Chapter 11

作者: 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!”

    Quinn nodded slightly. "Okay, we'll come over once we're finished!"Tanya then turned to smile at Charlie. "Do listen to 'Assassin' if you have the time, Mr. Wade. The translated lyrics really touched me."Charlie had never liked music and wouldn't particularly go out of his way to listen to pop songs.As for concerts, he had only ever attended the concerts of two artists, and they were both here in the room.Still, he made a mental note to study up on the song, although he wasn't sure if he had heard Quinn sing it when he had last seen her in concert.Even remembering it now, watching Quinn's concert had been quite entertaining.The first one had been in Aurous Hill, but he had been too worried about Quinn confessing her love to him to enjoy it.The second was in New York, but while he thought he could enjoy the concert for a change, he had discovered that the Qing Eliminating Society was coming for the Ackers.On the way back, Charlie linked his phone via Bluetooth to the MPV

    Charlie never dreamt that two women would be so dead set on making him dance for them at the same time.All six feet of him? Dance?However, before he could refuse, Quinn hugged his arm and pouted, "Please, Charlie… Just this once, okay? It's not even a dance—it's just wire stunts and some martial arts choreography. Also, you'd be wearing full armor that covers your face and even your hands. No one would even see your little finger."While Tanya was aware she had no right to pout at Charlie, she nodded and smiled expectantly, "Mr. Wade, if you can join us for our duet, I'm sure it would be an unforgettable memory.""Exactly!" Quinn nodded eagerly. "And you didn't promise me what I asked before, so you can promise me this one, right?"Charlie couldn't help relenting from seeing her pouting. As Quinn insisted that it was just some martial arts choreography, he said solemnly, "You promised—I won't show my face, or I'd embarrass myself."Seeing that Charlie had relented, Quinn hugg

    Pausing, Tanya then continued, "I'd like more interaction, ideally singing one of your songs and then one of mine, as well as a solo performance from you. What do you think?""No problem. I can basically sing all your songs," Quinn smiled cheerfully, but then asked worriedly, "But most of my songs are in Oskian… Will you be able to manage?""Of course!" Tanya nodded, smiling. "I've been following your work too. Being artists, we tend to have a good memory when it comes to rhythm and lyrics, though lyrics will be a little challenging, but that's fine. Besides, don't forget that we have teleprompters, and even with the language barrier, I could use transliteration, and that's most of the song done!"Charlie smiled and nodded as well. "I've seen artists do that abroad, and even the singers in the country do the same… There were still some that screwed up anyway, and it ended up being a viral meme."Quinn laughed. "So, you still remember?"Charlie chuckled. "It really was that infamou

    Tanya might not have regarded Quinn with much importance in the past—she was at least a few ranks beneath her as a singer, after all.At present, most globally influential artists lived in the western hemisphere, which had a lot to do with English being the universal language, and it was also how Hollywood remained on top of showbiz.Quinn may be influential amongst Oskians all over the world, but it didn't apply to the rest.That wasn't the case for Tanya, who was endlessly popular in almost every country—even where there was a language barrier. That was how she had risen as a global phenomenon.Even then, at this very moment, all her thoughts were on getting into Quinn's good graces.She really had no idea what the connection between Quinn and Charlie was, but she could tell from Charlie and Quinn's exchange that Charlie really cared about Quinn.And in Tanya's mind, if Charlie cared about Quinn, so must she.Quinn was ready to be starstruck herself and was surprised that said

    Charlie was stumped.He definitely did not expect Quinn to say that out loud, as he really expected her to share a tacit understanding not to press the issue.He didn't expect Quinn to just give up on pretenses and say it out loud.Still, he suddenly realized that this wasn't just a matter of perpetuating his lineage.For Quinn, this was just as important to her… If not more.And seeing his conflict, Quinn quietly reached over to tug on his arm, assuring him, "You don't have to feel pressured. I've got your back no matter what happens."Charlie nodded quietly, but he wasn't at ease at all despite his calmness.-Shangri-la was already congested with journalists when they arrived, as everyone was hoping to catch an exclusive for Tanya's first concert in Eastcliff.Fortunately, Shangri-la was sublime when it came to protecting their guests' privacy, clearing out the entire top floor for Tanya and her crew.Aside from the presidential suite booked for Tanya, the other business s

    Quinn's words left Charlie feeling a little awkward, as he didn't expect her to see through him right then.Even as he drove, he chuckled awkwardly, "No, I'm not hiding… We're going straight to Tanya to discuss your cameo…"Quinn smiled, shaking her head. "Please. I know we've been apart for years, but I still know you."She didn't make it obvious, but Charlie knew full well that she could read his mind.But while he wasn't sure how to respond, she added, "There are plenty of things that are less complicated than you think, and priority matters—it can wait."Charlie nodded, sighing. "I guess the old folks are getting a little impatient."Quinn nodded too, her tone serious, "There are plenty of things they're worried about, especially the situation where you might fail. But I'm not worried."Charlie chuckled. "You're that confident in me?""Yep!" Quinn replied bluntly, having unconditional faith in him.She wouldn't doubt it for a moment if Charlie were to one day claim the wor
