When he heard that Christopher was going to take action against Charlie’s mother-in-law first, Donald naturally felt very happy and excited. He was afraid that he would miss out on the good show, so he hurriedly asked his men to drive him and send him over to the abandoned warehouse so that he could watch the live show for himself.As soon as he arrived at the place, Harold personally ran out to open the door of the abandoned warehouse so that the Rolls-Royce that Donald was sitting in could drive directly into the warehouse.Christopher walked toward the car excitedly, and he took the initiative to open the rear car door for Donald.As soon as the car door was opened, Christopher bowed humbly as he said, “Mr. Webb, you are here!”Donald nodded. When he saw Elaine, who was sitting on the ground as she was tied back-to-back with Carmen, he sneered as he said, “So, this is Charlie’s mother-in-law, right?”“That’s right!” Christopher replied with a hint of bitterness in his voice, “T
In truth, Elaine did not know who Carmen was.She did not even know what Carmen’s name was or where she came from at all.The reason why Elaine said that Carmen was Charlie’s aunt was simply because she was talking nonsense and making up stories.The reason why she was saying this was entirely because Donald’s words had already scared her completely.Elaine was afraid that Donald would really kill her. So, she thought to herself, ‘Since Donald wants to kill one of Charlie’s immediate family members to relieve his hatred, I might as well drag that b*tch behind me into this matter! This way, I will not only be able to save myself, but I will also be able to take revenge on this woman for humiliating me and fighting with me just now!’‘This d*mn woman came to look for me, and she was being so pretentious in front of me! She even tried to cheat me with a fake cheque and asked me to persuade my daughter to divorce Charlie! It is completely justifiable for me to accuse her of being Char
“Bullsh*t!” This time, Donald cursed at Carmen before Elaine could even say anything. After that, he gave her another slap across the face before he cursed, “Are you f*cking treating me as a three years old child? Charlie is already a married man. Don’t you know that?”“I know that…” Carmen cried as she said, “I can only do this precisely because I know that Charlie is already married! I wanted to break Charlie and Claire up first so that my daughter would have a chance, then!”Donald sneered before he said, “You are a very dishonest woman! I can already tell at first glance through your eyes that you are not telling me the truth!”Carmen was feeling extremely nervous at this time.In truth, Carmen did not have very good psychological strength. The only reason why she could be so arrogant and domineering before this was not because she had very strong psychological qualities, but instead, it was because she had always been relying on the glory and strength of the Wade family. This
Donald’s violent shout frightened Carmen so much that she began trembling uncontrollably.Since she was feeling extremely anxious, Carmen could not control herself, and she urinated in her pants directly on the spot.As Carmen and Elaine were tied together back-to-back, after Carmen’s urinary incontinence, the urine flowed down to the ground and formed a big pool of water.Elaine suddenly felt that the place where she was sitting had suddenly gotten damp in an instant, and there was also a foul smell in the air. Elaine was in shock, and she struggled to move her body as she cursed, “You b*tch! Why are you so disgusting?! Why do you have to choose to pee in your pants right now of all times and make me have to get drenched in your pee as well?!”Carmen was already on the verge of collapse, and all the decentness and ethics that she had cultivated over decades of living as a wealthy daughter had already completely disappeared into thin air.She looked at Donald before she cried and
“That’s right, Mr. Webb…” Harold, who was standing aside, was also a little unconvinced at this time, and he said, “The Wilson family could also be considered a reputable middle-class family in Aurous Hill too! We are also well-respected and have some fame and prestige!”Donald glared at Harold before he cursed, “Your family is well-respected and has some fame and prestige too?! If your family is so well-respected, why would your sister have to suck up to that old man, Kenneth Wilson? If your family is so well-respected, why would your mother sleep with the supervisor in the coal mine?”As soon as Christopher heard this, his face flushed red with embarrassment, and he really wanted to dig a hole in the ground to hide his face.Harold also felt as though he was about to die from embarrassment.However, Donald was still filled with resentment, and he gritted his teeth as he yelled, “Your family even secretly sold off the television in my d*mned villa, and you still have the face to t
At this moment, at the abandoned warehouse at the outskirts of the city. Carmen, who had previously been afraid to reveal her own identity, could not be bothered about that anymore.When she saw that Donald did not believe her, she hurriedly blurted out, “Mr. Webb, I am truly the eldest daughter of the Wade family from Eastcliff. As for the fact you have just mentioned about Charlie growing up in the orphanage, I do not deny it at all. In fact, Charlie’s situation is very special. His father was Curtis Wade—the famous and reputable Curtis Wade from back then. You must have heard of him before, right?”Donald was stunned.He secretly thought to himself, ‘Curtis Wade?! He was my idol when I was young! Back then, Curtis Wade used his own strength and power to bring the Wade family to such great heights that the Wade family was standing at the top of the country! He even suppressed the famous and arrogant Rothschild family from Europe back then! That man was basically a God in the dom
