Lady Wilson was a typical person who would take advantage and get rid of someone when he or she had ceased to be useful. Back then, she needed Jennifer to back her up in the detention center. So, at that time, she was extremely courteous to her and even treated her like her own daughter. However, in reality, she loathed vulgar shrews like Jennifer.Hence, she had completely forgotten about Jennifer since the day she was released from the detention center.To her, Jennifer was just a necessary tool on a special occasion. As soon as the crucial moment had passed, she would not want to be associated with her anymore. However, never in her wildest dream did she imagine that Jennifer would somehow appear in her house!Jennifer did not expect that Lady Wilson denied all the deeds that she had done.From her point of view, it was Lady Wilson who had bailed them out, arranged for a driver to bring them to Thompson First, and even registered their fingerprints into the house’s securit
Lady Wilson asked maliciously, “Did I ever ask for your help? When did I say that I needed you to help me teach my daughter-in-law a lesson? It was entirely because you couldn't stand the sight of Elaine, so you beat her up!”Jennifer glared at her in disbelief and was utterly disappointed. “Lady Wilson, your attitude just turns on a dime! Back then, we defended you and protected you with all our might, but this is what we get in the end!”Lady Wilson said with a blank look on her face, “I’m sorry to disappoint you, but this is also a lesson for you: to tell you to know your own place and stop thinking about making friends with someone out of your reach!”Gritting her teeth indignantly, Jennifer said, “Oh! Old coot, is that so? Fine! I’ll just stay here! Let’s see what you can do about it!”Yulia and Yara said in unison, “That’s right! We won’t leave!”Lady Wilson did not expect them to be perverse, so she growled coldly, “Stop your prattles and ask for the impossible. Why don’t y
Lady Wilson was dumbstruck all of a sudden.Jennifer and the ladies were actually sent here by Donald Webb?What was Dona thinking?!Could it be that the helpers that he said he had arranged for herself, were these three people?!While she was in a trance, Jennifer blurted out in excitement upon hearing the burly man’s words, “Sir, are you sure? Can we really live here?”The man nodded. “Of course! The driver earlier has already registered your fingerprints on the home security, hasn’t he? So, you can treat this place like your own home!”Lady Wilson cried out desperately, “Can you please tell Mr. Webb that we don’t want such helpers? They are nothing but illiterate peasants, what can they possibly do for us? Can you please get us three professional caregivers, preferably the kinds who can also do both laundry and cooking?”The man chided in a cold voice, “You wish! Old lady, I find that although you look old and ugly, you have quite a creative imagination! Who do you think you
Jennifer said, “We toured the rooms in this villa just now and found that the Wilson family had occupied all the big and nice rooms, leaving only those cheap and tiny rooms. Since the three of us have equal rights with them, can we ask for the room reallocation?”“That’s right!” Yulia came to her senses and said in excitement, “We would like to stay in the big bedroom facing south!”The man tried to stir up trouble and said with a smile, “Of course. We don’t care about the room reallocation, just sort them out yourselves.”“Wonderful!” Jennifer immediately said, “I want the big bedroom on the third floor! Whose bedroom is that? Hurry up and pack your things, or I’ll just throw everything out!”Lady Wilson shouted furiously, “How dare you! That is my room! No one can take it!”Jennifer laughed coldly, “Old coot, get the hell out of my face! Earlier, I gave you my respect and the three of us sincerely wanted to seek refuge with you and look after you as if our own mother! Never have
Lady Wilson felt as if the world was spinning around her after Jennifer slapped her.Never did she expect that Jennifer did not make a move against her, despite all those insulting slanders being thrown at her earlier. Yet when she showed the white feather, she rubbed Jennifer the wrong way. Although Jennifer was a crude person, she was indeed a filial daughter.When she heard about her mother attempted suicide by drinking pesticide, after being forced by her sister-in-law, she quickly rushed home from her in-laws.At that time, her mother was already terminally ill and was beyond cure.At the hospital, Jennifer’s mother told her in her weak voice that she wanted to go home because it was uncomfortable to stay there.Jennifer knew that her mother knew she was dying, so she wanted to help her family save some money by discontinuing the unnecessary treatments in the hospital.She wanted to take her mother back to her in-laws’ place to show filial respect for her in the remainin
Lady Wilson was infuriated, but at this moment, she would not dare to retaliate even if she had the nerve.Donald’s men said in a cold voice, “We are here today on Mr. Webb’s order to empty all the assets in this villa. According to Mr. Webb, other than the hard decorations and large pieces of furniture like beds and sofa, all other appliances, valuable furnishings, as well as the wine in the basement need to be removed from the villa!”Upon hearing this, Lady Wilson was in incomparable despair.Initially, she kept thinking about selling the appliances in the villa and especially those wines in the basement cellar, which could be sold for at least a million dollars, for some extra cash if she had no money. However, she did not expect that rich Donald would take these things into account, and had his men removed them before she could do anything about them!Grimacing, Lady Wilson said, “Gentlemen, you can move the appliances and furniture, but can you keep the wines, please? We like
Never in Lady Wilson’s wildest dream did she expect that Hannah, who was always so submissive, would retaliate and shout back at her.Hannah’s backbiting drove her up the wall. However, after realizing that she had no backup now, she was left utterly deflated and dared not say a word.If she had been nicer to Jennifer at the beginning, the three of them would have become her loyal lapdogs, and Hannah would not dare to make a fuss.Unfortunately, now she had made enemies with Jennifer and the ladies, and if she offended Hannah at this time, she would have no one else to help her.Therefore, she said sheepishly, “I don’t want to fight with you. Hurry and get Christopher back to his room, and then carry Harold in!”Grimaced in pain and choking with sobs, Christopher said, “Mom, thank goodness you still remember me. I can barely hold myself any longer…”Lady Wilson hurriedly said, “Wendy, Hannah. Hurry up and carry Christopher back to his room so that he can take a rest.”As the two
Seeing Harold in such a miserable state, Hannah could not help but shed tears and said, “Harold, I’m sorry but my hands are tied. We have nothing edible at home and Donald’s men have taken everything that we can trade for money. Where can I find you something to eat…”Wendy cried, “Mom, why don’t I go find a job tomorrow?”Hannah nodded and said, “Good idea, but you can only look for a job tomorrow, and wait for the following month for the paycheck. It’s almost New Year’s Eve; we can’t possibly celebrate New Year on an empty stomach…”At this time, Lady Wilson suggested, “That won’t do. Just look for a job that pays on an hourly or daily basis!”Wendy said, “Seems like that’s the only way…”Meanwhile, on the third floor, Jennifer was having a meeting with Yara and Yulia too. They were facing the same situation as the Wilson family — they had no money.So, Jennifer said to the other two, “It’s a blessing that we get to live in such a big and luxurious villa, but we still need to f
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
