Nicole let Madam Harris pull her and the two of them walked straight to the sofa in the living room. Then, Madam Harris said earnestly, “Nicole, you know that with the Harris Corporation in this state, our situation is not something that we can overcome easily.”
“Grandma, I know about this too…” Nicole couldn’t help but lower her head.
“I don’t want to talk about the past anymore. Let’s focus on the present.” Madam Harris’ tone was filled with helplessness and pity. “If the Harris family continues to be like this, I’m afraid it will affect your future.”
Nicole knew what Madam Harris meant. After all, her marriage was closely related to the Harris family. If the Harris family continued to be like this, her future would probably not be good, and would definitely be dark.
Madam Harris looked at Nicole and knew that she had taken her words to heart. Then, she said very seriously, “Nicole, you didn’t suffer any grievances in our family in the past. Your family allowed to not work after graduation, but the situation is different now. You have to mature as soon as possible and share some of the responsibility for this family. Otherwise, as you can see our situation now, I really don’t want you to live such a hard life.”
When Nicole heard this, she actually felt a little unfair because she had not benefited from the Harris family at all. In fact, many problems were caused by Zachary and Zaron.
“It’s Grandma. I’m sorry. It’s all my fault for being too playful. I didn’t learn anything and couldn’t help the family with anything.” Nicole thought of Zachary’s words and compromised with Madam Harris.
“Alright, alright. What happened in the past is in the past. You’re Grandma’s baby. How can Grandma really blame you?” Madam Harris held Nicole’s hand intimately, looking kind and filial, looking very amiable.
As she spoke, Madam Harris brought up the topic again. “Now, there’s a very good opportunity to let us return to our original state of life. Not only can we resolve the crisis at home, but we can also let you stand up again. You might be able to become superior, but you still have to rely on yourself to seize the opportunity.”
Nicole thought for a moment before saying slowly, “Grandma, are you talking about Chairman Sand? But Chairman Sand is… old enough to be my grandfather!”
Zachary and Zaron had been sitting at the side in silence. It was only now that Zaron persuaded, “We are just asking you to accompany him. We didn’t say what we want you to do with him. Besides, he still has to decide if he wants you..
“That’s right!” Madam Harris quickly continued, “To put it bluntly, our relationship isn’t that good. He only came for our parents’ last wish. He has no obligation to help us.”
“Then Grandma… what do you mean?” Nicole asked in confusion.
“We hope that you can seize this opportunity. I can tell that he wants to introduce you to his friend!” Madam Harris said directly.
“But does it mean that we have to let Nicole accompany him? He can do such a thing at his age?” Zachary couldn’t help but be surprised.
“It’s normal for men and women to partake in such love acts at this age. Although he’s an old man, he might have the energy! He has money, power, connections, and resources. If she follows him, she can have anything she wants. Isn’t she better than those useless young people?” Zaron was a little dissatisfied with his father’s words and said directly.
Unexpectedly, Zachary shook his head this time. “No, if Third Brother finds out, I’m afraid he’ll fall out with us. He definitely won’t be able to accept it!” “Can’t accept it? When has he ever interfered in the Harris family’s matters?” Madam Harris snorted and asked, “Then endure your poverty. When the Harris family goes bankrupt, this villa will have to be sold. At that time, you can dream of inheriting anything!”
“Let me tell you, the properties under our names will definitely be mortgaged to the bank in the end. When the time comes, our family will be starving on the streets. I won’t have many years to live, so it doesn’t matter. But what about you? What will you do then? Live on the dilapidated streets as a failed son for the rest of your lives?”
Madam Harris’ words rendered Zachary speechless. Although he didn’t care, he still had to give his third brother face.
Otherwise, his third brother would blame their family for selling his daughter… But that was because their family was indeed poor now. There was no other way…
Just as Zachary was still making his choice, Nicole, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said slowly, “Grandma, if I can help the Harris Group, I’m willing, but I have a condition too!”
