Chapter 11

Penulis: 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 7011

    There were concerts where certain seat tickets were worth ten times that of a standard ticket, or even dozens.As such, forget international sensations like Tanya—even front row seats in concerts of Oskian's best singers would be inflated. When it cost over just two thousand Oskian dollars at best, the final marked-up price would be twenty, even thirty times that. As such, even fifty thousand Oskian dollars wasn't going to cut it for front row seats at a concert, especially in the big city.That rule applied to Tayna even more, especially in Canada—the central seats were known to cost fifty grand, with some fans even competing to get the hundred grand seats.The organizers of the concert didn't just decide who would get the front row seats—they had the right to decide who would get the other 45,000 tickets. It was not just the best seats where it was common to see prices increase by dozens of times, but even the worst seats at the furthest end could be doubled, if not tripled, the s

    As Charlie finished, Tanya blurted in surprise, "Wait, so you're really serious about holding concerts in Oskia?""Yeah," Charlie nodded calmly. "You've never had a concert in Oskia before, have you? You can use this opportunity to surprise your Oskian fans, which will do wonders for your career. And I can promise you this—you will be safe once you touch down over there, but it's still up to you if you want to go.""Y-Yes, I'll go…" Tanya nodded without hesitation.Under normal circumstances, Tanya might have had other considerations.But this time, deep down, she had no desire to refuse. If anything, it felt as if there were multiple voices in her mind, urging her to agree with Charlie.Seeing that Tanya agreed, Charlie said, "Then, let's go into detail on our agreement, as Mr. Mitsui is here, and he's a shareholder of Universal Music."All of Tanya's performance fees for her Oskian concerts will be paid according to the usual rates. I have no issue with a complete buyout or jus

    Tanya pursed her lips and said gingerly, "M-My family is back home in the States… I miss them, and home feels safe…"Charlie shrugged. "Do you really think home is safe after today? That your family has enough influence to stand against the people who want you dead?"Tanya was once again reminded of Charlie's insight earlier, and she sighed, shaking her head. "A-Alright, I won't go back… I'll just try to offer an olive branch to them like you said, and only head back when they provide assurance of a safe passage…"Charlie nodded approvingly, like a parent would when their child was behaving. "Why not hold a few more concerts after Tokyo? And don't stay at Mr. Mitsui's residence since it won't do if you keep imposing on the old fellow—drop by Oskia instead.""What? Oskia?!" Tanya blurted in surprise."Yes," Charlie replied, nodding. "It's not that far. Just a three-hour flight from Tokyo."Tanya remained bemused. "B-But what am I going to do there?""Oh, that's true—you are a pub

    Charlie shook his head. "The people who want you dead were actually your allies who want to jump ship by cleaning house and save their own skin now that things have changed. It's the principle of sacrificing your friend when you run into a hungry bear—the bear won't hunt you if it has something else to eat."That's just the way it is when it comes to switching sides. They have all the more reason to want you dead since you might be aware of certain individuals' dirty laundry, even if you weren't actively getting involved in it."Tanya was left speechless, as that definitely was the case—she knew certain things, even witnessed it, but she wasn't an active part of it.And with a new sheriff in town, silencing her was just a matter of self-preservation.Naturally, she couldn't just tell Charlie those things outright, especially since they weren't alone.Fortunately for her, Charlie wasn't interested in what she did, saw, or knew.Instead, he quietly said, "Judging from the current s

    Yoshitaka breathed a sigh of relief, hearing that Tanya was finally agreeing to stick with the concert.He was already worried that the diva would just up and leave, and he was well aware of the temper of divas like her.Push her too far, and she would walk out on her bosses—she was plenty rich and influential anyway, and she could goof off for a while even if she failed to beat the company's lawsuit.On top of that, if she told her fans that she had left the company because they were forcing her to do something against her will, her legions of fans would bring the company to its knees.That was why Yoshitaka wouldn't dare to compel Tanya to do something against her will, and it really surprised him that Charlie just had to play hardball to make her cave.That was when Charlie said, "Since Ms. Sweet will be continuing with the concert, let's not waste time here. Mr. Kennedy, please return to the party with Ms. Sweet, or the other guests will start asking questions. If anyone asks,

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7006

    First and foremost, Charlie hadn't saved Tanya to do Yoshitaka a favor, so he shouldn't think too highly of himself.Secondly, Charlie didn't care how big a deal he was in Japan. To Charlie, he was nothing.Yoshitaka certainly felt embarrassed as well, as he could see that Charlie thought nothing of him when he didn't even know who Charlie really was.Until now, if anyone ever did Yoshitaka a favor, he just had to tell them he would remember it, and they would be so overjoyed as if they had been granted a favor. That definitely wasn't the case with Charlie, as he was showing his disdain for Yoshitaka in every way.Moreover, he had indeed screwed up big time in front of Charlie and Kathleen when Peter and his gang duped him.Smiling in embarrassment, he nodded, "Yes, you're right, Mr. Wade. I will do my best to correct that and refresh my memory…"Charlie simply ignored him and turned to Tanya, "Putting aside the fact that my wife and I flew hundreds of miles to watch your con
