“What the hell?”When Francis’s mother heard this, everything turned dark in front of her eyes!One hundred million dollars? What was this?Even if the other party had one million dollars, he would already be a very incredible rich man in her eyes. If he had ten million dollars, he would be a big and powerful figure that they could not afford to offend. If he had one hundred million dollars, he would be a god!What’s more, they did not just have a net worth of one hundred million dollars but they were actually driving two cars worth more than one hundred million dollars!As she thought about this, she hurriedly asked, “Are you telling me the truth? Are these two weird-looking cars really worth so much money?”Francis nodded as he tried to pull his mother up and said, “Do you think that I’d lie to you? Do you think that I don’t want a new house? But in this case, how can we even try to force it? Our family will suffer and be in deep shit if we offend a big and powerful figure!”F
Vera Wang was the world’s most famous wedding dress designer.Her full name was Vera Ellen Wang.Even the daughter of the former President Clinton of the United States wore a wedding dress designed by her when she got married.David Beckham’s wife, Victoria, had also worn a wedding dress designed by Vera Wang when she married David Beckham. Even the famous Britney Spears and the granddaughter of the Macau Gambling King wore the wedding dresses designed by her to the wedding hall.With Vera Wang’s international influence, she would generally only open stores in the largest top cities around the world. The reason why she decided to open her store in Aurous Hill, which was a second-tier city, was mainly because she had a very good personal relationship with Jasmine. Jasmine really loved all of her wedding dresses’ designs. So, Jasmine was also very willing to invest in her shop.Vera Wang specialized in designing wedding dresses. Generally speaking, the price of any random wedding dr
Since Claire was so good to her, Magnolia felt that Claire would definitely not harm her in any way.Charlie drove the car directly to Jasmine’s bridal shop.Even Claire was a little surprised when he stopped the car.She had just asked him to look for a friend so they could borrow a better wedding dress from them. However, she really did not expect him to be able to borrow a wedding dress here!This was the store owned by the world’s top wedding dress designer, Vera Wang!Even Claire did not dare to expect to have the opportunity to wear such a top and luxurious wedding dress.Moreover, she really did not expect her husband to be so resourceful even in this area.Could it be that the bridal shop also requested for Charlie’s help to look at their Feng Shui?As she was deep in thoughts, Charlie had already pushed his car door open as he got out of the car.At this time, a tall, charming and noble woman walked out of the bridal shop. Claire realized that she knew who this woman
Claire and Magnolia were both a little nervous as they wondered whether they should go in at this time.Both of them knew very well that this brand of wedding dresses was very expensive. Moreover, it was by no means affordable for ordinary people.It would already cost them about tens of thousands of dollars to rent a high-end custom wedding dress at any general bridal shop.These wedding dresses were designed by Vera Wang and it would cost them at least six figures to rent any one of their wedding dresses for a day.If they were to buy one of these wedding dresses, then it would be even more expensive and it would cost at least several million dollars!Magnolia felt that she was not worthy of such an expensive wedding dress. Even if she were to just touch the wedding dress, she was afraid that she would not be able to afford to repay the other party for the wedding dress if she damaged it.So, how could she possibly dare to attend her wedding in such an expensive wedding dress?
Claire helped her choose a very beautiful wedding dress with a tube top. After that, she said, “I think this one suits you very well. It is very dignified and elegant and it will also reveal your collarbone, which is very temperamental.”Magnolia hesitated for a moment before she said, “We’ll just go with your suggestion then. I really don’t know how to choose…”Jasmine smiled as she said, “Mrs. Wade has very good taste. This wedding dress had the highest ratings and preference here. I too think that this wedding dress suits Miss Zevell’s figure and temperament very well.”Immediately after that, Jasmine asked two very professional bridal shop assistants to come over. Both of them immediately took the wedding dress before they respectfully led Magnolia to the fitting room.After a few minutes, Magnolia came out wearing a white and elegant wedding dress with a tube top. She felt a little unnatural as she walked out of the fitting room.Claire’s eyes lit up immediately as she exclai
Claire suddenly felt jealous at this moment.She guessed that Jasmine must have had a very good impression of her husband, Charlie.Otherwise, she would not be looking at her husband like this.This made Claire suddenly realize that she and her husband were not close and intimate enough. That was the reason why there was still a certain distance between them.This distance would make it especially easy for a third party to intervene in their relationship.If they both had very close and deep feelings for one another and if their hearts were close to one another, then it would be naturally impossible for them to leave any gaps for a third party to interfere in their relationship.As she thought about this, Claire suddenly felt an unprecedented impulse.At this moment, Charlie saw that Claire was still in a daze and he said to her quickly, “Dear, we have to leave quickly or we’ll be late.”Claire only recovered her senses then before she nodded unnaturally and said hurriedly, “Th
At this time, Draco’s father who was standing aside also said, “Draco, you should really listen to your parents regarding this matter. The most important thing when you’re getting married is to find a bride from a family that is an appropriate match with us in terms of social status. The Scotson family might not be a very wealthy or powerful family but we also have a net worth of tens of millions of dollars. Among our family, relatives, and friends, our family is considered the wealthiest of all. If you listen to me and find another young lady who is equally matched or even richer than our family, then the strength of our family will be even more outstanding in the Scotson family.”Having said this, his father sighed regretfully as he said, “You’re such a disobedient child. You could have looked for any young woman but you found a woman who comes from such a poor family. Wouldn’t our relatives and friends treat us as a laughing stock then?”Draco felt incomparable pain and suffering
The pitiful Draco did not even know what kind of plot his parents were hatching at this time.He was still waiting for his most beloved woman to appear.However, as time passed, he also began to feel a little worried.He was not afraid that Magnolia would change her mind. However, he was just afraid that Magnolia’s parents would not agree to let her marry him today.At this time, there was the roaring sound of a super sports car on the road.Every one of the Scotson family’s relatives and friends were all attracted to the beast-like roaring sound.Then, someone shouted, “F*ck! It turns out to be the Bugatti Veyron!”“Seriously!” Draco’s cousin, Hans Scotson, looked at the Bugatti Veyron that was approaching in the distance as he said in amazement, “This is a Hermes limited edition Bugatti Veyron and there is only one of this car available in this whole country! I saw this car at the Aurous Hill International Automobile Show some time ago. It is said that a mysterious and wealthy
"That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega
In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega
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
