The Heiress Strikes Back

133 The Harris Family’s Crisis

Seeing that everyone’s attention was on the Harris family’s business, Celeste and Leo glanced at each other as if they knew very well about the origins of that vase and the matter behind it.

“It won’t be easy for the Harris family to survive this.”

“Didn’t they say that the Harris family was able to survive until now, all thanks to the assets left behind by the late Mr. Harris?”

“I think this mess will definitely be pushed to Wallace!”

Hearing the discussions around her, Madam Harris took a deep breath. Now isn’t the time to talk about these things. I have to earn a sum of money to resolve the crisis in front of me!

“I’m afraid the bank is reassessing. If the funds don’t fall into place, those projects will definitely end badly.” June sighed. Although I’m not very reliable, there will probably be nothing left of my family if this continues.

“Hmph, idiot! We still have other projects at home. Can’t we just continue to withdraw our funds? Or we can just transfer a few temporarily suspended projects out and auction them! Yes-just auction them off, and we’ll be fine.” Zachary looked at June. Is my elder sister trying to say that only she knows how to resolve this matter?

“The news is out, so how could anyone take over in a short time? Moreover, this is our Harris family’s project. If we don’t handle it well, it will cause a crisis of reputation. The business image that our family has built over the years will probably be ruined. By then, it will be very difficult to gain everyone’s trust!”

Hearing her daughter’s words, Madam Harris fell into deep thought. I hadn’t expected this question. Why would Zachary and Louis do such a thing?

“Don’t try to scare me! How can it be so serious? It’s just a few small projects. Continue talking nonsense...”

“Shut up!” Madam Harris gave Zachary a fierce look. She wanted to scold him, but in the end, she couldn’t bear to. I have to contact Crystal first. After all, Crystal is very close to the people there. I can just call her and suppress the public opinion. I can’t let anyone take the opportunity to smear the Harris Group’s reputation.

Who is behind all this?! Madam Harris observed everyone’s performance. If nobody was deliberately slandering us, how could so much negative news spread in such a short time? If we had known earlier and suppressed the news, how could we have been forced to this extent by the media?

It’s all Sharon’s fault. If she were as capable as Crystal, she might’ve known about this beforehand. At the thought of this, Madam Harris glared at Sharon angrily!

“If you ask me, I think we should call a board meeting. No-”

“No!” When Madam Harris heard June’s words, she immediately shouted, “It’s not time yet. If we hold a board meeting now, what will the board of directors think? Your younger brother has just stabilized his position, and it’s just a small mistake, yet they want to mobilize so many people? How will he survive in the future?”

Madam Harris realized that things were starting to get out of control, so she quickly signaled to Nicole.

Why! Why does Grandma only pay attention to me when she needs me... It is clearly Zachary and Louis who have lost face, but they now want me to step forward. Although she was very unhappy in her heart, Nicole still stood up. “Everyone, don’t be affected by such a trivial matter. Today is my birthday, so I hope that everyone will give me some face and not mention this matter for the time being. Our appraisal convention will continue. Don’t we have to look at the birthday presents given to me by my uncles and aunties bit by bit?”

“That’s right!” May’s dissatisfied voice sounded. “Didn’t someone say that they had the ability to identify counterfeit goods? Why can’t they say anything now?”

There was a hint of jealousy in her tone.

What right does Sharon have to be with such an excellent man while I have to give herself to Louis? If there hadn’t been an accident at home... Thinking of this, May smiled and said, “I’m really curious. What method can Miss Sharon use to prove that this is fake?”
