Chapter 10

Author: Lord Leaf
Everyone was stunned upon the sudden roar.

Everyone hurriedly took out their phones and searched for Emgrand Group’s official social media account!

Indeed!

The certified official account of Emgrand Group had posted the latest statement!

A shock wave swept the conference room as the post was announced!

Claire really did strike the deal! With twice the intended total value!

It only took half an hour!

How was it possible? How was it so easy?

It didn’t make any sense!

Harold was feeling shocked and regretted!

Before today, Claire Wilson was incomparable to himself in terms of status or identity.

If he had accepted the task yesterday, he would not give Claire a chance to shine herself regardless of the results!

Yet, he refused because he feared that he would fail!

He refused the mission, but the crucial point was that Claire had succeeded!

It was like a loud slap to his face!

Instantly, Lady Wilson picked up the contract excitedly and started reading it. Then, she let out a loud laugh. “Good! Good! Very good! Claire, you’ve done an excellent job!”

After that, she asked, “How did you do it?”

Claire answered, “It is all thanks to Miss Doris Young. She thinks highly of us, the Wilson family.”

Claire wanted to be truthful, but after a second thought, she didn’t even know who the chairman of Emgrand Group was. No one would believe her if she said the truth.

Upon hearing this, Harold felt as if his heart had been stabbed a million times and he wanted to die!

It was no wonder Claire could win the contract!

It turned out that Doris Young of Emgrand Group herself thought highly of the Wilson family!

Did it mean that it wouldn’t have mattered who had gone, after all?

He berated himself for missing such a great opportunity!

At this moment, Charlie spoke, “Harold, do you still remember our bet?”

In an instant, Harold’s face twisted in a disdainful grimace.

How could he forget about the bet? Whoever lost the bet must grovel at the other party’s feet.

Claire had won the contract, so it was obvious that he had lost…

‘No! No way! How can I grovel at that loser’s feet! Over my dead body!’

He gritted his teeth and sneered. “Charlie Wade, who the h*ll do you think you are? You are just a useless toyboy who married into our family! Do you expect me to bow before you?”

Charlie said flatly, “Yes, indeed, I’m a useless toyboy, but remember, we took an oath yesterday. Whoever breaks their promise would have his mother, father, grandpa, and grandma die!”

Again, he deliberately emphasized the word ‘grandma’.

Sure enough, a layer of black covered Lady Wilson’s face!

She glared at Harold and asked coldly, “What about it? Do you really want me to die?”

Harold panicked and blurted, “Grandma, don’t fall for his trick! He just wants to humiliate me and to deride you!”

Charlie said calmly, “Harold, don’t you try to fool Grandma now. Don’t forget that you’ve made a vow. If you go against it, you’ll be condemned. Do you want to curse Grandma?”

“Grandma, we were just joking, you can’t take it seriously!”

Lady Wilson wore an inexpressive look on her face and said, “You know that I’m a devoted Buddhist. How dare you break the promise after swearing to God?!”

“Grandma…”

Harold genuinely panicked now, because it was clear that his grandma was really angry!

Seeing Harold’s reluctance in keeping his promise that involved herself to save his face, Lady Wilson slapped the table fiercely and yelled, “Are you determined to break your oath now?”

“Grandma, I…” Harold stuttered hesitantly. In his mind, he made a quick deduction.

If he abided by the betting rule and admitted his defeat to Charlie, he would lose face.

But if he went against the bet and enraged his grandma, he would lose everything he had in the Wilson family! He would lose more than his face!

No matter how reluctant he was, he gritted his teeth and muttered, “Alright! I’ll keep my promise!”

Charlie glanced at him quietly with a smile, waiting for him to come and kneel before him.

Harold felt as if his legs were filled with lead. He strode slowly and with difficulty as he moved towards Charlie.

He was so agitated that his whole body was shivering, clenching his teeth annoyingly. But then, his legs went jelly and he knelt on the ground.

Thump!

Some of the busybody onlookers even quietly retrieved their phones and aimed it at them.

Harold bowed his head and said with a loud yet trembling voice, “I’m sorry!”

Then, he leaned over and knocked his head against the floor.

Charlie uttered, “What did you say? I can’t hear you, speak louder and clearer.”

Enduring the humiliation, Harold bowed his head again and shouted, “I’m sorry!”

Charlie sneered, “Oh, you’re sorry. What are you sorry for?”

Inside Harold, he wanted to kill and shred Charlie into a million pieces, but there was still one last bow.

Thus, he bit his lips and said, “I shouldn’t have doubted Claire’s ability…”

Another bow to the floor!

Charlie felt a dash of spring breeze surging through his body!

He had been holding a grudge against Harold for a long time. Now that he had the opportunity to make Harold kneel on the floor like a dog and admit his mistakes, he felt so refreshed and excited!

Claire’s eyes widened in astonishment as she watched the entire event unfolding, suddenly feeling that her husband was different from before!

However, she couldn’t really tell what the difference was.

