Chapter 11

Autor: 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 7253

    To no surprise, Penny had just taken a seat when a flight crew came in, informing the volunteers, "Everyone, please keep social interaction to a minimum as we have special agents with high clearance on the plane. Keep your mobile devices off and out of reach. Thank you for your cooperation."The volunteers include teachers and doctors who were screened thoroughly before they left the country, and therefore had clean backgrounds. Hearing that it was military business, they cooperated and promptly put away their phones.Penny and the black-clad youths were then seated sporadically, with only one of them occupying a seat in an entire row, while none of them talked to each other at all.In fact, the black-clad youths were sent by Emmett to cover Penny, as it was his style to be prudent and leave no loose ends. And in faraway Luketown, Charlie turned down Tanya's invitation to her afterparty once her concert ended, and drove out of the stadium straight to Choky Airbase.When he arrive

    Just as Penny was left moping in her new surroundings, Porter approached her and told her politely, "Ms. Singer? Mr. Wade just called. He's asking you to prepare for a flight to Oskia by tomorrow, in a humanitarian aid transport.""I'm going to Oskia?!" Penny was delighted to hear that—she didn't know Charlie that well and had no idea if she was valuable to him. She had been worried for a while that Charlie wouldn't pay her further attention after returning to Oskia, as she had barely a couple of years more to live, and it was almost impossible to save her.Moreover, she offered no value in return—even if she was sent to help fight the Qing Eliminating Society, she just couldn't inflict any actual damage.Just as she thought that she'd be stuck in Syria, waiting for Fleur's poison to kick in and die, Charlie sent for her!Fighting back her thrill, she asked, "Is that true, Mr. Waldron? I'm sure that the Qing Eliminating Society will be searching for me, considering my strategic v

    Charlie replied, "In two days? That's the date of Tanya's first concert in Luketown, and it's another four days before I can bring her to Aurous Hill if I pick her up. Isn't there a chance of her getting caught in Luketown?""There shouldn't be," Vera replied. "She is supposed to be military with clearance. Local officials won't have authority to look into her, and any credentials we're giving her are genuine."Pausing, she then asked, "Are you driving to Luketown?""Yes," Charlie replied. "In fact, I'm on my way there.""Great!" Vera giggled. "You can pick her up from the airport and arrange for her to stay in the hotel you're staying in, and tell her to stay in the room and focus on cultivation. Then, after the concerts, you can bring her back to Aurous Hill. No one will know where you are since you're not using public transport."Charlie had to agree with Vera, not to mention that no one compared to Vera once it came to staying hidden.After all, she had managed to hide from F

    Once Charlie booked the flight and the lodgings, he informed his in-laws.They never went on a trip together, so they were filled with expectations, if a little brief.And when Elaine heard that they would be staying at the Cheval Blanc Randheli, she promptly bragged about it on social media, along with the brochures and costs from their website.She always loved to brag, and naturally would seize such a perfect chance to build hype.Still, Charlie wasn't going to remain in Aurous Hill for long, as Tanya's next stop was in three days.After resting for a couple of days, he had to depart again.Luketown was less than 200 miles away from Aurous Hill, which was quite close.Since there were no direct flights between the cities, he decided to drive.Jacob's first car—the BMW 530—had stayed unused for a while, so Charlie packed a few sets of clothes before leaving.As Claire saw her off, she reminded him repeatedly to drive safe, and he nodded repeatedly as he drove out of Thompson

    Pausing, Claire then added, "There are two flights, and we could head over at the end of the month, and then fly back after New Year's."Charlie chuckled. "Is your mom asking, or did she tell you to persuade me?""The latter," Claire laughed too. "Guess you know her best. She really wanted us to all go together."Considering his plans, Charlie decided that he had no special reason to stay in the country anyway.Since Claire put it that way, she must be interested—she would have refused Elaine otherwise.Nodding cheerfully, he said, "Alright, let's go together!"Claire smiled. "In that case, I'll make some time over the next few days to decide which island suits our price range.""Oh, forget it," Charlie waved her off. "I'm raking in the millions, why worry about cost? Pick the most expensive one, and we will head over!"Then, before Claire could protest, he insisted, "Just leave it to me. Don't worry!"Claire was well aware that Charlie had been making a lot of money as a Feng

    Past midnight, Charlie's flight landed at Aurous Hill's airport.Nervous, he got in a cab right after he left the airport, heading straight to Thompson First.Along the way, he was still wondering what he should say if Claire asked.But after much thinking, he still decided that denial was the best option here, or he wouldn't explain why he had to get kissy with Tanya for four concerts.Claire's mind was a mess too, as she was now mostly positive that the masked dancer was her own husband.But she couldn't decide whether to squeeze the truth out of him, since there was no direct evidence that the masked dancer was Charlie. The only proof she had was at best circumstantial, as she couldn't reach Charlie on his phone while the masked dancer was on stage.And that didn't prove anything.While Claire's thoughts remained a mess, Charlie arrived home.Elaine and Jacob had gone to bed for a while, and Claire hurried to the window upstairs when she heard the front gate opening, her h

    The family of four dined and wined to their heart’s content. Jacob was already a little drunk, and he had already started to speak with a lisp. It was obvious at first glance that he had drunk too much.Both Elaine and Claire could not hold their liquor very well, but after Elaine had heard that a bo

After all, this will be Miss Golding’s first performance for her concert tour this year. I only wa
