Hazel's announcement sent a shock wave across the room, making everyone gape in extreme surprise!
Everyone thought that Hazel must be out of her mind!
It was the worst time to stand under the limelight now! Other than now failing miserably, there's nothing else she could achieve! Emgrand Group was the Carter largest company in Aurous Hill and the Carter family was nothing more than an insignificant ant to them! Whoever took the challenge would only end up failing!
Harold couldn't help but mock sarcastically, "Hazel, do you really think you can get a deal from Emgrand Group?"
Wendy continued in the same mocking tone after her brother, "Hazel, Who do you think you are, What do you think Emgrand Group is? You being so reckless and irrational will only humiliate us, the Carter family
Someone else added, "Wendy is right! If she is kicked out by Emgrand Group, our family will be a laughing stock in Aurous Hill"
Blood rushed to Hazel's face and she felt her face burning in embarrassment.
Her status in the family had plummeted since she married Xavier. Not only did the family members ignore her and elbow her aside but they also derided her parents.
She felt that if she could strike that deal with Emgrand Group she could consolidated her position in the family.
The most important thing was that her parents could also stand up tall and be proud of who they were.
But under the sarcastic comments and
condemnation, she wanted to withdraw herself from her silly idea.
She glared at Hazel in annoyance. How did he bewitch her and why did she listen to him? she shouldn't have made such a silly suggestion in the first place...
Lady Carter was very angry as she listened to the audience's verbal exchange.
No one dared to accept the task after she asked several times. Now that Haze courageously stood up to take the challenge, these people started ridiculing her!
Lady Carter had always disliked Hazel but at this moment, she was glad that Hazel was at least willing to walk the impossible talk, unlike the rest of the members who were only good at giving her trouble!
Especially her favorite grandson , Harold! He was such a disappointment!
Because of this, Lady Carter's attitude towards Hazel change a lot . She said immediately, "Stop your nonsense, you cowards! I'll pass the task of striking a deal with Emgrand Group to Hazel!"
Sheepishly, Hazel mumbled, "Don't worry, Grandma, I'll try my best "
Harold puffed a breath from his nose and sneered coldly, ''You try your best , and then what? You'll embarrass us when you fail later!"
Xavier asked in a mocking tone, "Harold Carter, why do you taunt Hazel like that? Do you think that the Carter family is not qualified to collaborate with Emgrand Group?"
Harold had a never expected that the loser Xavier Wade dared to speak up during the family meeting, not to mention in such a high horse manner.
Seeing the fury slowly burning on Lady Carter's face, he quickly explain, "No
I don't mean it like that, I just think it is impossible for Hazel to strike the deal that's all!"
Xavier laughed in amusement and asked "What if she succeed? Should we make a bet?"
Harold grinned coyly, "Okay, let's bet
then! Do you think I'm scared of your little threat? What do you want to bet? Let's hear you out."
Xavier said, "If Hazel succeed , you will grovel at my feet and admit that you're wrong in front everyone. If she fails, I will grovel at your feet and admit that I'm wrong. What do you think?"
"Hahaha!" Harold laughed out loud. "You're really digging your own grave, loser! Alright, I'll take the bet!"
Xavier nodded with satisfaction and uttered , "Everyone, all of you are our
witnesses. Whoever goes back on the bet would have his father, mother, grandpa , and grandma die!"
He intentionally emphasized the word grandma loudly and clearly, for he didn't want Harold to break their promise after he lost.
Harold wouldn't dare to go back on his words after such a statement. If he did repent, he would be cursing his grandmother, Lady Carter to die! Lady Carter would not let him off the hook so easily
"Okay!" Harold thought that he was on the winning side, but what Harold didn't know was that he jumping right into Xavier's trap. He laughed loudly and said, "Everyone you'll be my witness, I'll wait for you to kneel before me!
was startled by the entire event that
she kept signalling to Xavier with her eyes, but he turned a blind eye to her.
Lady Carter couldn't care less about the bet. Her only concern was whether the Carter Group could take a spot in Emgrand Group's collaboration list. If the deal was on, she wouldn't even mind if Harold called Xavier his daddy, let alone kneel before him.
Thus, she said calmly, "Okay, that's all for today. Hazel, you have three days to negotiate and strike the deal. Dismiss!"
After returning home, Hazel's parents threw a fist at the young couple.
Hazel's mother, Elaine Carter paced the living room agitatedly and said. "Hazel, you're crazy! How could you listen to the loser and accept the task without thinking it though?"
Hazel's father, Jacob Carter, turned to Xavier and chided, "Xavier, you hopeless loser, you've pushed my darling daughter right into the grave this time!"
His face flushed in red as he continued," If Hazel fails this time, she will be elbowed by the rest of the family , and you! You'll have to bow to Harold like a peasant in front of the whole family! My dignity will be ruined!"
Xavier said earnestly, "Dad, mom. everything well be alright if Hazel succeeds in the negotiate and strikes the deal, am I right?"
"Negotiate my a*s!" Jacob growled furiously, "Do you have any ideal how powerful Emgrand Group is? They won't even bat an eye at the mediocre
Carter family
Xavier said with a smile, "Maybe someone will bat an eye at us, you don't know that. Honestly, I have confidence in Hazel, I think Hazel will strike the deal easily."
Elaine sneered scornfully. "You think? Who are you, do you think you are the Owner of Emgrand Group? You are nothing but a loser, a piece of trash, how do you dare be so ignorant and confident
