The Heiress Strikes Back

36 The Feast Begins

When Wallace’s family went to eat, someone was very depressed.

Crystal looked at the news from the Sullivan Group, and her expression turned ugly. I thought that the Sullivan Group would never give Wallace a chance to work with them, but they actually let him win the bid. The entire two-billion-dollar project is his now.

She thought back on how she had said that she could help in front of his mother. Who would’ve thought that the Sullivan Group would simply ignore our request to collaborate and transfer the entire two-billion-dollar business to the Harris Group? Isn’t this a slap to my face?

When I stayed the night, I even communicated with Wallace, hoping that we could split the two-billion-dollar project. However, I didn’t expect Wallace to reject me outright. Moreover, Madam Harris is also a strange old woman. She even complained over the phone that I didn’t inform her that I helped Wallace get Sullivan’s collaboration!

At that time, she even suspected that Madam Harris was trying to embarrass her on purpose because she hadn’t helped Wallace at all.

Furthermore, Madam Harris indirectly asked her if she had slept with Wallace in order to collaborate with Sullivan.

At that time, she was only thinking that she couldn’t lose face. She didn’t even hear what Madam Harris said before she replied, “Yes.” After all, she didn’t want Madam Harris to think that she was useless to the Harris family. If she did, she might have to wait 800 years before she could marry into their family!

“Sigh... It’s my fault. I didn’t expect Wallace to be so successful this time. Crystal, don’t worry. Grandma will definitely make it up to you in the future! I hope you can work hard. If you’re pregnant, I’ll get them to divorce immediately. After all, Sharon and Wallace aren’t like a married couple, so it’s fine even if they divorce.”

Hearing this, Crystal was overjoyed. I didn’t expect Wallace to remain chaste for me. Back then, I broke up with Wallace and went to study abroad. When I returned to New York, I found out that Wallace was married. Surprisingly, he hasn’t slept with his wife yet. Since that’s the case, I can use this to sow discord between Sharon and Wallace.

Right after she hung up, her brother called.

Before Crystal could speak, Theo sounded anxious. “Crystal, something big has happened! The Sullivan Group cut off our electricity supply; both casinos are using backup electricity. Do you know what happened?”

Crystal frowned slightly. How would I know about this? Sullivan’s actions this time are intentional. Why did it turn out like this?

“What have you done to offend people recently? Or did some ignorant person in the family do something?” The York family was a mess. If it was something that someone else had done, she would be happy to see it.

“I don’t know. I’ve barely been out for a few days seeking collaboration. How about you?”

“It’s even more impossible for me. I’m either at the Harris family or at the company.”

On the other end of the line, Theo sighed. “Then, I’m afraid there’s only one reason. As you know, Sullivan’s CEO is newly appointed. She’s probably trying to reshuffle the board and consolidate her power.”

Only then did Crystal come to a realization. “I think it’s possible if you say so. I’ve contacted Tommy many times, but he kept telling me that their CEO doesn’t want to see guests. I couldn’t even give out the gifts I prepared.”

“That’s right. We belong to the old faction, so it’s normal for a newly appointed person like her to dislike us.” Theo sounded a little nervous. “But if that’s the case, it’ll be difficult for us to get in touch with them. We definitely can’t let anyone else in the family have the chance to get in touch with Sullivan’s leadership.”

Crystal’s eyes flickered as if she thought of something. “Brother, you don’t have to worry! There’s a banquet at the Harris family tomorrow. I heard that the chairman and CEO of the Sullivan Group would be attending. With my personal relationship with the Harris family, it’s not impossible for me to meet the CEO.”

“In that case, let’s go together tomorrow. Take it as a chance to congratulate Wallace.”

At night the next day, the Harris family seemed to have welcomed its most important moment, and everyone was extremely excited.

In just two days, the news of the Harris Group and the Sullivan Group’s collaboration had spread throughout New York. Everyone looked at the Harris Group in a new light, not to mention the fact that Sullivan’s new CEO would be attending the Harris family’s dinner banquet. Everyone was even more certain of the Harris family’s abilities.

In order not to embarrass Sharon at this banquet, June even gave her a dress.

Just as she reached the entrance of the old residence, Sharon parked her bicycle at the side and found a Rolls-Royce parked in front of her.

Immediately after, Crystal-who was dressed in a posh outfit-walked out of the car with a man who resembled her.
