Chapter 09

Author: Lord Leaf
For an instant, an abrupt and outlandish thought appeared in Claire’s mind.

The Mr. Wade that Doris mentioned—could he really be her husband, Charlie Wade?

When she processed it again, she found it to be too preposterous.

How could it be!

Charlie was an orphan who grew up in a welfare home!

However, who else in the world would treat her so well besides Charlie?

Thirty million dollars was an extravagant hope, but they gave her sixty million…

She couldn’t help but asked curiously, “Miss Young, may I know if your chairman is Charlie Wade?”

Doris’s heart skipped a beat. The boss had already demanded her to keep his identity secret, only to reveal his last name to the public. She would be blamed if his wife guessed it!

She shook her hands frantically and said, “Miss Wilson, I hope you can drop it. Our chairman is the descendant of a prominent family in Eastcliff. His identity is highly confidential and I have no right to disclose it.”

Claire nodded gently. She composed herself upon the mention of the descendant in Eastcliff.

Charlie was an orphan, he was definitely not a so-called descendant from a prominent family. Indeed, she was overthinking it.

***

Claire still felt a little dizzy and confused when she exited Doris’s office.

She was holding a sixty million dollar contract between Wilson Group and Emgrand Group in her hand.

Everything unfolded like a dream.

As soon as she saw Charlie at the entrance, she rushed to him excitedly and said, “Charlie, I did it! I did it!”

Charlie grinned in his heart and thought, ‘Your husband is the owner of Emgrand Group, of course you’d get the deal.’

However, he pretended to be surprised and said, “Wow! You managed to strike the deal for such a tough project! Dear, you’re so incredible!”

“Not really, it’s not that I’m good at it, but it seems that they had given the project to me for free.”

“Huh?” Charlie donned a confused look. “Why do you say that?”

Claire was afraid that Charlie would be jealous if she told him about the chairman’s intention, so she quickly diverted his attention and said, “It’s a long story. Let’s go back to the office now and tell everyone the good news!”

Charlie laughed. “Okay! This time, that b*stard Harold must honor the bet and kneel before me!”

Claire nodded. “Yes! He is always so snobbish and arrogant, let’s give him a taste of his own medicine!”

Truth be told, Claire had her own temperament too. Harold and the rest of the family members had always looked down upon her and her husband, but now that she struck the impossible deal, she intended to tame them to be a little bit more humble.

Ten minutes later, they arrived at Wilson Group.

Everyone was sitting in the conference room, looking strange and peculiar.

They knew that Claire had gone to Emgrand Group early in the morning, but no one believed that she could make it, they were here to make fun of her.

Unexpectedly, she came back way earlier than they anticipated.

When Claire and Charlie entered the conference room, everyone was looking at them with a sneering and sarcastic look.

Harold started ignorantly, “Hey, Claire, you’ve come back in half an hour, huh? You couldn’t even get through their door, am I right? Hahaha!”

Wendy continued, “Claire, you’ve failed in less than an hour. Breaking a world record, I see!”

A gloomy cloud hovered over Lady Wilson’s face. She was annoyed. She knew that the project and Emgrand Group were difficult to tackle, but Claire should at least be serious and determined even if she failed! How could she give up so easily?

Lady Wilson glared at her and growled, “Claire Wilson, you disappoint me.”

Charlie frowned at their reactions.

Could they be more disgusting than this? They were ridiculing and chiding Claire without knowing the results yet!

Especially Harold Wilson, the cocky b*stard! Who did he think he was? How could he be so pompous? He should be getting ready to kneel before him!

Claire was initially very excited and thrilled, but facing the crowd’s mocking and teasing, the wrath of fury was burning inside her. She furrowed and said, “I’m sorry to let you down, but I’ve struck a deal with Doris Young of Emgrand Group!”

“What? You did it?”

“No! No way! Impossible! You couldn’t even meet Doris Young!”

Everyone recoiled in shock.

“Claire Wilson, do you think we’ll buy it?”

Harold regained his composure, slapped the table and said furiously, “Miss Young of Emgrand Group is a renowned elite in the city, why would she want to meet you? Are you not clear about who you are?”

Facing everyone’s doubts and accusations, Claire retrieved the contract and handed it to Lady Wilson. “This is the contract. Please take a look at it.”

The contract was like a bomb that exploded in the middle of the conference room, sending shock waves across everyone in the room!

Harold still refused to believe it, he shouted loudly, “She must have forged the document! I don’t believe that she can handle Emgrand Group!”

“He’s right!” Wendy added in great dismay. “Who does she think she is to strike a deal with Emgrand? It is a thirty million dollar project! If she can do it, I would’ve already gotten the deal a long time ago!”

Claire sneered. “My cousin, you’re wrong, it’s not thirty million dollars, it’s sixty million!”

“No way!” Wendy grinned. “Sixty million dollars contract? You find it funny to lie like that, don’t you? You think we’re all fools, don’t you? If you say the deal is sixty million, I can tell everyone that I’d get a hundred million dollar contract!”

Harold curled his lips in disdain and said, “Claire, you’re treating Grandma and us like fools!”

He then turned to Lady Wilson and said, “Grandma, this is outrageous! You can’t let her go just like that!”

Lady Wilson was so angry she was gritting her teeth indignantly. She already felt it was feeble to strike a thirty million dollar deal, but Claire came back half an hour later saying that the contract was worth sixty million dollars…

Did the young lady really play her for a fool in front of so many people?

Did she really think that, as the head of the family, she could be bullied like this?

If she didn’t kick the rebellious girl out of her family, how could she control the family in the future?

Furrowing furiously, Lady Wilson slapped the table and shouted, “Claire Wilson! Go to the HR department immediately to proceed with your resignation!”

Claire gaped in extreme bewilderment. Were these people out of their minds? How hard could it be to just flip the contract open and take a look at it?

At this moment, someone shouted abruptly, “D*mn! The official social media account of Emgrang Group has just released a statement! The sixty million dollar contract is real!”

  • 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

    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
