A long time after Quinn had retired from the scene, there were some fans who came back to their senses and cursed as they took the lead to leave the scene.Many female fans also wiped away their tears as they silently turned to leave.Charlie also heard a pathetic guy behind him cursing as he said, “F*ck! Where the hell did this prince charming pop up from?! He’d better not let me meet him. Otherwise, I will break his legs!”Immediately afterward, someone chimed in, “Brother, count me in! This b*stard actually dared to f*cking steal our wife! He probably does not want to live anymore!”“What is this b*stard actually capable of, anyway?! He could actually make my goddess put on a wedding dress to dedicate a song to him and make her feel the rush to get married to him?! D*mn it! I’m really pissed off!”Charlie only felt chills on his back at this moment. What was a public enemy?This was the people’s f*cking public enemy!Claire, who was aside, was also somewhat disappointed and
Charlie’s wife, Claire, and Sophie walked side by side, and when Sophie saw that Claire’s eyes were flushed red, she asked curiously, “Chairman Wilson, do you like Quinn Golding a lot?”Claire nodded gently and said seriously, “I’ve always liked her. I feel that she does not only sing very well, but she is also a rare and clear stream in the entertainment industry now. She is very clean and pure.”Sophie smiled and said, “There is no doubt about it. She is not only a clear stream, but she is the only clear stream in the entertainment industry.”Claire asked curiously, “What do you mean by that, Miss Schulz?”Sophie smiled and said, “Let me tell you this. In the entertainment industry, there is no shortage of people who are shamelessly seeking personal gains. Some people betray themselves for profit and interest, and some people even falsify their past for the sake of fame. Some people might even tend to curry favor with those who are influential and have power for the sake of a rel
Sophie’s analogy of a fairy descending to earth made Claire nod her head repeatedly after she heard it.Claire felt that what Sophie had said was indeed accurate. Moreover, the true development of things should also be the same as Sophie’s speculation.However, Claire did not know that these words would carry another meaning when Charlie heard them.Charlie knew that when Sophie said these words, it seemed as though she was deliberately giving his wife a reminder. However, Sophie had deliberately given her a reminder in a very vague manner so that Claire would not know that it was related to herself. Charlie did not understand why Sophie had to say all of these things to Claire. Was it because she wanted to give Claire a heads up?Still, Charlie had never once thought about leaving Claire.Or perhaps, Sophie was intentionally saying these words to him?But what was the significance of it?Charlie really did not quite understand it for a while. Moreover, he also could not quite
Loreen recognized Sophie right away. After all, Sophie was the eldest granddaughter of the Schulz family, and she was very famous amongst the circle of rich heirs in Eastcliff. It could also be said that she was the strongest amongst all the young ladies in the Eastcliff socialite circle.Although the both of them were not friends, they were still acquaintances, and they had met during many high-society occasions. Loreen simply did not expect that Sophie would be here.So, Loreen subconsciously asked, “Miss... Miss Schulz, why are you here?”Sophie was also a little surprised. She remembered Loreen, and she knew that she was the young lady of the Thomas family. Although the Thomas family’s strength was quite inferior as compared to that of those top-notch families, no matter what it was, they were still from the same circle, so they had also had some interactions with one another. So, she smiled slightly and said, “Miss Thomas, you’re also here in Aurous Hill. Did you specifical
When Loreen heard this, she replied somewhat awkwardly, “Miss Schulz, although I’ve already been in Emgrand Group for a year now, to be honest, I’ve never met our chairman before. It seems as though he has never been to Emgrand Group. The vice-chairman, Vice Chairman Young, is the person who is in charge of all our company’s affairs. Why don’t I introduce you to her instead?”“Oh, so that’s it.” Sophie instantly figured it out. It seemed as though Loreen did not know about Charlie’s true identity.As she thought about this, Sophie could not help but laugh to herself, ‘It seems as though Loreen is actually quite stupid. Charlie is most certainly the reason why she came all the way to Aurous Hill, but even after coming here for so long, she doesn't even know about Charlie’s true identity…’Loreen realized that Sophie seemed to be looking at her somewhat strangely. So, she could not help but look at Sophie. However, as the both of them were facing each other, Loreen somehow felt that
“Okay.” Claire replied. After that, she sat in the back seat of the Audi Q5 with Charlie. Sophie then started the car and drove toward the Thompson First neighborhood.On the way, Sophie sighed as she drove and said, “I really did not expect that we are all quite destined to meet. My mother chose Chairman Wilson’s design and renovation company, and as a result, Miss Thomas is also Chairman Wilson and Mr. Wade’s university classmate. So, in the course of time, there is actually some form of connection between us.”Claire also could not help but nod and smile as she said, “We are indeed destined. Moreover, I did not expect that your business would also be related to Emgrand Group, Miss Schulz. Currently, my biggest business partner is Emgrand Group, and the hotel project that I am working on right now is Emgrand Group’s.”“Is that so?” Although Sophie’s tone sounded really surprised, no one could see that the expression on Sophie’s face as she sat at the driver’s seat and drove actual
At this moment, at the backstage of the concert.Dorothy’s eyes were flushed red in Quinn’s lounge as she personally helped Quinn to take off her wedding dress carefully. She was a little distressed as she choked up and said, “Quinn, I really do not understand. Since you already decided to wear a wedding dress for the performance at the concert tonight, why didn’t you name that guy, Charlie, directly?”As she spoke of this, she was somewhat indignant as she complained, “If it was up to me, you should have just forced him to marry you directly in front of tens of thousands of viewers and in front of all of your fans in the country! After you put on the wedding dress, you should call out his name directly and ask him to come up on stage. After that, you can ask him when he will be honoring his promise in front of everyone when the both of you are up on the stage.”Quinn looked at her reflection in the mirror as she carefully removed her shiny diamond earrings and smiled as she said, “
As she spoke, Dorothy was a little indignant as she said, “You’ve already made such a passionate love confession during the concert. As a result, Charlie simply brought his wife home directly after the concert. Do you really not want to stay for just one more day and see if he will have anything to say to you about it?”“No need.” Quinn smiled and said, “I’ve already said that I simply wanted Brother Charlie to clearly understand what kind of true feelings I have for him, and that is already enough for me.”“So, that is the reason why I did not put any frontal photos of him in the concert video and not even any of him as a child. Moreover, I did not publicly announce that it was his birthday today or that he was there at the scene tonight. That is because I did not want anyone else to guess that he is my prince charming, and I especially do not want to make his wife suspicious of anything.”“And since I’ve already said that I will wait for him for three years, I will definitely wait
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
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
