The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 3
Early the next morning, Charlie finished preparing breakfast and rode his electric scooter to the Emgrand Group.
He parked the scooter in a corner of the Emgrand Group’s parking lot. Just as he locked it up, a black Bentley glided into a parking space across from him.
Casually glancing up, Charlie noticed a young man and woman getting out of the car.
The man was dressed in a high-end suit, looking quite dapper, while the woman was flamboyantly dressed. Though her attire was a bit over the top, she was undeniably beautiful.
To Charlie’s surprise, it was Claire’s cousin, Wendy, accompanied by her fiance, Gerald White, the eldest son of the White family.
Charlie couldn’t quite figure out what Wendy and Gerald were doing at the Emgrand Group, so he decided it was best to avoid them.
However, things took a turn for the worse when Wendy, with her sharp eyes, spotted him and exclaimed loudly, “Oh, brother-in-law!”
Though Wendy called him brother-in-law in a cheerful manner, it gave Charlie a headache as her words echoed in his ears.
Out of politeness, he paused and waited for them to approach, smiling as he greeted, “Wendy, what brings you here?”
Wendy giggled, “Gerald and I are here to visit Doris Young, the Vice Chairman of Emgrand Group!”
She then looked at Gerald with admiration, adding, “Gerald’s Family collaborates a lot with Emgrand Group. This will not only help the White Family but also our Wilson Family.”
Charlie was unaware of the White Family’s connections with Emgrand Group. After all, it had only recently come under his management and he hadn’t yet familiarized himself with it.
He concealed his ignorance with a smile, saying, “Young Master White has truly remarkable poise and capabilities. You both are a wonderful match!”
Gerald White cast a disdainful glance at Charlie, feeling a sense of indignation rising within him.
This pathetic loser had been berated by Lady Wilson just yesterday, yet here he was, grinning as if nothing had happened.
Why would a stunning woman like Claire choose to marry such a loser? If it weren’t for this loser, he would definitely pursue Claire without hesitation instead of being engaged to Wendy, who fell short in every regard.
With these thoughts, Gerald’s mood soured and he deliberately asked, “What are you doing at Emgrand Group, brother-in-law?”
Charlie replied casually, “I’m here looking for a job.”
“Looking for a job?” Gerald scoffed. “You’re a loser who can’t do anything and you still think you can find work at Emgrand Group?”
Charlie frowned, “What does my job search have to do with you?”
Wendy seized the moment to mock him. Seeing Gerald take the lead, she smugly interjected, “What? Is Gerald wrong?
“Do you need a diploma, you loser? You need skills, you imbecile. How can you be a good person?”
“A good person like you wouldn’t even get hired as a security guard at Emgrand Group. Why not consider picking up trash instead? It might earn you a couple thousand a month!”
With that, she tossed the empty drink bottle from her hand onto the ground by Charlie’s feet and sneered, “See, I’m not being unkind. Pick up this bottle and maybe sell it for some cash!”
Gerald chuckled and said, “Even though you’re pathetic, since we’re family, I should at least look out for you. I have some connections with the Vice Chairman of Emgrand Group, do you want me to put in a good word for you about a toilet cleaning job?”
Charlie shot back with a cold smile, “You don’t need to worry about the type of job I’m seeking. You should be more concerned about yourself. Emgrand Group is a significant company. I seriously doubt they’d want to collaborate with someone as lowly as you.”
Furious, Gerald spat, “Who are you calling lowly?”
Charlie retorted with disdain, “You, obviously!”
With that, he lost interest in the confrontation and proceeded into the Emgrand Group Building.
“Hey, stop right there!” Gerald quickly followed him and caught up at the elevator entrance.
He had wanted to teach this Charlie Wade a lesson, perhaps even give him a few slaps to show him the consequences of crossing him.
But seeing that they were already inside the Emgrand Group Building, he feared taking action here might upset his business partners, so he reluctantly shelved his plans for revenge.
