Chapter 11

Penulis: 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 6974

    Having seen the online backlash against her, Tanya realized that she had to salvage her reputation as soon as possible, while separating herself from that senatorThere was no saving that senator now anyway, and Tanya definitely wasn't about to get dragged down with her!She had to bail herself out, and soon!That was why she had to properly declare her all-out support for LGBT groups and other minorities before, during, and after the election.That way, she would have sent the strong message that she had supported the failed candidate not because of her being a woman or because she would be exposed, but because she was a true believer of the cause.As such, she had to seize the day, using this party to declare her position, and again, in front of millions of fans during the concert tonight.With a single stroke, she would have recovered the goodwill of the public.Meanwhile, Charlie and the others had just reached Tanya's table, accompanied by Yoshitaka.His wife and daughter

    Each table only had six seats, and the main table seats were arranged by Yoshitaka himself.Naturally, three went to him and his family, two to Tanya and her boyfriend, and one to Kelly, who was representing Kathleen.-Meanwhile, after getting off the stage, Tanya had been swiping through trending sections of social media as well as her fan's comments.She had always been confident about the senator's victory and therefore carried herself as such.But with her defeat coming so soon, she needed to keep both eyes on public sentiment.She soon noticed that social media wasn't all that kind to her, with most mocking her crude judgment and overconfidence.They called her out for riding trends she couldn't even begin to understand, and for using her influence over her fans just because she thought she had many—only for them to back out on her when it mattered.People were even uploading clips of her vocally supporting the senator, matched with meme reactions to diss her as hard as t

    Naturally, Yoshitaka was inviting Charlie and Claire to the main table mainly because he didn't want Kathleen to think he was mistreating her friends when she arrived later. After all, Charlie and Claire were important enough that Kathleen had immediately changed her mind about not coming to this party. As such, when she arrived and saw them being sat at some fringe corner, she might have some choice words for Yoshitaka.For Charlie's part, he definitely understood Yoshitaka's reasoning.He really wasn't interested in Tanya, but his wife was a fan of her songs, so to meet her idol and even talk to her personally was always a rare opportunity.Yoshitaka was certainly relieved that Charlie had said yes, and he quickly smiled, "Alright. Please follow me, Mr. and Mrs. Wade!""Wait a second," Charlie suddenly said as he pointed at Loreen and Sachiko. "There's actually four of us."Yoshitaka quickly nodded. "Why, yes, you're right! Apologies for my negligence. Do come with me!"Still

    That was when Yoshitaka's assistant came over and whispered to him, "Sir, we've got it—Ms. Fox's close friends came under Sasaki Sachiko's invitation.""The Sasakis?" Yoshitaka was surprised, as he had a clear idea of the extent of the Sasakis' influence. So, how on earth did small fry who banked on Mitsui Group to survive become acquainted with Kathleen's friends?The assistant could see Yoshitaka's confusion, but reminded him nonetheless. "Kelly Wearstler is with them as we speak."Yoshitaka quickly looked around and found Kelly speaking with several others, and he promptly told his assistant, "Let's go. You're coming with me."With that, he started heading toward Charlie's group.-Meanwhile, Claire was as surprised as she was delighted that Kathleen was coming, and she asked Kelly, "I thought Ms. Fox said she wasn't coming?"Kelly glanced at Charlie, and seeing no reaction, smiled apologetically, "Sorry, I was so excited to see you both again that I told Ms. Fox about it b

    Yoshitaka certainly remembered how Kathleen had firmly rejected his numerous invites to this party, ultimately sending Kelly as her representative.But while he had finally decided to give up, he was shocked to learn that Kathleen was coming after the party started.It was as surprising as it was delightful, and he promptly announced it without stopping to help Tanya hype up the crowd.Naturally, the crowd was also clearly more enthusiastic about Kathleen coming, which left Tanya looking all the more unpopular.Just remembering how her own rousing speech had been completely disregarded, Tanya felt as disappointed as she was furious.Watching as the guests happily chatted amongst each other, she was left wondering why she was so coldly received and why they weren't interested in one of the most controversial issues of the present.Even Yoshitaka turned away just then, asking his assistant, "Do you know why Ms. Fox suddenly changed her mind?"The assistant quickly replied, "Her as

    Tanya frowned ever so slightly when asked to give a speech, but she soon composed herself as she knew this was just a prearranged part of the party.With the host Yoshitaka finishing his speech, she should be going on stage to give a short speech, praising the organizers and the country and the like.It was clearly nothing out of the ordinary, but Tanya had plenty weighing on her mind.After hesitating for a while after Yoshitaka called for her, she leaned in and blew a kiss with Trevor before heading on stage.When she took the mic from Yoshitaka, however, she had yet to come up with what to say, and she paused in silence.Although many below the stage were ready to take out their phones to record videos, Yoshitaka reminded them, "Everyone, please remember that this is a private party, and Ms. Sweet is an international figure. Please don't record anything, and certainly do not post it online—it could cause her unnecessary trouble."Just as everyone was about to put away their ph
