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 7719

    Soon, there was a reply from a scholar embedded in the White House, detailing the story behind the US military's deployment to Antarctica.Tarlon hurried back to Fleur, and reported, "My lord… The scholar in the White House reports that the US sent their military to Antarctica because Japan suspects their own research crew of collective treason and large-scale illegal exploration on the continent. As they are unable to send their own military to Antarctica to pacify the rogue research crew, they turned to the US for help."Fleur frowned. "There's no doubt about it now—Barlin must have mind-bent the entire Japanese research crew. But why search Antarctica? I sent him to look for providence and rare mystic treasures, but such things are inconspicuous little objects, and whatever gimmicks they use are unnecessary. He must have been on to something… Something so significant that calling it a 'thing' would be an understatement."Tarlon nodded. "As we speak, the US military has subdued mo

    Tarlon's theory actually left Fleur stunned for a moment.She was aware of Barlin heading to the South Pole but not the details, or that there was such a connection.And considering that Barlin commandeered the Japanese research vessel, Fleur was basically sure that Barlin had mind-bent the entire crew of the Japanese Antarctic research vessel to cover his tracks.However, what could he have been doing in the South Pole that would draw the attention of the American military? And from Fleur's perspective, whatever he did threatened her safety and the Qing Eliminating Society's cloak of secrecy.Furious, she growled, "He was gone barely a month, but he already caused such a huge mess? Worst of all, he could have gone anywhere else in the world, but he had to go to some icy wasteland. What is it that draws him there anyway?"Tarlon quickly tried to assure her, "There's no reason to get so upset over this, and there's no point in blaming Elder Barlin now. I believe the priority is t

    After Barlin left, he headed straight to Ushuaia and reached the Antarctic with help from Consul Cicero of the Left Military Governorate.Fleur wasn't all that surprised when told—she was the one who told the three high elders to go search for whatever they could to advance their cultivation, and none of them were aware beforehand if the South Pole offered such opportunities.Fleur was herself going for the unexpected. Otherwise, if they kept doing what she told them to do, they were never going to discover anything new.Even so, never could she have expected that Barlin's trip to the South Pole proved so eventful!At the moment, she still didn't know what was really happening there. The only information she had came from the news reports, which said that American forces had landed overnight with weapons and equipment and had even taken action against the Japanese research crew. Worst of all, she couldn't contact Barlin or know for sure if it was the geezer's fault, which made h

    There was no question that the JMOD minister and the minister of the Japanese Ministry of Science and Cultural Development were both angry at the Americans, but that meant nothing.Against the Americans and their unreasonable demands, they didn't even have the balls to argue. After all, this whole mess wasn't the Americans' responsibility alone. The scandal was a result of military intervention for Japan's rogue research crew, and Japan couldn't claim innocence.It was just that neither side could agree on how much responsibility either side was taking.For Japan, it felt like two drivers ending up in a car crash because neither followed the rules, so responsibility had to be shared. And they could bear with their researchers being put through advanced interrogation... if it was kept under wraps. But that cat's out of the bag now, so what would they tell their own people?Mustering his courage, the minister of the Japanese Ministry of Science and Cultural Development spoke, "Mr.

    The agreement in the room was unanimous, so the press secretary continued, "I'll reach the Oval Office in fifteen. Notify every reporter stationed in Washington and have them at the White House press briefing room within the hour. We'll use the extra forty-five minutes to come up with the best possible explanation for the actions exposed in that video.""Yes, ma'am!" Seeing how composed and clear-headed she remained under pressure, everyone seemed to find a sense of direction and confidence.The press secretary then added, "Also call SecDef to come over in twenty—we need to be on the level in the details, including their next steps, whether it's a full withdrawal or remaining at the south pole."And tell him to call the Japanese—the blame will go to them. Whether it's the research station's supervisory agency, the defense establishment, or even the cabinet itself, don't give them any room to refuse." -While the White House made calls, the military was feeling a migraine.They

    As the press secretary rushed to the White House, the news of American military presence in Antarctica and subjecting the Japanese to advanced interrogation had made headlines across the world.Naturally, global interest skyrocketed because it was such a sensational scandal.It was not like the US never got rough, and they were definitely caught red-handed doing worse things than what they did to the Japanese researchers. It was why Guantanamo Bay remained ever infamous, but none of those incidents seized global attention like this one.The main reason is that the situation is simply strange, when Japan-American ties were stronger than even British-American relations, so it really left one baffled that the American military was suddenly caught giving some Japanese a whooping.In addition, America's military presence in the Antarctic meant its warmongering reached even the last place untouched by war. One might even say that the moment they landed, their iron fist had covered the wh

    Charlie smiled slightly when he heard Holden’s voice, and he spoke up, “Lord Harker, there is something that I need you and the rest of the Harker family members to do.”Holden replied firmly, “Master Wade, we have been waiting to serve you and share your burden! Just give us your command if there is

    Rachel was also in a very good mood. She took out red wine and wanted to drink with him too.Rachel sincerely liked Charlie, and she was very satisfied with him. So, the way that she was treating Charlie was no longer as if he was her future son-in-law, but instead, she was simply treating him as if

    “That’s right.” Helen nodded. “Your father could be said to have been very gracious and benevolent toward the Waldron family.”“That’s great!” Sophie said excitedly, “It just so happens that my benefactor is also planning to bring my father up to Mount Wintry so that my father can repent and confess

    When Charlie saw that Albert was teasing Isaac, he could not help but laugh. He suddenly remembered Yule’s advice about Ten Thousand Armies, and he then said emotionally, “Albert, I think you also need to take some time to work on some self-improvements. In the future, I think that you should not be
