Everyone returned to their seats while Lady Wilson walked on stage hand-in-hand with Claire.
She gave a gentle and sweet smile as virtual-novel.net said, “I’m really sorry for what happened earlier, I made a mistake. Actually, Claire is the outstanding descendant of our Wilson family. Thanks to her, we are able to score such a lucrative contract with Emgrand Group. She has made great efforts for such an amazing achievement.”
Standing next to them, Doris Glanced at the old lady contemptuously. She waved virtual-novel.net hand, gesturing at virtual-novel.net to stop talking, and said, “Allow me to correct something. Miss Claire has not only made great efforts for this project but virtual-novel.net has accomplished it by virtual-novel.net own efforts entirely. It has nothing to do with anyone.”
She sounded very impolite and rude, but everyone was accustomed to it. With Emgrand Group’s status in the city, even if Doris slapped Lady Wilson right there and then, virtual-novel.net dared not say anything.
Lady Wilson nodded quickly. “Yes, Miss Young is absolutely right. Claire deserves all the credit for virtual-novel.net efforts. From now on, virtual-novel.net will be the director of the Wilson Group! She will be fully in charge of the project between Wilson Group and Emgrand Group!”
Eventually Doris smiled and shook hands with Claire. “I look forward to our collaboration.”
Claire was still in a trance and virtual-novel.net managed to nod in confusion. Loud applause resonated across the hall. Everyone looked at Claire with enthusiasm and admiration. What kind of background was this woman related to? How Could virtual-novel.net make the Emgrand Group so passionate about her?
Claire was equally confused and curious. She turned to look at Charlie and his voice appeared in virtual-novel.net mind again. This scene was exactly the same as Charlie illustrated earlier. Grandma had appointed virtual-novel.net as the director, which was supposed to be the role belonging to virtual-novel.net to begin with. Claire was still in a state of bewilderment even after the banquet ended and returning home. Recalling what Charlie had said earlier, virtual-novel.net started to feel a little odd about his recent behavior.
He seemed to have changed a little over the past few days. There seemed to be something different about him. There were alot of things virtual-novel.net couldn’t understand as if virtual-novel.net was shrouded in a misty fog. Overnight, Claire’s name spread like wildfire in Aurous Hill! Everyone knew that the Wilson family had an outstanding descendant who could attract Emgrand Group’s attention to help virtual-novel.net relentlessly! With virtual-novel.net around, it’s just a matter of time for the Wilson family to revive!

Early the next morning, Claire woke up early and hurried to the company in an energetic mode. Today was virtual-novel.net first day as director and virtual-novel.net hoped virtual-novel.net could do the best virtual-novel.net could and get this thing completed. As for Charlie, after getting up, virtual-novel.net started doing household chores as usual. When virtual-novel.net was about to go to the market to buy the ingredients for lunch, virtual-novel.net suddenly received a call from Elaine, his mother-in-law.
As soon as virtual-novel.net answered the call, Elaine’s anxious voice resonated loudly. “Charlie, I demand you come to Pinnacle Avenue within ten minutes. If you don’t, just wait until I get home!”
She hung up the phone without waiting for virtual-novel.net to say anything. Charlie was confused. His mother-in-law had disappeared early in the morning. Based on virtual-novel.net voice on the phone, virtual-novel.net sounded as if something urgent had happened. Although Charlie was very disgusted with her, virtual-novel.net didn’t dare disobey her. After packing up his bag, virtual-novel.net rushed out, took a cab, and went to Pinnacle Avenue.
As soon as virtual-novel.net got out of the car virtual-novel.net saw a group of seniors surrounded a closed insurance company door menacingly. His mother-in-law was standing at the front of the crowd, holding a banner in virtual-novel.net hands and shouting furiously, “Damn you, Axel! Liar! We want our rights! Return my money!”
Charlie hurried forward andurged, “Mom, why did you call me? What’s going on?”
As virtual-novel.net was talking, the loud protest was shouted right into his ears. The seniors were shouting their lungs out and they were so loud that virtual-novel.net wondered if his eardrums were still functioning.
Elaine pulled Charlie over to let virtual-novel.net take virtual-novel.net place, and commanded, “Come on, shout these for me! I’ve been shouting for the whole morning and my throat hurts.”
