The Heiress Strikes Back

Chapter 523

523 Staying Over at the Harris Family

“Haven’t I seen enough of your jokes? You can’t even control your own children. No wonder the Harris family was ruined by you.” Jake didn’t hide his disdain and disgust for Rachel. If it weren’t for the fact that he had to fulfill his parents’ last wish, Jake even felt that breathing in the same space as her was an insult to him.

“But I think that girl from your family seems to be a little agitated. What exactly is going on?”

Hearing Jake’s question, Madam Harris’ eyes darted around. Then, she sighed and said, “Ahem, Brother, don’t mention it! You don’t know that there’s actually a reason for the Harris family’s misfortune. Who would have thought that we would find a cheap and d*mned granddaughter-in-law just like that?”

Rachel added fuel to the fire and told Jake about Sharon and Wallace. She even blamed Sharon for the reason why Wallace left the Harris family. She told Jake that it was Sharon who caused the Harris family to enter a predicament, and shared many other things to slander Sharon.

Therefore, in Jake’s ears, all the fault was on Wallace’s family of four. They had abandoned their family and betrayed their bloodline. They had even forced Rachel to kneel on the ground and beg them.

Hearing these words, Jake shook his head in disbelief. “I didn’t expect your Harris family to have such an unfilial descendant.”

Rachel was covered in snot and tears. She looked at Jake and begged, “So Brother, you’re still the CEO of the corporation. If you’re willing to help me, then our family will make a comeback… It will definitely be…”

“We must be very prudent when making investments. In addition, we’re relatives. I didn’t want to have too much to do with you at first. Besides, I have to investigate the Harris family’s exact situation carefully to see if there’s any value in investing, how much I invest and when I’ll make a return. Only then can I decide if I want to make a move.”

…..

Upon hearing this, Madam Harris’ heart turned cold. She knew very well that the current Harris family was a disaster. Not to mention recouping the capital, it was uncertain when the investment would have a return. Ordinary people would definitely not invest after understanding the details.

Besides, they would probably be able to barely make a comeback after tens of millions. Ever since Sullivan publicly rejected them, no one liked the Harris family anymore.

Not only was there a problem with the Harris family’s real estate development, but the construction team also had no work to do. Therefore, under normal circumstances, no one would invest in the Harris family unless the other party was crazy or had too much money to spend.

Not to mention whether Jake hated her or not, this man’s shrewdness made her know that he would never help her for nothing. Unless there was enough return, Jake would definitely not give her money to help her.

“Brother, look at you. You just arrived in New York today. We’re all family, so we should move around more and interact more. Stay at my home in peace for the next few days and let me do the rest. What do you think?”

Looking at Rachel’s fawning expression, Jake thought for a while before saying slowly, “In that case, I’ll stay here for now. You can arrange the rest. Of course, if it’s inconvenient with a girl at home, we’ll avoid suspicion.”

Rachel nodded and cursed in her heart that this Jake was indeed a sly old fox. His motive was already very clear, so his words were very technical.

She had deliberately said that they were family just now because she didn’t want Jake to worry about affecting Nicole. She had to seize the opportunity these few days to persuade that silly girl at home to find a chance to get closer to Jake.

Rachel’s wishful thinking crackled. This way, the Sand family would owe the Harris family a favor, and he would definitely invest in them!

The Sand family was a public company after all. With his investment, the Harris family might be able to obtain some small business partners’ orders and contracts. In addition, when the time came, they would all know that the Harris family still had connections with the Sand family. At that time, the family would definitely be able to revive!

At the thought of this, Madam Harris smiled brightly. “Brother, don’t worry. Nicole is very sensible. In addition, you’re her granduncle, so how can she not give you face? Although our family house is a little old, it’s still our own house. It’s comfortable to live here. You can ask your good friend to come over too and no one will know.”

“Alright, I have other businesses in New York these few days. I’ll also find out more about the situation. As for the investment you mentioned…”

“Brother, take your time to consider.” She could not hide the excitement in her words. “I’ll get someone to tidy up the master bedroom now.”
