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!”

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7823

    In the end, Rachel was still a young woman in her twenties—her training could at best prepare her against the fear of death.However, Charlie wasn't threatening her with her death, but also the deaths of her entire maternal line.And this wasn't without a president, as all Scholars were notified of the death of the Scholars who were embedded amongst the Ackers. As soon as their cover was blown, everyone in their lineage was wiped out by the Qing Eliminating Society—even their children.That same fate was what awaited if Rachel's cover was blown too!Her tears flowing and her body shaking, she stared at Charlie in fear as she stammered, "W-What must I do? So that my family might live?"Even now, she was undoubtedly smart and doing the right thing—her mind was still clear despite the terror shaking her to the core.She still had no idea who Charlie was, but she must be of value since he was revealing himself. After all, he could just blow her cover with a post on social media—mos

    As soon as Julien and Rob left the private room, Rachel—speaking fluent Oskian—promptly asked Vera very enthusiastically, "Which discipline at Stanford interests you, Anna? We can exchange numbers, so you can call me up anytime!"With extensive training, Rachel was basically a master socialite. Even if she had no idea who Charlie and Vera were, she could see that getting on their good graces would benefit her greatly.Naturally, she picked Vera, as Charlie had said that Vera was the one who would enroll at Stanford, while he claimed to be her brother. Rachel didn't doubt that, and she could foresee that if she befriended Vera when she arrived, her chances of marrying into the Rothschild family would further improve.And seeing that Rachel was already working on her, Vera smiled and turned to Charlie. "It's still up to my brother whether I enroll."Charlie had said he would be direct with Rachel, so Vera simply let him take the reins on this one.Rachel was not aware of that, but q

    If at first, Julien seemed to only respect Charlie, right now he was positively worshipping and fawning over the man.Charlie then smiled faintly as he introduced Vera. "This is my baby sister, Anna. I'm planning to help her get enrolled in Stanford, so do keep an eye on her for me, will ya?"Rachel promptly nodded. "Of course, Mr. Cooper. We will be there to help her if there are any problems!"Rob came to his senses and held out his hand to Vera, nodding respectfully, "Please to meet you, Ms. Cooper!"That was when Charlie shoved Rob's hand aside. "With sincerity, formality is unnecessary."Vera hid a smile behind her dainty palm.And while Rob looked a little embarrassed, he decided not to take offense when Julien respected Charlie this much.Julien then said, "So, why don't we take our seats and talk over food?""Sure," Charlie smiled and nodded, turning to Rob and Rachel. "Please, take your seats."Rob and Rachel were left trading glances seeing how Charlie was acting lik

    Julien was basically Santa Claus aged, so hearing him say 'Andy's a close friend despite our age' left both Rob and Rachel speechless.The man was clearly only in his twenties, but that casual remark from Julien sure emphasized how important the man was!Rob especially knew how big a deal Julien was in the Rothschild family, after he was appointed as Harrison's legal heir.Still, what could be that impressive about this youth named Andy Cooper?He was clearly Oskian, but even the richest Oskian at the moment had yet to hit the USD 100 million net worth mark. On the other hand, the Rothschilds' aggregate estate was at least three zeros more than that—the gap was absolutely insurmountable.Charlie was himself politely offering Rob a handshake, smiling as he said, "Pleased to meet you. Julien spoke a lot about you, that you're quite famous here at Stanford?"It was a casual question, but Rob's heart skipped a beat.The man just called Julien Rothschild, the heir apparent of the Rot

    They were just wondering who was so important that Julien would introduce them when Charlie and Vera entered, hand-in-hand.Rob was left gaping at Charlie while Rachel's lips parted in surprise, despite her usual slickness in hiding her emotions.It was not as if they knew who Charlie and Vera were either—they didn't expect Julien to introduce them to two Oskians.Oskians had barely established themselves in the hierarchy on the US side of things, while Julien stood at the very pinnacle of that hierarchy. Not even the country's top politicians matched him in influence, and certainly not Asia's richest man.That was why Rob and Rachel were all the more confused—who was this Oskian standing before them, really? That was when Julien, nodding politely at Charlie, said, "Andy, meet Rob Rothschild, my grandnephew… And his girlfriend."Julien then smiled at Rachel, asking, "May I have the pleasure of your name, young lady?""Y-Yes," Rachel replied nervously. "I'm Rachel Getty."Julie

    The endgame for Wallis and her mother had always been bloodline integration, with their own children all groomed to be the next generation of Scholars. Rachel was a product of the doctrine, groomed as a Scholar by her mother since she was a child, with a poison planted inside her body for insurance. Being raised in the west, she almost instinctively resisted the doctrine, but Wallis told her that it was simply futile—that she'd just die for it. After all, if their cover got blown, the Qing Eliminating Society would come for every single one of them, pruning their entire bloodline. And the same fate awaited the Getty family too, just to be sure that nothing slipped out at all.Rachel could see her mother wasn't joking, and she hated being a Scholar and hated the Qing Eliminating Society too. But this was her purpose—the reason she was born, or her parents would never have met if not for the Scholar doctrine.It was no different from a child getting leukemia, and the parents gi

    Isaac's words left Albert freezing up, blurting, "Wait, Mr. Cameron… Are you saying that Master Wade already handled everything for me?""Please use your brain for once," Isaac laughed. "I was the Wades' spokesman in the state and represented their family, and you're basically my successor after I

    With those words, Loreen turned to Charlie and asked, "So, are you going to be free over the next couple of days? We can fly over, take a break on the day we land, attend the concert on the second day, and then go sightseeing on the third day. We can come back once we’ve had our fun."Charlie shrug

    Penny really couldn't argue against that, and she immediately became furious and tense, seeing how Charlie completely dismissed her as a threat.Her tone was suddenly a lot less confident than earlier, and she was barely able to hide her nerves as she asked, "Then, what do you want from me?"Charl

    Merlin asked, " Can we really get in? Port security is usually very strict.""Don't worry, I have a plan," Charlie grinned. "Still, let's get to our room first. We should have a bird's eye view of the port since it's on the top floor."With that, they checked in, received their room cards, and he
