Chapter 42 - Halting of Collaboration

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Tommy’s words were like a time bomb that caused the crowd to burst into an uproar because nobody had expected Tommy to say such a thing.

This sudden turn of events shocked everyone.

Madam Harris’s body went limp. If Zachary hadn’t caught her in time, she would’ve rolled down the stairs.

After taking a few quick breaths, Madam Harris caught up to Tommy. Although she was anxious, she didn’t dare to be disrespectful. “Mr. Tommy, I don’t know if there’s a misunderstanding. Is our Harris family lacking in etiquette?”

I can’t let this matter rest so easily today. I’ve spent so much effort to invite such a prominent figure, and the Harris family was going to use this opportunity to make a name for ourselves. How could they cancel our collaboration in front of everyone? If this is true, our Harris family will never be able to raise our heads again.

Tommy suddenly stood still. “Our CEO said that this matter isn’t directed at a single member of the Harris family, but rather, all of you here are trash! Our CEO only agreed to cooperate with all of you out of her approval of Wallace, but you did something like changing the person in charge at the last minute. Of course, Sullivan wouldn’t accept it.”

After saying that, Tommy waved at them and walked out the door without looking back. I didn’t expect the CEO to live such a life in the Harris family. It seems like these people from the Harris family aren’t good people.

Madam Harris’s face turned pale. She looked at Zachary—who had come over to help her—and slapped him. How could something like this ruin the Harris family’s future?

“It’s you—it’s all your fault!” Madam Harris glared at Zachary, blaming him for everything.

At this moment, Louis rushed up as well. He hadn’t expected Sullivan to be so disrespectful to his father; it was as if they were intentionally targeting his family. When did our family ever offend Ms. Charlotte?

As he helped Madam Harris up, Louis asked nervously, “Grandma, since the position of project director has been decided, you won’t go back on your word, right? My dad has put in a lot of effort for this position!”

Madam Harris almost fainted from anger. She raised her hand and slapped Louis again, her tone filled with dissatisfaction. “B*stard! Unfilial descendant! At this point, you’re still thinking about the position of director. Hurry up and apologize to Wallace!”

At that moment, Wallace coldly gazed at his grandmother, who usually cared for him. This is what it meant to be part of this family—it makes me feel extremely disgusted. I had thought that I would be able to hold my head high at home after becoming the president and that I would have more authority and autonomy when it came to Sharon. But now… Everything was just my imagination!

“Since Grandma and Zachary think it’s so hard to trust me, then I won’t be the president.” As he spoke, Wallace walked down the stairs and stood beside June.

Zachary gritted his teeth and stared at Wallace’s face. “Why are you still acting like that in front of me? If you and Tommy didn’t agree to embarrass me in public, I wouldn’t have been mocked by so many people today.. Wallace, as an elder, what’s wrong with me being the director? Let me tell you: settle this immediately, or I won’t forgive you!”
