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!”

    Tanya nodded and asked, "Do you both have plans in two days? We'd be taking a break, and I'd like to visit Eastcliff, whether it's taking in the scenery or checking out historical sites."Quinn smiled. "You'd have to take dozens of bodyguards with you, since the fans will be crowding out any place you pick."Tanya asked, "I could put on a disguise?""Still no," Quinn replied, shaking her head. "You already stand out as a foreigner, and your fans most definitely could tell it's you even if you covered yourself from head to toe.""Well, what should we do?" Tanya sighed in disappointment. "I'd really like to sightsee…""Sure you can, you just have to strut," Quinn smiled again. "But that means no secrecy. I definitely can join you, but not Charlie."Charlie nodded. "You two can go walk around, take in the sights. Tanya can also show foreign fans what Oskia is really like, making things more lively."Tanya remained puzzled. "Why can't you join us? You're part of the crew."Charlie

    Tanya promptly pressed, "You did? What did you say?"Her manager sighed. "I could only say that you love the song and you were drawn in by the plot—that as a professional singer, you invest yourself too much into it.""But I don't like it that much," Tanya quietly said. "It's not as good as the ones I write myself."Her manager could only purse her lips awkwardly. Unlike Quinn who wasn't born into music, Tanya could write her own songs—virtually all her songs were all her own creative work.And creative singers like her usually wouldn't like the songs of other singers, not to mention that Tanya's creative prowess was world-class.Knowing her diva side, her manager whispered as she reasoned, "That's the best explanation right now, or you'd get canceled if it grows into a scandal. Don't forget that you have a boyfriend, and it looks to everyone you two have been going strong for a while."Tanya waved it off, replying in annoyance, "I get it, let's just leave it at that.

    Tanya was clearly in love with Charlie, and that conclusion was even surer now.Trevor could tell that much before leaving Oskia, and at the time, he thought that as long as Tanya kept those feelings bottled up and stayed loyal to him, he could live with it. After all, there is no such thing as being absolutely faithful.Never could he have expected that Tanya would lose her restraint so soon after he left Oskia.Even as he watched the video, he was growling, "Does she even think about how I feel, kissing Charlie in front of thousands? They don't know who he is, but I do! They don't know how she really feels, but I do!"His emotions flaring, his tears rolled down his cheeks before he knew it.He had even gone to a famous jeweler to get a ring made for their proposal, which he told Tanya he intended to do on her private jet.Now, he was conflicted by the present situation…-Meanwhile, Tanya was completely engrossed in her first Eastcliff concert.She felt light like never befor

    While Quinn was still relishing in the bliss of kissing and hugging Charlie, news of Tanya's ferocious kiss of her dancer had reached entertainment headlines across the globe, and the world was left in an uproar.They knew that she was liberal, but not that crazy—and she was still dating another man!In fact, many fans immediately wondered if she had gone too far after seeing the video.If they lost themselves in the act, then the kiss was understandable as the song was about a lover's parting.If that wasn't the case, it was way too liberal for any concert, even for the more open-minded fans.Tanya's manager didn't even wait to talk to her about damage control and promptly issued a media statement, liaising with the press that the song was to blame for Tanya's stunt—that she was so engrossed with the plot in the lyrics she got caught in it, and stayed in-character for the entirety.Knowing that there might be foreign fans who didn't understand the lyrics, Tanya's manager even ha

    Charlie had a wife and plenty of close female friends, but did he have anyone? With Claire, there was this strange wall between them, and he lost his own ability to take things to the next level after so much time had passed.He was also conservative and a gentleman like his father, and refused any extramarital affairs.Come to think of it, the situation was almost similar to Quinn's—saving himself for his beloved, but caught in a situation where his love couldn't be reciprocated.Quinn was going to keep pouting and complaining, but seeing the sullen look on Charlie's face, realized something very serious. Did Charlie never consummate with Claire?No, that had to be the case—why else were they childless even after they were married for so long?The way Charlie looked so hard-pressed only validated her hunch, and she forgot all her own grief at that moment, instead feeling for Charlie.She wanted to hold him, and whisper sincerely into his ear that she was willing to give hers

    At that moment, Charlie didn't understand if he couldn't regain his senses, or if he just didn't want to.Feeling Quinn's soft, sweet lips on his felt like a paralyzing spell, stopping him from moving at all.After a long while, he heard Quinn's breathing turning ragged and his own impulses getting dangerously out of control.He didn't want to admit it, but sexual desire was clearly flaring inside both of them, and the room seemed to heat up in turn.And Charlie was left in a dilemma.He always thought of Quinn as a baby sister and never thought of her as a lover, but said baby sister was grown up now. Not only had she done well for herself in life, but she was also still obsessed with him.And now, she was kissing him fiercely.He felt mentally repulsed, but his body seemed to fall into a pit he couldn't leap out of.While at a loss, he was also disappointed in himself—at that moment, he finally realized that he wasn't as determined as he thought.It felt like being convinced

    The most painful thing would just be the arduous bicycle ride from Eastcliff to Aurous Hill.However, it was still acceptable. Cycling for half a month was better compared to lying in bed for half a month after his surgery.Besides that, he had really suffered a lot of grievances during the last opera

    Charlie smiled slightly before he said, “This medicine is called the Rejuvenating Pill.”Nanako suddenly recalled something, and she suddenly said, “I understand now! I understand!

    At that moment, Tanaka’s attention was completely placed on the fashionable and somewhat flirtatious woman who was beside him.That was why he did not notice Charlie who was in the store.Since the two spoke the Oskian dialect, Charlie speculated that the female companion had to be from Oskia.After th

    “Ahh? So soon? You’re not going to stay in Eastcliff for a few more days?”“I have already settled all of my business, and there is nothing left for me to do here. I will be leaving tomorrow.”When Loreen heard this, she said without any hesitation at all, “In that case, I will also leave Eastcliff to