Through gritted teeth, he warned, “I’ll let you off today, but next time won’t be so easy!”
Charlie merely snorted, stepping into the elevator as he remarked, “Gerald White, do you honestly think you’re so impressive? You’ll soon learn the cost of your arrogance!”
“Darn you…” Gerald lunged forward, about to storm into the elevator after him.
Wendy pulled him back, rolling her eyes. “Gerald, don’t share an elevator with this kind of loser. You might get sick from his stench.”
Gerald nodded, recognizing he couldn’t fight him here and replied coldly, “Just wait, I’ll make you pay for this next time!”
Charlie rode the elevator straight to the top floor, where the Chairman’s Office was situated.
Stephen Thompson had already arranged his arrival at Emgrand Group. He was to meet a woman named Doris Young.
Doris Young was quite well-known in Aurous Hill. As the most prominent career woman in the city, she was not only beautiful but also highly competent, having risen to the position of Vice Chairman at a young age. Her contributions to Emgrand Group were notable.
Now that the Wade Family had acquired Emgrand Group, the Former Chairman had stepped down, allowing Doris to stay on and assist the new chairman.
When Doris first laid eyes on Charlie, she was taken aback. She hadn’t expected that Mr. Wade, as Stephen Thompson had referred to him, would be so youthful and poised!
Quickly shaking off her surprise, she respectfully said, “Young Master, please come to my office.”

The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 9
At that moment, an extraordinary thought struck Claire’s mind.
Could the Mr. Wade that Doris Young referred to be her husband, Charlie?
However, upon further reflection, she dismissed the idea as too fantastical.
How could that be possible!
Charlie is just an orphan who grew up in an orphanage!
Yet, apart from Charlie, who else in the world could be so generous towards her?
Thirty million is already a tremendous sum, but this person offered sixty million…
Unable to contain her curiosity, Claire asked Doris Young, “Vice President Young, may I inquire if your chairman’s name is Charlie Wade?”
Doris Young’s heart raced. The Young Master had instructed her to keep her identity confidential, so she could only say her surname was Ye. If the young mistress figured it out, wouldn’t she be blamed?
Quickly, she responded, “Ms. Wilson, please refrain from asking further. Our chairman is from a well-known family in Eastcliff. His identity is highly classified, and I cannot disclose it.”
Claire nodded slowly. Doris Young’s mention of a prominent family in Eastcliff brought her back to reality.
Charlie is an orphan. There’s no way he could be from a prestigious family in Eastcliff. It seems she was overthinking things.
……
When Claire emerged from Doris Young’s office, she felt dizzy from the overwhelming events.
In her hand was the cooperation agreement worth 60 million between the Wilson family and Emgrand Group.
It all felt like a dream.
As she approached the entrance of Emgrand Group, Claire spotted Charlie and excitedly ran over, exclaiming, “Charlie, I actually succeeded!”
Charlie couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly. Your husband is the boss of Emgrand Group; how could you not succeed?
But he feigned surprise and said, “You managed to secure such a challenging project? My wife, you’re truly remarkable!”
Claire replied, “Oh, it’s not that I’m so great; it’s almost as if Emgrand Group just handed it to me.”
“Why do you say that?” Charlie asked with deliberate curiosity.
Worried that Charlie might feel jealous if she mentioned the chairman of Emgrand Group, she quickly replied, “Oh, it’s a long story. Let’s head to the company now and share the good news with everyone.”
Charlie laughed and said, “Alright! This time, that jerk Harold has to honor the bet and kneel down to me!”
Claire nodded, adding, “He’s so arrogant and looks down on everyone; it’s about time he learns a lesson!”
In truth, Claire had her own pride. Harold and his associates had belittled her and her husband in every possible way. Now that she had struck a cooperation agreement, she desired for them to show more restraint in the future.
More than ten minutes later, they arrived at the Wilson Group.
Inside the meeting room, the Wilson family members wore peculiar expressions.
