Chapter 23


    Everyone returned to their seats while Lady Wilson walked on stage hand-in-hand with ire.


    She gave a gentle and sweet smile as she said, "I''m really sorry for what happened earlier, I made


    a mistake. Actually, ire 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 a


    n amazing achievement.” 3


    Standing next to them, Doris nced at the olddy contemptuously. She waved her hand,


    gesturing at her to stop talking, and said, "Allow me to correct something. Miss ire has not only


    made great efforts for this project but she has aplished it by her own efforts entirely. It has


    nothing to do with anyone." 1


    She sounded very impolite and rude, but everyone was ustomed to it. With Emgrand Group''s


    status in the city, even if Doris pped Lady Wilson right there and then, she dared not say


    anything. 1


    Lady Wilson nodded quickly. "Yes, Miss Young is absolutely right. ire deserves all the credit for


    her efforts. From now on, she will be the director of our Wilson Group! She will be fully in charge of


    the project between Wilson Group and Emgrand Group!" 2


    Eventually, Doris smiled and shook hands with ire.


    "I look forward to our coboration."


    ire was still in a trance and she managed to nod in confusion.


    Loud apuse resonated across the hall. Everyone looked at ire with enthusiasm and


    admiration. 1


    What kind of background was this woman rted to? How could she make Emgrand Group so


    passionate about her?


    ire was equally confused and curious. She turned t o look at Charlie and his voice appeared in


    her mind again. This scene was exactly the same as Charlie illustrated earlier-Grandma had


    appointed her as the director, which was supposed to be the role belonging t o her to begin with. 1


    ire was still in a state of bewilderment even after the banquet ended and returning home.


    Recalling what Charlie had said earlier, she started to feel a little odd about his recent behavior. He


    seemed t o have changed a little over the past few days.


    There seemed to be something different about him. There were a lot of things she couldn’t


    understand as i f he was shrouded in a misty fog.


    Overnight, ire''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 her relentlessly! i


    With her around, it''s just a matter of time for the Wilson family to revive!

    Early the next morning, ire woke up early and hurried to thepany in an energetic mode.


    Today was her first day as director and she hoped she could do the best she could and get this


    thingpleted. 1

    As for Charlie, after getting up, he started doing household chores as usual. 1


    When he was about to go to the market to buy the ingredients for lunch, he suddenly received a call


    from ine, his mother-inw. 1


    As soon as he answered the call, ine''s anxious voice resonated loudly. "Charlie, I demand you to


    come to Pinnacle Avenue within ten minutes. If you don''t, just wait until I get home!" 1


    She hung up the phone without waiting for him to say anything. 1


    Charlie was confused. His mother-inw had disappeared early in the morning. Based on her voice


    o n the phone, she sounded as if something urgent had happened. 1


    Although Charlie was very disgusted with her, he didn’t dare disobey her. After packing up his bag,


    he rushed out, took a cab, and went to Pinnacle Avenue.


    As soon as he got out of the car, he saw a group of seniors surrounded a closed insurance


    company door menacingly. 3


    His mother-inw was standing at the front of the crowd, holding a banner in her hands and


    shouting furiously, "D*mn you, Axel! Liar! We want our rights! Return my money!" 6


    Charlie hurried forward and urged, "Mom, why did you call me? What''s going on?" 43


    As he was talking, the loud protest was shouted right into his ears. The seniors were shouting their


    lungs out and they were so loud that he wondered if his eardrums were still functioning. 3


    ine pulled Charlie over to let him take her ce, andmanded, "Come on, shout these for


    me! I''ve been shouting for the whole morning and my throat hurts."
