“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
Hannah was instantly infuriated when even her own husband urged her to jump off the building! She pointed at him furiously and shouted, “Hey, Christopher, b*stard, don’t you forget who has been standing behind you all this while, supporting you, assisting you, and taking care of you! Just because I betrayed you in order to survive, you want me to die! Are you still human?”Christopher ground his teeth in great dismay. “Argh, enough with your bullsh*t! You should be thankful that we are not in the medieval era, otherwise, I would kill you myself right this instant! You cheated on me, you shameless sl*t!”Lady Wilson was heartbroken to see the agonizing grimace on her son’s face, and she slammed her crutches toward Hannah as she cursed, “Christopher has never been so angry all his life, look at what you’ve done, you b*tch!”Hannah yelped in pain when she was hit by the crutches. She glared at the old woman and sneered, “Hey, smelly old dog, if it weren’t for me getting the Webb family
Everyone blinked in surprise. “Kobayashi Pharma? Why would you want to negotiate with them? Isn’t it a Japanese company?”Donald answered, “I received news some time ago that Kobayashi Pharma was one of Charlie’s victims too, and they have always wanted to expand their business to Oskia, but there has been a lack of good timing and opportunity.”“If the control of Weaver Pharmaceuticals is in my hand, I can go and strike a deal with Kobayashi so that they can enter the Oskian market more quickly and efficiently.”“At the same time, I’m sure Kobayashi will want to work with me to deal with Charlie. After settling the score with Charlie, Weavers and Kobayashi will cooperate in death and make more money in the process. It’s like killing two birds with one stone, it’s an awesome plan, right?”Damien and Dawson gaped in awe and said flatteringly, “Wow, Donald, you really have the foresight! This way, we not only will have a strong ally but also a very promising revenue channel!”Donald
At this time, Donald was thinking of asking this family to get out of the villa at Thompson First so they could just fend for themselves.However, as he put some careful thought into it, he felt unwilling to do so.He opened his mouth and said to everyone, “I know what you’re thinking right now. All of you feel that this family is really too lowly and isn’t capable of doing anything at all. However, just think about it—if they can disgust me today, then they would probably be able to disgust Charlie tomorrow. The problem now is that this family’s thoughts and efforts are not directed toward one goal now. As long as they are united, I believe they would still have their combat effectiveness!”Damien could not help but ask: “Brother, how can we unite this family? Hannah is pregnant with another man’s child now, so how would Christopher possibly still be willing to be united with her? Don’t forget about that old lady too! She isn’t easy to deal with!”Donald replied coldly, “If we can
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
