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 7142

    Hank and the cabal were completely deflated at that point.With Charlie having controlled their wealth, reputation, and their goddamn phallus, they would lose all three if they so much as slipped up.At this point, what good was stubborn resistance?Since their hedonistic pursuits were now denied, they could redirect their enthusiasm to more mundane pursuits. If they had excess energy, they could invest or manage their business, perhaps rising to the next level.It was far better than screwing with Julien, getting exposed, or being kept impotent.As they finally caved in, Hank asked, "Mr. Wade… will our troubles end if we transfer the money in two days?"Charlie spread his hands. "The agreement is for you to prepare the money, and then I'll have the right man to manage it. What you did at that island won't be exposed for now, and I won't press the issue of putting a bounty on Tanya as well… As for your virility, it will be restored after you pay up."Curious, Julien asked just t

    If they didn't agree to Charlie's demands and he refused to cure them, the dinner would once again end on a sour note, and they would lose their meaning of life.As such, they were all trading looks, unsure what their next step was.Julien chuckled cooly right then. "You people don't use your brains much, do you? If you take Mr. Wade's deal and refrain from keeping your strange pursuits, you'd still retain your potency and at least retain a taste of mundane pleasures. Refuse him, and you won't even have that… Are you really fine with that?"His words were a wake-up call for the cabal.When it came to keeping their potency or losing it, it went without saying that the former was way more ideal.While that would cost them a billion bucks, they had already earned enough for several lifetimes. And what was the point of wealth if they were denied carnal pleasure in turn?Trading knowing looks, Hank then spoke up, "Deal!"Charlie smirked. "Are you sure? Don't push yourself, okay?"

  • 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
