Charlie felt quite helpless and forlorn when it came to Jasmine.He didn’t expect that she would be so attentive to him, but at the same time, he was surprised to find her so stubborn.He didn’t intend to stir her feelings but things still happened when he had least expected them to.He was partially responsible for the deep affection she had for him, but he knew clearly that it was impossible to resolve this matter overnight, so he could only say, “I think it’s best if we give each other some time, let’s talk about this later.”Jasmine glanced at him anxiously and asked in a soft voice, “Will you ignore me from now on? Will you keep your distance from me and alienate me?”Charlie smiled and said, “Why would I? There’s no way I will avoid and ignore you simply because you confessed your feelings to me. I’m not that kind of person.”Jasmine heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Actually, I’ve already prepared myself mentally for the fact that it may take a long time to realize this d

After getting off the car, Charlie stood in place as he watched Jasmine drive away, then remained standing for more than ten seconds before turning around and walking through the Thompson First gate.When he returned to his own house, Claire had already finished her night shower and was lying on the bed reading a book.She smiled at the sight of Charlie and asked, “How was your friend’s birthday party?”Charlie felt a little awkward and replied in an uneasy tone, “Oh, the party, it was nice…”Claire didn’t know that it was actually Jasmine’s birthday because Charlie didn’t tell her about it as he didn’t want Claire to overthink the whole thing.Claire, on the other hand, didn’t notice any difference in Charlie. Instead, she put the book down, looked at Charlie, and said in a rather timid voice, “Dear, can I ask you a favor, please?”Charlie uttered, “You don’t have to be so formal with me, dear. I’ll do anything for you, go ahead, spill it.”Claire said, “My high school friend i

Meanwhile, Jasmine had returned to the Moore family mansion. On the way back, she blushed shyly and her heart was thumping vigorously when she recalled the bold kiss she gave Charlie.Frankly speaking, Jasmine was not the kind of woman who would take the initiative in a relationship.She had countless suitors since she was young, but she had never liked any of these suitors.In fact, she hadn’t even liked anyone before she met Charlie.Even she herself did not expect that she would spiral out of control after falling in love with Charlie.As the young lady of the number one family in Aurous Hill, if the news about the kiss were to spread, she would soon become the laughing stock of the entire city.After all, in public’s opinion, they shunned the unreserved idea of a girl throwing herself at a man.Moreover, it was her first kiss that she had kept for twenty-six years and she gave it to Charlie.However, Jasmine had no regrets at all. At the same time, she decided firmly th

Moreover, they were at their wits’ end after Lord Moore had totally recovered from his terminal illness and was now as healthy as a middle-aged man. This meant that he would live for another ten to twenty years.Jasmine might be green and inexperienced now, but with the dedication and hope Lord Moore placed on her, as well as his protection and security, it was no doubt that Jasmine would be able to establish herself as the reliable head of the family in a few years’ time.By that time, it would be very difficult to overthrow her.It was a well-known fact from history that whenever the noble dynasties were vying to claim the throne, the best time for an insurgency was when the new emperor was on the throne with a weak foundation of power.For example, Zhu Di of the Ming Dynasty rose to rebellion against his nephew, the Jianwen Emperor, who had recently ascended the throne, and successfully overthrew the newly-elected emperor.However, their current problem was that Jasmine was not

At this moment, late at night at the Eastcliff International Airport, the private jet that Dylan Koch was in landed at the airport.Throughout the flight, Dylan was on edge after swallowing the ruby necklace.He was afraid that the necklace would cause intestinal obstruction in his digestive system and that he would be in grave danger. Luckily, he landed safely in Eastcliff.As soon as the plane landed, it immediately taxied down the runway to the hangar where an ambulance was already waiting.The Koch family was very powerful and wealthy in Eastcliff with a net worth of at least five hundred billion dollars. Not only did they have their own team of medical doctors and specialists but they also had their own private hospital.The ambulance that had come to pick him up at the airport was from the Koch family’s hospital.On the ambulance were the vice president of the hospital and a number of gastroenterologists.These experts were particularly nervous when they heard that Dylan h

Dylan got steamed up about the doctor’s question!Charlie’s smug face appeared in his mind again and he couldn’t wait to wipe that stupid smile off his face as well as kill him now!And then there was Isaac!He was so rude and cruel that he even recorded a video to blackmail him and threatened him into swallowing the ruby necklace!If it wasn’t for his threat, he wouldn’t have swallowed the necklace!Did that b*stard really think he owned the world simply because he had the Wade family backing him up? What an outrage!Dylan glared at the doctor and scoffed angrily, “Mind your own f*cking business! If any stupid words come out of your mouth again, I’ll f*cking kill you!”The doctor quickly shut his mouth. Although Dylan was not the strongest one of them all in the Koch family as the third son of the family, he was not someone to be on bad terms with.The ambulance sped off to the hospital and upon arriving at the hospital, Dylan was immediately pushed into the CT scan room.The

