Chapter 06

Author: Lord Leaf
Claire’s announcement sent a shock wave across the room, making everyone gape in extreme surprise!

Everyone thought that Claire must be out of her mind!

It was the worst time to stand under the limelight now! Other than failing miserably, there’s nothing else she could achieve!

Emgrand Group was the largest company in Aurous Hill and the Wilson family was nothing more than an insignificant ant to them! Whoever took the challenge would only end up failing!

Harold couldn’t help but mock sarcastically, “Claire, do you really think you can get a deal from Emgrand Group?”

Wendy continued in the same mocking tone after her brother, “Claire, who do you think you are, what do you think Emgrand Group is? You being so reckless and irrational will only humiliate us, the Wilson family!”

Someone else added, “Wendy is right! If she is kicked out by Emgrand Group, our family will be a laughing stock in Aurous Hill!”

Blood rushed to Claire’s face and she felt her face burning in embarrassment.

Her status in the family had plummeted since she married Charlie. Not only did the family members ignore her and elbow her aside but they also derided her parents.

She felt that if she could strike that deal with Emgrand Group, she could consolidate her position in the family.

The most important thing was that her parents could also stand up tall and be proud of who they were.

But under the sarcastic comments and condemnation, she wanted to withdraw herself from her silly idea.

She glared at Charlie in annoyance. How did he bewitch her and why did she listen to him? She shouldn’t have made such a silly suggestion in the first place…

Lady Wilson was very angry as she listened to the audience’s verbal exchanges.

No one dared to accept the task after she asked several times. Now that Claire courageously stood up to take the challenge, these people started ridiculing her!

Lady Wilson had always disliked Claire, but at this moment, she was glad that Claire was at least willing to walk the impossible talk, unlike the rest of the members who were only good at giving her trouble!

Especially her favorite grandson, Harold! He was such a disappointment!

Because of this, Lady Wilson’s attitude towards Claire changed a lot. She said immediately, “Stop your nonsense, you cowards! I’ll pass the task of striking a deal with Emgrand Group to Claire!”

Sheepishly, Claire mumbled, “Don’t worry, Grandma, I’ll try my best.”

Harold puffed a breath from his nose and sneered coldly, “You try your best, and then what? You’ll embarrass us when you fail later!”

Charlie asked in a mocking tone, “Harold Wilson, why do you taunt Claire like that? Do you think that the Wilson family is not qualified to collaborate with Emgrand Group?”

Harold had never expected that the loser Charlie Wade dared to speak up during the family meeting, not to mention in such a high horse manner.

Seeing the fury slowly burning on Lady Wilson’s face, he quickly explained, “No, I don’t mean it like that, I just think it is impossible for Claire to strike the deal! That’s all!”

Charlie laughed in amusement and asked, “What if she succeeds? Should we make a bet?”

Harold grinned coyly. “Okay, let’s bet then! Do you think I’m scared of your little threat? What do you want to bet? Let’s hear you out.”

Charlie said, “If Claire succeeds, you will grovel at my feet and admit that you’re wrong in front of everyone. If she fails, I will grovel at your feet and admit that I’m wrong. What do you think?”

“Hahaha!” Harold laughed out loud. “You’re really digging your own grave, loser! Alright, I’ll take the bet!”

Charlie nodded with satisfaction and uttered, “Everyone, all of you are our witnesses. Whoever goes back on the bet would have his father, mother, grandpa, and grandma die!”

He intentionally emphasized the word ‘grandma’ loudly and clearly, for he didn’t want Harold to break their promise after he lost.

Harold wouldn’t dare to go back on his words after such a statement. If he did repent, he would be cursing his grandmother, Lady Wilson, to die! Lady Wilson would not let him off the hook so easily!

“Okay!” Harold thought that he was on the winning side, but what Harold didn’t know was that he was jumping right into Charlie’s trap. He laughed loudly and said, “Everyone, you’ll be my witness, I’ll wait for you to kneel before me!”

Claire was startled by the entire event that she kept signalling to Charlie with her eyes, but he turned a blind eye to her.

Lady Wilson couldn’t care less about the bet. Her only concern was whether the Wilson Group could take a spot in Emgrand Group’s collaboration list. If the deal was on, she wouldn’t even mind if Harold called Charlie his daddy, let alone kneel before him.

Thus, she said calmly, “Okay, that’s all for today. Claire, you have three days to negotiate and strike the deal. Dismiss!”

***

After returning home, Claire’s parents threw a fist at the young couple.

Claire’s mother, Elaine Wilson, paced the living room agitatedly and said, “Claire, you’re crazy! How could you listen to the loser and accept the task without thinking it through?”

Claire’s father, Jacob Wilson, turned to Charlie and chided, “Charlie, you hopeless loser, you’ve pushed my darling daughter right into the grave this time!”

His face flushed in red as he continued, “If Claire fails this time, she will be elbowed by the rest of the family, and you! You’ll have to bow to Harold like a peasant in front of the whole family! My dignity will be ruined!”

Charlie said earnestly, “Dad, Mom, everything will be alright if Claire succeeds in the negotiation and strikes the deal, am I right?”

“Negotiate my a*s!” Jacob growled furiously, “Do you have any idea how powerful Emgrand Group is? They won’t even bat an eye at the mediocre Wilson family!”

