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 6959

    As Tanya was way too famous, her concert in Tokyo drew not just elites, but also many famous celebrities from across the country.In fact, Claire and Loreen recognized many invited celebrities, all of whom were A-list actors and popular singers.Charlie watched as the pair started listing the faces they had spotted while he stood in a corner.He simply wasn't interested in any celebrities, here or elsewhere, and even less keen to mingle with the elites around the room. He was never one who sucked up to wealth and influence, and the elites here didn't interest him, no matter how accomplished they were.After all, even the Rothschilds were slaves to his whims, and everyone here was insignificant compared to the Rothschilds.Interestingly, everyone here was speaking English and not a single word of Japanese, which surprised Charlie.Still, it soon made sense to him as the Japanese had always admired the western side of the globe, as suits, neckties, steaks, and the English language

    Loreen was envious of Claire, too, especially since she had had the hots for Charlie for a while now, and seeing how Charlie would dote on Claire in every way made her envy Claire even more.Still, she took a moment to compose herself as she told Charlie and Claire, "Meet Sasaki Sachiko. Her mother and my mother were friends in university, and we both go way back, too."Sachiko hugged Loreen's arm and smiled, "My mom was just saying that we should visit Oskia soon, and she wants to meet your mom. I'll join her if I have the time!""Great!" Loreen beamed happily. "Do tell me before you come—I will definitely arrange the best trip ever as your host, and we can share a bed at my place!"Sachiko smiled and nodded. "I was just thinking about inviting you as well as Mr. and Mrs. Wade over to my place, but you told me you booked a hotel."Loreen turned and smiled pointedly at Charlie just then, "Sorry, but Charlie here insisted that we shouldn't owe you too much. I mean, as soon as I tol

    Charlie, having nothing to do in the morning, was dragged along by Claire and Loreen on a stroll across Tokyo.In the afternoon, Loreen took them to a famous sushi restaurant, and the chef was an old geezer with a strange temper.The food was expensive, and it was hard to get a booking there. Charlie had three distinct opinions after that lunch.First and foremost, the interior was more than a little rundown.Secondly, he couldn't fathom what the divine flavor was about.Thirdly, he definitely didn't get a full stomach from it.After that, they returned to the hotel to unload what they had gotten from shopping, and Loreen urged Charlie and Claire to put on something formal before the pre-concert private party.After they had cleaned up and changed, they headed downstairs, where a Lexus LS was waiting for them.It was a Mitsui Group event, and they made sure to provide transport to every guest, each one being the same car model.It was a few hours before the actual concert, but

    Charlie nodded. He had heard about Mitsui Group, as they were less a family than a conglomerate.And with members keen to shrug off the family label, most considered Mitsui a brand.That was when Loreeen remembered something and flashed a mysterious smile at Charlie, "Also, Tany has her own motives for attending the party. Her boyfriend is a baseball player, and baseball is the most popular sport in Japan, next to soccer. I'm sure Tanya's keen to help her boyfriend hook up with Mitsui Group and properly expand into the Japanese scene."Charlie smiled and nodded. "You sure are obsessed, studying that much into the game!"Loreen giggled. "Not really. Even if I am obsessed, there's no way I could get my hands on so much insider information. It was my friend who told me everything, since she's not just a distant member of the Mitsui lineage, but has prospered thanks to the Mitsui Group. She's besties with the Mitsui heiress and got us those tickets, after all."Even the party invite w

    Aurora was beside herself in excitement, "Thank you, Master Wade! I will do my best to win gold, or I don't deserve your care and help!"Charlie smiled and nodded slightly.He admired Aurora's attitude, having the pride of an heiress but not getting conceited over it.She carried confidence when she should, and knew when to humble herself instead of arguing or remaining conflicted.In the fickleness of modern society, she was a rare breed.-Charlie watched the awards ceremony before texting Aurora goodbye, and he then left Budokan.Claire and Loreen reached the hotel just as he did, and they were having a lively chat in Charlie and Clarie's room. Seeing Charlie, Loreen said, "Charlie, you should stick with us tomorrow afternoon—we're going to a party.""What party?" Charlie asked, curious. "A private one, organized by Mitsui Group," Loreen explained excitedly. "Tanya Swift will be there, so we can take photos with her or get an autograph. The party is in the rear hall, and

    Charlie understood what Aurora meant and smiled, "Anything should operate within the confines of logic, or it'd just backfire."Aurora nodded in agreement. "I think so too. I'm not even demanding the sporting committee respect my choice, but the match just makes me uncomfortable. I guess I won't take part in the future."Poking out her tongue, she sighed as she complained, "I won't lie—I was thinking of quitting since it doesn't really help me improve. Martial arts is more direct and not bound by regulations… However, my father insisted, telling me I should gather more accolades under my belt before I graduate, so I can take part in the world championships and enroll in top universities. That's just how vain he is."Charlie chuckled. "Can't blame a man for having high hopes for his daughter. He has already made a ton of money for the family, so he would definitely hope you can succeed."Aurora nodded. "I get what you're saying, but I can't work concurrently with fighting and anothe
