Therefore, he must help Yule solve the problem, and only then could he leave Eastcliff and return to Aurous. Seeing that Yule agreed to his request, he sighed with relief, picked up the wine glass and exclaimed, “Come, Charlie. Let’s have a toast!” Charlie nodded and clinked glasses with him again. Seeing the two men drinking happily, Rachel told Quinn in a low voice, “Your dad hasn’t been this happy for a long while.” Quinn also nodded and replied near her mother’s ear, “It seems that ever since Uncle Wade had an accident till now, he had never been this happy.” Rachel held her daughter’s hand under the table and softly uttered, “Charlie is a good man. You must keep hold of him!” Feeling shy and embarrassed, Quinn answered, “Mum…How do I keep hold of him…Charlie is already married and he isn’t divorced yet at this moment.” Rachel replied seriously, “Silly child. He was your fiancé since you were a child. Someone snatched your husband away, not the ot
Charlie did not care too much about the luck and fortune of the Wade’s family and the moving of the ancestral grave. He was not very interested in the members and affairs of the Wade family. All these while, he only cared two things about the Wade family. Number one, where his parents were buried and whether he could pay homage to them. Number two, for whom did his parents suffer and if they were from the Wade family. As for the other matters in the Wade family, he did not want to keep them in his mind. Therefore, after listening to Yule’s introduction on Mount Wintry, Charlie asked, “Uncle, can I go to Mount Wintry to worship?” Yule answered, “Mount Wintry is the Wade family’s ancestral grave. It’s the main spot for good luck and fortune. Normally, the Wade family controls the area strictly and outsiders aren’t allowed to enter. Even if I go, I’ll need to greet the Wade family’s members first and make an appointment. However, since you’re the heir of t
From the looks of Charlie’s parents, they were certainly different from ordinary people. Charlie’s father was very handsome, while Charlie’s mother was very elegant. Her features were exceptionally beautiful and Rachel was no match for her. No matter which era, she would be the only one with very outstanding features.It was a pity that Eastcliff’s talented and capable pair had already long gone. The only things left were mottled images and surviving memories. At that time, Yule had not married yet. Thus, during the wedding ceremony, he stood alone beside Charlie’s father and took a photo with Charlie’s parents. Then, it was the wedding photo of Yule and Rachel. Charlie’s parents were there to congratulate him. Thus, the four of them took a group photo. Next, Charlie was born. The four people in the photo became five. He was swaddled and carried by his mum. Afterward, Quinn was born. As a result, it became six people in the photo. From
At this moment, in the top ward of Golding Group Hospital, the second and third brothers of the Yule family, Adrian and Rogan, had received the first stage of treatment after taking the CT on the affected area. The CT showed that Adrian’s wrist was broken, while Rogan’s bladder was damaged. Although those were not life-threatening, they need to be treated for a while. This was all thanks to Charlie. Golding Group Hospital was a top private hospital that the Golding family had invested in. Although the overall ability was not as good as top tier hospitals like Fairview, it was definitely a leader among the private hospitals. All the top families in Eastcliff had their own private hospitals. Although these hospitals on paper were open to the public, in most circumstances, they did not accept outside patients. Basically, they were exclusively for internal family use only. Now, besides Adrian and Rogan, people who were chased out from Yule’s home by
Nevertheless, shouldn’t the master who retired from the world follow certain basic rules? So, how in the world did someone lose their power just by being pinched on the neck?It was like touching someone in the face and turning them impotent. This defied logic!The two families were saddened and were looking for an opportunity to teach the eldest brother’s son a lesson, but they don’t know his name and have no idea what his background was.The most important fact was that both the warlord and the realm master couldn’t even defeat him. Who else can they ask for help to get rid of this person?Adrian was depressed because he had lost not only a warlord and a realm master but Charlie had also broken his arm. This can be said to be a heavy loss on his side.Adrian had never once felt so helpless. Now, he just wanted to murder Charlie’s entire family.Unfortunately, he had no idea how he could exact his revenge.Rogan was clutching his aching bladder as he saw his second brother fran
When Adrian and Rogan were planning for their better future, Wrigley and Wilhelm, who were by their side, were also drowning in their own thoughts.The three Golding brothers had eight children in total.Yule Golding only had a daughter, Quinn Golding.Meanwhile, Adrian had three children—two daughters and a son, Wrigley Golding.Rogan Golding, on the other hand, had four children—three daughters and a son, Wilhelm Golding.Due to the fact that males were rare in the family, Wrigley and Wilhelm would therefore be the family heirs to inherit their fathers’ property in the future.Wilhelm saw the close relationship between his father and his second uncle, and couldn’t help but look at himself and his cousin Wrigley who was standing next to him. He thought to himself, ‘When I inherit my father’s assets and shares in the future, would I have to be like my father? As in, do I need to find a way to cheat my second uncle? Cheat my own cousin? If I need to use him in the future to achiev
“No problem!” Wrigley replied without hesitation.He had been insulted by Charlie today and he was in a depressed mood. Unexpectedly Wilhelm presented him with an opportunity to vent his anger. Of course he would agree to it immediately…In the evening, Wilhelm and Wrigley came walking out of the hospital. They drove a car to an extremely high-end club in Eastcliff, which was very popular and known as The Number One Mansion.At The Number One Mansion, one has to at least spend ten million dollars to become a VIP.This is because the VIPs here had their own luxurious suites, which includes access to restaurants, KTV, bath house, hot springs, spa services, meeting rooms, and gambling rooms.Additionally, the VIPs also had their own personal butlers and personal attendants. When one was there, they could enjoy living the life of a king!It would be fair to say that most of the members who were there could eat, drink, and play plus also hold business meetings and banquets.Moreover,
The brothers had just left the hospital about half an hour ago, and now both of them hastily made their way back into the hospital again. They wanted to find out what the weird sickness they were facing was. They only trusted their house doctor and it was also to avoid the spreading of unnecessary rumors if they were to ever check themselves into other hospitals.If their followers were to hear the news of the two Golding brothers both being impotent, this would bring shame to their respective families!If this rumor was spread, then they will become the talk of the town and people will be ridiculing them throughout Eastcliff!The two of them returned to the hospital, ignoring their fathers who were recuperating in their room, and immediately rushed directly into the hospital director’s office.The director was preparing to call it a day and suddenly saw the two young masters of the Golding family pacing quickly towards him. He asked immediately, “Good day Mr. Wrigley and Mr. Wilhe
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
