The Charismatic Charlie Wade. Chapter 22 - Chapter 22 (2024)

After Charlie ran out the door, he realized that Claire didn't go far. She was crouching in the corner of a pillar, sobbing in grievance.

He approached slowly, took his coat off, draped it on Claire, and said, "Dear, don't be sad. The director of Wilson Group is just a mediocre position, you can do better than that..."

"No, you don't understand. If I become the director, my parents will be able to stand upright in the family again. How could Grandma go back on her word..." Claire whimpered dejected.

Charlie continued, "Who knows? Maybe they'll come begging you to become the director. Look at you with your crybaby face, you won't be pretty when you go on stage later..."

"No way, it's impossible. Grandma has already made the announcement, there's no turning back. You go ahead, get back inside. Let me he alone..."

At this moment, Lady Wilson and Harold ran out of the hall too.

The old lady was huffing and puffing after running, with a large crowd of busybodies behind her to watch the drama unfold.

Harold saw Charlie and Claire the minute he stepped outside. He hurried forward, looked down at Claire whose face was covered in tears, and blurted anxiously, "Claire, hurry up and pursue Miss Young, ask her not to terminate our contract!"

Claire stared at him in a daze. "Terminate our contract? Why?"

Harold growled indignantly, "Stop pretending! It must be you who had instructed Miss Young to embarrass me in front of everyone! If you don't settle this, I won't let you go!"

Slap!

Lady Wilson slapped Harold again and chided angrily, "How could you talk to your sister like that, you bastard! She is the director of our Wilson Group!"

Harold stomped anxiously. "Grandma... didn't you say that you want me to he the director?"

"If it wasn't for you brainwashing me, why would I have changed my mind suddenly? If you continue to behave like this, get out of the Wilson family!"

Harold was extremely outraged after being slapped twice, but this was not the moment for him to burst in fury. He could only swallow his irritation.

Lady Wilson turned to Claire and persuaded her. "Claire, please, I beg you

You are now the director of the Wilson family, please explain it to Miss Young.

Otherwise, we're completely ruined!"

Claire looked at Charlie in confusion

Charlie shrugged and said, "I told you they'd come and beg you to be the

director, and you didn't believe me. See, your makeup is smeared now..."

Claire blushed timidly. She wiped her tears before saying, "Then I'll try to contact Emgrand."

She took out her phone and called Doris.

All eyes were on her right now.

After a short while, her call was answered. She started. "Hello, Miss Young, my grandmother would like me to explain to you that I'll be promoted to the director of Wilson Group and also in charge of the project with Emgrand Group. I hope you can give us another chance..."

Doris said with a chuckle, "Of course, if you're the director and the person in charge of the project, then there's no problem, we can proceed. But if another person is appointed for the job, everything will be off the table...".

"Miss Young.. thank you, thank you so much..."

Claire felt puzzled and bewildered about the whole thing. From the beginning. it seemed that Emgrand Group was there to help her entirely, which was bizarrely unusual.

Doris said with a smile, "It's all my chairman's idea. Perhaps he'll explain it to you personally in the near future..."

Claire was even more bewildered. Who was this chairman anyway? She had never met him, but why did he help her everywhere he could?

"So, could you please return to the hall again?" Claire asked nervously.

Apparently, Doris had left the hall because she was irritated by the family. It was a bit forceful and shameful to invite her back to the banquet.

Unexpectedly, Doris agreed decisively.

Soon, Doris's car returned to the hotel entrance that sent a shock wave across the crowd.

At this moment, everyone's gazes were filled with awe and fear as they looked at Claire.
