Chapter 11

مؤلف: 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!”

    Claire thought she would be the first, but Momo Sun—her most reliable subordinate, had arrived already.Seeing the other woman, she smiled, "What brings you here this early?""Good Morning, Ms. Wilson," Momo smiled in greeting. "Actually, I went to the Qi Temple, hoping to get a health charm for the family… but I got nothing. It's so frustrating!""Got nothing? How?" Claire asked in curiosity. "Were they closed?""Oh, they were open," Momo shrugged. "But I misremembered Master Jeevika's schedule—he's only coming tomorrow, so I went for nothing.""Master Jeevika?" Claire frowned, murmuring. "Actually, I think I've heard of that name before."Momo grinned. "He's quite famous—one of the youngest high monks in the country, whose insight into Buddhism far surpasses most. He has been traveling between every major temple for the past two years, giving sermons and blessing mystic items. And it's said that his charms are special.""Really?" Claire exclaimed in surprise."Of course!" Mom

    Suzanne's words cleared any qualms Stephen had, and he asked her, "So, when do you think I should make contact with Ms. Wilson, talk to her about it?"Suzanne replied, "Jeevika will be arriving at the Qi Temple in two days, first thing in the morning. Madam Wade's instruction was to lure Ms. Wilson over, and then Jeevika will create an opportunity for you both to have a talk.""Jeevika…" Stephen smiled and asked, "He's now a famous monk, I believe?""Yes," Suzanne nodded and sighed. "He's wise in both Tao and Buddhism, and progressed rapidly thanks to Madam Wade's guidance. Even after his initiation into the Buddhist order, he still serves Madam Wade before anyone else.""And how do we lure Ms. Wilson over?" Stephen asked.Suzanne smiled. Are you aware that Ms. Wilson owns a company?""Of course," Stephen nodded. "It was Charlie who encouraged her to start out with her own workshop, with plenty of bigwigs in Aurous Hill heading over to celebrate its opening.""Yes," Suzanne repl

    As Stephen finished, he looked up at the moon, shrouded by clouds up in the air.Taking a deep breath of the dank, cold winter air, he then sighed. 'I'll be honest—I'm not used to the coldness of the south, and I can't help remembering Charlie. During his first winter at the orphanage, he would be curling into himself under his blanket from the cold."The place was simply rundown and didn't have a room heater, and only a single sheet of glass insulated the windows. I really wanted to do something for him, but was worried that it would draw the wrong attention and had to allow him to suffer frostbite for the first time. I was in Eastcliff, only able to weep for him that winter…"Suzanne nodded and sighed. "The orphanage director sent photos of his limbs and ears getting bruised from the cold, and Madam Wade was often crying looking at them. But in hindsight, those hard times were essential for his life. Without it, there's no way he would have become the man he is today."Stephen no

    After taking a few days' break at Aurous Hill, Charlie flew to Gaston down south.With the year-end of the Oskian calendar, the days were becoming colder, so Gaston was a good spot with its warmer climate.Tanya's last stop was in Rochester, and once the last concert was over, he would fly back to Aurous Hill immediately, and boarded a flight to the Maldives with his family.He was starting to feel spent after tagging along with Tanya's tour, and couldn't wait to get some proper rest during the Oskian New Year.It was not physical fatigue either—he just needed to set his mind at ease and unwind.But while he followed Tanya's tour to Gaston, a freighter had berthed in Gaston's East Harbor.It was an Oskian-registered freighter returning home.

    Both women traded glances, nodding at the same time as they put the pill in their mouths.Even before they took it, they could feel the abundant Reiki in the pills that threatened to burst out.Cultivators were always attuned to the presence of Reiki, and the mundane world lacked any they could absorb. That was why their senses were tingling as soon as they touched the pill.Fighting back their excitement, they ingested the pill.In an instant, the pill turned into a stream of warmth, as the abundant Reiki flowed straight into their stomach, and along their meridians to their Sea of Consciousness."They were mentally prepared for the Jumbo Cultivating Pill to be far stronger, but as they melted inside their bodies, they were shocked by the sheer volumes of Reiki.The Jumbo Cultivating Pill must contain a few dozen times the amount of Reiki in a single Mini Cultivating Pill!Pills were supposed to be medicine taken when you're ill. If the dosage is small, the effect would be weak

    "Jumbo Cultivating Pill?!"Both women were left gaping in disbelief.Even if they had taken the Mini Cultivating Pill, Penny had never seen a normal Cultivating Pill, let alone the Jumbo Cultivating Pill.In comparison, Ruby was personally groomed by Fleur and heard her talk about the Cultivating Pill. So she knew that the normal Cultivating Pill was much better than the Mini Cultivating Pill, but also knew full well that she was not getting such a precious pill from Fleur.After all, aside from Fleur herself, only the Three Grand Elders had taken the Cultivating Pill.But now, Charlie had said he was giving them the Jumbo Cultivating Pill?!Just from the name alone, it must be even better than the normal Cultivating Pill, something which they never dare yearn for… let alone the Jumbo!And seeing their shock, Charlie chuckled, "As its name suggests, its better than the normal Cultivating Pill, and helps a lot for your present cultivation."Ruby and Penny were stunned beyond wor
