Chapter 11

Autor: 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 7281

    As Claire didn't answer, Stephen continued, "And what if I told you that the enemy's dead soldiers are stationed everywhere across the world, hiding in places that no one would ever think to find? That they are ready to kill—even if it means getting killed in return? Do you still think the law can protect Master Charlie?"And what if I told you that the enemy is an endlessly sadistic demon who lived four hundred years strong, whose mystical powers stand above the rest of the world? Do you still think the law can protect Master Charlie?"Claire blurted in shock, "T-That's impossible! This is the real world, not some fantasy! No one could live for four hundred years, or wield mystical powers!"Pausing, her expression cooled as it soon occurred to her, and she said solemnly, "You can be frank if you believe that I don't deserve Charlie, or it's Charlie who thinks that. I can leave anytime you need without dragging my feet, so don't you think it's ironic you'd use such excuses to beguil

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7280

    Claire felt like her world just turned upside down.Never could she have expected that Charlie wasn't just the heir to the Wades of Eastcliff, that he was born into such devastating tragedy and conspiracy.The Wades of Eastcliff were already amongst the strongest families in Oskia, while Charlie's own parents were the most famous Oskian prodigies in the world. However, even they couldn't survive against the enemies who lurked in the shadows, and were forced to send Charlie to an orphanage, burying his identity to keep him safe.At that point, one must consider how terrible Curtis Wade and Ashley Acker's enemies were.Knowing that, Claire couldn't care less to nitpick on the many lies Charlie told her, and asked worriedly, "Is that syndicate still after Charlie now?""Yes!" Stephen nodded repeatedly, his tone solemn. "If they know that he's alive, they will hunt him down however they can!"Claire balled her knuckles before she knew it in rage. "How could they bear so much animosit

    Curious, Stephen asked, "Have you met your husband at that time?""Yes," Claire nodded. "Charlie used to work for my grandfather in his construction projects, and my grandfather took a liking to him, and introduced us. He even sponsored Charlie to study in the same college as myself, and was really insistent that I marry him after we graduated. No one could say no."Stephen smiled and asked, "Do you know why?"Claire drew a blank. "I'm not sure… Maybe my grandfather admires him a lot? He never told me the reason, only that I'd lose nothing marrying Charlie."Stephen smiled and nodded. "Your grandfather was Dylan Wilson, if I remember right? His parents had high hopes for him to lead them out of poverty to a life of riches, I believe?"Claire was taken aback. "H-How'd you know?"Stephen smiled and answered her question with a question. "Do you know how he made a living in his younger days?"Claire thought about it. "It's alleged that he was a slave for a really rich family, who t

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7278

    Claire's stomach was churning.If Charlie really was the heir to the Wades of Eastcliff, a lot of questions in her mind could be answered.For example, why would Doris Young of Emgrand Group treat her like royalty, or think so highly of her at all?She never understood it, but if she presumed that Charlie was the heir to the Wades of Eastcliff, it all made sense.Once Charlie claimed his birthright, Doris would be nothing more than his employee.And as Charlie's wife, it was natural that Doris would afford her such special privilege.There was also the question of why Zeke White would give Charlie a villa in Thompson First, where she and her family resided now. And afterward, just consulting Charlie about Feng Shui would cost upward of millions of Oskian dollars, while their villa was worth upward of a few hundred million.Moreover, there was Shangri-La, the chain of superluxurious five-star hotels, owned by the Wades.Claire then remembered how Charlie rented their hanging gar

    Even as Claire finished, her heart skipped a beat as she mused to herself.Emgrand Group, the Wades, and Charlie Wade… could there be some connection between them?She then remembered her own family having troubles when news spread that Emgrand Group was changing hands. At the time, her grandmother was intent on securing a project with Emgrand, and sent Claire herself as a representative. She didn't know what to do and thought they stood no chance. And yet, to her surprise, Doris Young, the vice chairwoman of Emgrand, had been very approving of her. Not only had Doris awarded Claire the contract, she had even attended the Wilson family's press conference in person.At the time, Claire just couldn't understand what merited such privilege, but it all makes sense if Charlie was indeed connected to the Wades…Getting nervous, she looked up at Jeevika and asked, "Master Jeevika… Are you suggesting that my husband is a member of the Wade family?"Jeevika never answered, instead co

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7276

    The fog over the truth shall fade!Jeevika's words really struck a chord with Claire.When it came to those questions in her mind, she would never ask them if Charlie didn't volunteer the information, and certainly no third party would answer them.That was why she always kept those questions buried, and used Charlie's logic to reassure herself from time to time.But when Jeevika said 'The fog over the truth shall fade', it felt like a sudden lightning bolt tore through the thick fog clouding the truth, setting a flame to the curiosity she kept repressed.Hence, she looked up enthusiastically at Jeevika. "Please, Master Jeevika. I'd like to know!"Jeevika nodded and said solemnly, "Your husband's destiny is truly one in a billion. That's why he is fated to rise above everyone else in strength and position, worshipped by millions.""Huh…?" Claire frowned. "He's not as impressive as that. He's just had a little success from self-taught Feng Shui, and it's true that major business

    In an instant, all the members of the Order of the Star throughout Hong Kong received a message that they were supposed to look for the whereabouts of Marianne, who was the eldest young lady of the Long family. However, the vast majority of people would not have imagined that Marianne was sitting in

    “That’s fair. That’s fair indeed.” Marianne could not help but repeat herself.Then, she suddenly seemed to figure something out as she said, “Miss Fox, you’re right. It’s not wrong to fall in love with someone else, but it is most important to be open and honest...”Kathleen nodded and smiled as she
