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 7142

    Hank and the cabal were completely deflated at that point.With Charlie having controlled their wealth, reputation, and their goddamn phallus, they would lose all three if they so much as slipped up.At this point, what good was stubborn resistance?Since their hedonistic pursuits were now denied, they could redirect their enthusiasm to more mundane pursuits. If they had excess energy, they could invest or manage their business, perhaps rising to the next level.It was far better than screwing with Julien, getting exposed, or being kept impotent.As they finally caved in, Hank asked, "Mr. Wade… will our troubles end if we transfer the money in two days?"Charlie spread his hands. "The agreement is for you to prepare the money, and then I'll have the right man to manage it. What you did at that island won't be exposed for now, and I won't press the issue of putting a bounty on Tanya as well… As for your virility, it will be restored after you pay up."Curious, Julien asked just t

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7141

    If they didn't agree to Charlie's demands and he refused to cure them, the dinner would once again end on a sour note, and they would lose their meaning of life.As such, they were all trading looks, unsure what their next step was.Julien chuckled cooly right then. "You people don't use your brains much, do you? If you take Mr. Wade's deal and refrain from keeping your strange pursuits, you'd still retain your potency and at least retain a taste of mundane pleasures. Refuse him, and you won't even have that… Are you really fine with that?"His words were a wake-up call for the cabal.When it came to keeping their potency or losing it, it went without saying that the former was way more ideal.While that would cost them a billion bucks, they had already earned enough for several lifetimes. And what was the point of wealth if they were denied carnal pleasure in turn?Trading knowing looks, Hank then spoke up, "Deal!"Charlie smirked. "Are you sure? Don't push yourself, okay?"

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7140

    Hank and the cabal were on the verge of a mental breakdown.They just couldn't understand—the things they did on their own private property were their own concern.Why was this Oskian insisting on hounding them?! It made sense if they were a fellow compatriot feeling a sense of righteousness, but Oskia was on the opposite end of the globe. What was that if not an outrageous sense of justice?!But as the leader, Hank was panicking and asked before he knew it, "Mr. Wade? Why do you insist on making things difficult for us? Unlike Mr. Rothschild, we lack ambition and have already made enough money—money we can waste for the rest of our lives."The difference is that we've simply had a taste of what the mundane could never hope to have, and we derive joy in that. What's the point of living if you would deny us even that?"Pursing his lips pleadingly, he continued, "Let's be reasonable about this, alright? There won't be coercion, and anything goes as long as it's consensual—don't yo

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7139

    Once the concert was over, Charlie sent Claire home before heading to Heaven Springs.Claire wasn't worried as Charlie was basically a member of Tanya's crew at this point, and having a meal together after a successful concert was only natural.Tanya arrived at Heaven Springs just as Charlie did, while the cabal were present too.This time, each of them was nervous when they saw Charlie, and he asked when he saw the looks on their faces, "What's up, guys? You don't look as radiant as you did yesterday."Being the representative, Hank cut straight to the chase, "Mr. Wade, may I ask what you did yesterday to affect our potency? Was it poison?""Poison?" Charlie chuckled. "Are you suggesting that there's something capable of castration but is also colorless, painless, tasteless, and doesn't cause any physical reaction at all? Now, that's a miracle if I've ever encountered one."Hank frowned. "So, you're denying it?""Oh, but I'm not," Charlie waved him off. "I did castrate you boys

  • The Charismatic Charlie Wade   Chapter 7138

    After news about those private island escapades and artists' wild parties had gone global, almost every celebrity was suddenly suspected of the same interests.Naturally, that included the Rothschilds—but as the family never really responded to such gossip and rumors, it remained nothing more than speculation.Hank naturally didn't want any trouble for himself, so he chuckled awkwardly, "Please, Mr. Rothschild. There's no reason to get so upset with a bunch of spineless worms like us. We are so insignificant compared to you—""Word of advice? Cut the crap," Julien snorted in disdain. "Pay up for dinner, and I mean both nights. That's 20 million per head, and I'll send the account number later. Your deal with Mr. Wade is your business—I won't intervene.""Oh, okay!" Hank promptly agreed to it.Naturally, he wasn't keen on spending a billion outright, but he could spend 20 million for now and see how things went. After flattering Julien before hanging up, Hank was glowering as he

    The rest of the cabal thought about it and nodded slightly—eliminate the impossible, and whatever remained, however improbable, had to be the truth.Hence, voting Hank as their representative, they contacted Julien.Julien was just hating on them to the bone.He had really thought that everyone would show him, the heir apparent of the Rothschilds, due respect.But as it turned out, those geezers were sick and twisted—so obsessed with their fetish that they were willing to give up on their future.And they had definitely called his bluff.Even as the heir apparent of the Rothschilds, the only threat he posed was enforcing boycotts in business, denying them wealth. So, once the cabal decided that they no longer cared how much money they made, as they had enough to spend for the rest of their lives, Julien was no threat to them at all.As such, he was still seething when he got Hank's call first thing in the morning, and he immediately snapped, "What the fuck are you calling me f