Everyone was aware that Claire had gone to Emgrand Group early that morning, but none believed she could pull it off; they were merely waiting to mock her.
They certainly didn’t expect her to return so soon.
As Claire and Charlie entered the conference room, everyone wore a look of derision.
Harold mockingly remarked, “Hey Claire, you’ve only been back for half an hour? You couldn’t even get through the door at Emgrand Group! Hahaha!”
His sister Wendy added sarcastically, “Oh, Claire, failing in less than an hour? That’s a new record, isn’t it?”
Lady Wilson’s expression also darkened. The Emgrand Group project was indeed challenging. Even if Claire had failed in negotiations, her demeanor should have been more cautious. Giving up so easily infuriated her.
With a cold glare, Lady Wilson chastised, “Claire, you have left me incredibly disappointed.”
Charlie immediately frowned upon hearing this.
These people are truly disgusting, right? They don’t even bother asking about the outcome and instead mock her without knowing the reality?
Especially Harold, that pathetic wretch—what are you bragging about? You’ll be kneeling to me later!
Claire had entered with excitement, but the crowd’s ridicule instantly doused her enthusiasm. Angry, she shot back, “I’m sorry to let you all down, but Doris Young from Emgrand Group has already arranged for a project collaboration with me!”
“What? You actually arranged it?”
“Impossible! How could that be true? You can’t even meet Doris Young!”
Everyone was left astounded.
“Claire, do you think we’ll believe you?”
Harold snapped back to reality and banged the table angrily, “Director Young of Emgrand Group is a renowned business elite in the city. How could she have met you? Don’t you know your own place?”
Confronted with the skepticism and accusations, Claire pulled out the contract and handed it to Lady Wilson, saying, “Here’s the project contract from Emgrand Group; please take a look.”
The sight of the contract detonated surprise among everyone present like a bomb!
Harold remained unconvinced, shouting, “This must be a forgery! I won’t believe she could handle Emgrand Group!”
“Exactly!” Wendy chimed in, “How could she possibly secure the contract with Emgrand Group? It’s a 30 million project! If she could, I would have negotiated it long ago!”
Claire smirked, “Cousin, you’re mistaken. This contract isn’t for 30 million; it’s for 60 million!”
“Get out of here!” Wendy scoffed, giggling, “A 60 million contract? You’re so shameless! Do you really think we’re fools? If you can sign for 60 million, then I can negotiate 100 million!”
Harold, with a cold demeanor, added, “Claire, you’re making a mockery of grandma and all of us!”
He then turned to Lady Wilson and insisted, “Grandma! Claire is a traitor! You can’t let her off easily!”
Lady Wilson’s anger flared. She sensed that even a 30 million deal was exceedingly unrealistic. Claire had left for half an hour and returned claiming she had signed for 60 million…
Did she really think she could fool everyone in front of so many people?
Does she believe her position as the head of the family is to be taken lightly?
If she didn’t expel such an unfilial descendant, how could she assert her authority in the family moving forward?
Infuriated, Lady Wilson slammed the table and declared, “Claire! Go to the Human Resources Department and complete your resignation procedures immediately!”
Claire was taken aback. Were these people out of their minds? Shouldn’t they at least open the contract and see it for themselves?
At that moment, someone suddenly shouted, “Oh no! The official WeChat account of Emgrand Group has posted an announcement! The 60 million contract is real!”

The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 37
When Clinton Tucker heard this, he could no longer contain his excitement.
His car was a BMW 540, while Charlie’s was a BMW 520. Even if he pushed the limits, victory seemed impossible.
He actually had the audacity to wager such a large amount with him!
If 30,000 firecrackers were placed in the car and ignited, it would spell disaster for that vehicle. The interior, seats and control panel would likely be obliterated.
Since Charlie was inviting danger, it provided an excellent opportunity for humiliation!
Without a moment’s hesitation, Clinton Tucker nodded and declared, “Everyone, bear witness! I’m racing Charlie to see who can drive faster. The loser will have to put this platter of firecrackers in their car and set them off!”
