The Heiress Strikes Back

378 Kneeling and Begging for Mercy

People who changed sides according to the situation were really annoying. Peter knew Leonard’s thoughts too well, so he could not be bothered with him.

On the other hand, Christian seemed to be unable to hear the panicked voice from the other end of the phone. There was only a buzzing in his ears, and his mind was filled with Sharon’s words just now. “You’re going bankrupt soon!”

He was covered in cold sweat. He raised his face in horror and looked at Sharon with despair.

This woman actually had the ability to predict the future. Was the Kent family really doomed this time?

Thinking of this, Christian actually collapsed. Sharon looked at Wallace and said, “Let’s go back!”

“How... did you know that the Kent family was going to go through something like this?” Wallace looked at Sharon in confusion.

It was only then that Sharon realized that she was so angry she had gotten a little carried away in front of Wallace.

She quickly explained, “Because President Tommy from Sullivan said that he had watched the casting and felt that I was singing quite well. As we chatted, he asked me what I was doing now. That’s when I mentioned to him that I had met Christian. He told me that the Kent family was also Sullivan’s business partner and we spoke a little more when we were chatting, and that’s when I knew that this would happen.”

She didn’t want to look at Christian anymore. She just wanted to pull Wallace away and leave.

At this moment, Christian seemed to have suddenly come back to his senses. He stared at Sharon and crawled to her. If Wallace hadn’t stopped him, he would have shaken Sharon with all his might.

Then, everyone heard the man in front of them question loudly, “You did it! You did everything, didn’t you? You were the one who asked Sullivan’s people to hand over the second phase of the project to the other developers, right?”

Christian’s eyes were red as he panted heavily. His narrow eyes stared fixedly at Sharon. His crazy appearance made Wallace nervous, and he subconsciously stood in front of Sharon.

Sharon glanced at Christian and said expressionlessly, “You did something you shouldn’t have done, and you’re still speculating about others? Move aside!”

Her crisp tone was as if she was reprimanding a mere watchdog of her house.

A look of fear appeared on Leonard’s face. Damn it! Wasn’t Christian very arrogant just now? Why did he become like this now?

Peter was also very shocked. Didn’t they say that Sharon was very gentle and didn’t even dare to speak loudly in the Harris family? Now that she actually had such a tough side, he admired her a little.

“Dad! What’s wrong with our family? Say something! Also, how can you let Sharon talk to you like this? She’s too much!”

Kayla looked at Sharon in disbelief. “Hurry up and return my phone to me, or I’ll tell the media what you’ve done.”

“What nonsense are you spouting!” Christian suddenly shouted at Kayla. “Don’t you know what kind of occasion this is? How can you talk to Ms. Sharon like this! Apologize to Ms. Sharon immediately!”

In front of everyone, Christian reprimanded Kayla loudly and then bowed deeply to Sharon. He had a long face and apologized very sincerely to Sharon. “Ms. Sharon, I was really wrong. Please, tell President Tommy and let the Kent Corporation live!”

The surroundings instantly fell silent. The young nurses who were watching the show could not believe their eyes. The famous construction magnate in New York was actually apologizing to a small celebrity.

Even Wallace and Peter were stunned. They didn’t expect Christian to bow down to Sharon.

“Ms. Sharon, it’s all my fault. I deserve to die. I shouldn’t have spoken rudely to you. I shouldn’t have left Old Master Han in the lurch... I was really wrong. I regret my actions and I definitely won’t do it again. Please tell President Tommy to spare me a lifeline!”

Seeing that Sharon was unmoved, Christian made up his mind. He raised his hand and slapped himself ruthlessly, even making a crisp sound.

However, Sharon was still expressionless. As she watched his hands move non-stop, Sharon said lightly, “I don’t know what you’re talking about. President Tommy and I are just friends. I can’t control the decisions of others.”

“Ms. Sharon, once the Kent Corporation goes bankrupt, I won’t have a single cent in my hands. I still have a few hundred million in negative assets that I can’t return. My daughter still has to be treated and I still have a family to support. Can you please put in a good word for me?”

It was only then that Kayla realized that her family had probably encountered a financial crisis, and this matter must have something to do with Sharon.
