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!”

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7140

    Hank and the cabal were on the verge of a mental breakdown.They just couldn't understand—the things they did on their own private property were their own concern.Why was this Oskian insisting on hounding them?! It made sense if they were a fellow compatriot feeling a sense of righteousness, but Oskia was on the opposite end of the globe. What was that if not an outrageous sense of justice?!But as the leader, Hank was panicking and asked before he knew it, "Mr. Wade? Why do you insist on making things difficult for us? Unlike Mr. Rothschild, we lack ambition and have already made enough money—money we can waste for the rest of our lives."The difference is that we've simply had a taste of what the mundane could never hope to have, and we derive joy in that. What's the point of living if you would deny us even that?"Pursing his lips pleadingly, he continued, "Let's be reasonable about this, alright? There won't be coercion, and anything goes as long as it's consensual—don't yo

    Once the concert was over, Charlie sent Claire home before heading to Heaven Springs.Claire wasn't worried as Charlie was basically a member of Tanya's crew at this point, and having a meal together after a successful concert was only natural.Tanya arrived at Heaven Springs just as Charlie did, while the cabal were present too.This time, each of them was nervous when they saw Charlie, and he asked when he saw the looks on their faces, "What's up, guys? You don't look as radiant as you did yesterday."Being the representative, Hank cut straight to the chase, "Mr. Wade, may I ask what you did yesterday to affect our potency? Was it poison?""Poison?" Charlie chuckled. "Are you suggesting that there's something capable of castration but is also colorless, painless, tasteless, and doesn't cause any physical reaction at all? Now, that's a miracle if I've ever encountered one."Hank frowned. "So, you're denying it?""Oh, but I'm not," Charlie waved him off. "I did castrate you boys

    After news about those private island escapades and artists' wild parties had gone global, almost every celebrity was suddenly suspected of the same interests.Naturally, that included the Rothschilds—but as the family never really responded to such gossip and rumors, it remained nothing more than speculation.Hank naturally didn't want any trouble for himself, so he chuckled awkwardly, "Please, Mr. Rothschild. There's no reason to get so upset with a bunch of spineless worms like us. We are so insignificant compared to you—""Word of advice? Cut the crap," Julien snorted in disdain. "Pay up for dinner, and I mean both nights. That's 20 million per head, and I'll send the account number later. Your deal with Mr. Wade is your business—I won't intervene.""Oh, okay!" Hank promptly agreed to it.Naturally, he wasn't keen on spending a billion outright, but he could spend 20 million for now and see how things went. After flattering Julien before hanging up, Hank was glowering as he

    The rest of the cabal thought about it and nodded slightly—eliminate the impossible, and whatever remained, however improbable, had to be the truth.Hence, voting Hank as their representative, they contacted Julien.Julien was just hating on them to the bone.He had really thought that everyone would show him, the heir apparent of the Rothschilds, due respect.But as it turned out, those geezers were sick and twisted—so obsessed with their fetish that they were willing to give up on their future.And they had definitely called his bluff.Even as the heir apparent of the Rothschilds, the only threat he posed was enforcing boycotts in business, denying them wealth. So, once the cabal decided that they no longer cared how much money they made, as they had enough to spend for the rest of their lives, Julien was no threat to them at all.As such, he was still seething when he got Hank's call first thing in the morning, and he immediately snapped, "What the fuck are you calling me f

    When dawn arrived the next day, the cabal member whose heart had stopped was now stable, along with the rest.The doctors advised them to stay for observation, but they simply brushed past him as they were used to overdosing, even on drugs.By morning, Hank and the rest of the cabal had quickly discharged themselves.Their friend whose heart had stopped was still weakened, but he insisted on leaving too—he was not going to die, and staying in the hospital was pointless.Moreover, the longer they stayed in public, the more likely they could get caught and exposed.Hence, as they left Silverwing Hospital together, Hank asked, "So, did you all notice something strange?""Strange?" One of them asked in return. "You mean it's strange that we're all having… Performance issues?"Hank frowned. "What, are you saying that's not strange?""Well, yeah," the other man nodded, pursing his lips. "I was just wondering if that Oskian man did something to us. Why else would we suffer the same th

    Hank asked, "What? Where are you taking me?""A private ward, Sir," the nurse replied.Hank was shocked. "Wait, does that mean we're still at risk?""You can ask the doctor, not me."As the nurse finished speaking, Hank was wheeled into an independent room.Once the nurse helped Hank settle in, two uniformed officers strode in, one of them staring fixedly at him. "Good evening—we're from Aurous Hill precinct. Can we confirm that you overdosed on sildenafil?"Hank scowled unhappily. "Well, yeah. I took too many pills…"The officer nodded and pressed, "Why would you do that?"Hank scowled even harder. "Because I couldn't get it up!"The officer raised a brow—at least the man was honest.As such, he tried to frame the next question politely, "Do you understand that sex tourism is a violation of Oskian laws?""But it's not sex tourism!" Hank groaned. "I just said I couldn't get it up—like, I'm motivated, but it just ain't working! Are you mocking me, officer?!"The officer purs
