The Heiress Strikes Back

381 Never Going To Compromise

“So what if she apologized?” Wallace frowned. He couldn’t understand why his mother still couldn’t see the Harris family’s true colors after so many years.

“I know my grandmother the best. She’s only apologizing now because the Harris family is in a critical moment and needs help. In addition, she hopes to use my name to ask for the cooperation. How can she be sincere?”

June quickly tried to convince him, “Wallace, what are you saying? Have you forgotten that we’re family? Why do you think so badly of the family? Let me tell you, family is still family no matter what...”

“I won’t go back.” Wallace interrupted June. He knew Matriarch’s thoughts too well, so it was impossible for him to go back and be controlled by others.

“You child!” June still wanted to say something, but looking at her son, she couldn’t make their relationship too stiff, so she threw her dissatisfaction to Sharon.

“Look at what you’ve done to Wallace. Grandma had already recognized her mistake. What else do you want him to do? Are you going to make an elder kneel down and apologize to you?”

As she spoke, June raised her head arrogantly and looked at Sharon. “Sharon, I’m telling you, don’t be so shameless. If not for the fact that you and Wallace aren’t divorced, I wouldn’t want you to return to the Harris family. Your grandmother is really sincere this time. She spent a lot of money and gave me a pair of gold bracelets, an agate necklace, and four gold pieces...”

Upon hearing this, Wallace finally understood why June’s attitude had changed so quickly. She had accepted his grandmother’s gift.

“Mom, just say that you want those things. It’s not the first time you’ve been bribed because of this. Wasn’t it because you were always like this that caused Second Uncle to look down on me?”

Wallace’s tone was indifferent. He should have known that his mother was such a person.

“Besides, don’t vent your anger on Sharon. We all know how the Harris family treated her, so it’s only right to let her decide whether she wants to go back.”

Sighing, Wallace didn’t seem to want to say anything else. He held Sharon’s hand, as if he wanted to comfort her.

Seeing that Wallace had turned his head and ignored her, June instantly lost her temper. She shouted at Xenon, “Look at your son. His heart is filled with his useless wife. To put it nicely, she’s a celebrity. To put it bluntly, what did she bring to the family?”

Unexpectedly, Xenon opened his mouth but did not say a word in the end. He turned around and walked out of the room.

Looking at Wallace’s hand, Sharon was stunned. For a moment, she didn’t know how to react.

“The Harris family understands my mother’s nature and knows that she is a person who is greedy for money. That’s why my mother will speak up for them after receiving the jewelry. She doesn’t remember how those people bullied our family... I’m sorry...”

“Your mother hasn’t gone out yet! Rascal, do you think I don’t exist?” June stomped her feet in anger. She felt very uncomfortable being called a money-grubber by her son.

Although Sharon was unhappy, it wasn’t convenient for her to say anything about June. Looking at Wallace, Sharon actually had the thought of comforting him. “We’re still family after all. Mom might be hoping that our relationship won’t be so tense. We just have to be careful of those people’s despicable methods. Don’t worry, no matter what decision you make, I’ll support you.”

Wallace nodded. There were so many things that had happened recently that he was extremely confused about. The man behind Xenia who framed Sharon hadn’t been found yet, and the York family was making things difficult for the construction company under him. He needed to solve these matters.

“Don’t worry. After I solve everything, you won’t have any worries and can do what you want in peace.”

Looking at Wallace, Sharon couldn’t guess which one was the real him. If he really loved her so much, why was he so close to Crystal that day?

“Also, I won’t go back. Don’t worry about this.”

When June heard this, she was instantly furious. “After talking for so long, you’re still not going back. That’s the Harris family’s hundred-year foundation. Are you giving it up to others just like that?”

“The Harris family is only left with a shell now. Why would I want a reputation and an empty shell?” Wallace was very calm. Since he had already made up his mind, there was nothing he couldn’t say to June.