He continued, “Anyone who backs out or cheats will face dire consequences!”
Several male classmates nearby erupted into chatter. Upon hearing the commotion, students from upstairs rushed out, gathering around in groups of twenty to thirty in eager anticipation of the spectacle.
Everyone believed Charlie was foolish. How could he challenge a 540 with a 520? This was a long, straight road—driving speed had little to do with skill and everything to do with performance.
A 520, no matter how expertly driven, couldn’t possibly outperform a 540!
It seemed that Charlie’s brand-new BMW 520 was destined to be written off!
Claire was also trying to convince Charlie, saying, “Charlie, don’t let him provoke you. He’s doing this on purpose, we shouldn’t compete with him.”
Charlie smiled and replied, “Don’t worry, dear. Your husband is not going to lose.”
Clinton Tucker laughed, “Oh, Charlie, let’s set aside everything else, I admire your courage! Hahaha! Now, let’s skip the small talk and drive to compete directly!”
“Alright,” Charlie said, nodding. “How should we race?”
Clinton Tucker pointed to the intersection at the end of the road and proposed, “We’ll start at the same time. The one who reaches the intersection first and then returns wins. What do you say?”
Charlie smiled and replied, “Sounds good to me!”
“Great!” Clinton Tucker exclaimed excitedly. “Everyone, be a witness, we’re starting the competition right away!”
With that, he hopped into his BMW 540 and headed for the main road.
Ignoring Claire’s protests, Charlie drove his car up beside Clinton Tucker, aligning the fronts of the two vehicles.
At that moment, a nosy student chimed in, “I’ll count down for you!”
“Okay!” Clinton Tucker replied with a grin. “Start when you’re ready!”
Charlie nodded and switched his BMW 760 into sports mode.
The BMW 760 featured a 6.6-liter engine with 585 horsepower.
In contrast, Clinton Tucker’s BMW 540 had a 3.0-liter engine with 340 horsepower.
With half the engine size and 245 horsepower less, the performance gap was colossal!
However, Clinton Tucker had no clue that Charlie’s 520 was actually a top-tier 760, he believed victory was already in his grasp.
The student in charge of the countdown shouted, “Ready! 3, 2, 1!”
As soon as the count finished, Clinton Tucker slammed the accelerator to the floor!
He was confident that Charlie would lose, but he wanted the defeat to be particularly humiliating, so he aimed to drive as fast as possible!
But he was caught off guard when a dark figure zipped past on his right side, quickly leaving him in the dust!
It was Charlie’s BMW 520!
Clinton Tucker could hardly believe his eyes! What the heck! How could this be happening! It was utterly impossible!
His BMW 520 had only 184 horsepower, while his own car boasted 340 horsepower, nearly double! How could Charlie overtake him so effortlessly!?
The onlookers were equally stunned!
No one anticipated that Charlie the one everyone expected to lose would rocket past Clinton Tucker like a bullet, leaving him far behind!
Before Clinton Tucker even made it halfway, Charlie had already turned around at the intersection!
When Clinton Tucker finally attempted to turn around, Charlie was already back at the starting point!
Charlie had won! And he achieved victory by a landslide!
As Clinton Tucker turned, he found Charlie celebrating with Claire at the finish line and he felt his world collapsing.
What on earth was happening!
What in the world was going on!
When did the BMW 520 start outperforming the BMW 540?
No! This guy must have modified his car!
Unbelievable! You tricked me with a modified car? How could you!
Grinding his teeth, he drove back to the crowd, where Charlie was already basking in applause and reveling in his victory.
All the classmates around were baffled. They still couldn’t fathom why Charlie’s 520 was so incredibly fast!
Clinton Tucker parked the car, stormed out and shouted angrily, “You’ve got to be kidding me, Charlie! You drove a modified car to cheat me, right? This race doesn’t count! The power of that modified car far exceeds mine, how can we fairly compare?”
