Everyone in the courtyard was shocked at this time.The baton was made out of the hardest yellow elmwood and was extremely tough. Even two sturdy men would find it very difficult to break this baton even if they used all of their strength.However, in Charlie’s hands, the baton appeared to be as weak as a strand of noodles!After practicing the fighting skills in the , Charlie’s strength had already significantly increased, and so, these bodyguards did not pose a threat to him at all.Jacob heaved a huge sigh of relief when he saw that Charlie had already taken action.He did not expect his son-in-law to be so capable! It seemed as though the three of them would be able to leave the Wilson family villa safely today.The bodyguards at the Wilson family villa were all hired by Christopher, and he was very confident with their skills. However, the bodyguards were a little flustered when they saw how strong Charlie was.Christopher grit his teeth before saying, “Ch
”Are you going to stand there and watch Harold commit murder?!”When Jacob saw Harold swinging an ax at Charlie, he could not help but roar out loudly in anger.However, at this time, Lady Wilson and Christopher could not be bothered at all. They continued to sit inside the house as they watched the fight that was going on in the courtyard, not even blinking their eyelids!The other members of the Wilson family also remained silent, as though everything happening right then had nothing to do with them at all.Moreover, at present, Lady Wilson was only interested in the villa.She did not care about anything else!Sometimes, the older a person was, the greedier he would be!Even in the past, the king would want to build a bigger, better, and more extravagant palace, going as far as to prepare a better tombstone for himself as he got older and older.Therefore, the older Lady Wilson was, the more she hoped that she would be able to enjoy the rest of her life better.The old lady
Lady Wilson was furious when she saw that Charlie had broken her grandson’s wrist right before her very eyes.She was so angry that she rushed over to him immediately because she wanted to give him a tight slap across his face.As soon as she raised her hand in the air, Charlie suddenly turned around and said coldly, “Old woman! You are asking to die!”Upon saying that, Charlie slapped Lady Wilson across her face with no hesitation. The old lady was so shocked that she took a few steps back immediately.Charlie’s eyes were icy, and he exuded a murderous aura from his body. Even though Lady Wilson was extremely furious, she shuddered involuntarily because she felt so much pain from the slap that had been delivered across her face.She covered her face with her hand before she backed away in fright.The old lady retreated, but she did not dare to raise her head to look at Charlie at all. This was the first time she had ever seen him with such a scary expression on his face.Everyo
As Charlie drove, leaving the Wilson family villa in the distance, Jacob angrily said, “If I knew that my mother and elder brother were so cold-blooded, I would not have helped them so much in the past!”Claire was sitting in the passenger seat at this time, and she could only sigh as she said, “If they are going to keep this up, the Wilson Group will definitely be ruined in no time at all.”Just then, Elaine said indignantly, “The main point is the fact that we have helped them so much! Didn’t they obtain the contract with Emgrand Group because of us? Now, it seems as though we’ve helped them for no reason at all!”Charlie replied indifferently, “Mom, if they continue acting this way, they will not end up well anyway.”The only reason why the Wilson Group could survive until today was because of their collaboration with the Emgrand Group. However, they did not know that Emgrand Group belonged to him!They had already offended him like this, and they were still thinking of making
”Charlie, you piece of trash! Now that all of you have already been driven out of the Wilson family, this villa will have to stay in the Wilson family. I came here to collect the villa on behalf of the Wilson family today!”Claire gritted her teeth before she said, “You guys are simply too much! You are trying to snatch the villa by force simply because you failed to get Charlie to give it up to you?!”Jacob also yelled angrily, “Harold! This villa belongs to my son-in-law. No one can take it away from him!”Harold spat and began cursing, “Who the hell do you think you are, Claire? You are now just someone who has been chased out and disowned by the Wilson family. Do you think you are qualified or worthy enough to talk to me?”Then, Harold raised the crowbar in his hand as he pointed it at Jacob and continued to speak, “And you, old man. Do you think you are still my second uncle? Hurry up and get out of this villa now. Otherwise, I will break your legs!”Charlie was extremely fur
Harold was stunned by the sight in front of him!He knew that Charlie was good at fighting, but he really did not expect that the bodyguards who had been armed with knives could not even defeat Charlie.Harold started shaking when he saw the murderous look on Charlie’s face.To be honest, the only reason why Harold had come to claim the villa as a property of the Wilson family was because the old lady had given him instructions to do so. Since he had an enmity with Charlie, Harold was more than willing to take advantage of this opportunity to abolish and destroy Charlie.However, he really had not expected Charlie to actually defeat all of the bodyguards so easily. Moreover, he was not hurt at all!Was Charlie really human?At this time, Charlie had already walked toward Harold with a deadly expression on his face.He had to teach this dumbass a good lesson today so that he could finally understand who he was dealing with.Harold trembled in fear when he saw Charlie walking tow
Claire replied, “What plans would I have? I will look for another job!”Charlie did not say anything else when he heard Claire’s words. Instead, he simply walked to the balcony as he gave Zeke a phone call.As soon as Zeke answered the phone, Charlie asked him immediately, “Your nephew, Gerald… is he engaged to Wendy?”“Yes.” Zeke replied in a hurry before he asked, “What can I do for you, Mr. Wade?”Charlie replied coldly, “I have already broken all ties with the Wilson family. If the White family decides to accept a bride from the Wilson family, that would mean that you are not giving me any face at all. Therefore, if you insist on doing so, do not blame me for not being polite when there are any conflicts in the future.”As soon as Zeke heard his words, he panicked and blurted out immediately, “Mr. Wade, please don’t get me wrong. The White family has already regretted this marriage arrangement for a long time. If it weren’t for the fact that you were the son-in-law of the Wils
Graham smiled as soon as he saw Charlie. “Mr. Wade, I heard that you encountered some unexpected situations today. Therefore, I gathered some herbs and medicine, and I decided to send them over here for you to take a look.”After he was done speaking, a bodyguard appeared behind Graham before he presented Charlie with a red wooden box respectfully.Graham opened the lid of the wooden box before he smiled and said, “Mr. Wade, please take a look at this.”Charlie saw that Graham had brought him a wooden box filled with old and thick wild ginseng, some purplish-red shiny Ganoderma lucidum, and a few other medicinal herbs that could not be found in any ordinary herb shop.Although these medicinal herbs were very precious and expensive, they did not contain much spiritual energy. However, these herbs were definitely better than nothing.Moreover, these medicinal herbs would also come in handy since Charlie needed to prepare some pills for invigorating Jacob’s blood circulation.Charli
"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
