Chapter 11

Author: Lord Leaf
After the three bows, tears were swirling in Harold’s eyes but he didn’t dare to do anything rash now.

He knew that his grandma was very disappointed and agitated at him now, so no matter what, he shouldn’t enrage her any further.

Lady Wilson heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Harold bowing and admitting defeat.

She didn’t wish for his precious grandson to bow his head at Charlie the loser, but they had made a bet that involved her.

She was a very devoted Buddhist. If Harold didn’t keep his promise, she would certainly be so afraid of the retribution and karma to come at her that she would have trouble eating and sleeping.

Thus, she looked at Harold and said flatly, “Harold, treat these three bows as a lesson for you. Next time, don’t bet on something that you have no absolute certainty of. Even if you wish to make a bet, keep your family out of it!”

With a pouty face, Harold grumbled, “Okay, Grandma, I know better now. I’ll never do it again…”

As he spoke, his eyes glared towards Charlie viciously, thinking, ‘You b*stard! How dare you force me to kneel and bow before you. You made me lose face today, I swear I’ll get right back at you sooner or later!’

Then, Lady Wilson stated, “It is a joyful day today, now that Claire has won the contract. Come on everyone, we must hurry and make our preparations now. We must take this opportunity to build a good partnership with Emgrand Group!”

Charlie reminded, “Grandma, since Claire has succeeded in striking the deal, don’t you think you should announce the appointment of Claire as the director of the company as you’ve promised?”

Lady Wilson arched her eyebrows, thoughts were running in her mind.

She did say that whoever won the contract would be appointed as the company’s director.

However, Claire was not her favorite all this while. Her loser husband had always irritated her too and some ideas were slowly brewing in her mind again.

What if Claire got out of her control after she was appointed such a high position in the company? What would she do then?

In that instant, she wanted to withdraw her promise. After all, she didn’t swear on an oath when she made such a promise, so she wouldn’t feel bad at all if she took it back.

However, saying such a statement right after Claire struck the deal would be unwise, so she said, “Let’s do this instead. Tomorrow night, I’ll hold a banquet, inviting all the prominent and influential people in Aurous Hill to the party. At the banquet, I’ll officially announce our collaboration with Emgrand Group and the appointment of the new director.”

Charlie was relieved with satisfaction after Lady Wilson’s statement.

Claire also smiled, reassured. Finally, the position of the director was hers. She didn’t have to be elbowed and isolated anymore, and her parents could finally stand upright and be proud!

Lady Wilson turned to look at Claire and said, “Claire, I need you to do something for me.”

“Yes, Grandma, what is it?”

“I want you to contact the chairman of Emgrand Group and invite him to attend tomorrow’s banquet.”

After a pause, she continued with anticipation, “If he is able to attend our banquet, it will be an extravagant boost to our family! It will also push our name out to the public, making us more famous!”

Claire pondered for a while and said hesitantly, “But… I only met Doris Young, the vice-chairman, I didn’t see the chairman himself…By the way, don’t you think it’s a little too deliberate to organize the banquet when we’ve just gotten the contract…”

“So what? I want to tell the whole Aurous Hill that we’re now bound to Emgrand Group. We’re going to be very successful and rich!”

Lady Wilson continued, “Even if their chairman doesn’t want to come, you can invite Doris Young, it’s the same. She is the second person in charge of Emgrand Group, she would also be an honorable guest to have at our banquet.”

She was already grinning in excitement when she thought of it. She felt her body pumping with hot blood when she imagined how those big cooperates and families who had discriminated against the Wilson family would have to humble themselves and serve under the Wilson family.

The Wilson family would become more brilliant and lavish in her hands!

Claire pondered for a moment before answering gingerly, “Okay, I understand, I’ll try…”

“Don’t try it! You must!”

Claire nodded reluctantly, then turned to Charlie and whispered, “What should I do? What if the chairman doesn’t attend? What if Doris Young doesn’t want to come too?”

Charlie chuckled and said, “Just try and see. You have Doris Young’s number, don’t you? Maybe she’ll agree as soon as you call her, who knows?”

The purpose of the banquet was not only to demonstrate the strength of the Wilson family but also to announce Claire’s promotion to the director.

As her husband, it would be a joyful event to support his wife and to celebrate her promotion.

At this time, Claire didn’t know that her husband was the chairman of Emgrand Group. She fidgetted her fingers anxiously and sighed before saying, “He is the chairman of Emgrand, I heard that he is some young master from an extremely wealthy family in Eastcliff. This kind of person must be very busy with his daily business, how would he be able to spare the time to attend some whatnot banquet…”

Charlie laughed and said, “I don’t think so. Perhaps he’s someone who spends his time with his wife at home every day, cooking and doing the laundry all day long. Who knows?”

Claire rolled her eyes at him and teased, “Do you think everyone is like you?”

Charlie nodded. “Yes, maybe the boss of Emgrand Group is just like me…”

Claire pursed her lips and snorted, “Cut it out! That’s impossible!”

