Chapter 381
The Heiress Strikes Back
381 Never Going To Compromise
âSo what if she apologized?â Wallace frowned. He couldnât understand why his mother still couldnât see the Harris familyâs true colors after so many years.
âI know my grandmother the best. Sheâs only apologizing now because the Harris family is in a critical moment and needs help. In addition, she hopes to use my name to ask for the cooperation. How can she be sincere?â
June quickly tried to convince him, âWallace, what are you saying? Have you forgotten that weâre family? Why do you think so badly of the family? Let me tell you, family is still family no matter what...â
âI wonât go back.â Wallace interrupted June. He knew Matriarchâs thoughts too well, so it was impossible for him to go back and be controlled by others.
âYou child!â June still wanted to say something, but looking at her son, she couldnât make their relationship too stiff, so she threw her dissatisfaction to Sharon.
âLook at what youâve done to Wallace. Grandma had already recognized her mistake. What else do you want him to do? Are you going to make an elder kneel down and apologize to you?â
As she spoke, June raised her head arrogantly and looked at Sharon. âSharon, Iâm telling you, donât be so shameless. If not for the fact that you and Wallace arenât divorced, I wouldnât want you to return to the Harris family. Your grandmother is really sincere this time. She spent a lot of money and gave me a pair of gold bracelets, an agate necklace, and four gold pieces...â
Upon hearing this, Wallace finally understood why Juneâs attitude had changed so quickly. She had accepted his grandmotherâs gift.
âMom, just say that you want those things. Itâs not the first time youâve been bribed because of this. Wasnât it because you were always like this that caused Second Uncle to look down on me?â
Wallaceâs tone was indifferent. He should have known that his mother was such a person.
âBesides, donât vent your anger on Sharon. We all know how the Harris family treated her, so itâs only right to let her decide whether she wants to go back.â
Sighing, Wallace didnât seem to want to say anything else. He held Sharonâs hand, as if he wanted to comfort her.
Seeing that Wallace had turned his head and ignored her, June instantly lost her temper. She shouted at Xenon, âLook at your son. His heart is filled with his useless wife. To put it nicely, sheâs a celebrity. To put it bluntly, what did she bring to the family?â
Unexpectedly, Xenon opened his mouth but did not say a word in the end. He turned around and walked out of the room.
Looking at Wallaceâs hand, Sharon was stunned. For a moment, she didnât know how to react.
âThe Harris family understands my motherâs nature and knows that she is a person who is greedy for money. Thatâs why my mother will speak up for them after receiving the jewelry. She doesnât remember how those people bullied our family... Iâm sorry...â
âYour mother hasnât gone out yet! Rascal, do you think I donât exist?â June stomped her feet in anger. She felt very uncomfortable being called a money-grubber by her son.
Although Sharon was unhappy, it wasnât convenient for her to say anything about June. Looking at Wallace, Sharon actually had the thought of comforting him. âWeâre still family after all. Mom might be hoping that our relationship wonât be so tense. We just have to be careful of those peopleâs despicable methods. Donât worry, no matter what decision you make, Iâll support you.â
Wallace nodded. There were so many things that had happened recently that he was extremely confused about. The man behind Xenia who framed Sharon hadnât been found yet, and the York family was making things difficult for the construction company under him. He needed to solve these matters.
âDonât worry. After I solve everything, you wonât have any worries and can do what you want in peace.â
Looking at Wallace, Sharon couldnât guess which one was the real him. If he really loved her so much, why was he so close to Crystal that day?
âAlso, I wonât go back. Donât worry about this.â
When June heard this, she was instantly furious. âAfter talking for so long, youâre still not going back. Thatâs the Harris familyâs hundred-year foundation. Are you giving it up to others just like that?â
âThe Harris family is only left with a shell now. Why would I want a reputation and an empty shell?â Wallace was very calm. Since he had already made up his mind, there was nothing he couldnât say to June.