Charlie replied with a sneer, “Hey, Clinton Tucker, you just claimed that power doesn’t matter, what counts are skill and courage. Yet now that you’ve lost, you’re trying to create excuses?”
“I didn’t!” Clinton Tucker retorted, panic briefly flashing across his face. “You’re the one who cheated, not me!”
Loreen scoffed, “Clinton Tucker, you’re dishonest, that’s really pathetic! Don’t forget the toxic oath you just swore whoever refuses to accept defeat should face grave consequences!”
“Exactly!” Many classmates who had initially come to see Charlie fail were now disgruntled with Clinton Tucker. It became clear he couldn’t handle losing. Despite being older, he wasn’t brave enough to uphold the agreement he initiated.
One person said, “Clinton Tucker, stop being boring. We all witnessed it. You wanted to race Charlie, saying that motivation wasn’t important. Now that you’ve lost, you’re trying to escape a bet. Isn’t it obvious you’d rather run away than accept defeat?”
“Yeah!” A girl chimed in. “Clinton Tucker, we all thought you were a man of your word, but now it turns out you’re just a coward who breaks promises!”
Another added, “Now I see the real Clinton Tucker. He’s double standards incarnate! If Charlie lost, he would have never given Charlie a pass! Now that he’s lost, he’s resorting to being a sore loser. What a joke!”
Clinton Tucker’s face turned pale. Truth be told, he had recently purchased this car for over $700,000 and he had no intention of burning it, especially not over a bet!
This was his prized possession! He wouldn’t allow so much as a minor scratch or speck of dust on it; how could he even consider throwing firecrackers in and lighting them?
However, with so many classmates watching, it was clear he had lost their support. If he continued to act like a sore loser, his classmates would likely shun him in the future.
People would start saying he played dirty after losing, that he would rather risk his whole family’s well-being than honor his bet.
With those thoughts swirling in his mind, he felt his resolve crumbling. If he didn’t set the firecrackers off, his reputation would be destroyed!
Just then, Charlie spoke up, “Clinton Tucker, we’re all classmates. We shouldn’t take this too seriously just because we were joking around. Your car is quite valuable, and if you can’t bear to damage it, then don’t.”
Clinton Tucker breathed a quick sigh of relief.
But the students nearby began to murmur, “Wow! Charlie is really generous, look at Clinton Tucker, how embarrassing!”
“Exactly! Charlie noticed he couldn’t handle losing, so he gave him a way out!”
Clinton Tucker’s pride flared up he roared, “Who said I can’t afford to lose? Where are those firecrackers? Hand them over! If I can afford the gamble, I can certainly afford the stake!”
At that moment, a victorious smile crept onto Charlie’s face…

The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 30
Loreen was taken aback. She didn’t expect Harold to have such connections in Aurous Hill. Compared to Charlie, he had a lot more influence.
It seems that if I can get closer to him in Aurous Hill, it will make my daily life much easier.
The man in black guided everyone respectfully to the door of the diamond box.
He then retrieved the list and handed it directly to Charlie, saying softly, “Sir, please sign here.”
This diamond box was reserved for Charlie, so he needed to sign to confirm his presence.
Charlie took the paper and pen with a smile and was about to write his name when Harold’s voice suddenly interrupted.
“Put the pen down immediately!”
Harold approached with a dark expression, snatched the paper and pen from Charlie’s hand, signed his name quickly, and scolded Charlie, “What a joke! Don’t you know who booked the box? You’re not qualified to sign it!”
The man in black was taken aback. He glanced at Charlie, silently asking if he should step in and teach this disrespectful idiot a lesson.
Charlie replied calmly, “It’s fine. If he wants to sign, let him.”
In front of Loreen, Charlie didn’t want to escalate the situation. After all, she was his wife’s close friend.
Soon, everyone settled in the box.
Harold arranged for Loreen to sit in the main seat while Charlie found himself at a corner, with only Loreen occasionally engaging him in conversation.
