Elaine’s situation was no less tragic.She was sent to the best Orthopedic hospital by Albert’s men, and an expert was immediately arranged to conduct an emergency operation on her knee joint.In fact, the best method to treat her injuries was to perform the surgery as soon as possible. Using steel plates and nails, they can fix the knee in position before casting it with plaster for protection.This way, the recovery process should be the most effective.After the surgery, she was sent back to the ward, where Albert’s men were already awaiting her arrival.The subordinate immediately said to Elaine, “Ms. Elaine, your contribution to the arrest of Cecilia was tremendous. Due to this, your surgery expenses will be covered by our Interpol.”Elaine looked at her right leg cast in plaster and couldn't help but feel sad as tears began streaming down her face. She choked. “Mr. Officer, no matter what happens, please don’t let Cecilia go.”The man nodded and said solemnly, “Ms. Elaine,
Elaine cried and said, “Let’s not talk about this anymore. The MLM organization took revenge on me. They grabbed me and bludgeoned me up… I lost some hair, and I broke my legs...”“What?!” Claire cried out in shock. “Did you make a police report?”Elaine continued sobbing. “I already did. The police officer has already apprehended them. Please just come to visit me as soon as possible.”Claire quickly asked, “Which hospital? I will head over there right now.”Elaine choked, “I’m at the Aurous Hill Orthopedics Hospital, come quickly… ”Claire tried to keep her composure. “Alright. Hang in there and wait for me, mom. I’ll be right there.”Claire hung up and immediately sped off to the hospital. As she was driving, she called Charlie.Charlie, meanwhile, had just reached home and was casually watching tv in the living room.Jacob, his father-in-law, had just returned as well. He was preparing to brew a pot of tea so he and Charlie could both enjoy a drink.Charlie received Claire
While Charlie and Jacob hurriedly made their way to the hospital, Claire had already arrived.When both the men arrived at the ward, Elaine was holding Claire’s hand, crying pitifully.Claire was constantly wiping her tears while feeling a tug in her heartstrings.Although Charlie had heard that his mother-in-law suffered a terrible fate, he was standing outside and did not go in to check on her; thus, he didn’t see to what extent her condition was.Plus, after Elaine was taken out by Albert’s men, she was directly sent to the hospital. Charlie did not manage to see her face either.Now, seeing Elaine in person with a bluish-black nose and a swollen face, with a patch of missing hair on her forehead, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. “Oh my… My mother-in-law is in quite a bad shape. It was indeed an unforeseen circumstance that put her in this state. Who would have thought that Carmen would really go after her?”Seeing Charlie’s arrival, Elaine, who was aggrieved, finally f
She was already thinking of pretending to be pitiful in hopes that Charlie wouldn’t deduct her allowance.What was totally unexpected was for Charlie to be so generous, offering the considerable sum of a hundred thousand dollars!Elaine immediately felt refreshed and energetic the moment she heard Charlie’s words. She immediately thanked Charlie gratefully. “Wow, you are really the best son-in-law! It must be due to all the accumulated good fortune that I have you as my son-in-law…”Claire was speechless when she heard her mother’s words.She was so stupefied because she realized her mother said those words sincerely. Rather than just a polite gesture, it seemed as though she was really saying them from the bottom of her heart…Charlie, too, didn’t expect Elaine to be so moved with a mere hundred thousand dollars. He couldn’t help but laugh secretly while thinking to himself, ‘If I knew this superb mother-in-law of mine would be so easily controlled by such a small amount of money
When lady Wilson heard what the man had to say, she felt as if she was struck by lightning. She just stood there on the spot, dumbfounded.Helplessly, she begged. “Young lads, can I trouble you to make a call to Mr. Webb? Please tell him that our family has exhausted all our finances, and we need him to show some mercy. Please give us a chance to survive. At least leave the Bentley to us…”She immediately added, “Even if you could just lend it to us for a few years, it would suffice!”The man stared blankly and replied coldly. “I am sorry. Mr. Webb has said that your family is too inferior to be shown in public. As such, he doesn’t want to have anything to do with you anymore. He will still allow you to live in the villa, which is his greatest kindness to you. If all of you are still unappreciative, then please don’t blame Mr. Webb for taking back the villa from you too.”Lady Wilson’s heart throbbed painfully for a moment, but she dared not say anything wrong towards them.Wendy,
Feeling significantly wronged, she cried, “Mother, I know that you’re still upset about my pregnancy issue in Blackpine, but I was really trying to survive; otherwise, I would have died!”“And regarding the tens of millions of dollars, it was never my intention to lose it!”“I’ll admit that I wanted to cheat Elaine of her money and get her villa to better improve our family’s living conditions. All the hard work and sacrifices I’ve made were all for this family alone.”The moment Hannah brought out the pregnancy issue, Lady Wilson felt slapped across the face twice. She immediately yelled in a fury. “You shameless b*tch! How dare you mention the pregnancy! You’re so shameless! Depraved of moral values! Extremely shameless! If Donald wasn’t protecting you, I would have already driven you out of our home!”She was so furious that she started hyperventilating. With gritted teeth, she growled, “Don’t forget that when you crawled out of Blackpine, not only were you impregnated, you got
Presently—at A06, Thompson First Villa.Jennifer, Yara, and Yulia just had their stomachs filled.They had been waiting a long time, but Lady Wilson’s family had yet to return, and they were starving. Coincidentally, some ingredients were prepared by Hannah in the kitchen but were yet to be cooked. They decided to use up the ingredients and cooked a feast.Before Donald Webb divested, Wilson family’s standards of living were quite good. After Donald Webb had previously invested in Wilson group, which helped restore the posh lifestyle to Wilson group, Lady Wilson was able to resume her previous lifestyle, living like an empress. Their living standards really did improve tremendously during that time.Moreover, Hannah deliberately prepared costly ingredients today to celebrate their success after the father and son duo finished off Elaine.Little did Wilson family know that they would not get the chance to consume any of these ingredients, and it all ended up being gobbled down by J
Wendy growled indignantly, “Hey, you doctors. Aren’t you supposed to save lives and help the injured?”The driver looked at her and said seriously, “Miss, just to be clear, we are not doctors. Moreover, this is not an emergency ambulance from the public hospital, but a privately operated ambulance. Just like cabs, you need to pay the fare to use our service. Pay us and we’ll take you to the hospital. Do you understand?”Wendy gaped in disbelief.The man said disdainfully, “What’s with you people anyway? Living in such a nice villa, yet you can’t even afford four hundred bucks!”With that, the two men directly got into the car, started it, and drove off.Wendy stomped her feet in anger. Lady Wilson sighed in dismal and said to Wendy and Hannah, “I’m old and don’t have any strength now. You two carry Christopher into the house first, and then come out to carry Harold in.”Knowing that there was no other way, Wendy and Hannah could only grit their teeth as they used all their streng
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
