Charlie slowly stood up as everyone gaped in disbelief.In an instant, the gaze of the entire banquet hall focused on him.“Charlie, what are you doing! Sit down!” Elaine shrieked in horror.Didn’t he look at where he was at now! None of the fearsome bosses dared to stand up at a moment like this, but what did this loser aim to steal the limelight right now!Gerald and Kevin exchanged glances and whispered, “D*mn, is he really the chairman of Emgrand Group?”Immediately after that, they shook their head earnestly.No way, if he were really the chairman, how could he be scolded by his mother-in-law now?“Loser, what do you think you’re doing? Sit down!” Harold shouted in an annoyed tone on the stage.Charlie glared at him coldly. Then, ignoring everyone’s bewildered and confused glances, he went straight to Doris and whispered in her ear.Doris nodded slightly while listening.The scene made everyone’s hearts skip a beat!Doris Young! The vice-chairman of Emgrand Group! The f

Everyone returned to their seats while Lady Wilson walked on stage hand-in-hand with Claire.She gave a gentle and sweet smile as she 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 her hand, gesturing at her to stop talking, and said, “Allow me to correct something. Miss Claire has not only made great efforts for this project but she has accomplished it by her 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, she dared not say anything.Lady Wilson nodded quickly. “Yes, Miss Young is absolutely right. C

The call was answered quickly.Elaine hurriedly said, “Hello, is it, Kevin? Hi, I’m Claire’s mother…”Ever since meeting Claire at the banquet, her beauty knocked him off his feet. He couldn’t get her out of his mind.He was frustrated as to how he was supposed to approach Claire when coincidentally, her mother called him. He figured that Elaine must be in some kind of trouble and of course, he would not miss the chance to woo her.Thus, he put up a sincere tone and said, “Auntie, are you in any trouble?”“Well, there is something I need you to help me with,” Elaine hurriedly said, “Kevin, some old friends and I have bought some participating policies from an insurance company called Axel and we literally used all our money to buy it. However, the company isn’t paying us our dividends now and they don’t even want to return us our money! Could you find a way to help me get the money back, please?”Kevin was delighted upon hearing it, figuring that it was time for him to perform. H

Just as Elaine was extremely thrilled, Kevin announced loudly, “Uncles and aunties, relax, I’ll go speak to them now. Please wait for my good news!”Elaine felt that with Kevin’s presence here, they were the most invincible of them all, so she blurted excitedly, “Kevin, I’ll go with you!”Charlie quickly interjected, “Mom, I think you’d better stay away from it. If Kevin can’t solve the problem, you might get into trouble!”“Bah!” Elaine growled angrily. “How dare you doubt Kevin’s abilities, you loser?!”The other seniors expected that Kevin could help them get back their money. Now that Charlie was singing a different tune, they were irked and irritated by him.Facing the resentful glare and murmur, Charlie said flatly, “Mom, it’s better for you to wait here. It’s best to be a bystander.”Elaine found his voice disgusting and she immediately cursed, “Shut your stinky mouth! This is not a place for you to speak!”Pompousness and arrogance were written all over Kevin’s face. He

At this moment, Kevin was standing in front of Axel Insurance’s main door with a proud face.He knew that today was the best opportunity for him to show off himself in front of Claire’s mother. He must seize the moment to prove his worth!If he could win her mother’s heart, she would be his in no time!When the time came, he could finally be with Claire Wilson, the most beautiful woman in Aurous Hill. He was in jitters as he thought of it!Hence, he announced in a loud voice, “Uncles and aunties, don’t worry. The boss will refund everyone!”Everyone cheered with joy and excitement upon hearing his statement, wide smiles were plastered on their faces.Everyone but Charlie, who looked at Kevin with a sneer. That dude was too full of himself right now, he wouldn’t even know how he would end up being later.Just when Kevin held his chin high and enjoyed the cheers, someone suddenly pushed open Axel Insurance’s door from the inside.Later, Axel and a middle-aged man in a smart suit