She thought about how she had been so insufferably arrogant as she ordered Charlie around in the past. She would also constantly be screaming at him, bullying, and insulting Charlie in the past. Elaine was truly filled with regrets at this time.She could not help but think to herself, ‘What if Charlie still hates me deep in his heart? Perhaps he would be happy that I have gone missing this time. If he really does not want me to go back home, he will not be bothered to come and rescue me at all. Does that mean that I will really have to bake and move bricks at the brick factory for the rest of my life then?’At this point, Elaine had already burst into tears.Donald looked at Carmen before he said, “Since you said that you are a member of the Wade family, let me ask you something. What evidence do you have to prove your identity?”Carmen hurriedly replied, “I have my checkbook and my personal signature stamp in my bag. You can take a look at it!”Donald looked at Harold before he
Donald was filled with fear as he opened Carmen’s Hermes bag.Inside the bag, aside from the checkbook, there was indeed a personal signature stamp with Carmen’s name on it.An ordinary person would not generally get a personal signature stamp carved for no reason at all. After all, they would not have any use for it.However, if it was a person who was a leader in an enterprise or someone from a senior management level, it would certainly be of use, then.Moreover, the fonts on a personal signature stamp would generally be very well-defined. So, Donald could read the two words ‘Carmen Wade’ engraved clearly on the seal.When Donald saw Carmen’s personal signature stamp, Donald felt his blood pressure rising rapidly in an instant, and he could barely stand straight.In the next moment, Donald even had the desire to die.He felt as though he had sent the father and son from the Wilson family out to catch a dog. However, the father and son had not only brought back a dog, but they
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
Charlie smiled. "Who, me? You'd laugh at me, but it was only after Steven found me that I learned to drive. I never bought my own car either and only had the two supercars gifted to me, and I only drove those a handful of times at best. Even now, I'm driving the BMW 5-series I bought for my father-in-law."Then, he remembered Marianne Long and said, "I did drive a friend's Tesla back to Hong Kong, but it was only for a short time, and I didn't manage to look into their so-called assisted driving system."Yolden thought about it and smiled, "But y'know… how would I describe the car, specifically? Have you heard of Mario Balotelli, the soccer player?"Every man present aside from Keith nodded—Mario had been a philosopher on the soccer field, and even those who didn't watch soccer were familiar with his name.Nodding, Yolden continued, "The way I see it, Mario has been a player with top-class hardware but third-rate software. Give him Messi or Ronaldinho's intelligence, and he'd be a
Kaeden then asked, "Well, professor, how do you suppose we overtake the competition at turning points? Or indeed, what qualifies as succeeding in that respect?"Yolden thought about it, formulating his words before explaining, "My personal understanding of the matter isn't simply to aim for turning points. Instead, it's things like staying on the inner lane of the race track and reaching the finish line faster by going where no other race car had gone before—or indeed where people never thought to go before."That's the case for new energy cars. Our fossil fuel energies have constantly lost to other countries and would always come up short. But with new energy cars, we can change the rules altogether."We can't catch up to their engine tech? Then we won't—there's no way they are masters in electric-powered engines, are they? They've spent decades on internal combustion engines and haven't the first clue about electric-powered engines."So, while everyone hasn't turned all their foc
The Ackers were really interested in Yolden's perspective.For their family, investing in the new energy automotive industry wasn't meant to make money—they simply intended to add to Oskia's strength as a manufacturer.But with Yolden's input, they had new things to look forward to.If they really could propel their business to giants like Tesla, opportunities and profits would go without saying—there was also no question that it supported and improved Oskia's local car industry and manufacturing sector.Giants in the manufacturing sector were different from online giants, as the latter often enforced a stranglehold monopoly. Before they had the monopoly, they would be offering perks and subsidies to the market, and when they gained sufficient customers and consumer faith, they would start choking the market for profits.To put it in perspective, a five-mile Uber ride would cost five bucks before, and the driver would be paid ten for it. But after Uber got the monopoly, the rider
