Chapter 16 Shameless Harold Family Members

Lily was stunned. "What bride? What handover?"

Evelyn Willow chuckled, "You still don't know? That's interesting. You'll find out soon enough. In the meantime, let me congratulate you in advance!"

Lily and George exchanged a glance and could tell from her words that it wasn't pleasant.

Especially George, he glimpsed at Tom inside with a feeling of unease.

Time quickly reached four o'clock.

Inside the banquet hall, it was already packed with people.

Mrs. Liu had a radiant face, wearing a pale white silk shirt, standing under the spotlight at the front.

She raised her hands.

The whole place quieted down.

"Today, is the 15th anniversary of Willows Building Materials. We thank all our friends, business partners, and everyone from the business field who have come to this anniversary banquet."

"Clap, clap, clap—"

The crowd applauded.

"As per tradition, the younger generation of the Willow family needs to showcase their achievements, rank according to experience, and will be rewarded based on merit. However, this time, there's something special! Because today, we have only one winner, and that is..."

Mrs. Liu intentionally paused for a moment.

In the next second.

"Poof—"

A spotlight shone on Lily.

"My beautiful granddaughter, Lily!"

"Lily has won for us the Fonda Group..."

"The Fonda group's billion-dollar project contract, she is the indisputable champion of this year's performance!"

"Lily, you did great. Grandma is very satisfied. Now, come to Grandma's side."

At that moment, Lily became the center of attention.

Her figure was graceful and beautiful, dressed in a professional OL suit, wrapping around her exquisite and well-proportioned body. She exuded both purity and sensuality, a blend of elegance and allure. Every man present showed a longing expression.

Blushing slightly, Lily held onto George's hand and walked towards the stage.

George tried to pull away, but she held onto him tightly. "This is your achievement, you should come up with me."

"Alright!"

George reached back and held her hand, feeling its delicate and smooth texture.

This scene made many men feel uncomfortable within themselves.

As soon as they got on stage.

Mrs. Liu stared at George with an unfriendly gaze. "I called for Lily, it seems like it has nothing to do with you, a useless person. What are you doing up here?"

Lily hurriedly said, "Grandma, it was George who played a role in the successful negotiation of the Fonda group's contract. It was him who helped me secure the billion-dollar project. Without him, I couldn't have completed the contract."

Mrs. Liu's eyes turned cold as she stared at George. “Was what she said true?"

George nodded, “Yes!"

The next moment, Mrs. Liu burst into laughter. "George, you're rubbish, but I never thought you would be shameless and stoop so low. The billion-dollar contract from Fonda group, did you bring it? Why aren't you flying in the sky then?"

Lily anxiously said, "Grandma, he's telling the truth.""Nonsense!"

Mrs. Liu sneered, "Lily, you have been deceived by this guy. Do you even know what this billion-dollar contract is? It's a gift from Tom, the junior chairman of the Harolds group, to you!

Yesterday, I personally witnessed it with my own eyes and heard it from Charles Harold, the head of the Harold family, who helped bring the contract! George, how dare you claim credit for it? How shameless can you be?"

What?

Lily was stunned.

George was also dumbfounded.

And the countless guests in the banquet hall burst into laughter.

Soon, Tom walked out, dressed in Armani, full of confidence.

He stood tall in front of George.

"George, have you completely lost all sense of shame? The day before yesterday, you brought a glass necklace claiming it was the Heart of the Ocean, to give to Lily. And then, you spread rumors saying you settled Fonda’s Mr. Reeze. And today, you dare to say that you brought this billion-dollar contract. Did you even ask me?"

The next moment, Florence ran out as well.

Without saying a word, she slapped George across the face and shouted angrily:

"You disgraceful waste of space, I have long suspected that with your pathetic existence, what ability do you have to secure a billion-dollar contract for Lily? Indeed, it's all lies, you're beyond redemption. You're not worthy to be my son-in-law!" George never expected Tom to stoop so low.

Now, with guests filling the room, he dared to blatantly speak falsehoods while looking straight into George's eyes.

But George only cared about Lily. Noticing something amiss in her expression, her eyes turning cold, he quickly said, "Lily, don't believe a word he says. Everything he says is just to deceive you. I can prove that I was the one who secured the billion-dollar contract for you."

"You beast!"

At this moment, an elderly man approached.

It was the head of the Harold family, Charles Harold.

"Gran... Grandfather?" George looked at Charles Harold in shock. He never expected him to show up.

"You degenerate! I am not your grandfather!" Charles Harold pointed at George and cursed, "You disgraceful thing, you have tarnished the reputation of the Harold family! That billion-dollar contract was my doing, a betrothal gift from my grandson Tom to the Willow family. What does it have to do with you, you degenerate? Your father was corrupt, and you have a shameless face. None of you deserve to be a part of my Harold family. Get lost!"
