Charlie laughed slightly. It seemed as though Jacob was now very worried that Elaine would find out that Matilda had already returned to Oskia.However, even if he could conceal this thing for a short while, he could not hide it from her for this lifetime.The duration that he could hide this fact from Elaine would depend on the old man’s fortune then.***Lady Wilson was a light sleeper. When she heard the movement outside, she got up from her bed and walked toward the balcony.When she took a look, she realized that Charlie’s house was brightly lit. After taking a closer look, she saw that there were a lot of workers who were planting the fruits and vegetable plants for them!What the hell was this?Shouldn’t they start sowing first if they wanted to plant vegetables? What Charlie was doing was equivalent to moving an entire vegetable plot into his courtyard.A country bumpkin would always be a country bumpkin. He had such a beautiful and good villa but he actually destroye
Claire finally woke up at seven o’clock in the morning. She slept even more comfortably than she did before. She did not dream, nor did she even wake up once throughout the entire night. She seemed to have been in deep sleep throughout the entire night. Therefore, she was filled with energy today.She did not see Charlie after she woke up, but Claire was not surprised. This was because Charlie woke up earlier than her every day.As she knew that Charlie was going to bring her to pick fruits and vegetables today, Claire was in a very good mood. She was really looking forward to it.After she was done washing up, Claire changed into a set of sports attire before she went downstairs.She thought that Charlie would be preparing breakfast at this time. She expected to set out for the suburbs after they were done with breakfast. However, she did not expect Charlie to be waiting for her in the living room.When Charlie saw Claire coming downstairs, he greeted her immediately as he smiled
Then, she looked at Charlie who was standing next to her with a shocked and incredulous expression on her face.“This… I… I am not dreaming, am I, Charlie? Why is there a fruit and vegetable garden in our house?!”Charlie looked at her affectionately before he smiled and said, “My silly wife. Of course, you are not dreaming. Don’t you like picking fruits and vegetables? I got someone to look for the best fruit and vegetable plants in Aurous Hill. I will also take care of this vegetable plot for you in the future to ensure that it will bear abundant fruits and vegetables so that you can pick fruits and vegetables for four seasons in a year!”Claire was so touched that her eyes flushed red!She would never have dreamt that her husband would actually prepare such a big surprise for her!When she was young, she had always been hoping to grow some fruits and vegetables in her yard. She would have been extremely satisfied even if it was just a tomato or pepper plant.However, Lady Wils
This morning, Claire felt as though she was the happiest woman in the world.On the other hand, there was a woman who felt that she was the most unlucky woman in the world.This woman was Hannah, who was in the Silverwing Hospital.She was in the gynecology department waiting for her turn. There was a very long queue ahead of her before it was finally her turn.After entering the room, the doctor started with a routine checkup, but even the experienced doctor gaped in bewilderment when she saw the actual condition Hannah was in and asked, “What is going on? Why did you do this to yourself? Do you not care about your personal hygiene at all?”Although it was a female doctor who attended to her, Hannah’s face turned into an ugly shade of red from her remarks, and she wished she could just vanish from this room right now.She covered her face in embarrassment and said, “Doctor, to be honest, it is because of my man. He doesn’t care about cleanliness all that much…”The doctor compl
Hannah felt dizzy and disoriented when she saw the results!Not only did she get gonorrhea, but she also got syphilis?!The f*cking supervisor was a f*cking king of STDs!He literally caused her all this misery!Hannah’s legs turned to jelly, so she hurriedly leaned against the wall and sat on the ground. As she wiped her tears, she flipped to the third page of the report with shaky hands.The third report said: AIDS antibody HIV, the measured value is 0.11, followed by the reference value indicating ’t get AIDS. It would be the end of her world otherwise!She gulped in relief, finally finding a trace of comfort, and then slowly flipped to the last page of the results.Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG): 5324.2!She read the value over and over again, rolled her eyes upward, and almost fainted!Wasn’t… wasn’t this an indicator of positive pregnancy?!Then, she quickly looked
