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 6983

    While Trevor wasn't sure what to do as he could see that Tanya was angry, he thought he could calm the tenseness between them by just saying what she'd like to hear.Still, for some reason, what Charlie had said reminded him of his own childhood and adolescence.At that time, tattoos and smoking were already the least of the vices that people pursued to look cool and trendy. Some of his friends had even joined gangs or become addicts despite their young age. The worst ones would be caught shoplifting, committing armed robberies, or getting involved in gang fights, ultimately ending up in prison or dying in the streets.Trevor himself was aware that his parents had been there for him when it mattered, to discipline him whenever he was about to go astray. That was how he had made it into a famous college and eventually earned a scholarship before kick-starting his career as a professional baseball player.Remembering that and considering what Tanya had been doing, he was starting to

    Charlie nodded. "Alright."He actually had no reason to receive Kathleen, but the reason she had suddenly decided to come must be because of him, so he naturally had to return the favor.Yoshitaka then turned toward Tanya and Trevor, bowing his head apologetically, "Excuse us for a moment. I'll be sure to introduce you to Ms. Fox, too."Tanya was well aware that Charlie was Kathleen's friend and not hers, and she really shouldn't try to join the reception to look chummy.Smiling and nodding, she said, "It's alright, Mr. Mitsui. We will be waiting right here."She then watched as Yoshitaka left with Charlie and the others, and promptly turned to Trevor, "Remember, Dear. Edit that video just now and make sure you only keep the two women, and not Mr. Wade.""Oh, okay," Trevor replied thoughtfully, frowning as he already had other ideas.Tanya was naturally not aware that Trevor was having second thoughts, and she continued grumbling indignantly, "That prick was way out of line, mov

    At that moment, Tanya absolutely regretted messing with Charlie or trying to 'reason' with him.Just Claire and Loreen's support would have been enough material for her, but now, she was embarrassed with so many watching.Seeing that Tanya was volunteering a ceasefire, Yoshitaka quickly stepped in to pacify the situation, smiling as he said, "The debate just now certainly broadened my horizon, but as we're on a schedule, we can afford to pick this up another time… do you agree, Mr. Wade?"Charlie smiled, shrugging. "You're the host, Mr. Mitsui. I certainly won't disagree."Tanya sighed in relief and turned to see that Trevor had quietly pocketed his phone. But even as she thought she was safe, Charlie suddenly turned toward Trevor and asked quietly, "If I'm not mistaken, you must have recorded our entire conversation?"Trevor quickly shook his head. "No… I was just checking the news. I didn't record anything."Charlie chuckled. "Calm down. I was just going to tell you that if y

    Everyone near enough to hear Charlie's rant and pointing out that Tanya was trying to raise minorities under her control was nodding.It was both legal and natural to protect the rights of any group, but lobbying for such things to increase their numbers changed the question altogether.Moreover, Tanya had definitely been doing just that, and one could even argue that she was amongst the vanguard.While everyone had been convinced before that she was an activist who cared about social ills, she was also stirring ripples that would eventually become a tide.That really brought her motives into question.Even Yoshitaka was watching them thoughtfully, rubbing his chin.Nearby, his wife asked Kokomi, "Is that true? You can bypass drug regulations by traveling to other states?"Kokomi thought about it and nodded as she answered softly, "Yes, I've heard about certain things that are allowed between different states…"Kokomi's mother cried out right then, "How can any lawmaker let thi

    Realizing that, Tanya couldn't wait to stop talking with Charlie.She just had to refrain from uploading that video, as it definitely was better than looking speechless while he eloquently ran his mouth.As such, clearing her throat in embarrassment, she said, "I admire your spirit as a humanitarian, Mr. Wade, but I still believe that such issues are up to the government. All I can do is call for the public to refrain from discrimination…"That was when Trevor, seeing how his girlfriend had been completely overwhelmed, stepped in and said, "Mr. Wade, you never answered Tanya's question and deflected by talking about illegal immigrants. In the end, are you trying to indirectly convey that you don't support minority rights, or am I wrong?"Tanya was relieved that her boyfriend hadn't just bailed on her, even turning defense into attack. Smiling lovingly at Trevor, she was welling with emotion as she thought to herself, 'Now that's my man, always there for me when it matters!'Turn

    In the end, no citizen genuinely loved having crossed into their borders illegally, but it was not a truth to be spoken lightly of either.Having grown up and even been molded by such an environment that didn't touch on sensitive subjects, Tanya knew better than to run her mouth.Hence, she lied through her teeth, "We're all humans, and all humans are born equal."Charlie nodded. "That's a fine attitude to have, and I think it should be recorded and put online so that everyone knows how kind and supportive you are of illegal immigrants."I approve and respect you stating your support for everyone and every minority, but why didn't you ever speak out the same way for illegal immigrants?"Tanya fidgeted uncomfortably. Still, she argued, "It's not just minorities and immigrants that the world has to focus on helping. There are plenty of other minorities that are deeply in need of help and concern. There's no way I can hold enough concerts to call for that.""Right," Charlie nodded
