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 6953

    Aurora's former coach had tried to flex on Charlie when he was clearly beneath the latter, and in a decisive match, had offered poor advice that worked against Aurora.Aurora had torn up her contract with that coach after that match and started training.Still, her physique had changed thanks to Charlie's pills, and her skills had also improved drastically with Charlie teaching her mental cultivation methods.She didn't really need a coach, but as a representative of Oskian universities, she had plenty of regulations to follow. Without a coach, a lot of things were cumbersome, so she had decided on her current coach, who was compatible with her.While being called a coach, Coach Williams was more of an assistant, as she really couldn't offer any good advice in tactics or strategy. Still, she could get along very well with Aurora despite being a mere figurehead coach.With Aurora winning again, her fame would increase, and she could charge even more for her lessons. It used to be a

    Aurora's coach leapt on stage and they hugged each other, and a crowd soon followed, while Heidi's team had to quietly get on stage to whisk her out of the ring.Still, Aurora's eyes were darting around the ring, searching for Charlie.Soon, she found him sitting in the front row and smiling at her.Thrilled, she gave him a big wave as she shouted, "Master Wade! Master Wade!"As their eyes met, Charlie nodded at her and pointed backstage, and Aurora understood right then that they should talk there.There was no way they could talk in the ring, and there was still a men's category match waiting.Aurora was now going to take a break backstage as the awards ceremony would be after the men's final, and everyone would go on stage to receive their prizes.Aurora promptly turned to the coach, smiling, "See that handsome face in the black shirt, sitting in the front row? He's my… uh…"She was suddenly stumped as she really wasn't sure what her connection to Charlie was.A friend? Tha

    Aurora felt her adrenaline pulsating when she heard Charlie, her motivation blazing!Her eyes flashed with the thrill of a hunter cornering his prey as she looked at Heidi again, while Heidi had the wind knocked out of her after Aurora's uppercut.There was no way she was going to regain her composure so soon, and by then, Aurora had already pounced like a bloodthirsty leopard.Heidi tried to dodge, but there was no way her reflexes could beat Aurora as she reached her even before she could steady her footing.Having learnt her lesson, she didn't expose her chest and leaned forward to shield herself while launching an uppercut right up Heidi's jaw.As she shifted to a 45-degree angle to poise herself forward, any opponent quick enough could hold her head and knee her in the face—it was a move rarely seen amongst professionals, but Aurora didn't take that risk into account.After all, she already knew that Heidi was slower than she was, and if she took the first strike, Heidi wasn

    In a normal fight, Aurora would always choose the most strategic reaction if she noticed an opponent attacking her chest.If the punch wouldn't hurt and she could punch back harder on the counter, she wouldn't go out of her way to defend herself. They were all women, anyway, so it was just all fair game—or downright strategic to go for the delicate parts on occasion.But today was clearly different.No matter how much Heidi claimed to be transgender and asserted to have always considered herself a woman, she was a man in Aurora's mind, through and through. So, when Heidi reached out, looking like she was going to cop a feel, Aurora suddenly forgot that she was in a fight. Her inner maiden, reserved and proud, sprang forth, and she instinctively tried to shield her breasts like she would from a pervert.However, it didn't matter to Heidi. Even though Aurora had managed to protect her chest, her entire face was completely exposed, just as she expected.She knew it was impossible f

    Heidi was caught off balance. While this was her first time competing in the women's category, she had researched the other seeded rivals before the actual event.That was especially the case for Aurora, who was the top seed.However, she still cruised to the finals, as the overall strength of the women's fighters was undoubtedly a class beneath that of the men's. That was why she had grown to underestimate even Aurora.Naturally, she had also cross-referenced gender disparity across other events, such as the 100-meter track and field. In that category, the best men's records were under ten seconds, while the top women's record was between ten and eleven seconds. Heidi thought to herself then that she was in the 10.5-second range—while she might not make the finals in the men's division, winning the women's division would be easy.Never could she have expected that Aurora would immediately put her on the back foot, and all her usual skills and strategies proved ineffective. She

    Heidi's aggression drew further jeers, but she clearly had mental fortitude in spades, and the crowd wasn't getting to her, no matter how loud they got.At the same time, Bojo groaned beside Charlie. "I mean, this ain't discrimination or anything, but couldn't they just make another new category if necessary? Let people of the same weight class compete fairly—that's just how it always goes from the very beginning."You can decide who you are, but it's just fair for you to fight your own kind in your own weight class. I mean, isn't sports all about pursuing fairness? It's like I sprained my foot, and suddenly I'm qualified to join in the Paralympics 100-meter dash. "Other Paralympians have to overcome their disability to be able to compete for the honor, yet now, they're suddenly competing against me, who's otherwise a fit, healthy man aside from my sprain. Why would any other healthy athlete even bother to train at that point? Just join the Paralympics and take all the prize money
