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!”

    Quinn and Tanya then hugged again, with Tanya holding Quinn close as she whispered into her ear, "Sorry, I just couldn't resist…""Why apologize to me? I'm not Charlie's wife," Quinn giggled, and patted Tanya on the back. "Give 'em a good one. I'm going now!"Touched, Tanya nodded and smiled wistfully, while Quinn moved to the lift, bowing to the fans and waving. "Thank you for your support! Bye!"With that, the lift descended, and Quinn vanished. At the same time, Tanya composed herself, once again committing to the performance as the rhythm of her next song started playing.Meanwhile, Charlie headed straight to the dressing room as well after leaving the stage, having all his makeup removed.After he changed out of his costume as well, he stared at his own reflection in the mirror, more or less exasperated.He really shouldn't have agreed to be a dancer if he knew what was coming—he valued his dignity, and that would vaporize if his identity became known!"That was when he hea

    At that moment, Charlie was speechless.He rarely lost control of any situation or felt helpless, but that was exactly what was happening now.Tanya was forcing the kiss no matter what, and being the man he was, it was fine… but she was not stopping! Who could stand that? Most importantly, they were on stage!This wasn't acceptable in public, and even less so in a stadium filled with thousands of people! After tonight, God knows how many millions would be watching the video—just thinking about that left Charlie dying inside despite his mental fortitude.However, Tanya didn't care.At all.Thousands were watching? Let them—what was the big deal?She was just used to it.

    As squeals rang around the stadium, Tanya held Charlie's hand just like Charlie did, their fingers interlocked as they walked to the front of the stage.The cameras all captured Tanya's face and projected it on the screen, showing her cute shyness as she held her skirt like an embarrassed bride.Tanya had always been bold and charismatic on stage, her fashion scintillating.And yet, she was now a modest maiden—a completely different person from how she was!Holding Charlie's hand, she finished her verse, and Quinn came up as she reached the last line, and they finished it together.With that, the song was supposed to be done, and Quinn would be thanking the fans at the end of her guest performance.Naturally, no one could have expected that once Tanya finished the song, she suddenly stood on her toes and kissed the lips on Charlie's mask!While the mask was solid, it was getting warm after he wore it for minutes.Hence, it felt like there was just a thin layer between his lips

    While the audience was still watching behind-the-scenes videos of Tanya and Quinn rehearsing, Charlie and Quinn had reached the elevator.This time, he would go up the stage with Quinn, clad in full armor, a mask, and a sword in his right hand. Quinn, in her flowing traditional dress, stood by his side, holding his hand with their fingers interlocked.As the prelude of the song began, the crew quickly told them, "Get ready! Going up in three, two, one!"With that, the lift rapidly rose, sending both of them straight onto the stage.At that moment, the huge screens became a backdrop of Mount Solis' paradise-like scenes—a breeze brushing through a clearing filled with flowers and butterflies.Then, Quinn, who never had any celebrity gossip, was suddenly on stage, holding hands with an armor-clad man.Many Oskian fans familiar with her were hence surprised, as Quinn had never even been linked to any relationship speculation, but now there she was, clad in a traditional dress, hold

    Having no choice, Tanya could only fight back the blazing impulse in her heart, and soon redirected her focus on sharing the stage with Charlie.She suddenly had a bold thought—using her performance as an excuse, she could declare her love for Charlie in front of thousands of fans in this stadium, and even across the globe!Charlie was himself not worried about Tanya, his eyes glued to Quinn on the stage who was completely focused on singing.Even as he watched, he couldn't help but be impressed by Quinn's performance, as she always did, especially in front of Tanya's fans, an international superstar. The composure to neither overperform nor underperform definitely set her apart from the rest.At that moment, Charlie couldn't help seeing Quinn as more than his baby sister, but a strong, independent woman who was one in a million.Beside him, Tanya couldn't help being envious. She could see that while Charlie was good to his wife, he also spoiled Quinn rotten and she had an impor

    The atmosphere in the concert hall was charged—having two top artists from two different ends of the earth was as unprecedented as it was delightful.When they finished their duet, Tanya took Quinn's hand as they walked together center stage and bowed to the crowd.Smiling, she said, "Now, I'm leaving you with Quinn—do enjoy her charming songs."With that, she gave Quinn a quick hug, and walked to the elevator which brought her below stage, while the dozens of thousands of fans applauded.While Quinn started singing her first solo song that night, Tanya reached the bottom beneath the stage and her crew promptly flocked around her.They were all sweating buckets because of the opening blunder, especially the technical crew responsible, unsure of what Tanya would do to them.The stage director and the prop manager were the first there, watching her nervously and guiltily.The stage director then said, "Sorry, Ms. Sweet—it was my oversight and I didn't catch the issue before it hap
