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 7195

    Of course, there was the option of cosmetic surgery, but such things would never last long, and the side effects were permanent. It was why people always pointed out permanent disfigurement as a reason not to do it.On the other hand, Charlie's Rejuvenation Pill could make her younger by at least twenty years, making it the best cosmetic surgery bar none.Still, Rachel played it cool at the thought that the pills were worth trillions. It was so expensive that just yearning for it could well be considered overstepping.Yule shook his head as he said, "I'm already exceedingly grateful that you came to save my life before, Charlie… How could we take something so precious on top of that? Just save them for yourself, and I'm sure you can use them in the future!"Charlie shook his head, his tone solemn. "The Rejuvenation Pill is only expensive because of scarcity. After all, there was just one available at that auction, so it was only natural that the price inflated so ridiculously."No

    Lunch at the Goldings' was scrumptious, with many rare food ingredients that Yule was usually reluctant to eat himself, and Charlie had never encountered them before.Rachel was smiling at Charlie, having taken a great liking to her future son-in-law, no matter how much she looked at him.She would urge him to eat, encouraging Quinn to put more food on Charlie's plate.While Charlie was worried that Yule and Rachel would mention Quinn's engagement or having children, he was surprised neither of them said a word.While he felt relaxed thanks to that, he soon felt disappointed in himself.It was precisely because they weren't pressuring him that he could feel how understanding and accommodating they were to him.And being a man who always repaid his debts, directly pressuring him would have been a mercy.Hence, while they were idly chatting around the table after lunch, Charlie took out two Rejuvenation Pills and gave one to Yule and Rachel each."This is a little gesture of my s

    Pausing, Ashley sighed. "I was the one who pushed to engage Charlie with Quinn. I truly love that girl, and she's been like a daughter to me ever since she was born. Yule and Rachel used to love Charlie, too, which was why I suggested the engagement when they grew up."I've been told that such old-fashioned engagements shouldn't continue in the new age, or it'd look like we're back in feudal times… but I just think that there are some things that are just so perfect that a parent must fight for it despite their child's opinions."That was when Ashley sighed. "The Qing Eliminating Society reached out to Curtis and me on multiple occasions. I was not even worried that they would come for us… only that they would send Scholars to infiltrate Charlie's inner circle."Mrs. Sun's expression stiffened at the mention of Scholars, as she knew how astounding the Scholars could be. The Qing Eliminating Society had groomed each Scholar since they were children, all for the express purpose of '

    Quinn's memory of Ashley was pretty hazy, as she had been just a child when Ashley had left Eastcliff with Charlie."I don't remember her face, Mom," she couldn't help groaning. "Did she like me back then?"Rachel smiled. "Oh, you have no idea… She was there when you were delivered, and she was also the second person who carried you.""Really?" Quinn exclaimed, clearly surprised. "Then, who was the one who proposed my engagement with Charlie? I don't think I was told.""It was Ashley," Rachel sighed. "At that time, the Wades were the strongest family in Oskia, while Curtis and Ashley had taken good care of both your father and me. To be honest, we always thought that they were far beyond us, and it was our honor that they considered us friends. Considering that, would we even dare ask for such an engagement?"Surprised, Quinn blurted, "Well, why would Ashley want me as Charlie's wife?"Rachel smiled. "Because she liked you, of course. She believed you were her best choice as a da

    Rachel sighed, but she knew her daughter best and that Quinn wasn't kidding.If Charlie were to fall to his mortal enemies, the only reason Quinn would want to continue living would be for her and her husband.If they were gone, too, Quinn would break.Hence, she asked Quinn, "Well, what did Charlie say?""He tried to talk me out of it, but I just ignored him," Quinn replied, shrugging. "I told him very clearly that I wouldn't bother living if he and you guys were gone… Unless he had a kid with me.""Well done!" Rachel exclaimed, giving her a huge thumbs-up. "That's the way to do it—only being direct works on him. We were too considerate, so he was free to dilly-dally! If we let him, he'd just keep dragging things out without ever making a choice!"Pausing, she then pressed, "So? What did he say?'Quinn lied, "He said he would consider it… That's why I think he won't keep dragging things out after I made myself so clear. He'll definitely give us an answer."Hugging Rachel's arm

    When they both returned to the Goldings' residence, Rachel was cooking with the servants, while Yule was feeding the fish in his pond.He had definitely worked hard on this hobby. In fact, despite sub-zero temperatures, the water was consistently kept at 25 degrees Celsius with the full set of cyclical heating equipment he installed.Seeing Charlie return with his daughter, he smiled at them, "Quinn, your mom told you to help out in the kitchen once you're back. Charlie can keep me company for a while."Quinn was perplexed. Her mother had never once asked her to help with housework, but she was now being summoned to the kitchen?Still, she was sharp enough to consider that her mother wanted to talk to her, and hence smiled and nodded. "Alright. You boys take your time, I'm going now."Charlie nodded, not thinking too much about it. "You go do that. Just give me a shout if you need help."Quinn smiled. "Nope! Boys aren't allowed in the kitchen. Family rules."And with that, she t

    At that very moment, Charlie had two solutions.The first solution was to look for Stephen Thompson to send the masters from the Wade family in Eastcliff to Mount Golmin for interception. There were many skilful masters in the Wade family and therefore, it would not be a challenge at all to subdue Th

    Charlie replied awkwardly, “Nana, I have a very stable relationship with your sister-in-law. You cannot become a third party and get involved in our relationship just like that!”“I am a third party who is intervening in your relationship?!” Quinn replied angrily, “Charlie Wade! My parents had alread

    As the voices were drowned out by the silence, Draco immediately spoke up, “Uncle Morningstar, I am very sorry but I can’t marry your daughter. I already have the love of my life, and I am only going to marry her.”“What game are you playing at?” Zell Morningstar bellowed with arched brows as he glar

    Nonetheless, though Charlie was young, he wasn’t a fool.Emiliano thought that he had managed to convince him, but on the contrary, Charlie had been cautious and vigilant against the eight men in front of him from the beginning.As far as Charlie was concerned, he never wanted to subdue these eight me
