At this moment, Sheldon was talking on the phone with his son, Jaime.Jaime had driven all the way from Eastcliff to Aurous Hill late at night. However, as soon as he arrived in Aurous Hill, he had immediately fallen into a predicament, and he felt completely lost at this time.The reason why he had come to Aurous Hill was because he had wanted to find out about his mother and sister’s whereabouts. However, the police officers from the Aurous Hill Police Department had sent thousands of people out to search for them throughout the city for the entire day without getting any results at all. Therefore, since Jaime was on his own, he did not even know where he should go or how he should start his search for them.He was originally planning to return to the Dunn family’s old mansion in Aurous Hill first so that he could ask the Dunn family’s old butler for help. In that case, he would still have a place to stay, then.However, when he thought about how he had just offended his grandfat
It was precisely because of this that Sheldon did not even dare to take a single step out of Australia until his father had spoken up although he was very worried about Sophie’s safety.He did not even dare to call to question Lord Schulz about this matter. This was because he knew very well that he would suffer an even worse fate if he were to make the old man angry and frustrated.Jaime was still young, and he had never really experienced much in his life. The biggest and most serious experience that he had ever encountered in his life was when he had been kidnapped back in Japan.In truth, he had already panicked when he had gotten kidnapped the last time.He had been frightened to death, and he could not calm himself down at all. He was not even half as calm as his sister, Sophie, was. So, the huge pressure and stress that Jaime bore at this time made him feel as though he could not breathe or catch his breath at all.He desperately hoped for his father to come back so that he
After receiving Lord Schulz's call, Sheldon felt both in and out of context.He hurriedly reassured his son with a word or two before hanging up the phone and switching to Lord Schulz's call, impatient to find out his intentions. Once the phone call was connected, Sheldon said somewhat nervously, "Dad… You… Why are you calling me so late at night?" Lord Schulz sighed on the other end of the phone and said, "Hey, Sheldon. Dad is calling to apologize to you." With that, he asked, "The video circulating online, you should have seen it already, right?" Sheldon said truthfully, "Yes, Dad. I saw it ." Then, Sheldon hurriedly added, "Dad, I know you must have some opinions about Helen, but I believe you certainly would not have any bad intentions toward Sophie and Steven. That Matteo must have been coerced by someone. That's why they were talking nonsense in the video and putting the blame on you!" These words of Sheldon instantly moved Lord Schulz deep inside.
‘This old man does have a way… ‘He clearly sent me to Australia to be put under house arrest. Now, he needs me to go back and help. Yet, he dares to say that I am having a good time in Australia?! How could I enjoy any f*cking happiness in this sh*tty place?!’ Although these were his inner thoughts, Sheldon immediately followed the words of the old man and spoke, "Dad, I'm really sorry. I did steal some time off during this period. If you need me to go back to help, I am always at your disposal." Sheldon wanted to go back, but he could not immediately take a stand and say that he wanted to do so. Even if the old man had said the words to this point, he had to put the initiative in the hands of the old man and say that one thing, which was that he would always be at the disposal of the old man. This, on one hand, was to appear absolutely respectful of the old man. On the other hand, it was also to appear humble in front of the old man. That way, it could als
The point where Lord Schulz was superior to Sheldon was that he had a rough framework in his own brain through vague traces and clues. At the same time, he counted out the existence of Charlie, a mysterious person, in this framework. In truth, Lord Schulz had always been a very shrewd old fox, planning many things almost flawlessly. There were only a few times he made small errors which had led to a large discrepancy, all because he could not anticipate a variable such as Charlie. This time, he presumed that Sophie was not dead and that someone must have saved Sophie. Thus, he decided to make great efforts to save Sheldon and his family. The first breakthrough point, naturally, was Sheldon, the head of the family. This phone call just now had not only appeased Sheldon, but he had also expressed his apology to Jaime in front of Sheldon. If this father and son believed his words, he had at least redeemed half of this family of four, then. Although Sheldon coul
Jaime said angrily, "Dad! Mom and Sophie are now in a state of uncertainty because of him, and you're telling me not to resist him too much? Didn't you see the video circulating on the internet? Did you not see what happened to Mom and Sophie in that car?!" "Foolish boy!" Sheldon shouted angrily, "It has already happened, what can you undo by fighting for your life with your grandfather?" "Not only will you not be able to undo anything, but you yourself will also be doomed!""You have to know that I am the eldest son of the Schulz family. You are the eldest son and grandson of the Schulz family. Your grandfather will live at most another ten years or so, and by then, if I can't be the head of the Schulz family, I'll just have to get the hell out far away!""If your second uncle, your third uncle, or your fourth uncle sits as the head of the family, will they let our family have a good time?!""Let me ask you, do you know what happened to each and every one of your grandfat
What appeared in front of Sophie's vision was a luxury suite in a hotel, and she was lying on a comfortable bed that was more than two meters wide. For a moment, she thought that she was an out-of-body soul after death. She immediately wanted to look for the whereabouts of her mother. Sophie looked around only to find that her mother was lying next to her! She couldn't care less about the dream reality at this point, and couldn't wait to reach out and shake her mom's body, shouting under her breath, "Mom... Mom, wake up..." Helen, who was still in a deep sleep, woke up quietly. After she had come to her senses, she looked at Sophie in front of her and exclaimed, "Sophie... Are you all right?!" Sophie said hurriedly, "Mom, I… I don't know if I'm okay..." Helen looked around and subconsciously asked, "Are we… We are not in the tunnel?! How could..." Sophie also shook her head subconsciously, "I do not know what is going on, this seems to be a hotel..."
Helen immediately stopped her. "Sophie! Don't talk nonsense! How do you know that Master Lennard's calculations are not accurate?! If you had listened to him and gone back to Eastcliff, you wouldn't have encountered such a big problem in the first place." Sophie was not convinced, and she said offhandedly, "Then, if I had gone back, wouldn't your safety have been compromised, Mom? If I was not here, my benefactor would not have appeared, then you would be in a bad spot..." Helen sighed and said, "Hey, this is the world's karma. Master Lennard at that time also only calculated the connection between you and him. He did not calculate that I would be related to this benefactor of yours through you, and he did not calculate that I would also be saved by your benefactor..."Speaking of this, she could not help but utter, "This benefactor is truly very valuable to our family… I wonder if I can find him and thank him in person ..." Sophie came back to her senses and said with u
"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
