Chapter 18: Collaboration Success

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After hearing Tommy’s words, Wallace took a deep breath. Grandmother’s goal was only to have a chance to collaborate. However, not only have I won the bid now, but I’ve even gotten the entire project!

Sharon’s determined face suddenly flashed across Wallace’s mind. Why was she so confident that day? Could it be that she already knew about the result? Who exactly is she…

At this moment, Wallace suddenly had a strange thought. Could this legendary CEO Charlotte be my wife’s alias? But when I turn around and think about it, how could there be anything that is so strange? I know Sharon’s identity the best. Rather than letting my thoughts run wild, I might as well accept the fact that Crystal is helping me behind my back.

Wallace couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Tommy, I would like to ask: is the CEO on good terms with the York Group?”

When Tommy heard this, he almost laughed out loud. “Mr. Wallace, did you not read the latest news? If the CEO really had a good relationship with the York Group, I’m afraid we don’t need to discuss collaboration with you anymore, right?”

Wallace was stunned for a moment before realizing that the other party meant that this had nothing to do with the York Group. Who is the one supporting me?

After leaving the Sullivan Group’s building, Wallace was still in shock and excitement. He felt like he was dreaming as he held the successful bidding agreement in his hands.

Seeing Wallace leave, Sharon quickly arranged for a car to return to the Harris family. She couldn’t wait to see what expression Nicole would have.

In the hall of the Harris family residence, everyone had a strange look on their faces. Why did Wallace choose this time to ask us to return home? Also, everyone knows that Wallace went to Sullivan this morning. If it was a business deal, it shouldn’t have been settled so quickly.

Everyone in the Harris family was waiting to see him make a fool of himself. This was especially so for Louis, who wanted to see how humiliated the eldest grandson of the Harris family would be.

When Wallace walked into the room, he felt everyone’s mocking gazes.

Louis opened his mouth and said sarcastically, “I didn’t expect Big Brother to be back so soon. Your trip didn’t even take an hour! I’m guessing you didn’t even go through Sullivan’s door?”

“It looks like Big Brother can’t wait to get a divorce with that woman, so he didn’t put in any effort to negotiate, right?” Nicole couldn’t help but mock.

Madam Harris’s expression was ugly. This kid hasn’t said anything for so long, so they must’ve guessed correctly. After all, the requirements and difficulty of this bidding were very high, and the bidding date was brought forward. If Wallace wasn’t prepared, it’s normal for him to be rejected.

But as he was the eldest grandson of the Harris family, she didn’t want Wallace to give up so easily. Hence, Madam Harris looked at the latter and sighed. “Are you not prepared this time? If you tell me now that you’ve failed, I’m afraid you have disappointed me. Also, your actions today have really embarrassed us. If this gets out, the Harris family’s reputation will be ruined.”

At this moment, Sharon—who had just entered—stood beside her husband. When she heard Madam Harris’s words, she couldn’t help but frown and give her spouse an encouraging look. These people are too much; they simply can’t bear to see others succeed. They didn’t even ask about the outcome and just mocked him first! Are they really a family?

As for Nicole, Sharon couldn’t figure out where the former got her courage from. When she has to kneel down and kowtow later, I hope that Madam Harris will deal with this matter fairly.

Wallace was very excited at first, but now, these people’s actions made him speechless. He looked at everyone and took a deep breath. “I didn’t use the Harris family’s name to negotiate the collaboration; instead, I used the name of the company I established. The Sullivan Group’s Tommy has signed a project contract with me, and the project will officially start next month.”

“What! You got Sullivan’s cooperation?”

“Nonsense! How is that possible? You probably couldn’t even get a meeting with the Sullivan Group.”

“Really? Wallace, are you joking with me?”

Discussions broke out among the people present. Nobody believed that Wallace had gotten their collaboration in such a short time.

“No way! Absolutely not!” Louis immediately stood up when he realized what was going on. “And you said you didn’t use the Harris family’s name? Mr. Tommy is a famous figure in New York. How would he agree to meet you so easily? Besides, your construction company has just been established, and the biggest project you have is worth less than a million dollars. Why would he take a fancy to you?”

Faced with Louis’s doubts, Wallace took out the contract expressionlessly and placed it on the glass table in front of Madam Harris. “This is the contract we have signed. Please take a look..”
