Chapter 11

مؤلف: 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!”

    Hence, Claire bowed at Jeevika again. "Thank you, Master Jeevika!"Reluctant to stay, she took two steps backward, nodded and said softly, "I'll be going now."As she turned to leave, a curious Momo went up to her. "Ms. Wilson? What took you so long?"Claire had no idea Momo was a part of the conspiracy, and forced a smile. "I guessed I asked too many questions and it really dragged on. Go on in—I'll wait outside." Momo nodded, and then exclaimed in surprise, "Ms. Wilson? Where did you get those flowers?""I-It's a present from Master Jeevika," Claire replied awkwardly. "He said we seemed connected, and told me to take them home and care for them."Momo's eyes widened in curiosity. "Whoa, that sounds so mystical… But I guess I should go in now. I'll be right back, Ms. Wilson!"Claire nodded, watching as Momo headed into Feather Hall.Once inside, Momo found both Stephen and Jeevika around, and hurried over, asking in a hushed voice, "What should I do now, Mr. Thompson?"Steph

    Humans are creatures of hindsight most of the time, and it was only now that Claire realized that she fell for Charlie.But with the strange way things started between them, they couldn't get their relationship on the right track.And now, it was too late to change course.She knew full well that she had every reason to leave Charlie—whether temporarily or permanently, she needed to be gone from his world.And that meant she missed the best timing to properly develop a relationship.Seeing the pain on her face, Stephen knew in his mind that this wouldn't be easy for Claire.For Claire, it's not just leaving her husband, but also her entire social circle. It was she and her parents who needed to vanish from the place they lived without leaving any clues, not to mention that it was even more difficult now that she correctly guessed the connection between Quinn and Charlie. Feeling a little sympathy for Claire just then, Stephen sighed. "Mrs. Wade… You really don't have to worry t

    After thinking about it for a while, Stephen sighed and said, "Since you've taken the trouble to ask, then I shall give you the truth… Ms. Golding's parents were best friends with Curtis Wade and Ashley Acker, and they've mutually decided to betroth Ms. Golding to Master Charlie."And since she was a child, Ms. Golding always considered herself Master Charlie's fiancee. Even though he had gone missing for decades, she still held on to that conviction."Claire was shocked by the answer.But more than that, her heart hurt—not just because Charlie hid his heritage from her, but because she knew for a fact that Charlie and Quinn were reunited! Why else would Charlie bring her along to have dinner with Quinn?! That left Claire even more troubled.To some extent, she could understand why Charlie would hide his heritage from her.But he brought her along to meet another woman, with whom he was engaged to! All while she was still kept in the dark!That part was a bit too much to take.

    Stephen smiled and nodded. "Don't worry, Mrs. Wade. We're not keeping this from Master Charlie forever—once the dust settles and he exacts his revenge, we will tell him the truth."Claire pursed her lips, nodding after pondering for a long while. "If that's what's best for Charlie, then let's go with that. We will disappear from his world.""May I ask when you intend to do so?" Stephen asked. "I will make all the arrangements."Claire was suddenly hesitant, and thought about it for a long while until she eventually said, "Charlie agreed to spend the New Year's with us in the Maldives. We've been married for years, but we've never gone anywhere together, so I'd rather not miss it. "Also, it's Charlie's birthday on the second day of the second month in the Oskian calendar. I'd like to celebrate it with him… if it's not too much to ask?"Stephen nodded in understanding. "I know where you're coming from, but may I ask what plans you have on that day? Or where you might be? So we can

    Stephen smiled wryly. "Far as I know, even ten Master Charlie as he is now won't stand a chance."His face was wrinkled, but his eyes were clear looked Claire straight in the eye and sighed, "Please, Mrs. Wade. That is why I'm asking that you leave Master Charlie for the time being. He never told you anything because he didn't want to get you involved—to protect you. "However, it also puts him under a lot of pressure and distracts him. Surely you remember the time when your mother went missing for a while?"Claire nodded. "Yeah, she was tricked into a pyramid scheme…""That's not actually the case," Stephen smiled, shaking his head. "Your mother stole Master Charlie's debit card, which contained ten billion Oskian dollars that Jeremiah Wade entrusted me to wire into his account. Once your mother managed to find the pin code, she wired all the money to herself."Master Charlie was therefore worried he would be exposed, and lied that it was a fake debit card to cover his tracks. He

    Even before Claire could understand what Jeevika was saying, she could see the withering flowers coming to life again.The flowers that had turned ashen brown were suddenly vibrant and colorful again, the dried twigs and petals fresh and alive.Having never seen anything like that before, Claire was left completely dumbfounded.In her mind, life once lost couldn't be regained.So why was Jeevika able to restore life to those flowers?It really shattered everything she was taught for years, or what she thought of this world.But soon, she could even smell the faint fragrant scent of the flowers—it was fresh and natural. It was no sleight of hand—it was definitely nothing short of pure magic!Gaping at Jeevika, she blurted, 'H-How did you do this? How are you capable of such miracles?""Amitabha," Jeevika replied calmly. "But such paltry sticks are insignificant to Master Charlie's power."Claire was even more dumbstruck at that. "You're saying… Charlie can do this too?!""Of

    Charlie smiled faintly. “I understand what you mean. Blood is, after all, thicker than water, so it makes sense that you want to spare their lives. However… there’s something you should know.”Jasmine hurriedly asked, “What is it, Master Wade?”Charlie answered, “You want them alive, sure, no problem.

    The captain simply wanted to survive at this moment. So, he asked Charlie in a trembling voice, “Would you spare my life if I listened to you and obeyed everything you ask me to do?”Charlie nodded as he gave his word, “As long as you are willing to cooperate with me obediently, I will certainly spar

    When he saw that Rosalie recognized his origins immediately, Charlie smiled slightly before he said calmly, “Yes. I could be regarded as a member of the Wade family, or perhaps, I was a member of the Wade family before this.”Rosalie thought for a moment before she muttered, “If you were a member of
