Doris reached into her pocket, retrieved a pack of ladies’ cigarettes, took one out, and put it in her mouth. Then, she reached for the lighter again, but she had a hard time lighting the cigarette as her hands were trembling. After several attempts, she managed to light the lighter, and the cigarette was finally lit.Her face was extremely pale under the reflection of the fire.When the cigarette was ignited, Doris gently bit the cigarette with her pinkish lips and took in a deep breath. Right then, it was so quiet that she could hear the unique sound of the burnt tobacco.Doris rarely smoked, and she did not like to smoke either, but due to her diligence at work, she was often overly tired as well as upset. Therefore, she would occasionally smoke a cigarette to bring her some relief.As the smoke puffed out from her delicate nose, feeling the stimulation produced by the nicotine in her brain, Doris couldn’t help shedding two lines of hot tears down her cheeks.Her mother’s words

Doris was incomparably frustrated as this was the cruelest and most crucial choice she had ever faced in her twenty-something years of life.***Meanwhile, Edmund sat in his Rolls Royce and simply drove away from Silverwing Hospital.Edmund’s full name was Edmund Whittaker. He was an American whose family was a famous real estate developer in the United States.He had been Doris’ collegemate in earlier years and had always taken a fancy to her, but because he had still been under the watchful eye of his family at that time, he hadn’t dared to take the plunge and pursue a woman of Oskian descent.Nevertheless, Edmund had changed radically from his student days. He now had enough resources in the family as well as the control power, and now that he had taken his business to Oskia and started to enter the real estate sector here, he instantly set himself free from all the nuisances.The first thing he wanted to do was to court Doris.This was not only because he had always taken a

The next day, Charlie went out and bought a few rosewood jewelry boxes to put the pills he was going to give to the crowd tonight in.After all, it was a life-saving magical elixir for them, so he had to package the pills a little decently.On his way home after buying the jewelry boxes, he received a phone call from Isaac.As soon as the call was answered, Isaac’s excited voice resonated, “Mr. Charlie! The case of illegal fund-raising by the owner of the old residence reached a verdict this morning!”“Oh?” Charlie hurriedly asked, “How was it?”Isaac quickly said, “Well, the man was sentenced to a life sentence, and his entire assets were confiscated to pay the defendant’s debts, so now, all the assets under his name will enter the judicial auction process, including the old residence you’ve been concerned about.”“Wonderful!” Charlie immediately instructed, “Isaac, help me put my name in. I want to participate in the auction!”Isaac answered, “Don’t worry, Mr. Charlie. I’ve al

Over the past few days since Sheldon had come to Australia, he had been down in the dumps not only because Helen wanted to divorce him, but also because his image had been turned upside down after the scandal had been exposed.Now, the outside world labeled him as the biggest scum in recent years in Oskia because he had cheated on his wife and had an illegitimate daughter. Not only that, but he had also groomed his illegitimate daughter as a bodyguard and taken her home—the same home where his wife and children lived.What was more, he had even directed his illegitimate daughter to commit a serious felony overseas!That was not all!The most scandalous expose of all was that he had teamed up with the Japanese Self-Defense Forces to get his own daughter killed in order to avoid the exposure of the scandal.What did all of this indicate?It indicated that this was a brute who cheated on his wife and kept the affair a secret from everyone, used his illegitimate daughter as a killi

Helen was not enraged as she listened to Sheldon’s accusation. Instead, she responded flatly, “Sheldon, if you have any self-awareness, you should know that you are the one standing in the moral standpoint now. If you still want to seize the moral high ground by force at this moment, you truly disappoint me.”With that, Helen continued, “Love is not something you say, but it’s what you do and how you act. You accuse me of being cold-blooded for proposing divorce to you, but what about you? You have a twenty-something-year-old illegitimate daughter that you’ve been hiding from me for so many years. Have you ever thought about our marriage?”Sheldon suddenly became depressed when he heard these remarks and thought, ‘She’s right. I have no right to accuse her of being cold-blooded. After all, I’m the one who committed the mistake for more than two decades…’Just when he didn’t know what to say, Helen sighed and continued, “Anyway, I called you to ask you to get through the divorce as s

