197 Unspoken Rules
Wallace didn’t notice the passion and excitement in Laura’s eyes the moment she brought him to her office and closed the door.
She quietly locked the office door before inviting Wallace to sit down and talk.

“I wonder why Wallace is looking for my Zion today?” Laura looked a little uneasy, twisting her sleeves as if she were very excited.
“Ms. Laura, I came to you this time because I have a collaboration to discuss. You also know that our Harris Group has been having financial problems recently. If possible, we want to buy a batch of construction materials to use.”
“On credit...” Laura revealed a meaningful expression. “Actually, you should know about our flourishing situation, Wallace. We never sell on credit, nor do we send materials first. You have to pay first.”
“I know,” Wallace said apologetically. “Our Harris Group really doesn’t have a choice, but don’t worry. You also know that my current partner is the Sullivan Group. The company under me is also running smoothly. As long as we can survive this period, we will immediately make up for the materials cost.”
“Although that’s the case, I think you should know why we set this rule!” In fact, Wallace had heard about this matter. Their company was easygoing in the past, but they had a partner who wanted to take the goods first before paying. They didn’t expect that they wouldn’t be able to get back the 200-million-dollar fee for the construction materials!
“So Wallace, I really... Those business partners who reneged on their debts would say that, but they actually didn’t pay in the end.” At this point, Laura shook her head and said emotionally, “I really have no choice, so I can only stop all channels of credit. You can ask for materials, and I have a lot of materials here, but you have to pay first or pay the deposit first.”
Wallace nodded. He had thought of this, but the Harris family was short of funds now, so it was really not convenient for them to take out that money. If he paid out of his own pocket, it would be exactly what Madam Harris wanted. If anything happened again, his company would probably not be safe.
However, this was business. Since he had this principle, he couldn’t say anything else. He just stood up and smiled gently. “Since that’s the case, I’m sorry, Ms. Laura. I’ll go back and tell Grandma. We’ll get the funds in place as soon as possible before discussing the cooperation.”
Seeing that Wallace was about to leave, Laura quickly rushed forward to stop him. She immediately said, “What I said just now was for ordinary partners, but since we’re working with you... We naturally have to settle these matters separately.”
Wallace frowned slightly and couldn’t help but ask, “What does Ms. Laura mean?”
Laura reached out and placed her hand on Wallace’s chest, her eyes shining with greed. To be honest, Wallace is simply too perfect-so perfect that I’m tempted. All these years, I have been facing that useless man at home. That ugly and fat man is worlds apart from Wallace.
Wallace’s looks are simply impeccable, and his figure is exceptionally moving. Such a man is simply top-notch! Why don’t I have such luck? Why did such a man marry such a woman?! I have also seen Sharon’s photo and information. Other than being a little younger, there is nothing else she can do to help Wallace. Is she better than me?
At the thought of this, Laura was excited. Wallace is much more handsome than those men in special industries. Looking at Wallace’s face, I feel like there are countless ants crawling around in my heart.
If it weren’t for the sake of maintaining a good image, I wouldn’t have been willing to waste my time doing such a thing. I would’ve divorced Zion long ago. After so many years, the two of us have already gone our separate ways. I’ve never even had the chance to interact with such a top-notch man. Most of my life is already over, and I still have to waste her time on that fat pig.
I’ll let him have a good time today. I must make Wallace my man-I want this young man who is known throughout the city to be crazy about me. At the thought of this, Laura smiled and said, “Hey, Wallace, you’re treating me like an outsider. Since you have this need, we can have a good chat! I’m much easier to talk to than you think. This matter isn’t as difficult as you think.”
“Huh? Could it be that Ms. Laura can decide whether to let us pay us on credit?”
