sure that he would succeed. He didn’t know how to respond.
Sharon covered his hand excitedly. “Believe me! I think there’s no problem with you at all! You can only realize your dreams by seizing this opportunity. Nobody in the family will dare to harm you then.”
She knew that her spouse rarely fired old employees, but Madam Harris wasn’t that kind of person. As long as there were new people, old employees would be fired no matter how loyal they were.
This was another matter that probably only Wallace would have the chance to investigate after he assumed the position of president.
For some reason, Wallace believed her words. He raised his hand and stood up. “Grandma, leave this to me. I want to give it a try.”
Wallace’s words shocked everyone. Is he crazy? Even if it is to please Grandma, it shouldn’t be at this time! Isn’t there only one way out for him after saying something like this?
Zachary and Louis’s family were delighted to hear about this. He is a stubborn person who insists on doing these things. Why should we stop him?
The Sullivan Group was the biggest company in New York; they wouldn’t have their eyes on a small project that the Harris Group initiated. No matter who tried to negotiate for them, they would never succeed.
Louis couldn’t help but mock, “Brother, have you been infected by that stupid wife of yours? You actually think you can get the opportunity to collaborate with them?”
Nicole also sneered. “I wonder what identity Big Brother is going to use to bid for it? If you use the Harris Group’s name, you’ll cause us to lose face. It might not be worth it for us.”
When Zachary heard this, he quickly echoed, “That’s right! If you’re chased out by the Sullivan Group, we’ll become a laughingstock like the Carter Group.”
“Zachary, don’t worry. I have confidence in this matter, and I will definitely make the appropriate arrangements. As for the other matters, since I’ve stood up, I already have plans. Everyone, don’t worry. I won’t give outsiders the chance to mock our family.”
Actually, Wallace had his own plans. Since Sharon isn’t valued at home, I will have the right to tell them not to target her if I can assume a position of power. Most importantly, Sharon can straighten her back and gain our parents’ approval.
However, he didn’t expect so many people to look down on him-this made him a little dazed.
Wallace glanced at Sharon, who was beside him. I must’ve been bewitched by her just now, so I stood up inexplicably. Now that things have come to this, I can only brace myself and go forward. Perhaps good luck will really come to me.
What they didn’t expect was for Madam Harris to look at Nicole angrily. “What does a little girl like you know?”
I asked several times just now, but nobody came forward. Finally, my eldest grandson-who I think has a slight chance of winning the bid-stood up. This group of people is dampening his enthusiasm!
