Chapter 11

Penulis: 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!”

    With that, the cabal was suddenly on their feet, motionless and silent.As Charlie and Julien sat down alongside Tanya, Charlie looked around and said, "Thank you all for traveling halfway around the world to Oskia, both to celebrate Tanya's success and to bring prestige to my friend's restaurant."The cabal was dumbstruck.Who on earth was his friend?Charlie, however, did not care if they were keeping up.Stretching his back and reclining against his seat, he spoke, "I think I recognize a couple of you, so I guess you're a big deal back home. Which makes me curious—what's the issue with living a normal life? Why pursue such eccentricities?"The question was so blunt that no one could answer it.After all, the things that had transpired on that private island were so unspeakable that they had been cleaning house, with witnesses and accomplices alike eliminated one after the other if they showed signs of ratting out the rest of them. One of them, who was an important man like Ma

    To most members of the cabal, Tanya was a familiar face, but they had never seen her this cold.For her part, she ignored their nervous stares, keeping a poker face as she continued eating.Some of the cabal members then turned to Julien.They had traveled all the way here to Oskia because of him—or rather, because of his potential threat.And yet, while they had been presuming Julien had been the one who saved Tanya's life, that didn't really seem to be the case right now…Even as they started conferring amongst each other, one of them asked Julian nervously, "Mr. Rothschild, would you mind telling us why we're here?"Julien growled coldly, "Did you not hear Ms. Sweet? Eat. Anything else can wait."That just left the cabal even more flustered.With nothing making sense, how could they find the peace of mind to eat?After all, they had all been very eager to have Tanya killed—especially Matt, who had spent a billion just to put a bounty on her head.Naturally, now that she wa

    They had to walk a few hundred yards before finally finding a rental bike, which they rode home together.Along the way, Claire asked Charlie, "Are you going to Heaven Springs later?"Charlie nodded. "I think Tanya invited some Curtis Autos executives for more Feng Shui follow-ups. Let's get you home, then I'll drive there."Clarie told him, "It's fine. You can just head over. I can go home on my own.""No way!" Charlie protested without hesitation. "I need to send you home myself to have peace of mind, and whatever preamble they have has nothing to do with me, anyway. No reason to get there too early.""Alright," Claire nodded quietly and didn't press the issue.-Meanwhile, the cabal of elites who had traveled from America arrived at the Diamond Room of Heaven Springs, taking their seats gingerly.Julian was there with his newly adopted lackey, Matt, while Tanya had yet to arrive.Upon seeing Matt's face, the entire cabal realized that they were not getting away with anythin

    Nonetheless, Tanya was truly the peak of showbiz—her concert was yet another unprecedented success.She held her enthusiasm steady, and so went the entire concert without blunder, her pitch as perfect as if her voice was in the recording booth.Her manager was also prepared, making sure to record the performance live for a Blu-ray album that would sell like hot cakes.Claire was standing just behind the stage, thrilled to watch Tanya sing and dance for over three hours. Her assistants were always ready to change her costumes and repair her makeup quickly, as if it were a F1 pit stop, and somehow, Tanya didn't look tired at all throughout the performance.Then, even after the planned song list was finished, she encored with an extra song amidst the cheers of thousands.For the fans, it was definitely a concert to be remembered through the ages, and Aurous Hill Olympic Centre lit up in myriad lights when it ended. Her best songs kept playing on the radio even as the fans started t

    It wasn't to say that Tanya wasn't truly giving her all for other concerts, but this was an above-par performance.Her manager was definitely thrilled, hopping beside Trevor as she exclaimed, "She's really in the zone! I've never seen her get into the mood this fast and flawlessly… Heck, this might be her best performance ever!"After all, it was as if she had taken her performance to the next level, and it was a miracle for an artist who had already stood at the peak for so many years.From Tanya's manager's perspective, it was as if Tanya had managed to break the record for fastest sprinter after it had been set years ago!On the other hand, Trevor was having mixed feelings—even if Tanya's manager had no idea what had driven Tanya to bring out such an amazing performance, he knew all too well that it was because Charlie Wade was right there, on the other side of the stage.Still, seeing Claire right there with Charlie offered Trevor some peace of mind.After all, while he had n

    Charlie had already been shocked by the scale and setup of Tanya's concert back in Tokyo Dome, so it really shocked him that the passion of fans at the Aurous Hill concert was somehow even greater!The thousands of fans seemed to have lost their minds, screaming and hollering—even their sobs were deafening.Charlie and Claire were at the tail end of the T-shaped stage, watching the entire concert hall from the rear as the Sweetlets were unbelievably passionate.The fans were either wearing glowing bracelets or holding glowsticks, which seemed to flash sequentially in synchrony as if controlled.And thousands were wearing or waving them, so it was a truly breathtaking sight.Despite all that, Tanya's performance was just as breathtaking!The instant she took the stage, she was bursting with energy as she danced and sang with all her heart, even running the T-shaped stage, which must stretch up to a hundred yards.However, she didn't go out of breath from the strenuous movement, a
