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
Sophie did not expect that not only did her benefactor not show his face, he even refused to allow her to communicate with the outside world. She suddenly felt rather disappointed. She asked tentatively, “Will you let me report my safety to my family? My grandfather must be very worried about the safety of my mother and I. We would just like to inform him that we are both safe…” The woman shook her head and said seriously, “Sorry Ms. Schulz, our young master’s order was to not contact anyone from the outside, no matter who the other party is.” Although Sophie didn’t understand thoroughly, she nodded her head slightly and thought to herself, ‘Although this arrangement looks as if my benefactor has placed me under house arrest, I believe he must have his reasons, and it must be a good and thoughtful intention.’ Therefore, she said, “I understand, thank you.” The lady immediately said, “You’re welcome, Ms. Schulz. If you and Mrs. Schulz need anything, just inform us. Including w
The wealth of the Rothschild family had long been beyond the estimation or calculation of outsiders. Over the years, they had made both visible and hidden investments in countless fields. All offshore companies registered in the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands, as long as they remained unlisted, were not required to disclose shareholder information. Among them were numerous companies in which the Rothschild family held shares or even controls. The true value of these holdings was impossible to verify. Even for listed companies, shareholder information was only disclosed in the primary market. The secondary market was bought and held through various channels that were impossible to count. In addition, the Rothschild family had investments in real estate, energy, mining, transportation, and other areas around the world. It could be said that any industry that was at the forefront of the trend could make enormous wealth. In colonial times, Britain was known as the em
Since both Harrison and Helena had reached an agreement, Helena took out a pen and amended the details of the contract. The whole process was recorded, and coupled with Helena's identity as the Nordic Queen and the high traffic on the internet, she was not at all worried that Harrison would go back on his word. After the two sides agreed on the terms of the contract, Harrison wrote his name on the contract, and then the two sides exchanged agreements, and the contract was officially in effect. After everything was settled, Helena put the contract away, turned off the video recording on her phone, and beamed, "It's been a pleasure working together, Mr. Rothschild!" Harrison hastily asked, "Y-Your Majesty, can you please give me the pill now?" "Of course." Helena handed him the pill swiftly and said, "Even though my family doesn't have a lot of money, we always attach great importance to the spirit of the contract." Harrison stretched out his trembling hand and took the pill.
Helena said, "Mr. Harrison, your family is involved in almost all of the institutions that are major shareholders of Nvidia, and you also hold a lot of floating shares in the secondary market. You got these shares very early, and the chips were very low. As Nvidia's stock price has gone up to over 1 trillion, you have made a lot of money." Harrison had just breathed a sigh of relief when he received a concession of 10 billion, so when Helena started to talk about his past, he quickly explained, "Business is business... Whatever we earn from Nvidia shouldn't be mixed with this matter, w-w-wouldn't you agree, Your Majesty?" "Agreed." Helena nodded. "However, since I'm granting you a hundred billion in hardware costs, this absolutely ties back to Nvidia. You'll ultimately need to procure the AI model hardware through them, and as a shareholder, any bulk orders from Nvidia will effectively be you moving money from one hand to the other." "First, even if the listed cost is a hundred b
Helena was not afflicted by Harrison's annoyance. She said lightly, "Calm down, Mr. Harrison. I haven't finished." After a short pause, she continued, "I want your model for my own use, not for any commercial use, which means it will have no impact on your original market. I just want a completely identical replica for my own use. For you, it's nothing more than giving me a copy, a set of hardware, and twenty years of maintenance fee. That shouldn't cost much, right?" "H-How can I be sure that y-you won't use it for commercial purposes?" Helena smiled and said, "That's the specific detail I'll talk about next. You will still pay me 100 billion dollars, but I will sign a contract with you stating that 50 billion dollars of that will be returned to you at the rate of 2.5 billion dollars per year for the next 20 years. "If you stop upgrading and maintaining the model, I will stop the subsequent return of the money." "If I use your AI model for commercial purposes, you can immedi
