Chapter 11

작가: 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!”

    Loreen nodded quietly. "I see."That was when the five people arrived at the center, with Yoshitaka in the lead.There was a small stage there, clearly a platform to give a speech, and Yoshitaka went up, with someone quickly bringing him a mic.Smiling, he said, "Thank you everyone for coming. It's our honor to be in the presence of Tanya Sweet, a global phenomenon. Even someone like me who doesn't keep up with pop culture is amazed by her talent, and my daughter is especially worshipful of her. Let's welcome her to Tokyo with a round of applause!"The hall echoed with thunderous clapping at Yoshitaka words.Still, as everyone turned toward Tanya and Trevor, Tanya seemed to have trouble smiling. "Thank you, everyone! Thank you, Tokyo!""That's strange," Loreen murmured from beside Claire as she watched. "Why does it look like she's upset?"Claire nodded as well. "Yeah. It looks like she's being forced to smile… Does it have something to do with the Mitsuis?""No way!" Sachiko q

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 6966

    Everyone was immediately alert upon hearing that the Mitsuis and Tanya were coming.While they were shocked that Kathleen's close friends were present, they were still, at best, an intermediary, and they would rather Kathleen herself were here. In contrast, the people who were arriving basically owned Japan.Mitsui Yoshitaka, the head of Mitsui Group, always kept a low profile just like his predecessors.He rarely attended parties such as these and was only here because he had a soft spot for his daughter, who was an avid Tanya fan.As her father, he naturally had to do his best to support her.With several black-clad bodyguards quickly clearing a path, the elderly couple entered the hall, with their daughter following them.With them were a Caucasian couple—Tanya Sweet and her burly split-mustache boyfriend, Trevor Kennedy.Everyone was clapping and cheering as soon as they entered, with some even hollering their names as they entered.It went without saying that it was a norm

    Kelly nodded and said, "Allow me to introduce you to Mr. Charlie Wade, and this is his wife, Claire Wilson. They are both close friends of mine and Ms. Fox.Then, turning to Charlie and Claire, she said, "This is Mitsui Nagayasu, vice-chairman of the Mitsui Group board. Mitsui Group is the official organizer of this concert."Nagayasu could tell from Kelly's mannerisms that Charlie and Claire were not only close friends with Kathleen, but they also held considerable influence with her. He had tried his best to invite Kathleen to the party and the concert, but she had never caved.However, although Kelly was attending both events as Kathleen's representative, Nagayasu had clearly heard her saying that if Kathleen had known Claire and Charlie were coming, she would definitely change her mind. That clearly demonstrated Kathleen had a special connection with the couple.Hence, without waiting for Charlie and Claire to speak, he bowed his head at them respectfully, "Pleased to meet

    While the main event, which was Tanya, had yet to arrive, all present were elite businessmen. They weren't there to fawn, but to make money.So, even as they hovered around Kelly to chat her up, what they truly wanted was a partnership with Kathleen.But unfortunately for them, Kathleen had never been interested in showbiz and never accepted Mitsui Group's many invitations.Still, the elite were surprised that two of Kathleen's other friends were present despite Kathleen herself being absent.And judging from how respectful Kelly was to the pair, they were definitely close friends of Kathleen's, or at least closer than Kelly was to Kathleen.On the other hand, Miki's mind was broken as she gaped at Charlie, as she simply couldn't understand how he could be Kathleen's friend.They were talking about Kathleen Fox, the head of a trillion-dollar dynasty. Mitsui Group's wealth was child's play in comparison.Miki's face paled as she remembered how she had dissed Charlie and Claire, a

    Kathleen was interested in an investment in Japan because the diplomacy between the nations meant relaxed tariffs and other regulations. Moreover, American elites always thought highly of Japanese elites, and many were willing to retire in Japan as well.With her wealth and connections in the States, Kathleen knew that it would be a lucrative business after seeing how obsessed her grandfather was with his survival. The profit margins would be like nothing ever seen before if she exploited the market for retirement in Japan, if not outright deathbed care.From where she stood, if she ran the project flawlessly, that meant she would get to invest in a solid piece of property, making money off sales or rent, be it office buildings or luxury apartments. Her family had never counted on making a quick buck anyway, and they always stuck with snowball strategies.Once Japan had been built into a retirement spot for foreign bigwigs, that would mean an endless source of profits.Having come

    Not giving Claire the chance to refuse further, Charlie dragged her along toward the crowd and Kelly.Kelly was at the center of the crowd, with each person holding their champagne flutes and listening to her speak eloquently. Even Miki could only watch her admiringly from the very edge of the crowd.That was when she caught sight of Charlie and Claire approaching out of the corner of her eye, followed by Loreen and Miki's cousin, Sachiko. Her brow creased right then, and she stared at Charlie intently to watch how things would play out.When Charlie reached the edge of the crowd and was about to call out to Kelly, Miki was smirking as she strode up and warned very loudly, "You're not supposed to be here, Mr. Wade."She really didn't have to be that loud to persuade Charlie to leave, but she did so deliberately to draw everyone's attention and capitalize on the situation. Since her grandfather, the head of the family, was also present, she could use the opportunity to take Sachiko
