Honorable Hubby Behind Me novel Chapter 10

"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, i

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. 1

"Yvonne doesn't feel anything for that piece of trash. If I didn't attach any importance to the Sue family's reputation, I would've had them divorced long ago. The situation that you’re worried about will never happen," the old lady said.

Harvey gritted his teeth and continued, "Grandma, no one can tell what'll happen in the future. We have to put our guards up. Since the contract has already been signed, it wouldn't affect it if someone else replaces her. Do you want to bet the Sue family's future on Yvonne and Samuel's relationship?"

The old lady's expression became somber upon hearing that.

Although Yvonne and Samuel were married on paper only, in the future, no one could tell whether their relationship might turn for the better after they had pillow talk.

The west side project was very important to the Sue family because it could greatly enhance the status of the Sue family in Cloud City. It meant that anyone in charge of this project would potentially have a better position in the company next time. 2

If Yvonne won over the hearts of the people, the Sue family might actually fall into the hands of that outsider named Samuel.

"Grandma, Samuel has tolerated everything for so many years. I suspect that he's doing it with a purpose. Maybe he’s just waiting for this day," Harvey continued adding fuel to the fire. 1

The old lady snorted coldly and said, "That rubbish dares to covet our Sue family's property? What a foolish dreamer. Let's do this instead. You'll be responsible for the project and I'll give Yvonne a call

right now."

Upon hearing those words, Harvey was delighted but still pretended to be calm on the surface. He replied," Grandma, I'm not trying to take Yvonne's credit. I'm just doing it for the sake of the Sue family." 1

At the old lady's age, she had already gained lots of experience from the world. She could not possibly be oblivious to Harvey's thoughts.

"You don't need to say such unnecessary things. I know what you're thinking. Also, don’t try to play tricks in front of me next time. That tea cake isn't even fit to be fed to a pig," the old lady shot back sharply.

Harvey nodded again and again before saying, "You're right, Grandma. From now on, I'll do things earnestly." 1

Yvonne was gathering the information they needed when the phone call from her grandma struck her like lightning.

Although the collaboration was negotiated easily, she was the one who went and did the negotiation. How could it be handed over to Harvey for no reason?

"Grandma, I..."

"Enough. I've already decided. You can take a leave tomorrow."

Yvonne gritted her teeth with hatred as she listened to the dial tone on the phone. She knew Harvey must have done something sneaky behind her back to

make their grandma replace her.

Not long later, her phone rang again, with a call from Harvey, that time. 3

When she answered the phone, she heard Harvey's proud voice, "Yvonne, you didn't think that you'd get the chance to change your fortunes, did you? Well, let me tell you that you’ll forever live beneath my feet in your entire life." 1

"Harvey, you despicable, shameless, and vile man. I was the one who negotiated this collaboration," Yvonne said unwillingly.

"And what of it? Grandma asked me to be responsible. Are you brave enough to voice any objections?

Logically speaking, I should be the one saying thank you, because without you, I would never have had the chance to be responsible for this project. But who was it that made us into enemies? You’re destined to be useless in this life with that good-for-nothing. In fact, it's good that way. You just need to get by your life, eat, and wait until you die. You don't even need to- "

Yvonne hung up before Harvey finished speaking. She was so angry that her hair stood on end.

Grandmother Sue had decided, and Yvonne knew that she could not change a thing. Harvey was showing off before her, and she could not do anything about it.

"AGGGGHHHHH!" Yvonne roared in despair.

The noise shocked Godfrey and Lydia, who ran from the room into the living room.