Helena added, "In fact, Mr. Rothschild, if you were willing to sacrifice yourself for the family's sake, you could save this money and allow it to contribute to the future development of the family. Who knows—perhaps your descendants would even build a monument in your honor." Feeling a sharp pain in his abdomen, Harrison covered his stomach and waved her off. "Alright, t-that's enough. Since it's a deal, y-you name your price, a-and I can negotiate, so let me give you... a one-and-done price." With that, he held up five fingers, resolutely declaring, "50 billion dollars! Not a penny more! Any more, and even if I regain my health, I'll feel miserable. Just thinking about spending hundreds of billions on a single pill might ruin my happiness in old age." The thought of spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a single pill genuinely pained Harrison. Some people, even without money, still acted generous. But some, when they had wealth, became increasingly stingy. Some believ
Harrison initially thought that 100 million dollars was already an astronomical figure and that offering this amount would sufficiently demonstrate his sincerity. However, he never expected that Helena, upon hearing this offer, couldn't even be bothered to negotiate and would turn to leave. He had just felt the tangible effects of the medicine. If one-tenth had such an impact, taking a whole pill would undoubtedly restore him to his former self. He couldn't afford to miss this rare opportunity. So, he quickly called out, "Your Majesty! Whatever the matter is, we can discuss it, b-but why are you leaving?" Helena explained lightly, "I have never liked to negotiate partnerships with ignorant people. If you believe your health is worth only 100 million dollars, then, frankly, what is there left for me to discuss with you? Although I may not have as much money as you, in my view, my health is certainly worth more than that amount." Harrison was rendered speechless. He hadn't ex
Helena didn't give Harrison a chance to resist. She pinched his cheeks on both sides, forcing his mouth to open. Then, she poured the water containing the dissolved Healing Pill directly into his mouth. Harrison was so scared that the blood drained from his face. He wanted to kick and struggle, but he was trembling profusely and couldn't do anything. The thought of Helena trying to poison him gave him a chill to the marrow. He wanted to spit out the water, but Helena didn't give him a chance. While the water was still in his mouth, she threw the glass aside with her other hand, grabbed his chin, and lifted it up, snarling, "Drink it!" The moment Harrison's chin was lifted, his esophagus directly opened. The water, which was not much, went straight down his esophagus into his stomach, and he literally drank it. Harrison's eyes were full of fear at this moment. He thought that he might not even have time to say goodbye before he died. The next second, when he felt a different k
Harrison scoffed when he heard Helena's suggestion. He snapped angrily, "I-I-I have the best medical team in the world, and t-they don't even dare say such a thing. W-Who do you think you are?!" Helena smirked and replied, "Your team can't cure you, but I can." With that, she took out the Healing Pill that Charlie had given her from her purse and said to Harrison, "This pill comes from the ancient and mysterious East. Once you take it, you'll be restored to your former self. To alleviate your concerns, I can let you take one-tenth of it for free before we discuss terms so that you can truly feel its effectiveness. After that, we can discuss the pricing." Harrison, without any hesitation, disdainfully replied, "I-I would never b-b-believe in such a r-ridiculous pill! T-T-This b-bullshit has no scientific ba-a-asis at all!" Helena sneered contemptuously, "If you believe in science so much, why are you afraid of the Qing Eliminating Society? Can they possibly be a match for your
Helena pursed her lips, looked at Harrison, and then looked at Julien, pretending to be hesitant to speak. Despite his paralyzed body, Harrison was still as sly and smart as ever, so he looked at Julien and said, "Julien, clear the room. I want to talk to Her Majesty alone." Knowing that Harrison was trying to give him a boost, Julien immediately said, "Okay, Dad!" After that, he quickly asked the doctor to leave. Before leaving, he turned and said to Harrison, "Dad, you have all the time in the world. Please have a nice chat with Her Majesty. I'll ask everyone to keep a distance of 20 meters from the room. Please rest assured." Harrison nodded in satisfaction and flicked in the air at him twice, motioning for him to leave. Julien gleefully closed the door and promptly urged everyone to stay 20 meters away from the room, including himself. Seeing that the room was clear, Helena cut to the chase. As she looked at Harrison on the bed, she stated, "Mr. Harrison, the main reaso