The doctors and nurses who worked in the Koch family’s hospital knew how well off they were, so they would grab any chance they could to curry favor with the family members.It was beyond the nurse’s wildest dreams that the third young master of the Koch family would be attracted to her, it was like a Cinderella dream came true.Even just a one-night stand would guarantee her a comfortable life as promised by Mr. Koch, but what if she was pregnant with his child after the intercourse? Wouldn’t it mean that she would be able to get from zero to hero with the child in her belly?This was also the reason why many celebrities would, by all means, choose to become the mistress of a rich tycoon or even bear the tycoon a child! It was simply because they wanted to have their own version of the rags-to-riches story.Upon hearing his seductive proposal, the nurse nodded immediately without hesitation and said with a pasty and coquettish voice, “Mr. Koch, I’ll do whatever you want me to!”D

The nurse grabbed a pillow to cover her body and said in an aggrieved tone, “Mr. Koch, don’t you sling mud at me. If it weren’t for you, why would I betray my boyfriend? My boyfriend and I share a very affectionate relationship…”Dylan cursed furiously. “You have a boyfriend?”The nurse cried, “Yes, my boyfriend and I have been together for several years and we’ve even planned to get married this year. If he knows about this, it would be the end for me …”Dylan gritted his teeth in agitation while Leonard glared at the nurse with a dark face and said, “I’ll give you five million, get out of this room and this hospital right now.”When the nurse heard that she would get five million, she nodded profusely, quickly grabbed her uniform and put it on her, and ran out with a grin on her face.At this moment, the doctors came to tend to Dylan’s grandmother who fell on the floor, and took her away for examination.Dylan’s grandfather and father followed them, leaving Sylvia, Dylan’s moth

Helena waved her hand dismissively. "You don't have to. As you mentioned, procuring the hardware for the AI models comes with its own costs. I'd rather take a loss myself than let you suffer. After all, you're already of such an age, and having had a stroke once before. If you end up losing something and it affects your mood, leading to a relapse, wouldn't that make me the bad guy?" "No, no, no!" Harrison, ignoring the subtle mockery, hurried over to Helena with great urgency and reassured, almost desperately, "Buying the hardware for Your Majesty is something we should do. Please accept it." As he said it, he lamented with regret, "Your Highness, I'm old, and my mindset is molded in the conservative mode because of decades of experience, and bargaining is one of them. Nevertheless, please rest assured that we will never again bargain when doing business with you." After experiencing the powerful effect of the Healing Pill, Harrison keenly realized that the pill must be a life-sa

Harrison immediately caught the implication in her words and, with a smile, said, "Your Majesty, you are truly a brilliant negotiator. I've never seen someone so young yet able to control the pace of negotiations so skillfully! With you at the helm, the Nordic royal family is sure to soar to new heights!" Helena smiled and said, "You think too highly of me. I can control the rhythm well because I have a good mentor." "I wonder who your mentor is?" Harrison asked curiously. "I would like to meet him if there is a chance." Helena said lightly, "My mentor prefers to act with a low profile and isn't fond of the vanity that comes with fame, but I believe that you will have the opportunity to meet him in the future." "That would be wonderful!" Harrison replied with a beam. Helena then said, "It's getting late. I'll take my leave now." Harrison nodded. As he saw Helena turn to leave, he remembered something and hurriedly called after her, "Hold on, Your Majesty!" "Yes, Mr. Roths

Seeing Harrison with his head down in deep thought, Helena knew he definitely wouldn't follow the original plan to pass the position of family head to Julien. Sure enough, Harrison lifted his head with a chuckle and said, "Your Majesty, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to New York and attend my family meeting to establish the heir. Your presence truly brings us great honor!" Feigning a surprised expression, Helena asked, "Aren't we going to announce Julien's succession today? Why have you changed your mind?" Harrison waved her off and, with a slightly embarrassed smile, said, "Plans can't keep up with changes, and changes always outpace plans. Until this morning, I never imagined I could regain my health. Don't you think so?" Helena smiled slightly. "Your recovery is partly due to Julien's devotion, which seems to have touched God himself." Despite what she said, she couldn't help mumbling under her breath, "Harrison really did change his mind,

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