Before long, a feast of exquisite dishes and fine wines was brought in by the waiter.
The meals were prepared from the finest ingredients, with premium abalone and ten kilograms of Australian lobster served as mere accompaniments.
Even the wine was a century-old national treasure, with a half-kilogram bottle costing over 100,000.
Loreen, well-acquainted with luxury, was also taken aback by the opulence of the meal.
Gerald White exclaimed, “Harold, how much did this meal cost?”
Harold replied proudly, “This meal is worth 300,000 dollars.”
Gerald White responded in surprise, “This isn’t just 300,000 dollars. These bottles of wine alone must exceed 300,000!”
Harold’s confidence wavered as he recalled the black-clothed man’s earlier attitude—could it be that Don Albert had granted him special treatment?
But he hardly knew him!
Loreen’s beautiful eyes sparkled as she regarded Harold with newfound admiration and said, “Harold, thank you!”
Harold smiled and responded, “No, no, this is just what we should do.”
Turning to Charlie, he grinned and said, “Charlie, surely you’ve never had food this good, right?”
Charlie smirked and replied, “What gives you that idea?”
Harold retorted contemptuously, “You’ve had my food, yet you still act tough! If you’d had the chance to enjoy such quality before, I would have personally taken the risk of letting you kick my head around like a soccer ball!”
Charlie smiled indifferently. The luxurious life he led as a child was well beyond what most could imagine. To him, this meal was merely typical fare from the Wade family.
Seeing Charlie’s stubbornness, Wendy snapped, “Charlie, what’s with your attitude toward my brother? Do you want me to throw you out right now? I invited you for a complimentary meal, and still, you have the audacity to act shamelessly! You’re such a loser!”
However, just then, the door to the box was kicked open, and a fierce voice shouted, “Who let you idiots in here? What do you think you’re doing in this box?”
Moments later, a man dressed in a flashy suit with a thick gold chain appeared, brandishing a stick and displaying a menacing scar that stretched from the corner of his eye to his chin.
He held a list in one hand and a stick in the other, his expression fierce!
Following him was a group of over a dozen burly men covered in tattoos and scars, encircling everyone.
Everyone froze in shock and panic. What was happening?
The leader, known as Bill The Bear, was a right-hand man to Don Albert. Having fought alongside him in the past, he was well-respected throughout Aurous Hill.
Don Albert had sent him to ensure everything was perfect for Mr. Wade, who wished to use the diamond box at Heaven Springs.
However, upon checking the box’s reservation, Bill The Bear discovered it had been signed out by a scoundrel named Harold, igniting both anger and concern within him.
He was furious that Harold had occupied the box meant for important guests and worried that there wouldn’t be enough space left for the true prestigious clients.
Harold stood up and confronted him, “What’s going on? I reserved this box—why are you barging in here and causing a scene?”
Bill The Bear pointed at Harold and demanded, “Are you Harold Wilson?”
Harold nodded, puffing out his chest in pride, “Yes, that’s me!”
Bill The Bear replied coldly, “Bring him over here!”
Without hesitation, two muscular men grabbed Harold and dragged him forward.
“What are you doing? Let go of me!”
“What nonsense are you speaking!”
One of the men kicked Harold in the knee, causing him to yelp in pain and kneel before Bill The Bear.
Bill The Bear’s cold gaze scanned Harold, making him feel as if he was under a scrutinizing blade.
With a swift motion, he tossed the signature sheet directly onto Harold’s head.
“Who gave you permission to use this box?” Bill The Bear scolded.
Harold feigned calmness, saying, “This is a misunderstanding! I reserved this golden box in advance and paid the 300,000 deposit!”
Gerald White chimed in, “What is the meaning of all this? This box was booked by Harold; don’t you have any rules?”
Bill The Bear spat, struck Harold hard, and retorted, “Golden box? This is a diamond box set aside for distinguished guests! You think you lowlifes are qualified to use it?!”
Everyone gasped at his words.
