Chapter - 9

For an instant, an abrupt and outlandish thought appeared in Claire’s mind. The Mr. Wade that Doris mentioned, could he really be her husband, Charlie Wade? When she processed it again, she found it to be too preposterous. How could it be! Charlie was an orphan who grew up in a welfare home! However, who else in the world would treat her so well besides Charlie? Thirty million dollars was an extravagant hope, but they gave her sixty million…

She couldn’t help but asked curiously, “Miss Young, may I know if your chairman is Charlie Wade?”

Doris’s heart skipped a beat. The boss had already demanded her to keep his identity secret, only to reveal his last name to the public. She would be blamed if his wife guessed it! She shook her hands frantically and said, “Miss Wilson, I hope you can drop it. Our chairman is the descendant of a prominent family in Eastcliff. His identity is highly confidential and I have no right to disclose it.”

Claire nodded gently. She composed herself upon the mention of the descendant in Eastcliff. Charlie was an orphan, he was definitely not a so-called descendant from a prominent family. Indeed, she was overthinking it.

Claire still felt a little dizzy and confused when she exited Doris’s office. She was holding a sixty million dollar contract between Wilson Group and Emgrand Group in her hand. Everything unfolded like a dream.

As soon as she saw Charlie at the entrance, she rushed to him excitedly and said, “Charlie, I did it! I did it!”
