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 7005

    Yoshitaka didn't expect Charlie to be so rough and demand that Tanya perform anyway.After all, divas like Tanya had a temper, but forget being unable to sweet-talk her, he was even threatening her?!The woman earned millions per year easily, and while it was a far cry from global bankers, she was just one girl.That meant she didn't have a big family or company to sustain. If necessary, she could just throw her parents a few million for pocket money, but the rest would be hers and hers alone. A life like that couldn't be more delightful—even a canceled concert would just cost a few dozen million in comparison. And if she really didn't feel like it, her compliance was a pipe dream!To no surprise, Tanya was upset with how rough Charlie was being with her.She had been so popular for so long that she was fawned over everywhere—but while even the likes of the world's richest man had to say he was a fan of hers, Charlie was somehow treating her like an employee!She definitely c

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7004

    It's not as if Yoshitaka had never met any assassins—it was just that no matter how savage they were, they didn't match the deathly presence that Charlie seemed to project.While curious about who Charlie was or how every part of him seemed to scream murder, he wasn't sure why Kathleen was utterly sycophantic of him.Still, with Charlie clearly holding the advantage, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. I'm a man of my word.""Alright," Charlie nodded and turned to Peter. "From now on, Mr. Mitsui will be in charge of your safety and welfare. I'm really not that interested in your bosses, so you don't have to tell me—stay alive, and you'd be holding up your end of the deal."Earnestly worshipful toward Charlie just then, Peter quickly nodded. "Thank you, Mr. Wade! Thank you!"Charlie then turned back to Yoshitaka. "Like I said, I'm just requesting their protection. You don't get to harass them or coerce them into giving up sensitive information—treat them as guests, understo

    That was when the Toyota minibus and its entourage returned to Tokyo Dome, and the security personnel at the gates stood in a row, bowing respectfully as the convoy pulled up inside the building.Yoshitaka was trembling even as he watched the so-called CIA convoy return, as traumatized as he was furious.Talk about stepping on his toes, and right in the middle of his turf! To attempt an abduction right in his face?! It wasn't just an insult—it was ignominy!Nonetheless, the minibus soon stopped steadily in front of Yoshitaka and Kathleen, and the door soon opened.Charlie stood inside, beckoning to Tanya and Trevor. "You two. Go."The couple promptly leaped off the minibus without delay, their faces still pale from fear.On their necks was that little hole where the syringes had left a slight bruising after it had been forcibly removed—a gruesome sight.Kokomi exclaimed urgently, "Are you alright, Tanya?!"Seeing her, Tanya ran up and wrapped her arms around Kokomi as she sobbed, "You

    Yoshitaka was no fool—he had simply misjudged an earlier decision but stuck with it, and hence, the mistake had snowballed from there.That was also precisely why he wasn't concerned when his daughter had voiced her suspicions, even arguing as if in a knee-jerk reflex.But now, with Kathleen explaining the whole situation, he truly came to his senses and realized how big a blunder he had just made!Her description of what would have been alone left Yoshitaka sweating buckets, as Kathleeen wasn't exaggerating at all. Mitsui Group's reputation would be utterly destroyed if Tanya were truly killed, and he would most probably be forced to resign to appease the outraged citizens.While there was always a sense of hypocrisy in any nation's sense of justice, it was built upon one common denominator: keeping everything under the rug. But should what was beneath the rug be exposed to the public, whoever was found responsible would be reduced to a pariah, abandoned and condemned by everyone els

    Meanwhile, Yoshitaka still wasn't aware of how serious things were, but his daughter, Kokomi, had noticed how odd the situation was."Why would the CIA take Tanya away?" She asked. "There's just something strange about this."Yoshitaka simply smiled. "Oh, Kokomi—you just don't know much about politics, do you? Tanya may be a superstar, but she involved herself in things she shouldn't have been involved in and even bet on the wrong horse. Winner takes all, but she's on the losing side, so her punishment was only a matter of time."On top of that, the winner made it clear he wasn't at all pleased with her behavior until now and publicly announced that there would be a probe when he wins. Everyone knows how petty he can get, so it's not that surprising for an official investigation into Tanya. Who knows how much evidence yet unknown to the public he has by now, and once they are revealed, Tanya's career is definitely over."Kokomi pursed her lips in hesitation but still said, "If that's t

    With that, Peter turned toward the driver. "Turn. Don't wait for them."The driver nodded, quickly slowed down, and took a U-turn at the next junction back to Tokyo Dome.That was when Tanya and Trevor, holding hands but still clearly in shock, moved toward them. Tanya especially had lost her previous pride, watching Charlie with a troubled look as she stammered, "M-Mr. Wade… I'd like to call my family through the embassy. We need asylum after something this bad happened…""No," Charlie replied, impassive. "Going back is just fine.""Why not?" Tanya couldn't help asking. "These people are killers—shouldn't we at least tell the cops about something so serious?!""Nope," Charlie's response remained icy. "Starting now, I call the shots around here. You have no right to make any without my permission.""But—"Before Tanya could keep arguing, Charlie snapped, "No buts. If you refuse, I'm getting off this instant and won't intervene with whatever they do to you. It doesn't matter to me if y
