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!”

    Matt was actually feeling nervous as he had no idea if Charlie was being serious or just screwing with him.After all, he had paid a billion US dollars for Tanya's head, and as Tanya's supporter, Charlie wanted them to bury the hatchet.It was fine if Charlie was serious about it, but if he had something else in mind, Matt was pretty sure he might not survive…Nonetheless, Julien chuckled as he could see Matt's worried reaction. "Come now—don't try to project yourself onto others, especially when it comes to a magnanimous man like Mr. Wade. If he really wanted to be rid of you, I would have killed you Stateside myself.""Yes, that's true," Matt nodded repeatedly. "Actually, I'm not suspecting Mr. Wade that much. It's just that it'd be awkward meeting Tanya again…""It's no issue," Charlie replied calmly. "Whatever the argument was about before, we're all now on the same side, and it's time to look forward toward the future." "Yes," Matt nodded, immediately respectful. "It's as y

    Soon, Albert led both men to the Diamond Room, where Charlie was already waiting.As soon as he entered, Julien bowed his head reverently. "Greetings, Mr. Wade!"Charlie smiled. "So? You're going to stay for a long period this time around?""Indeed," Julien smiled in turn. "I won't lie—I'm planning to stay here for at least another decade."Then, gesturing at Matt, Julien said, "Matt Finkelstein, whom I've mentioned before."At that moment, Matt was studying Charlie in curiosity, as he really wasn't sure why the great Julien Rothschild was so respectful toward an Oskian.And one so young!It really confused him—was there a youth who could stand above Julien on the pecking order? Something like that seemed so impossible!But that was just it... Julien's reverence toward Charlie Wade wasn't just written all over the man's face—it could well have been ingrained into his very bones!Charlie looked up at Matt's shocked face just then, smiling vaguely, "So, you're the one who posted

    In just thirty minutes, Julien had arrived at Heaven Springs, flanked by his bodyguards.He had had to leave during his visits before, but this time, he would stay in Aurous Hill for good, so his crew was already here days earlier waiting.Naturally, Matt was there with him, now in a better mood than before. Just days ago, he had been a wretched dog, fleeing with his tail between his legs, intent on leaving the States for good.Things were definitely better now that he had come under the protection of the heir of the Rothschilds.In fact, when everyone else found out, they knew that it was pointless to hunt down Matt when the Rothschilds had gotten their hands on all their dirty laundry.Killing him would do nothing to protect their secrets, and it would only serve to provoke the Rothschilds into swift vengeance.It was as if Matt had been given the presidential pardon, which was why he was utterly loyal toward Julien and would willingly serve as his lapdog.Along the way, Jul

    Pausing, Charlie then added, "And if the IPO succeeds, that's hundreds of millions, if not billions. Who would care about fifty million at that point? It's both of us who win if you do this, so don't give me crap and just get to work!"Albert mused to himself for a while, eventually nodding. "If you think so highly of me, it's only right that I do my very best!""Now, that's better!" Charlie laughed, satisfied. "Also, Tanya still has more concerts across Oskia. As an honorary citizen of Aurous Hill and my gratitude toward this place, I will insist she set Aurous Hill as her first stop whenever she comes to Oskia in the future."I'll also be inviting her over right away to Heaven Springs as an ambassador, and she'll be there in any city where you set up a branch. At that point, you don't have to worry about securing a steady stream of customers—just do your part and do it well.""Alright!" Albert promptly replied. "You've really taught me an important lesson there. I won't let you d

    Albert was surprised that Charlie was being so insistent.While he knew Charlie meant well, it still hurt his pride as a self-made man.Hence, he told Charlie, "Mr. Wade, you've already helped me way too much ever since we met, including saving my life. It's only thanks to you that Heaven Springs suddenly gained such prominence, and I think with that foundation, we'd rise further beyond if we just stick to our guns. I'm already endlessly grateful for all of that, so I really can't take your money on top of that..."Charlie rolled his eyes. "Don't get so cagey with me, Albert. If I've given something to you, then it's something I'm convinced you deserve. If you don't deserve it, I wouldn't give it to you even if you asked."Albert pursed his lip awkwardly. "I get what you're saying, Sir—it's like a good boss always giving employees increments. But it's way too much with what little I do, and my conscience can't allow it…"Then, remembering what Isaac had said, he clenched his knuck

    Still, Claire didn't dwell on it as she knew nothing about Feng Shui.Since her husband had gained widespread approval, he must have something going for him, so a laywoman like her shouldn't speculate.-Early next morning, Charlie headed to Heaven Springs after Claire had gone to work.Heaven Springs wasn't open to the public in the mornings, but plenty of netizens were outside the entrance taking photos.Charlie wasn't in a hurry to go inside anyway and was just swiping through his phone when he noticed that Heaven Springs was still trending on news channels and social networks across the nation.This was mainly thanks to Tanya posting a pile of social media posts showering endless praise on the food.Now, countless fans would die to be there to have a taste or even just post pictures of the place if they couldn't afford it. Seeing people literally queuing up just to check in or take photos, Charlie went to the back door to find Albert already waiting there, and the latter u
