Chapter 11

مؤلف: 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 7787

    Vera's suggestion definitely inspired Charlie—the nine portals spread across the globe would allow him to keep the entire world at his fingertips, while the void ring provided incredible logistics capacity as support.The void pocket was at least 350,000 cubic feet wide, which meant an alarming amount of space for resources. That was at least 90,000 tons worth of crude oil, making it no different from an oceanic cargo ship.And in comparison, it takes a cargo ship a month at minimum to cross the seas, while Charlie needed just ten seconds to travel the same distance.Still, even with the convenience of the nine portals, he couldn't just do everything by himself. As such, the best idea was to have a shipping company and hub, with planes making the final journey to deliver his resources where he wanted them, after which he gathered everything into the void pocket.It would take billions of dollars, but that was nothing compared to Charlie's wallet—the only issue was that such capital

    Vera looked up at the leaves of the kombuc tree, peering through the leaves at the starry sky, smiling as she breathed softly, "I've been staring at the stars for four hundred years, but it looks different today. I used to find it infinite and wonderful, but now there's also mystery and terror lurking within that same infinity."Charlie looked up at the stars and nodded as well."I once thought that the universe was so vast," he sighed. "What with two hundred billion stars in the Milky Way alone, each star having its own star system like our sun… That's why I was confident that there is life in them too. "But I also used to feel superior about us, presuming that even if there were extraterrestrial life, most of it would probably just be microorganisms living in water… That they are unlikely to be blessed with the right timing and conditions to develop into a civilization comparable to humanity. "That is, until now. Looking at the stars again, knowing that there are lifeforms who

    As night arrived at Aurous Hill airport, the Gulfstream Business Jet touched down safely on the tarmac and quickly taxied into the prearranged hangar.It was a highly secluded hangar that most civilians couldn't access, with even the ground crew kept out.Two black Houlmounts that won't draw attention were waiting in a corner even as the plane slid into the hangar, with Logan Carrick, his wife, Emmett Sandsor, and Marilyn Lacey waiting for them alongside the chauffeurs.As the business jet stopped, Charlie and Vera disembarked consecutively.Logan Carrick, his wife, and Emmett Sandsor quickly approached them, bowing their heads respectfully in greeting. "Ms. Lavor. Mr. Wade."Vera smiled at them. "Thanks for waiting and traveling all the way here. It must be taxing, especially at your age."Logan smiled respectfully. "Not at all. We're always glad to be of service, and we are feeling pretty good after the pills Mr. Wade blessed us with."Vera laughed and nodded. "And tell Emmett

    As such, Vera squeezed Charlie's hand as she changed the subject and asked, "How do you think we should get from Westron to Aurous Hill? We have no identification since our current identities are registered to have passed through Argentina, and it'd raise alarms if it suddenly showed up in Oskian traffic."Charlie thought about it, and nodded. "I'll ask Isaac Cameron to send a private jet and see if we can board it directly to the airport."Vera shook her head. "Those who know that we're in the Antarctic would be aware we can't make it back in this season. Smarter ones would quickly smell a rat—we can only trust closest confidantes on this one, and keep others out of the loop.""Makes sense," Charlie nodded again in agreement. "What do you have in mind?"Vera smiled. "I'll get Emmett and Logan. I've known them since they were kids, and they know that I've lived for four hundred years. They won't be surprised that we're suddenly back, nor would they pry or mention it to anyone else.

    Charlie absolutely agreed with Vera's opinion—the path of cultivation inherently consumed enormous resources for an individual. It used the most refined Reiki to infinitely enhance personal strength, and from a wider perspective, it was nothing less than squandering. After all, they were talking about concentrating resources for only a few million or even fewer cultivators all while draining dry a planet capable of sustainably supporting billions. It's a celebration of elitism and not wider society or even human civilization. They are therefore speculating that an advanced spacefaring group of cultivators must have arrived before the dawn of human civilization. Instead of inspiring and leading, they devoured Earth's cultivation resources and then left without looking back. Therefore, the portal built in the plaza pagoda of the subterranean city is—bluntly speaking—a funnel through which they plundered all of Earth's resources, sending out worker ant-like cultivators to franticall

    Pausing, Vera continued, "When I studied at Harvard over a hundred years ago when the discipline of biology first came to be, scientists across the world began the discussion on the theory of evolution. Many of them were particularly obsessed with fossils of prehistoric creatures, with Harvard being the central location of such forums and discussions."At the time, academics already had complete chains of biological specimens and evidence to prove evolution. From fossils of Cambrian trilobites to Cretaceous dinosaurs along with the first primates—or the microbial remains of more than 3 billion years ago, it's all solid proof that evolution applies."It's been decades. Even if I stayed out of the limelight, the many enterprises and organizations with my investments had excavated fossils, DNA tests and other research to further prove the theory of evolution."Charlie nodded, but was bemused and waited as Vera took a deep breath and kept going. "But to sum it all up… There's an order w

    Charlie nodded. "Alright."He actually had no reason to receive Kathleen, but the reason she had suddenly decided to come must be because of him, so he naturally had to return the favor.Yoshitaka then turned toward Tanya and Trevor, bowing his head apologetically, "Excuse us for a moment. I'll be

    Christopher hurriedly agreed before he said, “Yes, Claire. I think that it is very important for your father to build up his health again. He should recuperate in a good environment with a good mood! So, why don’t you listen to your grandmother and come back to live in the Wilson family villa? I wil
