Chapter 11

Penulis: 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 7307

    Still, every guest here must be rich, and a few hundred grand was really acceptable.After settling in their villas and taking a break, Charlie mentioned dinner, sending a brochure of the restaurants.Elaine was the first to reply, "Let's try the local seafood first! I heard their local dishes are great!""Sure," Charlie replied, and quickly called Hani to reserve a table at the restaurant serving local cuisine.After booking a reservation, all four of them put on Hawaiian shirts and khaki shorts, stepped out into the sea breeze, and headed out to the restaurant.The scenery along the way was simply gorgeous—Jacob and Elaine never stopped taking pictures.In contrast, Claire looked bored, clapping her hands front and behind as she strolled along, clearly not interested in any of it.Concerned, Charlie asked, "Why do you look so bored, dear? You don't like the place?"Claire forced a smile and shook her head. "I guess the journey wore me out and I can't quite recover yet. And I

    Mrs. Larcelle was on the verge of tears. "It's like we can't shake them off. They just keep showing up wherever we go…""Urgh, you don't get it," Mr. Larcelle growled under his breath. "They are rich—if not richer than us, so they'd pick the expensive stuff in the Maldives. But even if they were quite something, we'd be doing our own thing and staying out of each other's way. Just bear with it."However, Mrs. Larcelle remained upset and groaned, "Urgh, this is really killing my mood… It's so annoying…"Mr. Larcelle promptly hissed, "Oh, just pipe down already! The less trouble, the better—get it? It's my fault for starting it at the airport, so let's just leave it at that, alright?"Mrs. Larcelle was still sulking.It was supposed to be a dream journey, but Elaine had been trouncing her since the lounge, even after they disembarked.And it was a really tough pill to swallow.Fortunately, Elaine no longer considered them a threat and didn't even bother to mess with them.So as t

    Jacob and Elaine didn't take photos or talk loudly to keep up appearances and looked like they always flew first-class.That in turn pleased Charlie. Fortunately, the conflict ended before they boarded their flight, and now there was peace and quiet.The flight lasted a handful of hours until they landed in Male, the capital of the Maldives.Male was a small island, so the airport was small—but there were private jets and other luxury aircraft as far as one's eyes could see.As a globally renowned vacation spot, the economy was modest and the average GDP was nothing to brag about, but the rich and privileged were always drawn here.Naturally, they loved this place because everything was great here—the scenery, the sea, the climate, and most importantly, it was an island country.It was basically thousands of islands of varying sizes far away from the mainland. Some were populous, inhabited with so many locals that they looked like slums.Others were all private properties, cover

    As Claire recalled all the things that happened to her mother, she had come to understand a truth—she and her parents were very ordinary people, and very ordinary people wouldn't have miracles rolling in one after the other, let alone wealth that seemed to fall right on their lap.That was why as Claire started thinking back to all the things they had been through for the past few years, she was sure that everything unbelievable or lucky was Charlie's work behind the scenes.Her own father used to be directed by his family, but somehow became the vice president of the Calligraphy and Painting Association—that must be Charlie too.Most embarrassingly, her father managed to lose that job because of the scandal he caused, but Charlie stepped up again and restored him to a leadership position.As such, even if her father was less self-centered and less of a troublemaker compared to her mother, he caused Charlie plenty of trouble anyway.At that moment, Claire's heart swelled with mela

    Elaine actually didn't think that Mr. Larcelle would give in that easily from just a video post, when he was being so pompous outside the airport just earlier.Still, even as she grinned triumphantly, she was thinking to herself that it really didn't hurt to post so much on social media—that was something she used to great effect now, no?With that in mind, she snorted coolly and told Mr. Larcelle, "Young man, I don't mind giving it to you straight—never overestimate your own importance. Always understand that there's always a bigger fish… See, my husband is an important man in the Calligraphy and Painting Association, so he can't show off too much. If it were just me alone, I'd be flying to the Maldives on a G650. Why would I even get on the same plane as you?"Any pride Mr. Larcelle had completely vaporized under Elaine's menacing glare just then, and he kept bowing his head in apology, "Yes, you're right, ma'am. I should know better and tone it down!"Nodding in satisfaction, El

    While Mr. Larcelle knew what he was dealing with, Mrs. Larcelle definitely didn't.Although she had hooked up with Mr. Larcelle for a while now, she never really enjoyed the privilege of a private jet, only hearing him talk about it a couple of times.And Mr. Larcelle definitely couldn't bear to splurge on a long journey with a private jet, only hitching rides after a flight had been chartered, or just for a short trip back to Aurous Hill. As the cost-effectiveness of private jets was simply that low, private jet owners usually had agents negotiating bargains with interested parties—a few dozen thousand Oskian dollars to cover fuel costs, and they'd happily let someone else ride along. It was very much like a cabbie picking up a fare on his way home after a long journey.Still, to put on airs, Mr. Larcelle once spent a hundred grand flying from Aurous Hill to Coleham, and he had since been bragging about it, even telling his new wife that he would fly private jet wherever he went.
