Chapter 44

44 The CEO Is Above

Sensing that Tommy’s tone had become much calmer, Madam Harris spoke carefully with a nervous expression. “Since we’ve talked things out, can you please return to the banquet hall with CEO Charlotte?”

After all, the Harris family had completely infuriated the other party. If they were to invite him back now, who knew if he would agree?

Tommy glanced at Sharon-who was dazedly standing beside him-and replied perfunctorily, “The CEO doesn’t like the atmosphere of your family’s banquet. When I go back later, I’ll inform Wallace in advance.”

When he chased after Sharon just now, he realized that she was already in a daze. She was squatting not far from the Harris family’s gate, her eyes full of grievances and helplessness.

“That kind of family-it’s okay not to want it.”

Sharon turned her head mechanically and asked Tommy, “Did I do something wrong?”

It was only then that Tommy realized that Sharon’s nails were completely embedded in her palm.

Then, Sharon finally relaxed. The intense pain spread bit by bit, but the pain in her body couldn’t compare to the pain of being humiliated in front of others. At first, I thought that everything would be fine after the banquet ended. In the end, I only felt a sharp knife fall on my heart. Thereafter, I lost my senses and have no idea what happened.

Tommy looked at Sharon’s innocent eyes and didn’t know what to do. He stiffly reached out and patted her head. “CEO, you didn’t do anything wrong.”

The driver smiled awkwardly at their interaction. “Mr. Tommy, are you staying behind to take care of Ms. Charlotte today?”

“Does my face show that I am someone who likes taking care of others and that I am an exceptionally kind and great person?” The driver’s words made Tommy retract his hand and glance at Sharon indifferently.

And Sharon also realized that Tommy was actually a very sharp-tongued person. He rarely talked to her, probably to hide his strange personality.

Tommy looked at the time and called Wallace.

Within 20 minutes, everyone noticed that Tommy’s car had returned to the Harris family. All their eyes were on Wallace, filled with admiration and shock!

Tommy walked to the front, with Wallace and Madam Harris following closely behind.

When Tommy found Sharon’s seat and sat down, Crystal-who was standing at the side-was instantly flustered. It seems like I’m still attractive. We merely exchanged a glance before Mr. Tommy sat down beside me.

Madam Harris pulled Wallace up the stairs. At this moment, she was all smiles as she said seriously, “Just now, it was a farce we prepared for everyone. I’m getting old and a little muddled. This time, we were able to work with Sullivan all thanks to my eldest daughter giving birth to a good son! Wallace is an outstanding descendant of our family and has contributed to our collaboration this time.”

Tommy sat in his seat and waved his hand to signal Madam Harris to stop. He then said calmly, “Madam Harris seems to be a little unfamiliar with our bidding process. This collaboration was achieved by Wallace alone; it has nothing to do with the other members of the Harris family.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Only Tommy dared to refute Madam Harris’s slip of the tongue, given his status and identity. Nobody else present dared to say anything toward them.

Madam Harris quickly smiled and nodded hurriedly. “Mr. Tommy, you’re right. I was negligent! The Harris Group was able to work with Sullivan today all because of Wallace! I solemnly announce that Wallace is the Harris Group’s president. All future projects need to be reviewed by the president himself, and the key projects are also handled by the president.”

Tommy nodded and sat still in his seat. Then, he looked at Wallace and said, “We’ll take care of each other in the future. I think you and I have hit it off very well, and our future collaboration will be very pleasant.”

Wallace didn’t understand why Tommy was so obviously biased toward him, but at least their collaboration was successful, so he could only nod in agreement.

In an instant, the applause from the audience didn’t stop. Everyone looked at Wallace expectantly.

Those with daughters were eager to try. After all, Wallace wasn’t on good terms with his wife. If their daughter had the chance to become a member of the Harris family, their families would definitely have a bright future.
