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 7023

    Yet now, Kevin gave up completely.Tanya's menacing presence and the way she had threatened to cancel him left him petrified.At this point, his only choice was to take her deal and leave without a word, and he would still retain the title of Tanya's former personal makeup artist.Meanwhile, Tanya was telling her manager, "And another thing. Tell everyone that we're not going on break. For the next month, I'll be doing ten concerts in Oskia, and the holiday only starts after."The manager was shocked once again. "Ten concerts in Oskia?! Why are you only telling us now?! There's so much preparation needed, but on such short notice, and everyone is ready to go on holiday after the Tokyo stop! They've even bought their own flight tickets to go elsewhere. It'd be demoralizing for everyone if you just pull them out of their holiday mood…""I'm only telling you now because I just decided on it today," Tanya replied flatly. "In regard to the short timetable, that's on the rest of you. Os

    Kevin quickly realized that he was the one in danger upon Tanya's threat—it was the first time he was seeing her being this aggressive after working for her for years.He had no reason to doubt what she said either—she was the richest artist bar none, and her labels sold her LPs, digital media, and everything else in between across the world. There were millions, if not billions, who listened to her songs every day everywhere, all of which made her money, be it in small amounts or more.Even if individual digital albums sold for tens of dollars or less, with millions buying them, that still meant tens of millions. Moreover, no individual or organization could beat her claims of copyright. She could be flamed or boycotted all over the world, but she would still get paid her dividends from her copyrights, and the same thing applied to every other individual who owned similar copyrights but had been canceled for standing against political movements.That meant even if Tanya decided t

    Wheeling on Kevin, Tanya strode up to him as she snapped, "First of all, I never betrayed anyone! I was vocal before, but that also means I'm capable of staying silent! My voice is mine, and just because I endorsed someone before, it doesn't mean they own me!"Then, she raised her voice even more as she continued, "Also, every individual has the freedom of choice! I've always respected yours, even now, but did you return that favor? Do you respect my choice? I've taken good care of you for as long as you've worked for me, and I even supported you when you came out with everything I had. I'm just tired of all that activism and need a break, yet you're already calling me out for letting you down? For turning against you?!"Kevin was left flustered as he really didn't expect Tanya to snap, and he quickly said, "W-Wait, that's not what I mean… I just think people who look forward to your support will be disappointed…""Well, don't you think I'm disappointed now?" Tanya shot back. "I've

    After all, a ton of celebrities had publicly declared that if their endorsed politician lost, they would leave the country and only return four years later during the next election.Of those celebrities, Tanya had the most influence.Naturally, plenty of people were out to see what she would say in her concert this time.But contrary to everyone's expectation, the concert went on for three and a half hours with not a peep about it. There were also the usual fan segments where members of the audience were invited onstage too, but somehow, she never once talked about her support for anything, individual or political group.While the average fan was surprised by the unusual silence, the more gung-ho side of her fandom was utterly disappointed. After all, they expected the usual political shoutouts to them, but they never heard a word from Tanya, even after waiting the entire night.Feeling like they had been abandoned, they took to social media and lamented that Tanya had turned

    Hence, even as the video blew up the internet, Tanya had forgotten about it and started to prepare for her concert.For Charlie's part, he was aware that Trevor would only post the video with Tanya's approval, and it could well be her who had told Trevor to do it.That certainly changed his opinion of her, as doing something like that would hurt her reputation and lose her some fans.In other words, it took great courage, but it was also a good thing in the long run.In the end, she had to take the first step to set herself apart from the leeches, specifically, leeches with ulterior motives.The video definitely made her look bad, but in the end, it wasn't definitely scandalous.In fact, Tanya could use the attention gained from the video to set herself apart from some of those leeches, safely getting off the bandwagon and standing on firm ground once more.Meanwhile, after having their fill of the buffet, it was time to enter the dome for the concert.Looking at the video, Cha

    Sentiments in the comment sections quickly turned one-sided, with plenty of people agreeing that the man in the video argued fairly that celebrities' influence only generated mindless mobs instead of protecting the rights of minority groups.It didn't just resonate with the hearts of many—Tanya's poor arguments, skewed logic, and opinions were all overwhelmingly beaten by the man in the video. If anything, most of the viewers couldn't help but see Tanya as a misbehaving child in comparison.Moreover, Charlie's opinion on keeping minors out of celebrity interference didn't just gain the approval of the viewers. They were reminded that when Tanya went all out to spread her personal opinions on social issues, it had poisoned the minds of many a minor, which in turn led to much criticism.Fortunately, Tanya had legions of global fans who liked either her persona or her work, but were also neutral toward her vocal advocacy for certain issues and minorities. While they could see that the
