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 comparable to himself in terms of status or identity. If favonovel.com had accepted the task yesterday, favonovel.com would not give Claire a chance to shine herself regardless of the results! Yet, favonovel.com refused because favonovel.com feared that favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com let out a loud laugh. “Good! Good! Very good! Claire, you’ve done an excellent job!” After that, favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com didn’t even know who the chairman of Emgrand Group was. No one would believe favonovel.com if favonovel.com said the truth. Upon hearing this, Harold felt as if his heart had been stabbed a million times and favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 hell do you think you are? You are just a useless toy boy who married into our family! Do you expect me to bow before you?”
Charlie said flatly, “Yes, indeed, I’m a useless toy boy, but remember, we took an oath yesterday. Whoever breaks their promise would have his mother, father, grandpa, and grandma die!” Again, favonovel.com deliberately emphasizes 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 favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com made a quick deduction.
If favonovel.com abided by the betting rules and admitted his defeat to Charlie, favonovel.com would lose face. But if favonovel.com went against the betand enraged his grandma, favonovel.com would lose everything favonovel.com had in the Wilson family! He would lose more than his face!
No matter how reluctant favonovel.com was, favonovel.com gritted his teeth and muttered, “Alright! I’ll keep my promise!”
Charlie glanced at favonovel.com quietly with a smile, waiting for favonovel.com to come and kneel before him. Harold felt as if his legs were filled with lead. He strode slowly and with difficulty as favonovel.com moved towards Charlie. He was so agitated that his whole body was shivering, clenching his teeth annoyingly. But then, his legs went jelly and the 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, favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com wanted to kill and shred Charlie into a million pieces, but there was still one last bow. Thus, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com had the opportunity to make Harold kneel on the floor like a dog and admit his mistakes, favonovel.com felt so refreshed and excited! Claire’s eyes widened in astonishment as favonovel.com watched the entire event unfolding, suddenly feeling that favonovel.com husband was different from before! However, favonovel.com couldn’t really tell what the difference was.
When favonovel.com recalled the confident look on Charlie’s face when favonovel.com had made the bet with Harold yesterday, favonovel.com couldn’t help but wonder if favonovel.com had already known that favonovel.com would succeed. Where and why did favonovel.com have such strong confidence all of a sudden?
