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 7221

    Charlie couldn't care less and said, "Just do as I say. The wire is the issue—it's going to snap soon!"With just a thought, he projected a burst of Reiki and sliced off the wire behind Tanya.At the same time, he released more to catch Tanya and hold her steady like invisible hands.However, the crew thought Charlie was being ridiculous—they were using a steel wire that could hold over 800kg. So how was it going to snap?The stage director was naturally going to argue when they all saw the wire snap.His knees almost buckling from terror, the stage director cried out in despair, "Oh, it's over… It's all over! Mercy on Tanya's soul…"Tanya herself was still fighting against the wire when she felt the pull disappear, and screamed in shock as she fell forward at the truss.Fortunately, she hadn't started singing and the sound master had yet to turn on her mic volume, or the entire stadium would have heard her scream.Tanya then turned and felt her legs shake when she saw the wire

    Meanwhile, the backstage was pure chaos.They had meticulously prepared such a dramatic entrance, but if the wire didn't extend and pull her up, leaving her dangling mid-air, they'd be embarrassing themselves the world over.Heck, after they rescued Tanya, her performance would have yet to start when the incident made entertainment headlines around the globe.But given the present circumstances, it was almost impossible to save Tanya, too—her wire was attached to an electric winch.It was connected to a wired panel backstage, and the crew was scrambling to push the button to extend the wire.Usually, they would visually confirm the wire tightness and slowly extend the wire as Tanya descended, like how a rock climber would have a spotter adjusting their rappel.But now, for some reason, the winch was malfunctioning, and they couldn't tell if it was the panel, the machinery, or the power supply. After all, the design concept of winches was to stop dead when power is cut off to av

    Feng Shui Consultant was a cover. Aside from getting changed for his backup dancer role, Charlie basically had nothing to do.There were also ninety minutes until he took the stage, as Quinn would only be going onstage an hour after Tanya's concert began, and another thirty minutes until Quinn's last song.Weaving through the gaps between various large stage equipment, he was amazed by the endless crowds in the national stadium. It was truly unprecedented for a single star to have such tremendous influence and fanbase.At 7:20 p.m., the last fans entered the stadium.The huge screen on the back of the stage was one huge structure, kept standing with a single-direction bearing.If the wire extended, the dozens feet high truss would slowly tilt forward, which would definitely be a shocking sight for many when it happens out of the blue.Tanya had reached the top of the stage with the backstage lift after the crew had tied her to the wire.When she appeared on stage and the screen

    The next day, when Tanya's Eastcliff concert was about to start, traffic departments sent notifications early on about heavy congestion. The national stadium was itself filled to the brim with fans from across the country and other corners of the globe, with some popular streamers even setting up livestreams on the spot. Despite being such a veteran performer, Tanya was somehow nervous for once.After all, it wasn't just Oskia's largest concert hall… She was going to share a stage with Charlie, and words couldn't begin to describe the excitement she felt from that.Quinn was also getting nervous, just like Tanya, despite having performed in front of a huge audience many times.Hence, as they were just thirty minutes before the concert started, Tanya and Quinn had a little girl's talk in their dressing room, with Tanya asking, "So, your farewell tour will be held here, too?""Yeah," Quinn smiled and nodded. "I planned it months ago.""How long until then?""Forty-ish days, giv

    As Charlie was instructed, he dropped his sword and held Quinn's face with both hands.She was still singing as the Maiden, reluctant to see the Assassin leave and intent on living out their days in secluded peace.Charlie pointed at the screen of the citizens suffering and gently pushed her away, picking up his sword and leaving without looking back.Quinn gave chase, hugging his waist and still singing—begging for him to stay, but he pried her hands away and continued forward in great strides.As instructed, he walked toward the screen and 'arrived' at the battlefield, where the Tyrant himself led the massacre of his own people.Another group of dancers took the stage, led by an enemy general, while the Tyrant stood behind his soldiers with a smug smile.As instructed, Charlie charged into the ranks of the enemy general's forces, cutting down everyone in his way and eventually claiming the head of the enemy general.There was a sharp pause, and suddenly, it was Tanya singing.

    Charlie thought he should put up a good show since he was here, anyway.He just had to do what Quinn asked, and the rest didn't matter.The crew was ready on the stage, and many of them were distracted when Charlie appeared in his costume.However they imagined it, Charlie really had the appearance of an ancient warrior, and it looked to the crew like one had truly manifested.Naturally, it was not just his costume, but it was everything from his gait to his mannerisms. As a powerful cultivator, he was naturally very different from actors whose martial arts were at best performative, and that was what the crew immediately noticed.To avoid leaks, Quinn, Tanya, and Charlie were all given wireless mics. The choreographer then came and instructed them, "Once Ms. Golding's second song ends, we will be playing a behind-the-scenes video for a few minutes. Please quickly proceed backstage for the change of clothes. Tanya and Dancer One will be waiting in turn at the elevator."Charlie
