The Wilson family prepared two kinds of stuffed dumplings, and they made a lot of them. Based on the number of dumplings they had made, it was enough to feed ten adults, but the Wilson family almost managed to finish all the dumplings.They were so full after the meal that they couldn’t even sit up straight.Staring at the 20 to 30 dumplings left on the table, Lady Wilson prompted them while gesturing, “Hey, any of you, hurry and finish all the dumplings. Don’t waste it!”Caressing his round belly, Christopher whined helplessly, “Oh God, I can’t eat anymore, not even one.”Hannah shook her head too and said, “Mom, I can’t eat anymore, I’m so full right now.”Wendy was so full she didn’t even have the strength to talk. Instead, she slumped on the sofa and waved her hand, indicating her refusal.Harold said, “Grandma, why don’t we keep them in the fridge? We can fry them up and make potstickers for breakfast tomorrow.”Suddenly, Lady Wilson donned a wicked smirk on her face. She s
Harold was in agonizing pain at this moment. “I don’t know what’s going on, my stomach hurts so bad…”At this point, Harold felt stronger energy starting to build up inside his body again, and it was several times more intense than the previous one, rushing downward at an extremely fast speed.Immediately afterward, a loud puff sounded, and a stronger stench instantly exhumed throughout the living room.Christopher reflexively looked under Harold’s buttocks and found that a brownish sticky fluid had leaked out. He shrieked loudly, “D*mn it, Harold, you just pooped your pants!”“What?!” Everyone turned toward Harold simultaneously.It was obvious!There was something disgusting leaking from Harold’s butt!Lady Wilson shouted angrily, “D*mn it, you b*stard, this sofa is imported from Italy!”Harold was equally dumbfounded. He blurted innocently, “I… I… I don’t know what happened! My stomach was hurting, and it hurt so bad, I wanted to fart, then…”Wendy asked in bewilderment, “H
At this moment, the Wilson family had no idea why their stomachs hurt so badly and what was the cause of the severe diarrhea that followed.The narcissus of daffodils was a very strong poison. A very small amount of purified narcissus could be fatal to humans.However, even though the content of the alkaloid in daffodils was relatively small, consuming it in a large volume would trigger significant symptoms of food poisoning, but it would not be life-threatening if the amount was not too much.Regardless, the pain from the food poisoning was definitely not something ordinary people could bear.It not only induced vomiting and diarrhea, but also fever, convulsions, and nervous system disorders.If it was eaten in an unusually large amount, it may even cause shock and death.It was indeed a bit dangerous as everyone in the Wilson family had consumed too much of narcissus. Even Charlie did not expect that they would eat so much when he was drafting his plan.It was often reported i
“Pork? Then you have to ask your mother where she bought it.”Lady Wilson frowned at Hannah and asked in a bitter voice, “Did you go to the black market and buy water-injected pork?”Hannah quickly shook her head. “No! I watched the butcher cut the meat from the pig with my own eyes, there’s absolutely no problem with the pork.”Wendy suggested weakly, “What about the flour? Could it be that something was wrong with the dumpling skin?”Hannah shook her head again. “No, the flour was fine, we ate it in the morning.”If the problem was neither the flour nor the pork, could it be the chives?Hannah gaped in surprise and said, “It must be the chives. Maybe there were pesticide residues on it.”Lady Wilson frowned in disapproval. “No, the chives were freshly cut, that can’t be the problem. Besides, Harold washed them, so he must have washed it all off including the pesticide residues.”Harold said, “Yes! I washed the chives very seriously, I scrubbed every piece of leaf carefully.”
