In a fleeting moment, a bizarre thought crossed ire’s mind. Could the Mr. Wade that Doris mentioned actually be her husband, Charlie Wade? Upon further reflection, she dismissed the idea as utterly ridiculous. After all, Charlie was an orphan who had grown up in a welfare home! But then again, who in the world had ever treated her as well as Charlie did? Thirty million dors might have seemed like an extravagant dream, yet they had offered her sixty million…
Unable to contain her curiosity, she asked, “Miss Young, is your chairman Charlie Wade?”
Doris felt her heart race. The chairman had explicitly instructed her to keep his identity a closely guarded secret, only revealing hisst name to the public. If ire guessed correctly, she would be in trouble!
She quickly shook her head and replied, “Miss Wilson, I urge you to drop that question. Our chairman is from a prestigious family in Eastcliff. His identity is highly confidential, and I’m not authorized to disclose any details.”
ire nodded, calming herself at the mention of an Eastcliff descendant. After all, Charlie was an orphan and certainly not from a prominent family. It seemed she had been overthinking things.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">

Still feeling dizzy and dazed, ire stepped out of Doris’s office, clutching a sixty million dor contract between Wilson Group and Emgrand Group. It all felt surreal, like a dreame true.
As soon as she spotted Charlie at the entrance, she rushed over, excitement bubbling inside her. “Charlie, I did it! I did it!”
Charlie felt a grin tug at his heart. ‘Of course, your husband is the owner of Emgrand Group; securing the deal was a given!’ But he feigned surprise and eximed, “Wow! You managed tond such a challenging project! Darling, you’re amazing!”
“Not really,” ire said modestly. “It seems they just handed the project to me.”
“Huh?” Charlie looked confused. “What do you mean?”
ire hesitated, worried that mentioning the chairman’s intentions might make Charlie jealous. So, she quickly changed the subject, “It’s a long story. Let’s head back to the office and share the good news!”
Charlie chuckled. “Alright! This time, that arrogant Harold must honor the bet and kneel before me!”
ire agreed, “Yes! He’s so snobbish and conceited; it’s time he faces a reality check!”
In truth, ire had her own strong personality. Harold and the rest of the family had always looked down on her and Charlie, but now that she had achieved the impossible, she was determined to humble them a bit.
Ten minutester, they arrived at the Wilson Group office. The atmosphere in the conference room was tense and peculiar. Everyone knew ire had gone to Emgrand Group that morning, but they didn’t believe she could seed, so they were there to mock her. To their surprise, she returned much sooner than expected. As ire and Charlie entered, they were met with sneers and disdainful looks.
Harold sneered, “Hey, ire, back so soon? Couldn’t even get past their door, right? Hahaha!” Wendy chimed in, “ire, failing in less than an hour? That’s a world record!”
A cloud of disappointment shadowed Lady Wilson’s face. She was irked; she understood that tackling a project with Emgrand Group was daunting, but ire should at least show some determination, even in failure! How could she give up so easily?
Lady Wilson red at ire and said, “ire Wilson, you disappoint me.”
Charlie frowned at their reactions. How could they be so vile? They were ridiculing ire without knowing the oue! Especially Harold, the insufferable brat! Who did he think he was to look down on them? He better be ready to kneel before him!
Initially thrilled, ire’s excitement began to wane in the face of their mockery. Anger simmered inside her as she replied, “I’m sorry to disappoint, but I’ve secured a deal with Doris Young from Emgrand Group!”
“What? You actually did it?”
“No way! That’s impossible! You couldn’t even meet Doris Young!”
Everyone gasped in disbelief.
“ire Wilson, do you think we’ll fall for that?”
Harold regained hisposure and mmed his hand on the table, shouting, “Miss Young from Emgrand Group is a well-known elite in the city. Why would she want to meet you? Are you even aware of your status?”
Faced with the crowd’s doubts, ire retrieved the contract and handed it to Lady Wilson. “Here’s the contract. Please, take a look.”
The contractnded in the conference room like a bombshell, sending shockwaves through everyone present!
Harold still refused to believe it, shouting, “She must have forged it! I can’t believe she could handle Emgrand Group!”
“He’s right!” Wendy chimed in, aghast. “Who does she think she is, striking a deal with Emgrand? It’s a thirty million dor project! If she could do it, I would have already secured it myself!”
ire scoffed. “Cousin, you’re mistaken; it’s not thirty million, it’s sixty million!”<fn6a32> ??? ????? ???????s ??? ?????s??? ?? findnovel</fn6a32>
“No way!” Wendyughed derisively. “Sixty million? You must think we’re all idiots! If you im it’s sixty million, I can just as easily say I’llnd a hundred million dor contract!”
Harold curled his lip in contempt. “ire, you’re making fools of Grandma and us!”
He turned to Lady Wilson, saying, “Grandma, this is uneptable! You can’t just let her off the hook!”
Lady Wilson was fuming, her teeth clenched in anger. She already thought it was a stretch tond a thirty million dor deal, but ire came back iming it was worth sixty million… Did the youngdy truly believe she could toy with everyone in front of such arge audience? If she didn’t expel this rebellious girl from the family, how could she maintain control in the future?
With fury in her eyes, Lady Wilson mmed the table andmanded, “ire Wilson! Go to the HR department right now and submit your resignation!”
ire stared in disbelief. Were they out of their minds? How hard could it be to simply open the contract and read it? Just then, someone shouted, “Wow! Emgrand Group’s official social media ount just announced it! The sixty million dor contract is real!”