    Charlie was pleasantly surprised to see that it was Quinn—she had been traveling around the world for her global tour and hadn't returned to Oskia for a while.She was also working very hard because she would be retiring from showbiz altogether, and this would be her farewell tour.Charlie answered her call cheerfully, "It's really been a while since you last called.""Hey, Charlie!" Quinn greeted him eagerly. "I'm boarding a flight back to Eastcliff as we speak.""Where are you right now?" Charlie asked in surprise."Lisbon!" Quinn replied. "It's the last foreign stop planned for my farewell tour, and then I'll be retiring after the last domestic stop!"Charlie asked, "Well, where's the final stop?""Eastcliff!" Quinn replied. "I thought about it a lot, but since the first was in Aurous Hill, I should have the last in Eastcliff. Aurous Hill is where you live, and Eastcliff is where we both grew up. That just makes it all the more meaningful!""That sounds great," Charlie chuck

    The second was the bounty.Once it was confirmed that an individual was a sexual predator, the bounty would be issued online, just like how Matt had issued that bounty on Tanya previously.After that, it could be claimed by anyone as long as the kill was confirmed. The third was the rewards for assistance.Just like video games, a solo kill would see the bounty rewards claimed completely by one individual. However, if it were a joint effort, those who helped would be rewarded too, even if the person only helped by tripping the target off his feet in a chase.With how much money was being offered, they could at least afford over a hundred bounties, even if each cost a hundred million.Naturally, the fund should also reveal the principles on which they operated on.Once the tip was proven true, the list of crimes that the accused committed would be published right away.Naturally, after the evidence comes the bounty.Even if those predators had the power to ensure their own saf

    Pat sighed in exasperation but had no choice but to leave.After Pat left, Greg smiled and nodded at Hank, "Congratulations on a full recovery, Sir. In my career, never have I seen any patient who recovered from any level of pancreatic cancer."Hank nodded, as he was delighted himself that his pancreatic cancer had simply vanished.Lying on his neck and kicking his feet in the air, he thought to himself that every penny spent was worth it, with such a miraculous cure.Still, he couldn't help feeling a little exasperated as he shook his leg and felt his junior dangling limply.His pancreas was cured, but whether he regained his manhood was another question.He would ask Greg or other specialists to examine what the deal was with that, but considering that Charlie was the one who had caused it, he could already foresee that none of them would be able to undo it.Worst of all, word would spread with people subsequently making him a joke, or the hospital might consider him a new aty

    Then, he walked up to Hank, his face glowing with hope. "Sir, can you tell us about your treatment? I have been working as a doctor for so long, but I've never encountered such a miracle. Did Oskia perhaps have some breakthrough in the medical field?"Hank waved him off. "Don't even try—it's pointless. It cost me a whopping billion dollars, so how many others do you think can afford that?""A billion?!" Pat exclaimed in shock. "That treatment cost you... a billion?!""You got that right," Hank replied, cringing inwardly.It would cost him that much either way, whether he chose to cure his cancer or his impotence… Though at this point, curing his cancer made more sense.Dumbstruck, Pat blurted, "A billion dollars… You could just buy a hospital!"Pausing for a moment, he then pressed, "What is it that costs so much? Some state-of-the-art equipment, or some sort of special medicine?"Hank shot back. "Really? You're asking me?"Pat nodded. "Yes… Please recall, if you can, what trea

    As requested, the technician tapped on Hank's previous full-body scan right away, enlarging the section over his pancreas as requested.With the contrasting agent, the scans before had shown that Hank's cancer had grown rapidly, causing the pancreatic head to swell.Pat stared at the scan, murmuring, "There's no mistake—the cancer was there, obvious and huge. How did it just disappear?!"Turning to the technician, he urged, "Quick! Switch to the new scans!"The technician quickly did so, but once again it was obvious—there was no abnormal tumor growth.Pat was left gaping, and he turned to the doctors around him, "Does this even make sense?""Nope," Greg was the one who answered, shaking his head. "Even an ink splotch would leave a smear, but the new images are squeaky clean."Turning to the technician, he asked, "Could it be a machine error?"The technician promptly shook his head. "No. We had system checks when we were notified earlier.""Well, that's strange…" Pat magnifi

    However, the way Greg saw it, Oskian medicine could only offer palliative care in the face of terminal illness.Their doctors weren't even trying to cure their patients, but only to put them at ease for a comfortable death.Which was why Greg presumed that Hank would be getting cancer treatment back home, anyway.He had even called up the best oncologists and asked for referrals to discuss and formulate a plan of action with Hank after he returned.Soon, it was daybreak as Hank's private jet landed at JFK Airport.Instead of going to the hospital by car, he had a helicopter arranged and waiting, taking him straight to the hospital where the doctors were waiting just like last time.Pat Johnson, the dean, hurried to Hank as he got off. "Sir, I really don't think we need another round of tests. We should be formulating a plan of action immediately and starting your treatment right away!"Hank shook his head. "Take blood samples and check my CA199 levels right now, and we will go f
