The Heiress Strikes Back

Chapter 481

481 Don’t Waste Money

When Wallace heard these words, he remained calm on the surface, but he was a little worried.

As the saying goes, the process of listing a company is to increase one’s reputation and reflect the company’s connections at an important moment. If more people come, it proves that the company’s connections are stronger, and this strength can naturally be reflected. If there are other big shots who can come, then they will have no lack of partners in the circle in the future.

However, if there was no one to support him when he was listed, wouldn’t many people know that their company actually didn’t have any resources or connections? In that case, how would the other companies give him face?

If Sullivan’s people came today, it would unknowingly add to the company’s glory. However, Wallace wasn’t confident that the people from Sullivan would come now. After all, it was already a surprise that they gave him a new order. If he asked them to come over, it would be pushing his luck.

Matriarch Harris looked at the guests in groups of two or three and said proudly, “Wallace, look at the time now. No one is coming. I think there’s really no point in opening your small company. I advise you to return to the Harris Corporation quickly. It’s better to work for the Harris family peacefully in the future than to be looked down on by others for no reason.”

She didn’t expect her plan to really work. Madam Harris was secretly happy. The Harris family had worked with those people before. When they found out that Wallace was from the Harris family, they agreed not to come, and they wouldn’t work with Wallace in the future.

Therefore, Matriarch Harris was sure that no one would come to celebrate for Wallace. If no one came to support Wallace’s company, he would naturally be disheartened in the end. In that case, wouldn’t it be easy for her to control him?

At this moment, Wallace was getting increasingly anxious and he subconsciously frowned.

Sharon, who was standing beside him, touched his back and said seriously, “Don’t worry, Hubby! Even if there’s no one today, nothing will happen. We’re enough here.”

Wallace smiled at Sharon and nodded. For some reason, every time he saw Sharon standing beside him, he felt an inexplicable sense of security.

However, she didn’t expect Matriarch Harris to sneer at this moment. “Sharon, you really think too highly of yourself! What’s the use of you being here? Who do you think you are? Do you think a third-rate celebrity can find a big shot to support Wallace’s studio? Do you think you can bring business orders to Wallace’s company? Without the Harris family backing you up, what are you?”

Sharon looked up at Matriarch Harris arrogantly. “Grandma, Wallace’s company will definitely get better and better. On the contrary, the Harris family is already on the verge of bankruptcy and is nothing. Even if the Harris family at its peak, it probably can’t help Wallace much. Now that Wallace is about to surpass you, are you anxious?”

“Sharon! Know your place! You’re really arrogant!” Matriarch Harris didn’t expect Sharon to dare to say so openly that their family was bankrupt. She even said that as long as Wallace worked hard, he could surpass the Harris family. How could she take this insult?

Matriarch Harris raised her walking stick and threw it at Sharon. She said angrily, “Since when did you have the right to speak at home? Who do you think you are to dare to boast here?”

“Why are you so angry, Grandma? Is it because I’m telling the truth? If you don’t believe me, just wait and see. Wallace is definitely much more capable than you think.”

Sharon dodged the walking stick and smiled. Her tone was very calm, and it was filled with confidence.

Zaron and Zachary sneered as if they had heard a huge joke. Zaron even said, “Sure! Sharon, I’ll wait for you to help Wallace expand this lousy company.”

Time passed minute by minute. It was almost ten o’clock, but no one was walking over. Wallace felt a little helpless. He glanced at his watch and his gaze subconsciously landed on the door. Sharon quickly comforted him when she saw his expression, but it was useless.

She was not in a hurry at all. Tommy and Lydia would definitely come, and Whitney and Kerry were also on their way.

Second Master Quayle definitely wouldn’t dare to not come. He hadn’t arrived yet, so he was probably preparing a gift to make it grand.

Zachary looked at Sharon and Wallace and he pretended to be high and mighty. “How is it? You should admit now that you definitely can’t find a business partner on your own, right? Wallace, I told you before that you can cooperate with Sullivan because the Harris family is backing you up. Look at you now, tsk tsk... How pitiful!”
