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 7859

    Julien nodded without hesitation. "No problem!"He didn't even know who Charlie intended to fleece, but he relished the idea of being Charlie's accomplice. In contrast, one might only be considered a business partner if it was charity, but inviting someone to something shady meant you were now a partner-in-crime, which definitely holds more weight than being a business partner.Hence, Charlie chose an Oskian-American crypto trader in the US, a titan in the scene. However, he also recently narrowly escaped jail time and seizure of all his assets by bribing friends in high places with over ten billion—it was basically cutting off a limb to survive. Any sane man would have left right away too, but he didn't, nor did he see the loss of money as all that horrible. He already paid his dues, and that meant he could stay Stateside without worry of arrests.Recently, he had been doing everything he could to build close ties with America's elites to strengthen his recent position in the cou

    Julien was determined as this was a perfect chance for him to show his loyalty. To curry Charlie's favor, a few hundred million USD sounded like a damn good deal.Hence, he assured Charlie, "If there's more to be done, just leave it to me! I'll take full charge!" Seeing that he was insisting, Charlie didn't argue and nodded slightly. "Alright, then you're on point for this one. And try to make it look real."Then, turning to Rachel, he said, "In the evening, report that Julien is going to manipulate the cryptocurrency market—say it's at least three times the profit. They will be delighted, and definitely try to squeeze you for more information, if not directly ask Julien's permission to buy in. We will arrange the groundwork in a couple of days to slowly reel him in."Rachel bowed her head respectfully right then. "Yes, Mr. Cooper. I'll get it done."Charlie nodded and sighed. "We will also need something convincing enough for him to invest everything he has, which would cost a

    However, a mind trick wasn't the best option if Charlie wanted control over Esteban—the man was a governor serving the Qing Eliminating Society and therefore close to their inner circle, if not having personal contact with Fleur.It was therefore likely Fleur would send an elder or some confidante to inspect Esteban at a moment's notice, and the mind trick could very much be noticed.That was why he needed Esteban to be his willing slave.Naturally, bribery or threats wouldn't work in that respect—he needed Esteban to mess up big time.It was clear Esteban wasn't completely loyal if he had the guts to make profits behind Fleur's back. Working from that logic, using more profits to tempt him would work, and he could well make a fatal mistake from there.Rachel had no idea what Charlie's real plan was, but had the feeling it was no pipe dream if he wanted to control Esteban either.Nodding without hesitation, she said, "Whatever you need, Mr. Cooper—just ask! I'll do my best to h

    Moreover, the staff tactfully left once they took Rachel to the lounge where Charlie and Vera were.Once it was just the three of them, Rachel glided toward the other two and bowed reverently, "Greetings, Mr. and Ms. Cooper!"Charlie smiled at her. "I'm guessing the Left Military Governorate was really pleased with buying the dip?" Rachel nodded repeatedly. "Yes! The governor was so pleased he even sent a praetor to reward me!"She then told Charlie about all the rewards Esteban showered her with, along with the Dragon Bronze Plaque.Taking it for a brief look, Charlie handed it back to Rachel and said quietly, "This Plaque plus the antidote that lasts 180 days definitely means progress. But that's still stingy of Esteban—he should have given your mother one too."He spoke nonchalantly, but it really struck a chord with Rachel.Being a Scholar wasn't an individual tragedy—it was generational, lasting several centuries.After all, Rachel was not the only Scholar in her family,

    Looking at it that way, the Rothschilds were really the perfect fortress.-Early the next morning, Rob freshened up and headed to Rachel's dorms while everyone else was having breakfast.Rachel herself dressed up prettily before heading to the airport with Rob, where the private jet Julien had arranged was already waiting. Within hours, they arrived at Cambridge where Julien's convoy had been waiting for a while, and quickly took them to a private golf course near Harvard.Harvard didn't have a golf course like Boston or Yale, and the college team had to train at nearby sports centers. Still, it was a luxurious place considering the alumni and exclusivity were so highly restricted that not just anyone could attain membership.Rob was surprised that they would go to the golf course directly. Naturally, he had a good swing as he had learned a little as a child of privilege, and was thrilled at the prospect of Julian inviting him for some golfing, which in turn meant appreciation.

    After meeting Julien and receiving advice from his girlfriend, Rob realized that having Julien's favor was more important than having his own family's favor.Hence, as soon as Julien called to invite him and Rachel to Harvard for dinner, he said yes without even asking Rachel.After that, he happily called Rachel and told her about the invitation.Rachel already knew everything, but still feigned excitement and exclaimed, "Great! That's definitely good news for you… But when are we going?""Tomorrow!" Rob chirped. "His private jet would be waiting at the airport and would take us directly there… He also said we can decide when, so we should go sooner, or wait a little?"Rachel giggled. "Sooner, obviously. It's a few hours of flight and the sooner we get there, the more respectful we'd be.""That makes sense!" Rob agreed. "Then we will go right after breakfast tomorrow!""Okay. I'll be waiting for your call tomorrow," Rachel replied.Esteban was naturally listening in on Rachel'
