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 7018

    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

    As Tanya's concert would proceed as scheduled, the private party more or less ended by 5 pm.Tanya had plenty of preparation to attend to, from costumes to dancers and final checks before the concert, which was why she and Trevor excused themselves at five sharp, leaving the party and heading straight backstage.The other guests were attending the concert by seven, so Yoshitaka had arranged a buffet for them, allowing them to chat over food.Charlie, Claire, and Loreen were joined by Kathleen and Kelly Wearstler at the same table.Yoshitaka dropped by for a bit of small talk out of politeness, but he was soon gone to entertain other guests.Then, as half the buffet was served, Kathleen's phone jingled as she received a notification titled: Tanya Sweet's debate with a mysterious man regarding celebrity influence.Surprised, she exclaimed, "Mr. Wade! I think that video of the little discussion between you and Tanya was just uploaded on the internet?""Really?" Charlie smiled and s

    Given Tanya's influence, just a video with her face in it would propel the video to trending on every entertainment section across the globe, if not outright making headlines.And when it did, her reputation would be affected.However, Tanya was insisting that she be included in that video, and that meant she was clearly stepping into the ring.Trevor could certainly see that the video would hurt Tanya if it were uploaded in full.Still, seeing how determined she was, he also realized that her heart had changed.Previously, she would support the senator she advocated for, including all the senator's views on social issues and skewed opinions, whether it was justified morally or not. However, now that Tanya realized public figures should really be careful about how they influence their followers, she hoped to let the world see how Charlie had criticized her, as a wake-up call to everyone, especially those who were just as ignorant about the mob mentality that ignored simple morals

    That was why Tanya and Trevor weren't talking about reconciling directly so soon.Tanya herself was glancing between Trevor and Charlie, and she couldn't help feeling a little envious seeing how Charlie behaved around Claire.It was almost an eccentricity of hers, but she didn't mind that her past relationships would end with breakups or were short-lived. Rather, passion and sensationalism were the priority.But now, she noticed that such elements weren't all that necessary—relationships of boring happiness lasted long, too.While she envied Claire for getting herself such a charismatic husband, she also understood that one could go a lifetime without ever encountering such a fine specimen of a man, and she definitely had no such luck. Still, even if Trevor almost looked like a boy who had just gotten his driving license, he genuinely cared about her and was willing to stay by her side when it mattered. That alone made him a fine catch, too.Feeling a little remorseful about t

    Soon, as Tanya calmed down, she returned to the party with Trevor.Yoshitaka, who had committed all of Charlie's requests to memory, went on stage and announced to the guests, "Everyone, after a bit of communication with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the American Embassy, it seems that there has been a bit of miscommunication regarding the remanding of Ms. Sweet."Once they understood that there was a mistake, they promptly sent both Ms. Sweet and Mr. Kennedy back to us. As it was nothing more than human error, I would like to ask that none of us speak further about this issue, especially to the press and the public. Without proper context, it could easily be framed into an unnecessary scandal for everyone involved."Pausing, Yoshitaka's tone became sterner as he continued, "On top of asking everyone's cooperation in keeping this quiet, I can offer an assurance upon the honor of Mitsui Group—if anyone attempts to leak news of what happened, we will devote all our resources to

    Being somewhat of a friend, Kokomi went up to comfort the tearful Tanya too, "Right now, you should try to calm down and prepare for the concert. It could affect you if you get too agitated—try your best to pretend nothing ever happened so that the fans can't tell that something happened while you're on stage."Kokomi wasn't offering simple words of comfort, but advice too, and it definitely worked.Tanya quickly realized that if she kept crying hysterically, her vocal chords could get hurt while her stamina wore down, which would greatly diminish her ability to put up a good show tonight.Hence, wiping her tears and taking a few deep breaths to calm down, she told herself that she must put up a perfect performance for the fans and not disappoint a single one of them—and certainly not a certain Mr. Wade.Seeing that Tanya had gathered herself, Yoshitaka spoke, "Let's all go back inside. It's freezing out here. Those ninjas and assassins will be sent to our private hospitals, so rem
