21 President

Nicole stood there and looked at Zachary and Louis for help, but the two of them turned their heads away unnaturally. At this moment, everyone knew that they couldn’t afford to lose the old lady’s favor for the sake of Nicole, nor could they offend Wallace.

“I...” Feeling everyone’s cold gazes, Nicole stuttered and looked at Crystal. Since Crystal is so kind, she would definitely be willing to help me. As long as Crystal asks, Wallace will never speak to that woman again.

Nicole could only place her last hope on Crystal, but she didn’t expect the latter to just be quietly drinking tea and completely ignoring her situation.

“Nicole, have you thought it through? Do you want to kowtow and admit your wrongdoings, or do you want to make your curse come true on Grandma?” Every word Sharon said sounded like a devil’s voice in Nicole’s ears.

If I abide by the bet today, I will only lose a little dignity. But if I don’t abide by the bet today, Grandma might not love me as much as before. If I have to weigh the pros and cons, I would rather lose my dignity. At the thought of this, she immediately kneeled down without any hesitation. When she met Sharon’s face, Nicole felt like vomiting.

Under everyone’s gazes, Nicole’s body trembled as she prostrated at Sharon’s feet.

Zachary secretly took out his phone and captured this scene.

“I was wrong. I shouldn’t have spouted nonsense.” Nicole’s voice trembled. I will definitely return today’s humiliation to Sharon a thousand-fold over.

“Apologize louder and more sincerely. I didn’t hear what you just said.”

Nicole lowered her head, bent down, and lightly kowtowed. She held back her tears of humiliation and shouted, “I’m sorry. I was wrong!”

“Then, what did you do wrong?” Sharon looked at Nicole, who was in front of her. Even though the latter was apologizing, there was no regret in her eyes. Instead, there was anger and hatred.

Nicole gritted her teeth. “I was wrong to doubt Big Brother’s ability... I shouldn’t have bet on him failing...”

It’s no wonder that the Harris family likes to verbally abuse me. To a certain extent, treating other people in this manner makes me feel good. However, I don’t want to be like the Harris family! I won’t bully others like this! When Nicole reluctantly wanted to kowtow a second time, Sharon stopped her. “Since you know you’re in the wrong, pay more attention to what you say next time.”

On the surface, this sentence was meant for Nicole to hear, but Sharon’s voice was very loud as if she were warning everyone who mocked her.

Wallace was a little surprised, suddenly feeling that his wife was different from before. However, he couldn’t specifically pinpoint what was different about her. Recently, her behavior has been abnormal. Previously, she encouraged me to engage in collaboration talks with Sullivan and kept saying that she believed in me. At that time, I felt that it was strange. It was as if Sharon had already known that I would succeed. Where did she get the confidence from?

After being helped up by Sharon, Nicole’s tears finally fell uncontrollably. But she didn’t dare to say anything else, afraid that she would say something wrong and make Madam Harris unhappy again.

Crystal looked at the surrounding atmosphere. It seems that it’s time.

She quickly walked to Nicole’s side and brought her to a seat to rest.

“Since Sharon doesn’t mind anymore, let’s end this matter here! Nicole knows she did wrong.” Crystal looked at Madam Harris.

Madam Harris nodded and felt a little better. She actually didn’t want her granddaughter to apologize and kowtow to Sharon, but Wallace didn’t look happy either, and this bet was also related to her life.

“This time, I’m teaching you a lesson. In the future, for matters that you can’t handle, don’t provoke others. Even if you want to make a bet, don’t implicate your family.” Sharon educated Nicole, but the latter buried her head in Crystal’s arms.

“Grandma, Nicole knows she’s in the wrong. She’ll never do something like this again; just forgive her this once.” At this moment, Crystal stood up and pretended to be a good person. She comforted Nicole and also won Madam Harris’s favor.

Her words undoubtedly gave the old lady a way out. “Today is the day Wallace got this contract. Let’s hurry up and pack up. Let’s celebrate our collaboration with Sullivan!”

Sharon-who was completely ignored-suddenly said, “Grandma, since Wallace has successfully negotiated the project, can we give him the position of Harris Group CEO?”

Hearing this, Madam Harris raised her eyebrows, and her heart skipped a beat!

I did indeed say that before, but Wallace is a junior after all, and he is my eldest daughter’s child. If possible, I still want to hand over the family business to Zachary. Thinking of this, she started to ponder again.
