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!”
