The Heiress Strikes Back

132 The Harris Family’s Thunderstorm

Wallace’s appearance shocked everyone present. Some single ladies followed his every move closely, and even May subconsciously looked at Wallace a few times. They are all from the Harris family, but Zachary’s face is far worse than Wallace’s!

Zachary and Madam Harris looked at each other. The two of them were very curious as to why he would be back at this time. We had even asked ahead of time and were sure that he would be going to the project site to supervise with Sullivan’s people today.

“Hey! Wallace, why are you back at this time? Didn’t I tell you that if you are too busy with Sullivan’s project, you don’t have to rush back specially? There’s no need for you to attend this appraisal convention. If Sullivan’s project isn’t handled well, the entire Harris family’s reputation will be affected.” June’s words did mean something, but nobody-including Madam Harris-could say anything because the Harris family was indeed dependent on Wallace now.

Even if Zachary were to phrase it that it was the Harris family working with Sullivan... Sullivan had already made it very clear that they wouldn’t be working with anyone from the Harris family if it weren’t for Wallace.

Wallace glanced at June and Madam Harris before coming to his wife’s side while panting lightly. I knew that nothing good would happen under this banner. Zachary and Louis just want Sharon to lose face here.

“If you don’t want to believe my wife, I’ll vouch for her. If this is really a farce, I’ll apologize to you. But if this is truly fake, our Harris family won’t accept it. Please take it back.”

Sharon didn’t expect her spouse to stand up for her, and her eyes burned. Amidst the objections and doubts, Sharon tugged at Wallace’s clothes, seemingly trying to reassure him.

Nicole looked at the scene in front of her in shock and quickly sent a message.

How did it suddenly become like this? Shouldn’t the woman my brother likes the most be Crystal? For so many years, Wallace and Sharon haven’t been a proper couple-wasn’t it all for Crystal? At this moment, Nicole seemed to have a million questions in her mind.

“Who do you think you are? Can you apologize on behalf of Sharon?” Zachary gritted his teeth and stood up, blocking May’s way. “Wallace, why aren’t you busy with your work instead of causing trouble for me?”

“Making trouble for you?” Wallace’s tone was calm. “Other than compensating two companies under the Harris Group and buying a piece of land that was planned as a junkyard, what else did you do?”

The moment he said that, Zachary and Louis’s faces turned pale.

Madam Harris was rather surprised and looked at her son. “Why didn’t you tell me about this?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?! Nobody said what use that piece of land is for. I think it might be for commercial development!”

Hearing Zachary words, Nicole stood up. “Brother, calm down first. If that’s true, the most important problem now is the capital chain. If the overall situation can’t be stabilized...”

“Shut up! What occasion is this? How is it your turn to speak?” Zachary pointed at Nicole and scolded her as if his lie had been exposed.

“Mom, I don’t want to talk about anything else. Look at the media reports-this matter seems to have just been reported.” June was enjoying the show, so she walked straight to her mother with her phone.

Everyone present quietly picked up their phones.

“The construction site has been completely locked down! The Harris Group has blown up the entire project?”

“The Harris Group is in deep trouble!”

“The new building of the Harris Group was halted for a week. It’s suspected to have fallen into a pit.”

“Zachary! Louis! What’s going on?” Madam Harris didn’t expect to be so embarrassed in front of so many guests today. She quickly said, “Hurry up and use money to continue covering it! This ugly matter...”

“Mom... The bank... doesn’t lend to us now,” Zachary said carefully.

“Why?! Are those banks crazy?” Madam Harris gritted her teeth as she looked at her two useless descendants. She didn’t know what to do for a moment, and she blamed Wallace for saying this in public.

“Within an hour, almost every media outlet has reported about this matter. Facing such public opinion, the bank will definitely be afraid that they won’t be able to transfer the money and would have to fork out the principal. Once the project becomes a bad asset, it will be a major crisis for the bank.” June looked at her mother and brother. I didn’t expect retribution to come so quickly. With my understanding of Zachary, he has no ability to resolve this matter.