A diamond box? No wonder this place was so extravagant—the food and wine are all top-notch; it turns out, it wasn’t a golden box at all!
Gerald White began to sweat nervously. The diamond box was so exclusive that he and his peers weren’t fit to even step inside, let alone dine here.
Wendy quickly added, “Brother, don’t you know Don Albert? You need to explain this to them.”
Harold, feeling overwhelmed, quickly interjected, “Shut up; don’t say things you don’t mean. How could I possibly know Don Albert with my background?”
Wendy responded, “But didn’t you just—”
Loreen noticed the brother and sister’s antics and realized Harold had been boasting about connections he didn’t actually possess.
She felt a twinge of disappointment.
Bill The Bear sneered, “You dare invoke Don Albert’s name? You must truly be trying to throw your life away!”
With that, Bill The Bear rose and commanded his men, “Grab this fool; I’m about to teach him a lesson.”
Harold was quickly restrained and rendered immobile!
The very next moment,
Bill The Bear swung down the stick without hesitation!
“Ah… my hand, it’s broken!”
Harold screamed in agony, his body drenched in cold sweat, humiliated to the point of fainting.
Witnessing this, Gerald and Wendy turned pale with fear.
Harold, who had been so boastful just moments ago, was instantly reduced to a pitiful state. Who wouldn’t be terrified?
Loreen trembled in fright, hiding behind Charlie and asking worriedly, “What should we do? They won’t kill anyone, right?”
Charlie reassuringly patted Loreen’s shoulder, saying, “Don’t worry, I’m here, no one will harm you.”
Loreen looked at Charlie with gratitude. She understood he might not be able to resolve such trouble, but his words gave her a semblance of comfort.
At that moment, Bill The Bear kicked Harold, who lay there like a lifeless rag, berating him, “What a coward!”
Then he turned his attention back to Gerald White.
“And you, you were the one claiming I had no rules, correct? Step forward, you!”

The Amazing Son In Law Chapter 12
Knowing that Charlie was joking, Claire wasn’t bothered. She stepped aside and called Doris Young.
Soon, the call connected.
Doris Young’s cheerful voice came through, “Hello, Ms. Wilson.”
“Hello, Vice President Young. I have something to discuss and would like your help,” Claire said a bit sheepishly.
“Of course, please go ahead,” Doris Young replied.
Claire gathered her thoughts, took a deep breath, and mustered her courage to say, “I’d like to know if the chairman is available tomorrow night. We’re planning to hold a banquet at home to officially announce our cooperation with Emgrand. I hope the chairman can assist me with this…”
Doris Young was silent for a moment before responding, “Ms. Wilson, I can’t make a decision on this matter. However, I can ask the chairman for his opinion if you’d like.”
Claire replied respectfully, “Thank you, I appreciate your help.”
After hanging up the phone, Claire anxiously held her device, waiting for a response.
At that moment, Charlie’s phone suddenly rang.
Charlie was taken aback, cursing himself internally for forgetting to silence his phone. It must be Doris Young calling to ask for his opinion…
He feigned calmness and answered the call, “Hmm?”
Doris Young’s voice came through, “Chairman, the Wilson family is planning a banquet tomorrow night. I wanted to know if you would like to attend?”
Charlie responded, “Oh, yes, I will… Okay, that’s all…”
Once the call ended, Charlie quickly hung up and muttered, “These salespeople can really be a nuisance…”
Claire suspected nothing and moments later, her phone rang again.
Doris Young’s voice chimed in once more, “Ms. Wilson, our chairman has agreed to attend and will head straight to the banquet!”
“Really? That’s fantastic! Thank you for your assistance, and please extend my gratitude to the chairman,” Claire exclaimed, suddenly brimming with excitement. She hadn’t expected such a prompt agreement.
Claire hurriedly turned to Lady Wilson, “Grandma! The chairman of Emgrand Group has accepted our invitation!”
“Really?!” Lady Wilson was immediately thrilled!