Hannah was stunned in devastation for a while. The moment she regained her composure, her first thought was to get rid of the baby as soon as possible. She turned to the doctor frantically and asked, “Doctor, when is the soonest appointment for the abortion surgery?”“If you want, I can arrange it for you next week, the earliest is next Monday.”Hannah was startled and panicked when she heard that she had to wait until Monday, and she asked anxiously, “Why do I have to wait until Monday? If it’s about money, I can pay double or ten times the price!”The situation was so serious right now, one day of delay meant a higher possibility that her pregnancy would be discovered. She couldn’t help but be in jitters.The doctor shook her head and stated, “It’s not about the money, but only clinic visits are available during the weekend, there are no scheduled operations. If you want to abort the baby, you have to wait until Monday.”“Alright… let’s do it on Monday, then.”Hannah’s expressi
Christopher said, “Mom asked you to go to the market, buy some meat on your way back, and cook lunch when you get home.”Hannah was a little agitated, but she replied calmly, “Okay, I’ll drop by the market and head home.”***Charlie and Claire were at their little orchard the entire morning, picking the vegetables.Claire was as happy as a lively and carefree 18-year-old girl. She picked the vegetables cheerfully, loosening the soil, and watering the plants seriously.Elaine was still waiting to take photos to upload onto her social media. She was on pins and needles when the couple hung out at the orchard for a very long time.When Charlie and Claire finally entered the house with a large basket of vegetables, she hurried downstairs, took out her phone, and started taking selfies and photos of the garden at every angle possible.After standing under the scorching sun and taking countless photos, she rushed back into her room and quickly applied the aloe vera gel on her exposed
Hearing that it was her grandmother who had stolen vegetables from their yard, Claire sighed helplessly and said, “Mom, if it’s grandma, just let her be. Let her pick whatever she wants, it’s just some vegetables.”Elaine blurted in disdain, “Oh no, you can’t say that. What did your grandma ever give us anyway? Did you forget how she treated us? Huh, after everything she’s done, she has the audacity to steal vegetables from our yard?! No, I can’t let her!”Claire shook her head forlornly. “Mom, don’t overthink this, okay? Grandma wants some for herself too since she sees how fresh and big our vegetables are, don’t be so stingy.”Elaine mumbled in annoyance, “You are a little traitor, hmph!” Then, she turned and headed up the stairs angrily and went back to her room.However, the more Elaine thought about it, the more she felt that they were on the losing side. They had such a wonderful vegetable garden full of top-quality vegetables, she did not even want to spare a single vegetabl
The wealth of the Rothschild family had long been beyond the estimation or calculation of outsiders. Over the years, they had made both visible and hidden investments in countless fields. All offshore companies registered in the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands, as long as they remained unlisted, were not required to disclose shareholder information. Among them were numerous companies in which the Rothschild family held shares or even controls. The true value of these holdings was impossible to verify. Even for listed companies, shareholder information was only disclosed in the primary market. The secondary market was bought and held through various channels that were impossible to count. In addition, the Rothschild family had investments in real estate, energy, mining, transportation, and other areas around the world. It could be said that any industry that was at the forefront of the trend could make enormous wealth. In colonial times, Britain was known as the em
Since both Harrison and Helena had reached an agreement, Helena took out a pen and amended the details of the contract. The whole process was recorded, and coupled with Helena's identity as the Nordic Queen and the high traffic on the internet, she was not at all worried that Harrison would go back on his word. After the two sides agreed on the terms of the contract, Harrison wrote his name on the contract, and then the two sides exchanged agreements, and the contract was officially in effect. After everything was settled, Helena put the contract away, turned off the video recording on her phone, and beamed, "It's been a pleasure working together, Mr. Rothschild!" Harrison hastily asked, "Y-Your Majesty, can you please give me the pill now?" "Of course." Helena handed him the pill swiftly and said, "Even though my family doesn't have a lot of money, we always attach great importance to the spirit of the contract." Harrison stretched out his trembling hand and took the pill.