Charlie said with a smile, “Maybe someone will bat an eye at us, you don’t know that. Honestly, I have confidence in Claire, I think Claire will strike the deal easily.”

Elaine sneered scornfully. “You think? Who are you, do you think you are the owner of Emgrand Group? You are nothing but a loser, a piece of trash, how do you dare be so ignorant and confident?”

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 6750

    While Charlie was left utterly impressed by the incredible functions of the AI module, Hugo Lidston, dozens of Ten Thousand Armies elites, and dozens of networking computers arrived at the center.Aside from Hugo leading the technicians, there was a four-star warrior who was in charge of security.Seeing Charlie, Hugo hurried to him, greeting him nervously, "H-Hello, Mr. Wade! It seems we meet again!"He was immediately thrilled and cordial, but also nervous since he didn't know who Charlie truly was when they first met. After Charlie had saved his life and revealed who he was, he was instantly respectful and reverent toward the other man.Seeing that he was jittery, Charlie chuckled, "Thanks for traveling all the way here.""Oh, you're always welcome…" Hugo quickly replied.The warrior stepped up just then and saluted Charlie, "Greetings, Mr. Wade! I am Ira Tulsa, head of security for this project. I shall be working with sixty other warriors to keep this place secure!"Charlie

    The app itself provided remote access to the AI module. Once the user cleared the security checks, they could enter an unofficial interface with top clearance over the AI module permissions, providing full access to all its processing capacity.There were eight individuals who had the same app aside from Charlie—Kaeden, Vera, Helena, Merlin, Yolden Hart, Hugo, and Porter.It was only natural for Hugo to have the app, as there could always be emergencies with the nature of the Ten Thousand Armies' work.As for Yolden, he was the CEO of Curtis Autos, and an AI support was necessary for Curtis Autos to develop their very own automobiles. If necessary, Charlie would open a link between the Curtis Autos server to the AI module, giving drivers a taste of the AI module's incredible processing capacity.Naturally, Charlie wouldn't want everyone to know about the AI module, so the plan was for Curtis Autos to build a dummy. With the internet and new energy automotives embracing AI and creat

    For the Norwegian Royal Family and their declining fortunes, thirty billion was more than a small sum.In fact, right after Helena had been crowned, she audited the royal family's finances and found out that they were just worth a billion US dollars, and that was counting in most of their real estate that couldn't be sold.With thirty billion, their capital would have multiplied by thirty times in an instant, not to mention they were talking about cash, not real estate.While it was the ideal trade for them, Helena wasn't actually prepared for Harrison to come through.Still, Charlie was determined, and she knew that since he had spoken so much, excuses could alienate him.She was even willing to give herself to Charlie or anoint him as king, so going against Charlie was something she would never do.After much thought, she ultimately decided to take the money.Nodding gratefully at Charlie, she exclaimed, "Mr. Wade, allow me to thank you for your generosity on behalf of the Nor

    Helena nodded respectfully. "Yes, Mr. Wade. By the way, since I didn't wire you the money from the last pill transaction, I can wire everything at once this time.""How much did you make from the last transaction?" Charlie asked.Helena became flustered since she had to lie, and she had to compose herself for a moment before answering, "That would be 110 billion dollars. As we agreed for a fifty-fifty split, I'll wire you 55 billion..."Charlie smiled before she could finish. "See, Helena—I asked you to be my proxy because I don't actually want to partner with the Rothschilds for the time being. That's not the same as staying away from them entirely, and I know Harrison will eventually tell me the truth when we meet and he's made to understand I hold his life in my grasp."Even more flustered just then, Helena quickly said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wade… It's not that much…"Sighing, she quickly explained, "Harrison and I agreed on sixty billion and the AI module. I just thought it's too m

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 6746

    While Charlie did not have concrete proof that the three elders from the Elder Council of the Qing Eliminating Society were waiting for him in Nigeria, his instincts told him that they were there.After all, Fleur would have understood that she faced an unknown but formidable adversary after losing the Four Great Earls. At this point, they couldn't afford to split up their forces, but were more likely to concentrate them in one place for a higher chance of victory.In fact, Fleur must hate him to the bone and fantasize about killing him. Otherwise, she wouldn't use an entire base as bait to make sure Charlie would have no chance of getting away this time.Charlie even deduced that since the three elders had arrived in Nigeria, they wouldn't be leaving before they got him. So, while they were waiting for him, he would spread Earthnet across Nigeria as fast as possible, after which he would attack a Qing Eliminating Society base in a different country as a misdirection. It definitely

    Early on, Cadfan would spend his time on helicopter rides, taking in the scenery and watching the sunset.But in time, everything looked all the same and left him bored—all he could hope for was for his mansion to be finished soon so that he could properly retire.When he landed today, however, his long-serving butler came running with his satellite phone, exclaiming, "Sir! Ms. Sophie called you—she says it's urgent and that you should call her back as soon as you can!"There wasn't even internet connectivity at the ranch, so calls could only be made or received through a satellite phone. It was cumbersome and had a lot fewer functions compared to a smartphone, so Cadfan never carried it around and left it with his butler.Now, hearing that it was urgent, Cadfan promptly took back his phone from his butler, holding it with both hands as he called Sophie. Sophie soon answered, telling him immediately, "I have good news, Gramps!""What is it?" Cadfan asked before he knew it. "Is C