Charlie nodded and said, “Then, you must be drinking tonight, right?”“Yup,” Jacob said with a laugh. “I’ll certainly drink a little. Why?”Charlie then said, “Oh, I have some business to tend to this afternoon. If it’s convenient for you, I want to use your car later.”Jacob handed the car keys to Charlie without any hesitation and said, “Of course it’s convenient for me! Go ahead and use it. It just so happens that I will drink a glass or two tonight. If I drive, I would have to find someone to drive me home. It’s much more convenient to just take a cab.”Charlie nodded and took the car keys from Jacob.Claire, who was standing at the side, said, “Dad, I’ll be going to my office later. I can send you to the association on the way.”Jacob laughed and said, “Wonderful! I can save on the taxi fare, then!”After Jacob and Claire had left, Charlie took the pills out, put them into an inconspicuous shoulder bag, and left the house.He got into Jacob’s car and went straight to Graha

As Doris listened to Dr. Spears illustrate the case, she carefully recalled her father’s activities and said, “Dr. Spears, I have never seen my father take any unknown drugs after his illness worsened nor did I see him take any traditional medicine, let alone Dutchman’s pipe.”Then, she added, “Overall, he was in excellent health after his last kidney transplant with a relatively mild form of diabetes, so he had been taking metformin extended-release tablets, but that drug does not do harm to the kidneys and will not cause acute kidney failure.”Dr. Spears nodded and said, “I understand. Dutchman’s pipe is just an example, but there are a lot of traditional medicinal ingredients out there that can trigger acute kidney failure, not just Dutchman’s pipe. There are many chemicals and organic compounds that have great nephrotoxicity.”Doris asked, “Dr. Spears, is there any way to find out exactly what caused my father’s acute kidney failure?”Dr. Spears said, “I’ve sent your father’s b

As soon as Doris answered the call, she said respectfully, “Yes, Young Master. What can I do for you?”Charlie answered with a smile, “Oh, I just wanted to continue what we left off yesterday. Are you free tonight? If you are, come to Mr. Quinton’s house for a get-together. You all came to my house during New Year’s Eve, but I haven’t gotten the chance to treat you all to a meal since the New Year, and I feel quite sorry about it.”Doris managed a bitter smile and said, “Oh, Young Master. It was our pleasure. Don’t mention it.”Charlie laughed. “I have to. It’s a matter of courtesy! I’ve prepared a small gift for everyone. It’s not worth any money, but it’s a small token of appreciation. If you have the time, come over. However, if you’re not free, it’s okay. I’ll pass you the gift later.”Doris hurriedly said, “Oh no, Young Master, I can’t let you do that. How about this? Please let me know the time and venue, I’ll drop by in the evening.”Charlie said, “Very well, then. I’ll mes

Yolden nodded slightly. "He does.""My gosh…" Matilda murmured. "That's too much… Ashley's son? A member of the Acker family and the Wades?!"Pausing, she then asked in confusion, "Wait, if Charlie has so much power and influence, why would he permanently reside in Aurous Hill… No, why would he be content as Jacob Wilson's son-in-law? Does Jacob know who he really is?""Definitely not," Yolden shook his head. "There were some compelling circumstances, and his identity is a sensitive one. That's why I'm asking you to tell no one except Paul—and even then, you should only tell him if he can keep the secret."Matilda was sharp enough to pick up on the reasoning, too. "Charlie's hiding because of his parents' accident, isn't he?""Yes," Yolden sighed. "He has his plans, but I didn't pry since I can only do that much, let alone help him on that.""Got it," Matilda nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry. My lips are sealed… And you just said you're resigning? Are you going to help with this e

"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,