When she recalled the confident look on Charlie’s face when he had made the bet with Harold yesterday, she couldn’t help but wonder if he had already known that she would succeed.

Where and why did he have such strong confidence all of a sudden?

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 6759

    Harrison hesitated for a moment. However, as Helena was basically saying what he was thinking, he decided to dispense with idle conversation and nodded respectfully, "I'd never lie to you, Your Majesty. I'm old, but I still came all the way here to oversee the AI module handover because I really want that miraculous pill."Pausing to catch his breath, he then continued, "And now, the handover is complete. Rest assured, the module is equipped with the best and newest chips NVIDIA has to offer. Just the other day, the video processing should be enough to prove that it's a far cry from the other AI software available to the general public these days."Even if they can make their stuff look real, the flaws and inconsistencies are as clear as movie CGI these days. On the contrary, our AI module's processed video looks absolutely real, and as long as you don't ask for anything absurd, not even experts could tell a thing."Helena nodded quietly, as Harrison was right—those online AI soft

    It was only then that Charlie made a serious face and told Helena, "You need to be sharp instead of hesitating at every turn. Just do as I say without hesitation."Helena's heart skipped a beat as she was reminded of the time Charlie had lost consciousness while she lay naked beside him.It was because she wasn't determined at that moment that nothing ever happened in the end.Regret swelled in her mind, leaving her with a mix of emotions as she sighed inwardly, and she thought to herself that if she had been more determined, as Charlie had said…Still, she was looking downward at the pill she was holding before she knew it. When she looked up again, her expression and tone were determined. "Don't worry, Mr. Wade. I'll never hesitate again and be determined to see things through to the end."Charlie had no idea what she was actually thinking, and he nodded with a contented smile. "You are a queen who stands above millions. Being determined is a necessary virtue, and you need to

    Helena and the Rothschilds were almost done with dinner when Charlie and Vera returned to the palace.Merlin and Kaeden had remained at the data center, with Merlin working with the technicians to set up complex algorithms.Once the algorithm was done, the AI module would start gathering data from across the globe, filtering and listing all places that could possibly be dead soldier bases, decreasing the area they needed to search.Charlie wasn't tech-savvy enough to work on complex processes or algorithms, and so, he left it in the hands of experts.Since he had also arranged for others to handle the vending machine plans, he would soon be extending Earthnet with those vending machines throughout the world. With copious volumes of data uploaded to the AI module, finding Fleur Griffin was just a matter of time.In fact, they wouldn't just be gaining information on Fleur's location—they would gather further intel and details they could use against the Qing Eliminating Society.As

    Julien was left exasperated, but he couldn't argue. "Yes, Father. I'll do as you say."Just then, Lady Eliza and an elegantly dressed Helena entered.Both Julien and Harrison stopped talking and stood up as Helena glided toward them gracefully with a faint smile, "It's alright. Please, sit."As both men sat, Harrison couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, may I ask if there's anything that I can help with, now that the handover is complete? Please, you can ask for anything. Once it's all done, I'll be dropping by New York before returning to discuss our future investments."While Harrison was skirting around the most important subject, Helena naturally read between the lines—all Harrison wanted was for her to hold up her end of her bargain as soon as possible so that he could return to New York soon.Smiling, she said, "Well, there's nothing that needs your attention right now. You should return to New York tomorrow if it's urgent."Harrison was at first delighted since that meant

    Meanwhile, Helena had invited both Harrison and Julien to her palace once more.In truth, Harrison couldn't wait at all. With the handover of the AI module complete, it was time for Helena to hold up her end of the bargain and sell him half of one Healing Pill.And this invite might mean just that.Still, he wasn't entirely sure if that was the case, as he and Helena had agreed not to mention the pill around Julien. It was hardly good timing, even if she was going to hand it over in the evening!On the other hand, Julien was completely uninterested in the palace at this point. All he wanted was to return to New York and pack for Oskia, so he was completely distracted during the dinner.Still, Helena called Charlie before they met, asking, "I'll be having dinner with the Rothstchilds again, so can I ask when I should hand over the pill? I'll be vague if you intend to delay him."Charlie smiled. "Just make sure he eats his dinner, and I'll drop by later to pass you the pill as well

    Hugo nodded, "Yes, in theory—because the Earth is round, the best satellite angles are from vertical shots. But that also means each satellite has limited coverage, and you'll need enough satellites to cover the globe."It's like trying to envelope the world in a ball of thread to cover every inch of the world, with one satellite passing through orbit every few dozen seconds. Of course, the orbit will extend if you don't have enough satellites."Charlie then asked, "In that case, how many satellites do we need to cover one place in a day?""Two to five with technology maturity," Hugo replied. "Most civilian enterprises in the States have that capacity, and some of the best can cover a target area up to eight times a day. That means the satellite can orbit that area every three hours per day if necessary.""How much are companies like that worth? Are they purchasable?" Charlie asked.Hugo thought about it. "Around three to four billion, if memory serves… but it's troublesome since
