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 7239

    Seeing how loud the fans were, Tanya couldn't help whispering into Charlie's ear, "Just a little peck, Mr. Wade? The fans are so enthusiastic, and we might not get away with it if we don't do this…"She sounded humble and pleading—she promised not to kiss him without asking, but surely she could ask for consent?If he said yes, it was good.If he said no, she wouldn't force it.It was even understandable to ask with so many fans having her back, and it was just up to Charlie if he wanted to play along.Charlie himself felt like he had a target painted on his back—these fans shouldn't be that enabling!Surely most fans didn't want their idols to date or flirt with someone else, but Tanya's fans wanted a show instead?!But come to think of it, it wasn't all that weird either—the first thing people thought of when it came to Tanya was her rich relationship history. Aside from her songs, her fans loved shipping her with men and watching her flirt even on stage, which seemed to inter

    Charlie was even keen to miss the second concert—he wanted Quinn and Tanya to change to another dancer, but both women protested fervently.Quinn argued that no one else would be able to replicate Charlie's impressive swordplay. At the same time, Tanya knew full well that he was still bothered when she stepped out of line last night.As such, she said earnestly, "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. I won't do it again…"Seeing that Tanya was sincere and decided that he would look petty if he kept refusing, he nodded and said, "Well, that' s a deal. No more PDA in the next concerts."Delighted, Tanya nodded and promised, "Won't happen, don't worry. My manager gave me an earful yesterday…"Seeing Charlie's skeptical reaction, Quinn clasped a palm to hide her giggle. "So you're really that shy about it."Then, hugging Tanya's arm, she joked, "I've never seen Charlie that nervous about anything. I guess your passion and liberal side really scared him."Charlie rolled his eyes at her, complaining

    Charlie was nervous for once, not at all sure he wanted to answer the video call.However, he was out of town and alone, so Claire might inevitably think the worst.After thinking about it for a while, he answered in the end, and quickly saw Claire's pretty face that would put the moon to shame.Seeing Charlie's surroundings in surprise, Claire asked, "Where are you, dear? It doesn't look like a hotel…"Charlie chuckled, having thought of an excuse just a moment ago. "It's an old villa arranged by Mr. Cameron.""Mr. Cameron? Who?" Claire asked."Isaac Cameron, who used to manage Aurous Hill's Shangri-La," Charlie chuckled. "He's got promoted to the main branch in Eastcliff, and played host to me when he heard I was coming."Claire nodded.It made sense, as she had read on the news that Tanya and her crew were staying at Eastcliff's Shangri-la.Moreover, the fact that he wasn't staying in the same hotel as Tanya meant less of a chance for an affair… Still, she couldn't help h

    After Charlie sent Quinn home and returned alone to the Wades' residence, what happened at the concert tonight had spread all over foreign media.Even in local hot keywords, at least eight out of ten trending posts were talking about, half of which had to do with Charlie.[Tanya's passionate kiss with a dancer!][Who's the mysterious dancer?][The internet hunts for clues on the mysterious dancer!][Oskian swordcraft looks so cool!]At that moment, Charlie felt regret.If he knew Tanya's concert had such an enormous influence, he would definitely not agree to Tanya and Quinn's request to be a dancer.Just from those trending posts, he felt like he was suddenly the target of every paparazzi and celebrity chaser, which went against his usual low-profile approach.-Meanwhile, Claire had also seen the trending posts in Aurous Hill.She liked Tanya in the first place and was more or less personally acquainted with her.Most importantly, her husband was working with Tanya's crew

    Tanya nodded and asked, "Do you both have plans in two days? We'd be taking a break, and I'd like to visit Eastcliff, whether it's taking in the scenery or checking out historical sites."Quinn smiled. "You'd have to take dozens of bodyguards with you, since the fans will be crowding out any place you pick."Tanya asked, "I could put on a disguise?""Still no," Quinn replied, shaking her head. "You already stand out as a foreigner, and your fans most definitely could tell it's you even if you covered yourself from head to toe.""Well, what should we do?" Tanya sighed in disappointment. "I'd really like to sightsee…""Sure you can, you just have to strut," Quinn smiled again. "But that means no secrecy. I definitely can join you, but not Charlie."Charlie nodded. "You two can go walk around, take in the sights. Tanya can also show foreign fans what Oskia is really like, making things more lively."Tanya remained puzzled. "Why can't you join us? You're part of the crew."Charlie

    Tanya promptly pressed, "You did? What did you say?"Her manager sighed. "I could only say that you love the song and you were drawn in by the plot—that as a professional singer, you invest yourself too much into it.""But I don't like it that much," Tanya quietly said. "It's not as good as the ones I write myself."Her manager could only purse her lips awkwardly. Unlike Quinn who wasn't born into music, Tanya could write her own songs—virtually all her songs were all her own creative work.And creative singers like her usually wouldn't like the songs of other singers, not to mention that Tanya's creative prowess was world-class.Knowing her diva side, her manager whispered as she reasoned, "That's the best explanation right now, or you'd get canceled if it grows into a scandal. Don't forget that you have a boyfriend, and it looks to everyone you two have been going strong for a while."Tanya waved it off, replying in annoyance, "I get it, let's just leave it at that.

    Cadfan understood very well in his heart.The only person who could stop that mysterious top master right now was his own granddaughter, Sophie.He said to Arrington and Henderson, “If Sophie is willing to put in a good word for me, she can certainly make that person give up or delay the thought of hu

    Charlie snorted before he said indifferently, “So, that’s the case.”As he spoke of this, he then asked Yaron curiously, “By the way, there is a problem that I cannot seem to understand no matter how much I think about it. Can I ask you for some advice?”Yaron grunted, “Go ahead!”Charlie laughed and s
