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!”

    While the cabal's chat group was being jovial, twenty minutes soon passed.Then, Greg arrived with a report and told Hank, "Sir, the blood test results just came, and every stat appears to be normal. Even your glucose and lipid levels are improving, and you appear to be in better health than last time.""Sounds about right," Hank replied, smiling. "I've been basically fasting for a few days now, since I have a lot on my mind."Greg smiled in turn. "It seems that the rumors really affected you in a bad way, but don't worry, you won't be bothered any longer."Hank nodded. "I sure hope so."-An hour later, the scan results for Hank's heart arrived, too, and Greg was once again announcing that everything was normal and healthy.Hank was even more delighted and shared the good news with his cabal in the group chat.As promised, none of them had gone to bed, and all of them were staying up to wait as Hank waited for the result of every statistic.Still, it wasn't until past midnigh

    Hank quickly stopped Andrew, "No, just calm down for the moment—we don't have much of a hand to play against Julien anyway, so just let sleeping dogs lie for now. If you make a sudden move, we might even get punished worse.""Well, what should we do?" Andrew asked.Hank thought about it and sighed. "We wait. Let's just calm down and wait for my medical report for now. If we were poisoned, let's uncover what poison was used and whether we can treat it Stateside. If we can, then everyone will be happy, and we won't be at their mercy."If they still decide to push us, we can just publicize each other's dirty secrets. They would tell everyone about the stuff that went on that island, while we exposed that he and Tanya are actually dating and tried to blackmail us!""Alright, I guess we'll wait, then," Anderson replied. "Just remember to tell us right away how your blood test goes."Hank said, "The nurse said all the test results will be out consecutively in twentyish minutes, so that

    Even Hank had to start thinking.How fucking stupid was he to believe Charlie's words? There was no way one could see a woman's chest behind a bra, so how could Charlie have looked inside his body and seen that he was sick?And to think he had been so worried throughout the journey there…Remembering how CT scans needed contrast agents for further precision, he was left fuming.After all, he had had a needle stuck into his wrist back when he had done a full body scan, and it had left a bruise that hurt a lot for a while.The contrasting agent would only be worse than that, so he said, "No, forget it. Just a standard CT is fine."The radiologist then said, "Well, if it's a CT scan, how about going full body, systemically imaging every part of your body? You'd have peace of mind, and with a contrast agent, you'd immediately find the smallest anomaly like it's under a fluorescent light.""No, I'll pass," Hank waved him off. "Just did it three months ago, and there was nothing back

    Greg, however, thought that Hank was overdoing it, rushing back Stateside and getting examined first thing.Still, he didn't argue as he was making money from both the hospital and Hank by simply doing his job, regulating resources, and providing the standard health service.He did everything by the book, liaising with the other doctors who worked at the hospital to examine Hank and then draw blood samples.As that meant multiple standard medical examinations and inspection for cancerous growth, the doctors extracted at least four syringes worth of blood.Hank then remembered a certain issue and told the nurse before she took out the syringe, "Oh, and draw more blood for examinations of toxins. I'd like to see if I was poisoned… whether it was toxins, heavy metals, or radioactive elements."The nurse was confused, but she still did as told, taking three syringes worth of blood samples to test for toxins, heavy metals, and radioactive elements.Every blood sample was rushed to the

    Matt quickly stood up and bowed his head at Charlie. "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. I'll keep a close eye on them."Charlie nodded and turned to Tanya, "Do get some rest, Ms. Sweet, so that you can be ready for the next two concerts."Tanya quickly asked, "Mr. Wade, will you and your wife join us for dinner?"Charlie waved her off, "Nah, just get some rest. We can catch up some other time."Despite her disappointment, Tanya nodded respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Wade."Charlie then turned to Julien, "Sorry about leaving such menial jobs to you, Julien."Julien promptly shook his head. "No, it's alright—it's my job. We should hang out more as I'll be here in Aurous Hill for a while.""Yeah, let's stay in touch," Charlie chuckled, and checked his watch. "Alright, I have to go now, everyone. Catch y'all next time."-That same night, Hank's private jet took off from Aurous Hill, heading straight for the States.En route, he called Greg Homes, his personal private doctor.While he could secure

    While absolutely reluctant, the cabal understood the simple idea that they just had to pay up when they met Charlie again.After all, it was just money to spare themselves the horror of impotence.Everyone was very agreeable with it, especially Hank, who forced himself to smile as he said, "Yes, you're right, Mr. Wade… Nothing comes for free, and you gotta pay for your meals…"Charlie smiled, satisfied with the man's response. "Wow, Hank! You've improved quickly!""You flatter me…" Hank chuckled awkwardly.Naturally, Charlie was well aware that Hank's gratitude came out of pressure and not sincerity.Still, he had tormented and extorted the cabal enough, and it was now time for the carrot after the stick."Hank," he said, "I can see that you're a smart man. Therefore, you can be your friends' representative. Now, I offer a piece of advice for free and as a reward for your good behavior."Hank quickly nodded. "Do tell, Mr. Wade."Charlie began, "When you boys return stateside,
