The Heiress Strikes Back

10 Family Meeting

Louis sneered. “Why are you pretending to be a good person now? Sharon isn’t even a member of the Harris family; she’s just a piece of trash.”

Sharon tugged at Wallace’s shirt and whispered, “It’s okay; he’s still young. Don’t lower yourself to his level. Let’s hear what Grandma has to say first!”

Only then did Wallace quiet down, but his expression was extremely bad. He ignored Louis, and for a moment, he wanted only to leave with Sharon.

On the other hand, Nicole almost laughed out loud. She couldn’t believe that her two brothers would actually start a dogfight.

In less than five minutes, Madam Harris arrived, and the family meeting officially began.

Sharon originally wanted to find an inconspicuous place to sit down, but without notice, Wallace pulled out a chair for her to sit beside him.

“Thank you...” Sharon said very softly, and her ears turned red.

“I just want you to stop being so embarrassed.” Wallace’s tone was cold and indifferent.

Madam Harris sat down at the head of the table, clapped her hands, and stated seriously, “The Harris Group has been waiting for a chance, and recently, a chance appeared for us to enter other industries. We’re about to realize this dream.”

Madam Harris was extremely excited. She raised her voice and said, “The bidding for the Sullivan Group’s project is very important to us. Whoever can get this document will get one-third of the Harris Group’s assets.

“Plus, this is the first project after the Sullivan Group’s new CEO takes office. This is a very important opportunity for the Harris Group.

“Moreover, the new CEO is a woman. If we can work with them and leave a good impression on them, it will definitely help the Harris Group in the future.”

Even though Madam Harris had used one-third of the Harris Group’s assets as bait, nobody present responded enthusiastically. After all, it had been more than a year or two since the Harris Group expressed their interest to collaborate with the Sullivan Group, but they hadn’t received any response from them for a long time. How could there suddenly be a new opportunity even when the new CEO took over?

“What’s wrong with all of you? Are you mute? Don’t you have the confidence to clinch this project? We want to enter the construction industry. Don’t you have any motivation?”

Nicole was playing with her phone with her head lowered, and Louis’s mind wasn’t on work at all. Instead, he was thinking about which young model he should date tonight.

The elders had already reached a certain age and didn’t want to take any more risks, so they didn’t respond to Madam Harris.

Madam Harris kept nodding her head. “Okay, okay! Since you all can’t do it, I’ll say this today: Whoever can secure the collaboration with the Sullivan Group will be the president of the Harris Group.”

Everyone was stunned.

After Mr. Harris died, Madam Harris had been monopolizing the entire Harris Group’s work. No matter how much she trusted Wallace, she didn’t let him directly take over the core operations of the Harris Group.

What she was doing now was a clear indication of who would become the president and inherit the Harris Group in the future! Using this position as a reward was undoubtedly a test of one’s ability. It could be seen that Madam Harris was going to use the collaboration with the Sullivan Group as an opportunity to see through the capabilities of a few people.

Such a temptation was indeed very attractive to them, but it also meant that this collaboration opportunity was hard to get.

Zachary glanced at Louis, but he knew that the latter didn’t have the ability to do so. If he wanted to work with the Sullivan Group, Wallace was probably the only one who could succeed.

But no matter how capable Wallace was, the Sullivan Group might not give him a chance. After all, even if the Harris Group’s veterans went personally, the other party might not give them face, let alone collaborate with them.

Sharon secretly observed her spouse-who was beside her-and found that he was expressionless, making her a little confused.

Madam Harris didn’t expect her children and grandchildren to be so cowardly, and she couldn’t help but say, “Are all of you just going to sit and do nothing? As descendants of the Harris family, all of you don’t have any backbone at all. How can I be at ease!?”

Then, Madam Harris’s eyes met with the eyes of Louis’s father. “Zachary, I believe you can do this well.”

Zachary laughed dryly and replied, “Mom, this matter isn’t easy to deal with. The Carter Group has just been disqualified from the collaboration list. You know my current relationship with the Carter Group, so I definitely won’t be able to seize this opportunity even if I go.”

“Trash! Have you been infected by that garbage Sharon? You’re even more useless than her!” Madam Harris slammed the table angrily, but she knew that he was right. However, this is an opportunity that only occurs once in a blue moon! It has been more than ten years since the Harris Group has entered a new industry. If we are to go back to our previous industries, nobody knows what will happen. Therefore, no matter how difficult this opportunity is to obtain, I will not give up so easily.
