The Heiress Strikes Back

Sharon was an ordinary person, while her husband, Wallace Harris, was a promising and handsome man. His family was one of the most prestigious and wealthiest families in New York City. Being able to marry Wallace was an accident. Throughout their three years of marriage, Wallace had never slept with Sharon. His family also kept persuading him to divorce Sharon. It was the birthday party of the Harris family's old matriarch, and all youngsters of the Harris family had given the most expensive gifts possible to make the old lady happy—everyone but Sharon. She asked to borrow money from Madam Harris for the old housekeeper, Uncle Smith, as he had no money to pay for his medical treatment. But as expected, the Harris family humiliated her when she requested. "The Harris family has never had a poor relative like you. Don't you ever appear in front of me again! Wallace should've married Crystal. She's certainly a young lady who's worthy of marrying into our family!" said Madam Harris. "Please know your place and get out of here. Don't stay at our house anymore. How can Wallace's grandfather be so foolish to marry a poor, useless woman like you to my son?!" said June, Wallace's mother. "It's just a few million dollars, yet you're so poor that you need to borrow from our family. How can a woman like you deserve to be with Wallace? If it were Crystal, she definitely wouldn't have embarrassed us so much!" That night, Wallace handed Sharon a bank card, which contained millions of dollars. "The company is developing, so I don't have much cash. You can use this to help Uncle Smith." Facing the Harris family's hostility, Wallace stated, "Since I have married her, she is my responsibility. Regardless of her being rich or poor, Sharon is my wife." It wasn't until a stranger approached Sharon one day. Only then did Sharon know that she was the daughter of a top prestigious family, who was eligible to receive assets worth at least ten billion. She suddenly owned the largest company in New York and a bank card that contained hundreds of millions of 'pocket money.' In the blink of an eye, her identity had changed. She was no longer the poor daughter-in-law that wasn't favored by the Harris family. Instead, she had become the most prestigious person in New York!

Transformation of Identity

"Ten billion dollars?" Sharon stared at the man in front of her in disbelief.

In the past, she only knew that her grandfather's family was very rich. However, she was too young back then and was very ignorant about money. She didn't even understand what her grandfather's family did.

She had only heard that her mother's family directly controlled a financial reserve system. There was an independent and private central bank, which was the largest holder of organized debt in many countries, including gangs, and kept secrets for the shareholders.

Hence, she didn't know how much money her grandfather's family had, but at this moment, she could make a clear comparison.

Ten billion dollars was the net worth of the entire Harris Group, but Grandpa said it was her pocket money. Therefore, the Xavier Group's market value would probably exceed a trillion dollars!

At this moment, Sharon admitted that she was tempted. But at the thought of her father's death and her mother changing her name and leading a wandering life, Sharon couldn't forgive her grandfather.

The man seemed to have noticed her hesitation and hurriedly explained, "Miss, you are indeed a member of the Xavier family! You deserve this money and business, and strictly speaking, this money belongs to Miss Lynn, your mother!

"Master also said that if you are willing to go back, the family's financial business, car manufacturing operations, fashion business… are all for your choosing. You will also get a share of the family assets. Master will always be waiting for you. As for this money, it's just your living expenses."

Perhaps because there was too much information, Sharon couldn't react in time.

"Also, the Sullivan Group in New York, which has a market value of over 100 billion dollars, has been bought over by us. You are now the biggest shareholder of this company. As the CEO, you can go to the company and take over at any time."

Didn't Grandpa hate Father? Why did he spend so much money on me? Ten billion dollars plus a hundred-billion-dollar company!

Although New York was a place where the rich and powerful gathered, the Sullivan Group's position was unshakeable. Even the Harris Group had to consider whether they could go head to head with it because it had a firm grasp on the New York real estate, cable, and steel business. They were considered an industry giant in all these industries.

Not to mention that the Carter family, who had insulted her today, wasn't even worth mentioning in front of the Sullivan Group.

But now, I've become the largest shareholder of the company. Is this possible?

Just as she was feeling conflicted, the man handed her a business card and said with concern, "Miss, you might need to calm down and think about it seriously. It's not convenient for me to disturb you at this time. This is my business card. My name is John, but you can just call me Uncle John for Master's sake. I've been in New York for a while now, so if there's anything you need, just tell me."

With that, John turned around and left, leaving Sharon in a daze, who knew not what to do.

She really didn't know if she should accept the Xavier Group's sponsorship. But on second thought, the pain of her mother's death and the mockery she received when she married into the Harris family over the past ten years of her life were all because of her grandfather's ruthlessness. If he wanted to make it up to her and her mother now, it was understandable for her to accept it.

Furthermore, Uncle Smith had been taking good care of her ever since she entered the Harris family. His health treatment could no longer be delayed. Even if she solved the problem of his liver being damaged, she would still need to pay a considerable sum for future treatment.

At this thought, Sharon picked up the card and took a deep breath. She then gritted her teeth and walked to the payment counter. "Hello, I am here to pay one million dollars for the bill of Smith. He is currently warded in the ICU."

While shivering, she swiped the card and entered the password. This was the first time Sharon had so much money.

Two hours ago, she was the Cinderella that everyone looked down on. Now, she had become a billionaire.

Before she even entered the villa, she could already hear the sounds of quarrels from within.

Sharon sighed. It's probably not going to be easy today.

They didn't live in the Harris family mansion but in a separate villa. Ever since Sharon married Wallace and Mr. Harris passed away, Madam Harris had found a random reason to send them away.

Other than Wallace, who was often called back, everyone else was busy with their own business.

At this moment, Wallace's mother was furious and kept cursing. "Sharon, that b*tch! Our eldest branch of the family lost so much face today. If you don't divorce her, will you still have a place in the Harris family?"

Wallace closed the book in his hand and said calmly, "I have my own company; I don't need to worry about this."

"You! Are you stupid? What's so good about that poor woman? Hurry up and divorce her!" Wallace's mother said anxiously. "Marry Crystal immediately, and our family will have a better life!"
