The Heiress Strikes Back


41 She Is the CEO?

This action undoubtedly frightened everyone present. What is going on? Does Sharon want to cause trouble in front of Sullivan’s chairman?

Seeing Sharon stand up, Crystal followed closely behind. How could I let Sharon monopolize such a chance to show off?

“Why are you standing up now? Look at you-you’re like a street rat. If you stand up, you’ll only embarrass Wallace.” Crystal turned her body and blocked Sharon’s path. In the eyes of outsiders, it looked like Crystal just didn’t want her to do anything stupid.

“Is this the pot calling the kettle black?” Sharon asked softly.

“I’m determined to take over your position. Why don’t you divorce Wallace now? If his wife were me, he wouldn’t be a figurehead today.” Crystal’s tone was provocative.

Sharon looked at Crystal’s hypocritical appearance and couldn’t help but feel a little disgusted. Then, she ignored the latter and walked forward.

Seeing her calm expression, Crystal bit her lower lip. From an angle that nobody could see, she grabbed Sharon’s arm and fell to the ground.

“Mrs. Harris… I just wanted to persuade you not to do anything stupid. Why are you bullying me like this?” As Crystal spoke, tears fell from her eyes.

In everyone’s eyes, Sharon had pushed Crystal to the ground.

“Don’t you know what kind of occasion this is?” June looked at Crystal-who was on the ground-and was instantly furious. Originally, she was already furious that Wallace was taken by her, but who knew that Sharon would still cause trouble now. If Sharon causes trouble now, it will only make the old lady hate our family even more.

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and help Crystal up!” Seeing that Sharon was unmoved, June was angry and anxious.

“She fell down herself. What does it have to do with me?”

Seeing Sharon’s attitude, June raised her hand in anger.

Sharon grabbed her mother-in-law’s wrist and looked straight at her with her cold eyes, making the latter feel an inexplicable fear. “I’m Wallace’s wife, yet you’re so protective of a mistress who covets my husband. So many people are here today. Do you want outsiders to know that you’re actually so mean to your daughter-in-law? Also, don’t blame me for not reminding you. Sullivan’s chairman has already targeted Crystal’s family. If you implicate your own company at this time, the gains don’t make up for the losses!”

“You-how dare you… spout nonsense! If Sullivan doesn’t cooperate with Crystal’s family, it’s not like they’d look for you. Must you cause trouble at this time? Sharon, do you want to embarrass Wallace in front of so many people?” June was so angry that her entire body was trembling, and she vented all her anger on Sharon.

Her eyes were filled with obvious anger, but one couldn’t help but guess how much this anger had to do with Sharon!

Sharon’s gown was already dirty. She took a deep breath and looked up, her eyes filled with stubbornness. “Embarrassing? Hasn’t our family lost all our face because of your bad morals?”

“Auntie… It’s my fault. I should’ve been careful… I was worried that she would cause trouble for Wallace, so I… I fell on my own.” Crystal’s face was filled with weakness.

There was a red mark on her originally slender wrist. Crystal reached out to stop June, and the mark was even more obvious.

In addition to what she had said just now, June naturally thought that Crystal had stopped Sharon, but Sharon had pushed her down. At the thought of this, June’s anger intensified, and she couldn’t help but raise her hand.

“You want to hit me? Let everyone know that the eldest daughter of the Harris family doesn’t dare to disobey her mother and can only vent her anger on her daughter-in-law!” Sharon said coldly. How could a person like June not be worried about her reputation in New York?

Indeed, when June heard the whispers around her, she retracted her hand. In front of everyone, June pointed at her daughter-in-law’s face. “Now, apologize to Crystal immediately.”

“Sharon, you should apologize to my sister quickly. After all, this is the Harris family’s home ground. Aren’t you afraid of offending the Sullivan Group’s chairman by doing such a thing?” At this moment, Theo stood up and stood beside his sister, looking at Sharon with a sharp and cold gaze.

“It’s not your place to interrupt my business as an outsider.” Sharon glanced at the York siblings impatiently.

“This is the good daughter-in-law your family has raised? Sharon, you’re just a piece of trash. What are you doing? Hurry up and sit back down!” Zachary stood on the stairs with a dark expression. It is my show today. Why is the limelight still snatched away by my boss and my family?

There was a malicious glint in Theo’s eyes. This woman hasn’t given me face a few times and even hurt my sister… I will make Sharon pay the price today!

Thinking of this, Theo reached out.

Just as he was about to grab Sharon, another hand grabbed his wrist.

“How dare a man like you attack a woman behind her back?” Tommy’s voice came faintly. Ignoring everyone’s shocked gazes, he stopped Theo, who was about to hurt Sharon.

This scene stunned everyone! Tommy, the Sullivan Group’s CEO! He is a world-famous young entrepreneur. How could a notorious woman like Sharon be worthy of his help?

Everyone knew that Tommy had a strange temper and never interfered in other people’s business, but now, he had offended the Gambling King’s son for Sharon.

Tommy saw Sharon’s gaze, and he let go of Theo in disdain. Then, he suddenly looked up at Madam Harris and Zachary before gazing at the nervous crowd with disdain. “Our chairman and Ms. Sharon hit it off at first sight. As the corporation has something on at the last minute and needs the chairman to deal with it, the rest of the matter will be handled by Ms. Sharon, who was personally entrusted by the chairman.”
