“Ah—” Zachary had just finished his sentence when Madam Harris’s cane hit him.

Her tone was extremely unfriendly, and she even cursed him. “B*stard! How can you talk to your nephew like that? You’re just a director—who cares? He’s the president of the Harris Group.”

When Louis heard his grandmother’s words, he instantly became nervous. “Grandma, didn’t you agree to let my father be the project director?!”

Madam Harris decided to make things clear. “If your father didn’t spout nonsense in front of me back then, why would I change my mind at the last minute and put him in the position of project director? If you have any objections to my decision now and think I’ve done anything wrong, then get out of the Harris family!”

Zachary felt indignant after being slapped twice by Madam Harris, but he didn’t dare to say anything. He could only suppress his anger and look at Wallace silently.

At that moment, Madam Harris couldn’t care less about the people in the banquet hall. She followed closely behind Wallace and comforted him. “Wallace, for Grandma’s sake, go talk to Mr. Tommy. Otherwise, the Harris Group will be finished! Just take it as Grandma begging you. As the Harris Group’s president, you are a member of our company. Can you bear to see our company being laughed at?”

“Grandma, don’t you believe that Zachary can do this well? You can ask him to prepare generous gifts so that you can get a chance.” Wallace seemed to have seen through Madam Harris’s thoughts and was no longer willing to sacrifice for this hypocritical family.

“You also heard that Sullivan’s CEO gave our company this chance because of you.” Madam Harris’s expression was a little ugly because she didn’t expect Wallace to be so determined about not standing up for the Harris family. “Even if it’s not for the Harris family, you have to seize this opportunity for Crystal.”

“What does it have to do with Crystal?” Wallace heard Madam Harris’s panting voice and finally stopped. No matter what, she was still his grandmother.

Madam Harris sighed. “Although you and Sharon haven’t divorced yet, since you’ve already asked Crystal to stay over, and the two of you have spent the night together, you have to thank Crystal for helping you connect to Sullivan! You can’t let her good intentions go to waste.”

Wallace looked at Madam Harris in disbelief. “Grandma, have you misunderstood? The day Crystal came to our house, I went to the company to hold an emergency meeting. What do you mean by ‘us spending the night together?’ There’s nothing between us at all.”

“What did you say?” Madam Harris’s expression changed drastically. I didn’t expect that b*stard Zachary to lie to me!

“Zachary told me that Crystal was the one behind the Harris Group’s collaboration with Sullivan. I was afraid that the York family had something on you, so I thought of ways to get him to help you.”

“Let me contact Mr. Tommy first. What exactly is going on?” Wallace was a little surprised. Could it be that Crystal had really helped Me get this opportunity?

The call soon went through, and Wallace said directly, “Hello, Mr. Tommy. I would like to ask if the company chose me to collaborate with because of the York Group’s recommendation or purely because of my work ability.”

Tommy massaged his temples. “Do you think I would choose you if your proposal and work ability are useless? Also, the York Group is on our blacklist. They can’t even protect themselves. Do you think they have the strength to help you?”

Wallace was shocked. What happened to the York Group?

However, Wallace had no choice but to ask—Madam Harris signaled him with her eyes to explain the most important thing. “Also, Mr. Tommy, this opportunity to work with Sullivan is very precious to me. My grandmother has also said that the position of president is mine and that I will personally be responsible for the collaboration with Sullivan. I hope you can reconsider and give us another chance.”

“If that’s the case, then there’s no problem. Prepare the materials well and contact our project department directly. Of course, if you change the person or partner during the process, Sullivan won’t give you any more chances.”

“Thank you, Mr. Tommy, for giving us a chance!” Wallace was a little confused. It’s as if Sullivan had specially prepared this for me. It’s really hard to understand.

“You don’t have to thank me; this is all arranged by our CEO. You’ll have a chance to meet her in the future. You should thank her personally when the time comes!” Tommy deliberately emphasized his words. I can’t wait to see the moment the CEO’s identity is announced to everyone.

Wallace and Madam Harris looked at each other. The former was really curious about who the CEO was and why she was doing her best to help him..