She then directed the Wilson family members present, “Quickly, prepare everything! Book the best hotel, arrange the finest food and drinks, and get ready to warmly welcome the chairman of Emgrand!”
“Additionally, notify all the major businesses in the city and invite them to our banquet! Let them know that the chairman from Emgrand will grace us with his presence!”
With that, the entire Wilson family sprang into action!
Everyone was tremendously excited, reaching out to various partners and elite individuals across Aurous Hill City.
This was undoubtedly a groundbreaking announcement!
Before long, news spread throughout Aurous Hill!
The enigmatic new chairman of Emgrand Group would attend the Wilson family’s banquet the following night!
Lady Wilson received countless inquiries and greeted each one with a smile.
Today was a joyful day for her because as soon as tomorrow’s banquet concluded, the Wilson family would undoubtedly become the most talked-about family in Aurous Hill!
With this thought, she beamed with excitement and declared, “Alright, we’ve covered everything for today. Let’s focus on preparing for tomorrow’s banquet. Meeting adjourned!”
After the meeting, Lady Wilson returned to her office.
Harold’s gaze shifted, and he closely followed her.
“Grandma, are you truly planning to give the director position to Claire?”
Once they were out of earshot, Harold couldn’t help but speak up.
Lady Wilson frowned, replying coldly, “I’ve already promised Claire; why shouldn’t I give it to her?”
Harold persisted, “Grandma, she shouldn’t be the director!”
Lady Wilson retorted, “Why not? She won such an important contract; she’s a hero for the company, and she deserves recognition.”
Harold quickly countered, “The reason Claire secured the Emgrand contract is that Wendell Jones from the Jones family helped her behind the scenes. I heard he visited her house yesterday! Emgrand Group officially signed with us today. It can’t be mere coincidence! I think she probably slept with Wendell Jones!”
Lady Wilson exclaimed angrily, “Is what you’re saying true?”
Harold asserted confidently, “Of course it is. Wendell Jones did visit Claire last night. Verify it, and you’ll see.”
Then, Harold said to Lady Wilson, “Grandma, Claire is a married woman. If rumors spread about her and Wendell Jones, and people find out our Wilson family landed the Emgrand contract through these means, what will that mean for our family’s reputation? What about your reputation?”
Lady Wilson frowned, already inclined to believe Harold’s claim.
She knew Wendell Jones harbored feelings for Claire.
At her birthday celebration, Wendell Jones had gifted her a jade Buddha amulet worth three or four million.
This also seemed to clarify how Claire managed to secure a contract worth 60 million.
At this moment, Harold added, “If we allow such an unscrupulous woman to become the director, our reputation will suffer even more. We must choose a different director and shift the credit for the project to someone else, preferably a man, to minimize the rumors!”
Lady Wilson nodded slightly.
She believed about 80% of what Harold suggested.
From this perspective, she indeed had to consider selecting another director to quash the potential gossip.
If everyone discovered that Claire obtained the contract due to her ties with Wendell Jones, she could still assert to the public that the project was successful thanks to the new director, not because of Claire’s personal relationships.
Moreover, Lady Wilson had a personal motive as well.
She harbored a dislike for Claire! Additionally, she had always favored boys over girls and didn’t want Claire’s status and influence within the Wilson family to grow.
She needed to contain her to ensure the family’s assets weren’t compromised by outsiders.
Having made this decision, she looked at Harold and said coldly, “Harold, in the company, you must adhere to my directions. Follow my orders without question, and don’t engage in anything I haven’t approved. Do you understand?”
Harold immediately pledged his loyalty, saying, “Grandma, rest assured that I will do everything you ask in the future!”
“Good.” Lady Wilson nodded with satisfaction, “At tomorrow’s banquet, I will introduce you as the new director responsible for our collaboration with Emgrand Group. But you must remember to be compliant. I can promote you, but I can just as easily diminish you!”
Harold beamed with eagerness and quickly replied, “Grandma, you don’t need to worry! I will definitely be obedient!”
