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 7841

    Even with the Left Military Governorate subtly increasing shale oil production each passing year, the IRS would just ignore that. However, they were always monitoring closely every cent flowing in and out of their organization. Naturally, an increase in oil production means hundreds of millions in additional profits, but it couldn't be sold through standard distributors, since they had to keep it secret from Fleur Griffin.That was why the Left Military Governorate would first sell their stock to the Gettys off the books, who would then smuggle the oil to their own refinery. They would then inflate the numbers as they mixed the acquired oil with what they had themselves, and then sell it through standard distributors.After refinement, the oil would be distributed through Getty's global network and, through multiple rounds of transactions, eventually converted into untraceable commodities like gold or cash.And with this gray connection tying them together, David Getty—Wallis' hus

    Horus frowned. "Elder Griffin…? Oh, he was saying he wanted to check out Mexico a few days ago, and I arranged for his transport. "Esteban sighed in relief. "Good. His presence Stateside is more or less troublesome, and it's even more troublesome if he notices anything and tells Her Lordship when he returns to her."Nodding and waving him off again, Esteban said, "Alright, just go. And stick to the plan.""Yes, sir," Horus bowed and turned to leave.The present base of the Left Military Governorate was in an affluent district here in Miami. Naturally, they didn't plant themselves at the richest neighborhood for ease of movement, instead setting up a yacht club by the bay where countless ships moved without drawing anyone's attention.With both sea and land being viable routes, they were naturally much more secure.Esteban had picked Miami precisely to make full use of the Scholar lineage in the Gettys, and to have the Gettys sell off unplanned barrels of oil.For the convenienc

    The Rothschilds had always been a titan in trading, and their game plan was always to overwhelm their rivals with their sheer scale. If anyone wanted to cling to the Rothschilds, they would have to satisfy themselves with meager profits that wouldn't draw the family's attention. Otherwise, anyone trying to ride the wave of their success would be devoured whole too.That was why the third idea was stupid—the risk was high especially when betting big. And after much consideration, Esteban went with the third idea. It was safer—instead of hitting the futures market, they just had to stockpile while using small leverage to acquire more shares off the books. Once prices inflated again, they'd sell all their stockpile for a quick, hefty profit with the price difference. Even if the price fluctuated again afterward, there was no risk of suffering too much losses.Hence, he summoned his confidant—Horus Daven, praetor of the Left Military Governorate."Pay a visit to the Gettys and mee

    Always listening, the Left Military Governorate immediately caught wind.They might be a feudal lordship under the rule of the Qing Eliminating Society at the moment, but they hd also been making their own moves to further private agendas.Over the last few years, they had been making money through faking their numbers in their respective businesses. And making money had become so addicting that Esteban—the Left Military Governor himself was always watching every day to find any ideas to make even more.He had certainly been getting rich with the recent surge in oil prices. Like any stock market investor, he bought stocks that kept hitting the daily inflation limit, but even though he had plenty of money now, he was always watching out for the next big thing.Naturally, the core members of the Left Military Governorate were all his family and cronies, working in perfect tandem as he moved. Once they learned from Rachel that the Rothschilds intended to use the Middle East Conflict t

    The trio's faces stiffened, but soon they nodded and replied, "Yes, Ms. Getty."Getting into her room and locking the door, Rachel whipped out her phone and called her mother Wallis, who was waiting anxiously back home in Miami.Wallis had already informed the Left Military Governorate before Rachel met Julien, and they were thrilled. They naturally understood that Rob was insignificant to the Rothschilds but weren't giving up yet—if anything, that last name carried considerable weight on this side of the world. Even just having Rachel marry him would be a merit noted by Fleur herself.And now, they had Julien too—if they could really make things work with Julien, that was a major accomplishment under the belt of the Left Military Governorate.That was why the Left Military Governorate was keen to know all the details of Rachel's meeting with Julien, including why Julien had sought out Rob and what they had talked about.Since Rachel and Rob confirmed they were dating, Left Mili

    Even now, Rachel was still convinced that she would have to marry Rob no matter what.That was why she couldn't accept her future husband staying as a nobody in the Rothschild family.Before, the kid wouldn't even have a chance to glimpse the hierarchy of his extended family—the most he could do was become the head of his collateral family.But now, Rob had basically found providence in Julien, who could improve her odds of marrying Rob. And that mysterious Mr. Cooper whom Julien had bent backward to fawn over would be providence for her and her family too.Rob too understood profoundly at that moment that her girlfriend's political acumen far surpassed his, and that her explanations afforded him a clearer view of the many little things that governed his own life.Hence, he promptly pressed Rachel, "So you're saying I should try to keep in touch with my granduncle?""Of course," Rachel replied, nodding. "And not just stay in his good graces, but prove that you're loyal to him alo

    Charlie had grown up in an orphanage, so he understood Claudia’s feelings at this moment very well. Back then, when he was completely ignorant of everything that Stephen had arranged for him, he had been really sad and desperate as he curled up in a corner of the dormitory of Aurous Hill Welfare Ins

    Caden’s body tensed up nervously when he heard Charlie’s voice. He stepped forward to greet Charlie when he saw him coming in and then knelt at a distance of two to three meters away from Charlie as he said gratefully, “Thank you for your support, Master Wade!”After receiving the pill given by Charl
