Among these, men would get most points deducted if they had an illegitimate child outside.In a big family marriage, both men and women from these wealthy and prestigious families have all been spoiled by their parents since young. Which young lady would be willing to marry someone who has an illegitimate child and become a stepmother? That would be impossible.Even when Quinn met Charlie again, she attached great importance to this matter. How could she be willing to be a stepmother at such a young age when she was the young lady of a big and prestigious family?As Adrian wanted his son to maintain his competitiveness, he had also been repeatedly warning him that he was allowed to fool around outside, but he should never have any children outside.At that time, he never would have thought that his son would lose his fertility one day!This was great now. He was not only infertile and his sperm survival rate was zero, but he also got rid of his illegitimate child. Wouldn’t this me
As he did not dare to cause any delay to their plans to seize power at the board of directors meeting tomorrow, Adrian decided that no matter what it was, he had to endure this tonight.At the same time, he immediately offered a lot of money to the dean of the hospital to look for some top experts specializing in the related field from the United States. He wanted to see if they could come over and try to see if they could cure them using any medical means and methods.It would be best if they could do so. Then, there would be no need for them to ask for that young lad’s help. They could just kill him!If they could not do so…That would be a little tricky. In order to ensure the continuation of their descendants, he might even be willing to kneel down in front of that young lad and beg for mercy!Adrian felt very uncomfortable when he thought about Charlie’s arrogant face.Rogan asked in a low voice, “Second Brother, do you think that the young lad will be attending the board of
“Alright then. I’ll wait for you here!”***At this moment, Charlie and Yule’s family had just finished dinner. After that, Yule dragged Charlie to accompany him to drink some liquor with him before he finally returned to the guest room that Rachel had prepared for him. After taking a bath, he lay down on his bed to rest.At this time, Claire called him and asked him, “Husband, are you making any progress in Eastcliff?”Charlie smiled as he said, “It’s not that bad. Everything is going well and I should be able to get everything done in three days’ time.”“That’s good.” Claire hummed and said with concern, “You have to take good care of yourself when you are outside. After all, you’re so far away from home.”Charlie felt a little touched deep in his heart and he smiled as he said, “Don’t worry, my dear wife. I’m an adult now and I know how to look after myself. I’ll return home immediately after I’m done with my work here.”“Okay.” Claire smiled before she said, “By the way, hus
At nightfall in Eastcliff, Kenneth sat in his Rolls-Royce as it was speeding on the street at night.He was extremely excited and filled with emotions at this time.After all, he had received an invitation from Rogan, who was the third son of the Golding family.Although Rogan ranked last in the family and did not have much real power, he was still a direct heir of the Golding family after all. Both Rogan’s social status and the assets that he owned were much stronger compared to Kenneth.Therefore, Kenneth desperately tried to flatter him, hoping that he would be able to win his favor and use his connections with him to build up a direct relationship with the Golding family.Although Kenneth did not know why Rogan was looking for him, the fact that Rogan had actually taken the initiative to look for him was already a vast improvement in itself.Twenty minutes later, when Kenneth arrived at Golding Group Hospital, Rogan’s son, Wilhelm, was already waiting for him at the entrance.
Rogan exchanged glances with his brother, Adrian. After that, he hurriedly asked, “Kenneth, could you tell me how you lost your potency and became impotent? What happened to you?”Kenneth replied awkwardly, “Mr. Golding…you…you…why are you so concerned over this matter? To be honest, it is not that I don’t want to tell you about it. However, this sort of thing is really too shameful and embarrassing to be discussed!”Adrian who had not spoken up at all suddenly said, “Mr. Wilson, please do not feel any psychological burden. To be honest, the reason why we’ve looked for you today is simply for the honest exchange of information between patients. It would be much easier and more convenient for us to gather more clues if we share and exchange information with one another, right?”“Huh?!”Kenneth was dumbfounded.Information exchange between patients?What did he mean?Was he implying that these two brothers had also lost their potency and were impotent now?No way!These two were
Kenneth was also very shocked and surprised. He could not help but sigh as he said, “Speaking of which, Charlie is really a f*cking mysterious person. He simply muttered a few words that day, and I was confused and did not know what was happening at all after that…”Having said that, Kenneth could not help but be reminded of his tragic experience in Aurous Hill.First, he was beaten up by Charlie. After that, he was deprived of his ability to be a man and that was not the worst thing yet!The worst thing was when he had mistakenly believed in that old man with the last name Weaver and had eaten the supposedly magical medicine produced by the Weaver family. That medicine did not only fail to help him regain his former glory, but it also caused his penis to start rotting completely.In the end, he had finally managed to keep his own penis after receiving treatment from Charlie.As for Charlie’s treatment for him to keep his own penis, that was a whole different kind of suffering too
Kenneth replied, “I was pondering and I felt that although the metaphysics theory could be relatively true, it’s a much more holistic approach. For instance, it might gradually affect a person’s luck but it would be very unlikely to affect a person’s potency in an instant. So, I have a feeling that the young lad must have used some sort of feint attack on us.”Adrian asked, “A feint attack? What do you mean? Why do you say that?”Kenneth explained, “This is just like a magic trick. When a magician is performing a magic trick, in addition to the most commonly used camouflage method, a magician would always be using a feint attack on its audiences too. If he’s pointing at his right hand to show something to you, then he would generally be hiding something in his left hand. If he’s pointing at the hat to show you something in there, then he would usually be hiding something in his sleeves.”Adrian nodded solemnly as he said, “You can continue speaking.”Kenneth continued saying, “Look
Due to the strong cold air, the temperature in Eastcliff dropped drastically that night. Heavy snow was also falling from the sky.Charlie received a push notification on his cell phone stating that Eastcliff had already issued a blizzard warning from tonight until tomorrow.Charlie was wearing a shirt as he stepped out on the balcony of the guest room. All that he could think of at this time was just his parents.He was finally going to visit his parents’ grave tomorrow.This matter had been bothering him for the past eighteen years.Just as he was lost in his own thoughts, he suddenly heard Quinn’s voice, “Brother Charlie, don’t you feel cold when you’re wearing so little?”Charlie turned around and he saw Quinn. He did not know when she had entered his room and came towards the balcony.Quinn hurriedly explained, “Sorry, Brother Charlie. I had knocked on the door but no one answered the door. So, I simply pushed the door open and came in.”Charlie smiled slightly before he n
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
