The old lady looked straight at Yvonne and even asked her assistant to bring her reading glasses over.The Sue family relatives craned their necks and wanted to see the contents of the contract, as they did not believe that Yvonne could actually negotiate for a collaboration. Almost everyone there showed up at Weakriver Real Estate, but they never even got to meet the boss. How could Yvonne manage to do so?Her status in the Sue family was a low one and she had always been unwelcomed. No one treated Yvonne as their relative, but what if she gets the attention of the old lady after negotiating the cooperation?Among them, the person who was most unwilling to believe it was Harvey. If Yvonne managed to negotiate the cooperation, it meant that in the future, he would have to serve tea to Yvonne and address her as Elder Sister Yvonne. It was humiliating for him."Yvonne, you forged a contract all by yourself? Who would want to believe you? I don’t think you’ve even met the owner of Weakriv
Several members of the Sue family stood up to speak for Harvey one after another. Yvonne smiled in anger after seeing how they imposed themselves due to their seniority. They were undoubtedly a bunch of shameless people. The agreement was Harvey’s suggestion, but she was the one who was accused of being in the wrong.Would those people stand up and speak for her if the negotiation failed and Harvey wanted to drive her out of the Sue family?"If you agree to bet, then you must accept your loss," the old lady said softly.As soon as that sentence was spoken, the relatives who had been speaking up for Harvey faded away at once. They dared not utter anymore nonsense.The discomfort in Harvey’s expression was as though he had eaten a pile of feces. Although he was incredibly reluctant, he would never dare to go back on his word after his grandmother had spoken.He earnestly brought Yvonne a cup of tea and called out extremely grudgingly, "Elder Sister Yvonne."With his head hung low, Harvey
"Grandma, are you really going to put Yvonne in charge of this?" Harvey said to Grandmother Sue as they sat in the living room.The old lady put on a righteous air and said, "Since Yvonne is the one who negotiated this, it’s only natural to hand it over to her. Is there a problem with that?""Mom, you have to think carefully about this matter. Yvonne’s a woman, after all. It won’t be good for Harvey if she gains clout in the company," Lionel Sue said.Grandmother Sue looked at the two men unhappily and said, "If there’s anything you wish to say, say it to my face. Don't beat around the bush.""Grandma, even though Samuel entered into our Sue family, he’s still an outsider at the end of the day. It has been three whole years and he hasn’t accomplished anything before. Aren’t you afraid that our Sue family's industry will fall into the hands of this outsider if Yvonne takes control of the company?" Harvey asked."Yvonne doesn’t feel anything for that piece of trash. If I didn’t attach an
"Where’s Miss Sue?" Liam asked in a seemingly casual manner.Harvey thought that Liam was just asking casually, so he figured he could just cook up an excuse and be done with it. "She’s sick. I’ll be responsible for the follow-up collaboration with your company in the future."Liam nodded and said, "In that case, let's talk after Miss Sue recovers."Liam then turned and left after speaking.Harvey froze for a moment before quickly catching up with Liam and saying, "Mr. Jude, it’s the same even if I’m heading this project. Don't worry, I’m much more capable than Yvonne. Collaborating with your company—"Before Harvey could finish speaking, Liam stopped beside his car. "There are plenty of people who want to collaborate with Weakriver Real Estate. Since the Sue family appears very much insincere, I’ll have to reconsider the collaboration."Harvey stood dumbfounded as he watched Liam's car drive away. He thought that Liam would not care much about that at all, but what surprised him was L
Lionel and Harvey were the only ones left in the conference room.Lionel's face was ashen due to sheer hatred, and he remarked viciously, "I don't know what kind of drug Yvonne has given Liam. How could he not accord any respect to you when a person in your position wants to have a discussion with him."Harvey clenched his jaw and nearly crushed his posterior teeth. A sneer then appeared on his face as he said, "It’s very likely that Yvonne is cheating on that piece of trash. How unexpected.""In any case, she’s the only one who can step forth in this situation. Your grandma never goes back on her words," Lionel lamented.Harvey had a headache just thinking of that. He would not have called Yvonne the night before if he had known earlier that things would end up like that. Having to personally call Yvonne and ask her to show up was too hard of a slap on his face."I’m the only one who can call her."Harvey took out his cell phone and dialed Yvonne's number.He did not dare to delay it
After being hung up on, a furious Harvey threw his cell phone onto the ground and smashed it to pieces."You piece of trash. How dare you hang up on me? What right do you have!" Harvey exploded in anger.Lionel's heart sank. Their lives would be over if Harvey did not come forward."What's going on, Harvey? Is Yvonne disinclined to come forward?" Lionel asked.Harvey sneered and said, "Samuel answered the call. He said Yvonne was sick.""Sick?" Lionel spat out in disdain. "I think she’s pretending to be sick and is deliberately avoiding everything."As angry as he was, Lionel's IQ was still working perfectly. Regardless of the situation, he had to make sure that Yvonne came forward. The collaboration was not a serious matter, but being kicked out of the Sue family was."Come on, Harvey. I’ll accompany you for a ride," Lionel said.Harvey had a cold expression. He was riled up to no end after Samuel hung up on him, so it was only natural that he wanted to look for Samuel and settle scor
Harvey's Adam's apple squirmed and he swallowed his saliva. Surprisingly, he did not doubt Samuel's words in the slightest."What are you doing?" At that moment, Godfrey and Lydia happened to come back and ran into that scene."Your son-in-law is quite talented, Godfrey. He’s even brave enough to hit my son." Lionel resumed his arrogant appearance after seeing Godfrey because that younger brother of his had been spineless since he was young. He took away Godfrey’s candy when they were young and even snatched Godfrey’s girlfriend when they were studying. Lionel never lost, so he had an inherent sense of superiority in front of Godfrey.Meanwhile, Godfrey had been bullied ever since he was a child, so a psychological shadow loomed over him. Deep in his heart, fear always crept in when he saw his big brother."Samuel, are you crazy? You even—"Godfrey had yet to finish his words when Lydia grabbed hold of him.Even though Lydia had no fond feelings for Samuel in her heart, Harvey had take
Lydia's greatest wish was to find an opportunity to kick Samuel out of their home. As a result, she was thoroughly incensed that Yvonne would speak on Samuel’s behalf and accept their marriage."I’m warning you, Yvonne. Don't end up having feelings for him. You won’t have a good future if you follow such useless men. I’ve experienced it, so this is my lesson to you," Lydia said angrily.During those three years of staying with Samuel, Yvonne's feelings have been developing imperceptibly. She would never divorce Samuel even if the collaboration with Weakriver Real Estate never existed, so why would she do that when Samuel was the one who helped and facilitated the collaboration?The reason for Lydia's harsh attitude toward Samuel was entirely because she believed that Samuel showed little promise. If Yvonne could just tell her about what happened with Weakriver Real Estate, she believed that Lydia’s attitude toward Samuel would definitely change.Nevertheless...Yvonne let out a sigh. ‘
