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!”

    A smile appeared on Trevor's face as he asked, "Do you think we should invite Mr. Wade to be our witness if we ever go to the chapel?"Tanya giggled as her tears flowed.Wiping her tears, she said, "I-I'm not sure… But shouldn't you propose first?"Trevor remembered with a start, thrilled as he asked, "Was that a yes?""Not until I see my ten-carat diamond ring," Tanya smiled, shaking her head."Don't worry, babe," Trevor quickly promised. "It's going to be more than ten. I'll be flying over once I'm done with training to propose."Tanya held his gaze, smiling as she nodded. "No guarantees that I'll say yes, though."Trevor nodded, thrilled nonetheless as Tanya was basically accepting his proposal anyway—at this point, he just had to propose in a way that satisfied her.It was the light at the end of the tunnel, after days of apprehension.After all, it was only natural that he would be jealous, if not in denial, if the person he loved worshipped someone else, and he had no id

    Caught off guard, Tanya asked blankly, "W-What are you saying? I'm not following."Trevor smiled wryly, "I mean, I'm going home for training, while you'll be starting your twenty concert hops in Oskia. When you're done, and you come back to the States, will we still be in a relationship?""Of course we will," Tanya quickly replied. "Or what, did we schedule a break-up in the middle?""I'm not sure—I just feel less confident than before," Trevor sighed, before adding hesitantly, "I know that our worlds basically changed after Tokyo, and never could I have expected someone like Charlie Wade to exist before that. That's why I'm concerned about your world view now, and how you'd go on from here as a star."Tanya smiled, but while she was going to assure Trevor that nothing had changed, she then realized that it would be less than sincere if she kept lying after he had taken the initiative to talk about it.Sighing, she said, "He did shock me, and just like you, I never could have expe

    It was the first time Tanya wasn't sleeping or talking at all, and it left Trevor bemused.What could have led to such a change? Their quarrel just before, or the incident in Tokyo Dome?The incident was resolved in every way thanks to Charlie Wade, and the bounty on Tanya's head had been removed completely.So, why did Tanya still seem affected?That was when a scary thought struck Trevor—could Tanya have fallen for Charlie Wade?But it couldn't be! Charlie was married… or perhaps it was precisely because he was married that her affection would therefore go unrequited, which thus left her depressed?If anything, that truly seemed likely!Still, it hurt him to remember how distant she had been over the last few days.He loved her so much that he could deal with her girly tantrums, childish opinions, and messy personal life.However, he couldn't deal with her having another man in her heart, and a man who was light-years ahead of him in every way…"Hey, babe?" He called out at

    Despite having come to an agreement with Tanya, Charlie didn't inform Albert or Claire right away.In Claire's case, he wanted to surprise her after Tanya touched down in Aurous Hill.As for Albert, he called and asked, "Is Heaven Springs booked for this afternoon?"Albert replied, "Actually, there are some friends who made reservations, but as always, I make sure the Diamond Room is kept vacant for you whenever.""Good," Charlie replied. "Prepare the best feast you can in Heaven Springs tomorrow—a friend of mine is visiting, so ideally, you should be there too." "Not a problem," Albert replied.While he was aware that Tanya was performing in Oskia, he was never a fanboy and certainly didn't have the details of her tours, nor was he aware that she and Charlie were now friends.As such, Albert didn't think too much about it.That very night, Charlie told Claire, "If you don't have anything to do tomorrow evening, why don't we have dinner together?""Well, there's nothing on my

    Claire asked, "Backstage? Can we really get in?""Of course," Charlie replied confidently. "Mr. Mitsui thinks quite highly of me after that Feng Shui consultation, and while Tanya is skeptical, I get the feeling she would like my services, too. And I have Mr. Mitsui's number, so I could just ask him to ask her to get us someplace where we can watch the concert backstage."Claire sighed, shaking her head. "No, forget it. That's too much trouble, and we've already watched one Tanya concert. We don't have to attend every last one of them.Charlie chuckled. "It's no trouble—we are the hosts, and they'd be staying here a few days. We might even be of assistance."Besides, you know Heaven Springs, don't you? It's the best restaurant in Aurous Hill, and Tanya would definitely want to try local specialties during her stay in Aurous Hill. I could even arrange the Diamond Room for her as well as reservations in Shangri-la for her huge concert entourage… It's not too much to ask for a backsta

    Curtis Autos' press conference gained widespread approval from fans and everyone else.As the transparent lottery system also indicated the integrity of Curtis Autos as an organization, they steadily gained public approval, with brand awareness skyrocketing.Soon, everyone started preparing for the concerts.Naturally, the first agenda was the venue, with the largest stadium in Aurous Hill being chosen for the four concerts to be held in the city. Having been expanded just last year, it could now accommodate forty thousand people.Then, once the venue was confirmed and Tanya's Tokyo tour was finished, her team started packing before arriving at the stadium to unpack once more and assemble their setup.Tanya would have flown to Aurous Hill right away as well, but as Trevor's sponsors had a collaboration in Japan, she only arrived a day later.Still, a day before she arrived, Curtis Autos' ticketing software had opened registration for her first concert.With Aurous Hill public no
