The Heiress Strikes Back

40 Inviting CEO Charlotte

Theo was stunned by his father’s scolding, and he shakily took out another phone.

He realized that everything his father had said was true. The cell phone he used for work was about to explode from the calls.

Thereafter, Howard shouted again, “Also, what’s with Sullivan’s statement? What trouble did you two cause me outside?”

Not daring to listen to his father’s voice anymore, Theo hurriedly hung up the phone. He then kept looking at his phone and searched for Sullivan’s statement as cold sweat kept dripping down his forehead. It’s over... It is completely over now. If Father knows that my business has failed and that I have offended his business partners, how would he be able to trust me with the casino in the future?

As Madam Harris stood on the stairs, the spotlight lit up, and the sound of the microphone could be heard.

Theo suddenly felt weak and collapsed in his seat.

“Brother, what’s wrong?” Crystal seemed to have sensed that something was wrong with her sibling. She took his phone over, and her pupils dilated instantly-it was as if she was struck by lightning. How could this be?

Madam Harris-who was on the stairs-looked around at the celebrities and was extremely excited. Even though that incident had just happened, she still maintained her composure on the surface as she smiled and said, “Tonight, on behalf of the entire Harris family, I welcome all friends, business partners, and those who support our Harris family to this banquet. Then, let us welcome the Sullivan Group’s president, Mr. Tommy.”

The spotlight shifted instantly, dropping the beam onto the top of the stairs.

Tommy walked down the stairs in a flashy suit.

Sharon felt that it was a little strange. She had known Tommy for such a long time and realized that the color of his suit was always very strange; it was either the green of spring or the fiery orange of summer.

Moreover, his dependence on his secretary, Lydia, far exceeded ordinary people’s imagination. For example, when Lydia went to a meeting, Tommy called her back because he needed to find a blue folder.

At this thought, Sharon suddenly realized something... Color? I’ve never noticed Tommy’s eyes before...

Under the light, Tommy’s every step was steady. He was the president of Sullivan after all. Just his outstanding appearance alone was enough to attract everyone’s attention!

Tommy waved at the crowd and greeted them symbolically. When he saw Sharon, his gaze stopped for a moment.

Madam Harris continued, “Let us give you a round of applause to welcome Mr. Tommy. As an elder of the Harris family, I would like to thank Sullivan for trusting the Harris Group and handing over the project to us. The Harris Group will definitely do their best to live up to everyone’s trust!”

“Also, I have something important to announce to everyone. He is an outstanding member of the younger generation of the Harris Group. If it weren’t for him, we wouldn’t have been able to secure the collaboration with Sullivan. Hence, the Harris Group’s board of directors decided to nominate him as the Harris Group’s president.”

June-who was watching from the guest seats-was extremely excited. My precious son is about to be the center of attention.

“Of course, because he’s still young, the board of directors has also nominated a project director who is fully in charge of collaborating with other companies like Sullivan.”

The moment Madam Harris finished speaking, Wallace, June, and Sharon-who were already waiting-had a drastic change in expression.

“Let us welcome President Wallace and Director Zachary with applause.”

Wallace’s footsteps were very stiff, but Zachary looked happy and relaxed.

Sharon’s gaze gradually turned cold. As expected, this is the true face of the Harris family-scheming and plotting behind each other’s backs. After using Wallace, she immediately abandoned him, afraid that he would take over.

Wallace seemed to have nothing to say. He expressed his gratitude briefly before handing the microphone to Zachary.

After Zachary finished his long speech, Madam Harris seemed to be very satisfied. She nodded and continued, “For this banquet, there is another important matter. We have the honor to invite the Sullivan Group’s new CEO, Miss Charlotte. Please give a warm applause to welcome CEO Charlotte!”

Instantly, thunderous applause sounded out from below the stage.

Most of the celebrities were here tonight for the new CEO. Nobody wasn’t curious about her identity.

Everyone stared at the staircase, wanting to see what kind of person she would be. Some people even wondered if this woman was the mysterious tycoon who had caused a huge commotion online recently.

“I think it’s highly possible. That blurry shadow looks very unfamiliar; she’s definitely not from New York.”

“Oh my god! So the CEO of Sullivan Group is really appearing?”

“She must be quite old to be the CEO. Let’s not have too much hope.”

Under the thunderous applause and fervent attention, Sharon took a deep breath and slowly stood up with a stiff face...