The operator asked in a rather confused and astonished voice, “Wait, what you’re saying is, you went to someone else’s yard and harvested their daffodils, am I right?”“Yes!” Lady Wilson blurted loudly, “He planted daffodils on his fences, and I thought they were chives, so I cut a few handfuls and ate it, but then got poisoned. Tell me, he committed a crime, didn’t he?”The operator sighed and explained, “I’m sorry, Ma’am, our law does not prohibit any citizen from planting daffodils in their yard, so it is absolutely fine for him to do so. The point is, why did you go to someone else’s yard and take their daffodils simply because you assumed they were chives? You could be arrested for trespassing and stealing.”“What the hell?!” Lady Wilson shouted into the phone, agitated and furious, “I am lying in the hospital right now because of food poisoning, and yet I’m the one being charged?!”The operator asked sternly, “If someone comes to your house, steals your car, and then dies in
The remark was like a stone that was thrown into a calm lake that subsequently created a thousand ripples.The Wilson family was exceptionally dumbfounded.Hannah was pregnant?What the f*ck was this?!Among the four members of the Wilson family, Christopher was the most shocked upon receiving the bombshell of news!He knew very clearly that he had just done the deed with Hannah two days ago. They had been separated for a long time previously when she was stuck in the coal mine, thus, he had not seen her since.Besides, there was another incident that he remembered clearly.When she was planning to scam Elaine, she had been on her period. He remembered that she complained to him about it, whining that she had gotten her period at the wrong time.This indicated that she was not pregnant when she disappeared.And yet now she was pregnant?!What did it prove? It proved that she had gotten pregnant during her disappearance.That was to say, this shameless sl*t had slept with oth
Taking in his mother’s interrogative questioning, Christopher stared at the content of the report and nodded with a gloomy face.Seeing his nod, Lady Wilson felt an abrupt sharp pain in her chest. She clutched her chest tightly and wailed in agony.Harold and Wendy were very embarrassed as the scene unfolded. They didn’t know what to say or do at an awkward moment like this. After all, that was their own mother, there were no words that could describe how they felt at this moment.Christopher ground his teeth and glared at Hannah with his bloodshot eyes as if he would pound on her at any second and eat her up. He shouted furiously, “B*tch! Did you f*cking sleep with other men in the coal mine?! Who was he?!”Hannah was on the verge of collapse now.She had already made an appointment with the obstetrics and gynecology doctor for an abortion surgery next Monday. No one would have known about her pregnancy if she had just done the abortion quietly.However, it was beyond her imag
Moreover, Lady Wilson was a conservative and old-fashioned elder. In her opinion, a woman as shameless and unruly as Hannah should be punished by death as a lesson to others.Seeing the shocking scene as Christopher and Lady Wilson beat Hannah violently, the doctor shrieked in shock and shouted, “Hey, stop! Stop right this instant! I’ll call the police!”Neither of them felt threatened by the doctor’s warning and continued beating Hannah, thus, the doctor turned to Harold and Wendy and blurted, “Don’t just stand there, do something! Are you really going to just stand there and watch your mother get beaten?”Both Harold and Wendy watched the scene coldly, there was even a trace of resentment in their eyes.Under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t let such an absurd scene happen. They would come forward and mediate the situation when there was a conflict between their parents.But this time, the situation was too bizarre and outrageous.They were embarrassed and humiliated by the
Later, after Charlie told Jeremiah over the phone about the joint venture with the Ackers to establish Curtis Autos, the old man was awash with tears, especially after Charlie told him that it was Keith who suggested it. After all, Curtis was his favorite son whose death he could never really get over. Moreover, he once believed that only his family mourned Curtis while the Ackers never did, and he held a grudge over his son's passing. As such, he was surprised that Keith held such great respect toward his late son and didn't hesitate to say yes when Charlie invited him to Aurous Hill to sign an agreement with the Ackers.Still, Charlie wasn't in a hurry to arrange for a specific time, and he was going to let the Ackers sort out the human resources of Godot Autos over a few days. It still wouldn't be too late by then.Moreover, he was keen to allow the buzz to have time to grow so that the automotive industry would be astounded by the joint project between the Ackers and the Wade
Christian was the first to exclaim in approval, "Yes! Curtis Autos sounds wonderful! It has my vote!""Seconded!" Kaiden nodded, pumping the air with his right fist. "I've looked up to Curtis the most, and I absolutely agree with naming the company after him!"Jaxson was nodding too. "Me too!""Yes!" Lulu chirped.Yolden couldn't help agreeing as well. "Curtis Autos is definitely a good name!"Merlin raised his hand gingerly as well. "Quit it with your flattery already," Keith chuckled, and he turned toward Charlie solemnly. "In the end, Curtis is Charlie's father, and the final decision goes to him!"Charlie's eyes were welling up with tears—his parents had been gone for almost three decades, yet he had never thought of dedicating anything to their memory.As such, Keith's suggestion to use Curtis's name for the car company left him thrilled. After all, wouldn't his father's soul be honored if Curtis Autos rocked the country, maybe even the world?With that in mind, he nodd
Charlie also had to agree that this was an opportunity to formally reconcile the Wades and the Ackers.While he couldn't reveal himself just yet, the Wades and the Ackers had been in-laws for years. Even if they had had a dispute for the longest time, restoring good relations made sense now that the Ackers had come to Oskia, and it wouldn't arouse any suspicion.That was why Charlie agreed to it without hesitation, even making a mental note to invite his paternal grandfather, Jeremiah, to Aurous Hill.The old geezers could meet up and clear the air while deciding on the partnership.Yolden was prepared to resign as a professor as well so that he could help the Ackers and Charlie fully develop their automotive company.With a general direction planned, he asked everyone, "Since we're creating a new brand, has anyone come up with a name?"No one was feeling inspired at that moment, but that was when Lulu, who had been silent throughout, said, "Since Charlie and our family are worki