Helena said, "Mr. Harrison, your family is involved in almost all of the institutions that are major shareholders of Nvidia, and you also hold a lot of floating shares in the secondary market. You got these shares very early, and the chips were very low. As Nvidia's stock price has gone up to over 1 trillion, you have made a lot of money." Harrison had just breathed a sigh of relief when he received a concession of 10 billion, so when Helena started to talk about his past, he quickly explained, "Business is business... Whatever we earn from Nvidia shouldn't be mixed with this matter, w-w-wouldn't you agree, Your Majesty?" "Agreed." Helena nodded. "However, since I'm granting you a hundred billion in hardware costs, this absolutely ties back to Nvidia. You'll ultimately need to procure the AI model hardware through them, and as a shareholder, any bulk orders from Nvidia will effectively be you moving money from one hand to the other." "First, even if the listed cost is a hundred b
Helena was not afflicted by Harrison's annoyance. She said lightly, "Calm down, Mr. Harrison. I haven't finished." After a short pause, she continued, "I want your model for my own use, not for any commercial use, which means it will have no impact on your original market. I just want a completely identical replica for my own use. For you, it's nothing more than giving me a copy, a set of hardware, and twenty years of maintenance fee. That shouldn't cost much, right?" "H-How can I be sure that y-you won't use it for commercial purposes?" Helena smiled and said, "That's the specific detail I'll talk about next. You will still pay me 100 billion dollars, but I will sign a contract with you stating that 50 billion dollars of that will be returned to you at the rate of 2.5 billion dollars per year for the next 20 years. "If you stop upgrading and maintaining the model, I will stop the subsequent return of the money." "If I use your AI model for commercial purposes, you can immedi
Helena added, "In fact, Mr. Rothschild, if you were willing to sacrifice yourself for the family's sake, you could save this money and allow it to contribute to the future development of the family. Who knows—perhaps your descendants would even build a monument in your honor." Feeling a sharp pain in his abdomen, Harrison covered his stomach and waved her off. "Alright, t-that's enough. Since it's a deal, y-you name your price, a-and I can negotiate, so let me give you... a one-and-done price." With that, he held up five fingers, resolutely declaring, "50 billion dollars! Not a penny more! Any more, and even if I regain my health, I'll feel miserable. Just thinking about spending hundreds of billions on a single pill might ruin my happiness in old age." The thought of spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a single pill genuinely pained Harrison. Some people, even without money, still acted generous. But some, when they had wealth, became increasingly stingy. Some believ
Harrison initially thought that 100 million dollars was already an astronomical figure and that offering this amount would sufficiently demonstrate his sincerity. However, he never expected that Helena, upon hearing this offer, couldn't even be bothered to negotiate and would turn to leave. He had just felt the tangible effects of the medicine. If one-tenth had such an impact, taking a whole pill would undoubtedly restore him to his former self. He couldn't afford to miss this rare opportunity. So, he quickly called out, "Your Majesty! Whatever the matter is, we can discuss it, b-but why are you leaving?" Helena explained lightly, "I have never liked to negotiate partnerships with ignorant people. If you believe your health is worth only 100 million dollars, then, frankly, what is there left for me to discuss with you? Although I may not have as much money as you, in my view, my health is certainly worth more than that amount." Harrison was rendered speechless. He hadn't ex
Helena didn't give Harrison a chance to resist. She pinched his cheeks on both sides, forcing his mouth to open. Then, she poured the water containing the dissolved Healing Pill directly into his mouth. Harrison was so scared that the blood drained from his face. He wanted to kick and struggle, but he was trembling profusely and couldn't do anything. The thought of Helena trying to poison him gave him a chill to the marrow. He wanted to spit out the water, but Helena didn't give him a chance. While the water was still in his mouth, she threw the glass aside with her other hand, grabbed his chin, and lifted it up, snarling, "Drink it!" The moment Harrison's chin was lifted, his esophagus directly opened. The water, which was not much, went straight down his esophagus into his stomach, and he literally drank it. Harrison's eyes were full of fear at this moment. He thought that he might not even have time to say goodbye before he died. The next second, when he felt a different k
Harrison scoffed when he heard Helena's suggestion. He snapped angrily, "I-I-I have the best medical team in the world, and t-they don't even dare say such a thing. W-Who do you think you are?!" Helena smirked and replied, "Your team can't cure you, but I can." With that, she took out the Healing Pill that Charlie had given her from her purse and said to Harrison, "This pill comes from the ancient and mysterious East. Once you take it, you'll be restored to your former self. To alleviate your concerns, I can let you take one-tenth of it for free before we discuss terms so that you can truly feel its effectiveness. After that, we can discuss the pricing." Harrison, without any hesitation, disdainfully replied, "I-I would never b-b-believe in such a r-ridiculous pill! T-T-This b-bullshit has no scientific ba-a-asis at all!" Helena sneered contemptuously, "If you believe in science so much, why are you afraid of the Qing Eliminating Society? Can they possibly be a match for your
Helena pursed her lips, looked at Harrison, and then looked at Julien, pretending to be hesitant to speak. Despite his paralyzed body, Harrison was still as sly and smart as ever, so he looked at Julien and said, "Julien, clear the room. I want to talk to Her Majesty alone." Knowing that Harrison was trying to give him a boost, Julien immediately said, "Okay, Dad!" After that, he quickly asked the doctor to leave. Before leaving, he turned and said to Harrison, "Dad, you have all the time in the world. Please have a nice chat with Her Majesty. I'll ask everyone to keep a distance of 20 meters from the room. Please rest assured." Harrison nodded in satisfaction and flicked in the air at him twice, motioning for him to leave. Julien gleefully closed the door and promptly urged everyone to stay 20 meters away from the room, including himself. Seeing that the room was clear, Helena cut to the chase. As she looked at Harrison on the bed, she stated, "Mr. Harrison, the main reaso
