Hannah was filled with resentment toward Lady Wilson as she followed the Wilson family into the dining room.Lady Wilson directly sat at the main seat at the dining table. When she glanced at the food that Hannah had cooked, she was very dissatisfied and frowned as she said, “Why did you prepare all these home-cooked dishes? Why aren’t there any dishes with a lot of meat? Don’t you know that I’m already old and would need to replenish and build up my body?”Hannah was a little aggrieved as she said, “Mom, you can’t blame me for this. You’re holding onto all of the family’s money, so I only have a few hundred dollars on hand. How can I possibly afford to buy a lot of fish and meat then?”Lady Wilson snorted coldly and said, “You’re always full of excuses. Can’t you even buy a chicken if you have a few hundred dollars? One free range chicken costs less than a hundred dollars. Can’t you even afford that?”Hannah felt very angry and she said, “Mom, there are five of us eating in this f
“What face and recognition…” Wendy became anxious and she choked as she said, “No matter what it is, I’m still the public relations director of Wilson Group. It would be really embarrassing if someone were to discover and expose the fact that I’m carrying a fake Hermes bag when I go out!”Lady Wilson sneered and said, “What do you know? At a time like this, if you have a noble and prestigious status, others would think that it is an authentic product even if you are simply carrying a fake bag. However, if you have a humble and lowly status, others would still say that you’re carrying a fake bag even if you’re actually carrying a genuine bag. Since Wilson Group has had a fresh start and has already made a comeback, then to the outsiders, you naturally have a very high worth and status as the public relations director of Wilson Group. Even if you carry a fake bag, no one will think that it is fake!”Wendy was very depressed and she said, “Grandma, even if you refuse to give me one hund
Christopher still hated Elaine very much even now.This was because Elaine had not removed the twenty over green hats that she was hanging on her balcony.She did not only refuse to remove them, but she even bought a new batch of green hats online. Now, she was hanging more than thirty green hats on her balcony.Whenever Christopher entered and left the villa at Thompson First every day, he would have to pass by Charlie’s house. So, constantly having to see more than thirty green hats fluttering in the wind every day really angered and infuriated him.Moreover, whenever he thought of how Elaine had been mocking and humiliating him, he was filled with even more hatred for Elaine.He had been wanting to look for an opportunity to deal with Elaine and teach her lesson. At the same time, he would be able to please and satisfy Donald as much as possible if he could just cause some chaos in Charlie’s family. However, since Elaine had been staying home all the time because she had a plas
Although he would have to give Charlie 90% of the Kobayashi Pharma’s shares after returning to Japan, it was still better than staying back and working at the dog farm for the rest of his life.After Charlie arrived at the dog farm, he told Albert, “Bring both Ichiro and Jiro here.”“Okay, Master Wade!”Albert immediately gave his orders to his men. A short while later, several men came over with the brothers, Ichiro and Jiro who were wearing their work clothes at this time.When they both met at the door, Ichiro took advantage of Jiro, who was completely unprepared, as he rushed at him and kicked him hard as he cursed and said, “You b*stard! You actually still dare to show up in front of me now!”After Jiro was kicked down to the ground, he hurriedly got up and rushed towards Ichiro as he yelled, “You b*stard! I’m going to kill you!”Ichiro did not want to be outdone and he said, “Bring it on! Let’s see who is going to kill the other! I will blow your head off with a single punc
When Ichiro heard that Charlie would be bringing him back to Japan tomorrow, he could not help but feel very excited. However, he also felt very nervous at the same time. He looked at Charlie as he asked in a low voice, “Mr. Wade, how will I be able to convince the public to accept me again if I return to Japan like this? Everyone there thinks that I’m the culprit who killed my father and they think that I am already dead. If I were to go back so suddenly, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to inherit Kobayashi Pharma just like that…”Charlie smiled and said, “Isn’t that a very trivial matter?”After he was done speaking, he immediately beckoned at Albert and said, “Albert, arrange for someone to prepare a video camera so that we can shoot a video of Jiro confessing that he was the one who poisoned his father to death before offering a huge cash reward in exchange for his brother’s life, and that his main goal was just to be able to monopolize Kobayashi Pharma and inherit
Albert nodded immediately before he said, “No problem, Master Wade! I will do everything according to your instructions!”Charlie nodded in satisfaction before he told Isaac, “Isaac, Albert will be coming with us, there is also Paul from Smith Group Corporate Law and Ichiro from the Kobayashi family. Please ask the crew to make the necessary preparations.”“Okay, Young Master! I will make all the arrangements then!”At this time, both the brothers, Ichiro and Jiro, had also recorded their own confession videos.Charlie looked at the both of them before he said lightly, “Ichiro, make sure that you rest well today. Albert will bring you to the airport with him tomorrow. However, let me warn you in advance that you should be extremely careful along the way. Don’t think you are going back to your own territory just because you are going back to Japan. If you dare to disobey me or go against my words, then I definitely will not let you off just like that!” Ichiro nodded repeatedly as
Kobayashi Pharma had multiple production bases in Japan.Its headquarters was located in Tokyo. Aside from Tokyo, there were also several Kobayashi Pharma’s production bases located in several other cities, including Yokohama, Osaka, and Nagoya.In addition, some time ago, Kobayashi Pharma had also invested a large sum of money to establish and build up Asia’s largest biopharmaceutical production base in Osaka.Aside from finalizing and completing the Kobayashi Pharma share transfer agreement on his trip to Japan this time, Charlie was also bringing Liam from Weaver Pharmaceuticals with him along on this trip to inspect all of these production bases.Liam was now the general manager of The Apothecary Pharmaceutical and he was also the specific person-in-charge of The Apothecary Pharmaceutical. After Charlie takes over the Kobayashi Pharma, Liam would also be the person-in-charge responsible for the management of the entire production line and bases of the Kobayashi Pharmaceutical f
Claire could not help but mutter, “Ahh? You will be gone for so long?”Charlie smiled and said, “I will be going to a foreign country, right? I’m not familiar with the place so it will certainly not be as convenient as when I’m getting things done at home. If I really do have to help them make some changes to their Feng Shui, then the raw materials I would need to do so will not be so readily available too. It won’t be as convenient as it is when I’m looking at Feng Shui at home. So, I might have to take a little longer.”Claire could not help but feel a little lost.In the past few days when Charlie went to Eastcliff, she had been thinking about him as she went to sleep every night. Now that she had finally looked forward to Charlie coming home at last, she really did not expect him to be leaving again. Moreover, he would be gone for a few days as soon as he left again.At this time, Elaine could not help but asked, “My good son-in-law, how much money will the other party be payin
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