Neither Charlie nor the Ackers expected Yolden's insight to cover all corners.In fact, it felt like the man had a blueprint ready and was only waiting for the time to put it to use.That was why everyone was immensely approving of Yolden and wanted no other man for the job of CEO.Kaeden smiled, "Well, since everyone has agreed, let's put this to rest as soon as possible—this will be a joint investment between our family and the Wades, and Professor Hart will take the post of CEO. Let's all do our best to make this a good one!"Yolden also made up his mind, deciding that he didn't want to let slip a chance to realize his ambitions. "I'll resign from the university after my honeymoon trip. It probably shouldn't be long, and I can get involved in early preparations via teleconference."Charlie nodded. "Then, we can have Uncle Kaeden stay on schedule while I'll ask the Wades to send a representative over to sign a memorandum for the investment."Keith smiled and nodded. "You should
Charlie hadn't been born and raised in Aurous Hill, but he still started living here at the age of eight and was more attached to this place than Eastcliff.If he was going to take part in this automotive investment with the Ackers, he naturally found Aurous Hill the ideal location.Not only would it create a huge number of jobs for Aurous Hill, but it would also rake in much economic flow for the region.Yolden also nodded at his suggestion. "If the first plant is meant to cover the demand of the entire local market, there's no reason for a coastal plant. Aurous Hill stands at an intersection between the north and the south, so transportation is convenient. It's also killing two birds with one stone, as Mr. Wade is fond of the city."Charlie couldn't help but agree. "I won't lie—Aurous Hill has been good to me, and I hope to give back. Nothing's better than succeeding in that respect."Yolden spread his hands, "Heavy industries are certainly ideal to contribute to Aurous Hill's e
Yolden had actually been researching new energy for a while—in fact, it was when Tesla's first car models were produced.He was passionate about the subject and had his own opinions as well as ambitions, but he was busy teaching, so he couldn't realize any of it.But was this not a golden opportunity tailor-made for him?Seeing that Yolden was clearly interested, Charlie turned toward Kaeden, "Actually, the professor is getting married soon. There's no way we'd split up newlyweds so soon after the wedding, right? So, is it possible to set up base in Aurous Hill instead?""Not a problem!" Kaeden replied without hesitation. "Our family is planning to return to Oskia anyway, and everyone knows about Ashley and Curtis. So, why don't we invest in this enterprise alongside the Wades and have the base set up in Aurous Hill? And then bring Godot under as a subsidiary?"Turning to Yolden, he continued, "By the way, Godot's plant is already in the province—barely 100 miles from Aurous Hill,
Pausing, Yolden continued, "Moreover, the greatest advantage of AI is that it is self-conscious and has the processing power to analyze astronomical proportions of data. As car sales grow, every car owner's driving data will add precious new data to our data vault, and it will be processed by AI for even greater space of imagination."For example, kst's say I experienced a bumpiness along a certain road, and when the sensors pick up on that anomaly, the data will be uploaded to the servers along with images of the road condition in real time. The processing AI module would determine in no time at all that there was damage and label said location on the map, and then forward the data to other vehicles close to that location, sending notifications when they are close enough and providing the appropriate advice for countermeasures."Naturally, the AI can even be refined further so that it immediately warns us to slow down while uploading the data to the servers and informing any cars cl
Yolden's mind short-circuited at those words. "The most advanced AI module?!"He had been working on Wall Street for years, having invested in substantial startup tech companies as well as assisting plenty of Nasdaq tech enterprises with their IPO. That was why he especially had a sharp six sense for cutting-edge technology.It had been a while since he had gotten up the saddle, and AI had just become the trend recently, but he still paid close attention. He was well aware what applications were possible for AI modules, but he was shocked that Charlie already possessed what all the online giants were coveting!Thrilled, he quickly asked Charlie, "Can the Rothschilds resolve all the hardware and software issues? High-processing power display cards are a dime a dozen these days, and local enterprises are all planning to sell them one by one. The demand is just that high!"Charlie chuckled. "Don't worry—the Rothschilds will handle both issues for me, even the data centers. We bought i
Keith, who had been silent throughout, waved him off as he said solemnly, "Please don't sell yourself short, Professor Hart. I'm sure you can do well in this position, but it's still a matter of will."If your heart is truly set on educating future generations, then I'm sure you'd reject our offer no matter what we say."However, if you felt the slightest interest, even anticipation, for such a major project, then you really should consider our offer."We've already invested in Godot Autos for 3 billion USD and over 10 billion if we're counting in Ricebolt. But we still have 30 billion more in capital available—and that means it's 40 billion USD at play."I doubt any other global car maker can afford that much, let alone a new car maker. So, I dare say that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"Keith's words spoke to Yolden's very soul—a startup capital of forty billion US dollars was certainly unprecedented for electric-powered vehicles. Even Ricebolt had barely garnered ove
