13 Crystal’s Hospitalization

“I’ve also seen the Sullivan Group’s bidding information. You only have a month to close the deal. If you succeed, I’ll keep my word.”

Madam Harris looked at her eldest grandson. “Since it’s decided, we’ll leave it here for today. We’ll discuss the rest later. Meeting adjourned!”

When most of the people had left, Wallace’s mother, June, rushed toward Sharon angrily. She raised her hand and slapped the latter without warning before blurting out, “You little slut-you vicious whore! I saw everything just now; you were the one who encouraged Wallace to stand up and agree to what the old lady said. You too-why did you listen to a piece of trash like her and agree to this matter so carelessly!?”

Wallace’s father, James, also scolded Sharon. “You! I’ve never seen such a vicious little girl like you. You’re just a piece of trash, and you’ve really gotten my son into deep trouble.”

“I don’t care! Nicole only said that you couldn’t go to Crystal to help you, so I’ll go find her. At that time, I’ll see who can stop you. If Crystal doesn’t help connect you to the relevant parties, we definitely won’t be able to get the Sullivan Group to consider us. When that time comes, this piece of trash will have to kneel down in front of Nicole, and they will definitely use this as an excuse to make a fuss. Where will I put my face then?” June was so angry that her whole body was trembling, and she blamed all the problems on Sharon.

Sharon was trembling all over. She pressed her arms against her body and bit her lips tightly. Then, she said in a very soft voice, “Even so... As long as Wallace can negotiate this contract successfully, all the problems will be solved...”

“Heh, you’re really short-sighted. Do you know what kind of organization the Sullivan Group is? Why would they easily give out the contract? If you don’t have a strong background and ability, how are you going to negotiate with them? Moreover, everyone knows that to work with the Sullivan Group, one must use connections! Our family has never worked with anyone related to the Sullivan Group before, so how would they take a fancy to Wallace?”

“I think there’s definitely nothing wrong with Wallace! The other party will definitely like him.” As she spoke, Sharon looked at her husband.

This cold-looking man had no expression on his face at all.

“You think so?” June wished she could give her daughter-in-law a slap and mock her at one side. “If you have the ability, go and become the Sullivan Group’s boss then. You’re a useless piece of trash who still dares to boast here.

“Get out-get out today! I get angry just looking at you.” June pointed at the door, signaling Sharon to leave immediately.

Wallace didn’t say a word.

Sharon laughed in her heart. Yes, why would he make his mother angry because of me?

Thinking of this, Sharon didn’t stay any longer and turned to leave. Let’s go to the hospital to accompany Uncle Smith tonight!

When she thought of that old man who was always smiling, Sharon unconsciously felt at ease.

She slept at his bedside until late at night.

Sharon woke up with a start-Uncle Smith was thirsty and wanted to drink water.

After waiting for the elevator for a long time, Sharon decided to take the stairs. As if she felt someone staring at her, Sharon raised her head slightly, and her gaze met Wallace’s.

The light in the stairs was dim, and his slender figure stood there like a statue. A pair of chestnut-colored eyes shone with an inquisitive light, and his thin lips curved into a devilish smile the moment he saw her. Together with his raised black-colored eyebrows, he gave off an aura of authority that was hard to reject, with a tint of coldness.

Sharon was obviously stunned. Why is he here at this time? Surely he isn’t here to look for me?

“Why are you still here? Crystal just woke up; don’t let the smell of smoke choke her. What are you standing there for?” June rushed in from the side, so nervous that she didn’t even notice that Sharon was there. She dragged Wallace away from the scene.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Crystal instantly put down her phone.

“Crystal, Wallace was too worried about you just now, so he went to ask the doctor about the situation. You have to take care of yourself!” June smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum.

“It was my fault today... When I heard about the Sullivan Group’s project bidding, I knew that Wallace would definitely take over. Hence, I rushed over, wanting to give him some ideas and help him out. I didn’t expect myself to be so useless; I walked a few steps and fainted.”

“It’s not your fault! You’re anemic, yet you’re worried about our family.” June was so touched that she held Crystal’s hand. “If you ask Auntie, you’re our lucky star! You’ve helped Auntie a lot this time; you’re so much better than that Sharon.”
