"Where’s Miss Sue?" Liam asked in a seemingly casual manner.
Harvey thought that Liam was just asking casually, so he figured he could just cook up an excuse and be done with it. "She's sick. I’ll be responsible for the follow-up collaboration with your company in the future."
Liam nodded and said, "In that case, let's talk after Miss Sue recovers."
Liam then turned and left after speaking.
Harvey froze for a moment before quickly catching up with Liam and saying, "Mr. Jude, it's the same even if I’m heading this project. Don’t worry, I'm much more capable than Yvonne. Collaborating with your company-"
Before Harvey could finish speaking, Liam stopped beside his car. "There are plenty of people who want t o collaborate with Weakriver Real Estate. Since the Sue family appears very much insincere, I'll have to reconsider the collaboration."
Harvey stood dumbfounded as he watched Liam's car drive away. He thought that Liam would not care much about that at all, but what surprised him was Liam's tough as nails attitude. 1 'I’ll have to reconsider the collaboration!'
That sentence made Harvey's scalp numb. The Sue family had always been a company of average strength amongst their many competitors. Being able t o secure the collaboration was a rarity in itself. Would the old lady not kill him if it was destroyed in his hands? 2
What should he do?
Did he really have to ask Yvonne to come forward?
Harvey was unwilling to resign himself to that. He had just only demonstrated his influence to Yvonne the night before. Would he still have a reputation if he asked her to clean up his mess?
It was then that Harvey's phone rang.
"Harvey, your grandma has already arrived at the company. Is Liam here yet?" Lionel asked. He was actually rather smug at that juncture because the opportunity he seized from Yvonne could cement Harvey's position in the company. As long as Harvey completed everything, Lionel would certainly become the chairman of the Sue family's company.
"I'm coming to the meeting room right away," Harvey replied solemnly.
All the relatives of the Sue family were present in the meeting room. After all, it was such an important project, and in order to show their sincerity, no one dared to be absent.
Grandmother Sue sat at the chairman’s seat, and when she saw Harvey coming to the meeting room alone, she asked, "Hasn't Liam arrived yet?"
"Grandma." Harvey lowered his head and greeted her. 1
Grandmother Sue eyebrows wrinkled and she questioned, "What’s the matter? You didn't offend Liam, did you?"
The other Sue family members cast worried looks at Harvey when they heard Grandmother Sue's question, none more so than Lionel. He was still proud that Harvey got this opportunity, but if Harvey messed up, the hope for him to take up the chairman’s seat in the future was slim.
