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!”

    To no surprise, when Loreeen found out that Sachiko was busy, she turned to Charlie and Claire, saying, "Well, guys, I think Sachiko will be busy for a while. We can hang around after the concert and then give her a heads up before we actually leave."Claire smiled and nodded without hesitation, "It's only natural that we do. We're in no hurry anyway, and the hotel is quite near, so we don't have to deal with the crowds even if we wait. With the crowds mostly dispersing and Sachiko finishing up, it's only courteous for us to say goodbye since she got us those tickets."Turning to Charlie, she asked, "Right, Dear?""Sure," Charlie smiled. "You're the boss."At the same time, Kathleen noticed Yoshitaka's intention and smiled too. "Perfect. You guys go ahead and do what you have to. I need to talk to Mr. Mitsui about something myself."She knew Charlie wouldn't want Claire to know too much about his other life. Knowing Yoshitaka, after Charlie had managed to get ten concerts out of

    Naturally, a billion USD as a bounty was absolutely outrageous, leaving the trio gaping.Even they couldn't help wanting to fly to Japan and claim Tanya's head at that moment.Still, the blonde man couldn't help asking, "Isn't that too much for a mere celebrity? A billion-dollar bounty is unheard of, Sir… not even political assassination costs that much.""You don't get it!" The white-haired geezer snapped coolly. "If the dirty laundry of all those bigwigs gets out, you, me, everyone is dead! You are all well aware that Jeffrey was an inside job, and now that the crosshairs are on us, you're still worrying about the money?!"While the trio knew the gravity of the situation, the blonde man still pressed, "But are you sure they will be pleased about Tanya's death? I mean, we might rat them out just like her. If they are really bent on cleaning the house, they won't stop at Tanya, but the rest of us…"The white-haired geezer sighed. "That's exactly why we need Tanya dead, and soon! T

    The white-haired geezer was livid. "If they weren't paid off, that could only mean they're all dead. Aren't they supposed to be elite assassins? And with ninjas working with them, they have a clear advantage—how could they have been stopped?!""Well…"While the trio with him were sweating bullets, the blonde man braced himself and said, "Sir, we don't have the details, so it's all just speculation, but there may be someone who is incredibly strong in Tanya's entourage… or the Mitsui family might have noticed something and doubled her protection. Either way, our people have all gone MIA, and we can only make guesses about what happened."The white-haired geezer bellowed, "I don't want to guess what happened! All I know is that Tanya Sweet must die! The idiots who took interest in her influence and went on to recruit her just had to tell her and show her so many of our dirty secrets just to make her feel like she belonged!"Well, the senator we were all counting on lost, and we know

    Meanwhile, back home, Tanya's bizarre change in behavior had drawn the attention of the president-elect and his party.Even so, Tanya had always been the thorn in their side who was always the most vocal against their election campaign, and they had no idea if she would run her mouth again at her concert in Tokyo.Was she trying to switch sides, or had she been forced to restrain herself after that damning video had gone viral?It was clear that it was still premature to extend an olive branch, and they should just wait and see how things turn out. Otherwise, if Tanya never changed her mind, she would definitely tell the whole world about it, and they would lose way more than they had bargained for.They had already won the election anyway, and strategically speaking, even megastars like Tanya held not much value to the president-elect. With her, they'd have much better PR, while not having her didn't affect them all that much either.If, at this juncture, they were caught by

    Tanya sighed. "I can tell that I've lost, and I stopped my shoutout because I've come to see that it was a mistake. As a public figure worshipped by many, especially minors, I have a duty to be careful with my speech and behavior. Also, I've decided to stop doing shout-outs for any position."Mrs. Sweet groaned in disappointment right then, "Please, Tanya, you're already thirty! Can't you be more mature and cover all corners? You know that supporting minorities is now the staple moral high ground, and as a public figure, you should be actively promoting it!"If you don't, the paparazzi will quickly jump to conclusions that you never agreed to their movement, and the antis will rally to cancel you! Your career will be reduced to nothing!""It's fine, Mom," Tanya assured her. "It's time to take the right perspectives, and I won't mind people attacking me for it."While her mother was worried about her career and potentially shrinking income, she also had no idea Tanya had nearly been
