Indeed, Claire was very worried about her father’s situation.She didn’t expect that Dr. Joshua Lynch, whom Jason had invited, to actually be a quack doctor.Now that Joshua had been exposed, who could she find in Aurous Hill to heal his father?Charlie brought Anthony to her and said, “Claire, this is Dr. Anthony Simmons, a famous doctor. He can cure Dad’s injury.”Claire and Elaine were overjoyed when they heard it! They never thought that Anthony Simmons, the renowned doctor in the country, would be willing to treat Jacob.Claire hurriedly said, “Dr. Simmons, thank you for your help!”Anthony smiled and said, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Wade. I owe Master Wade a big favor and I’ll try my best.”Then, he walked to the bed, took out the pill, carefully cut it in half, and gingerly put it into Jacob’s mouth under everyone’s intense gaze.Everyone held their breath and anticipated.Jacob’s doctor was watching vividly. Although he didn’t believe that Chinese medicine could cure the spina
At this moment, as Jacob felt the astonishing changes in his body, he stared blankly in a daze and disbelief.He vaguely remembered that he was involved in an accident and he couldn’t move at all, was he not?But now, why did he feel as if nothing had happened to him? He felt energetic and strong, even better than before the accident!What was going on?Jacob was so confused and perplexed. He asked, “Claire, what…what happened to me?”Claire regained her composure. She rushed to her father and said as she cried, “Dad, you had a car accident and was almost paralyzed, but thanks to Dr. Simmons, you’re okay now.”Then, she walked towards Anthony and said gratefully, “Dr. Simmons, thank you so much! If it weren’t for you, my dad wouldn’t have recovered.”Before she could bow at Anthony, he quickly stopped her as he thought to himself, ‘Actually, you should be thanking Master Wade. Without his elixir, he couldn’t have cured his father’s injury. Truth be told, it was Master Wade’s med
Claire felt very embarrassed after hearing this warning from her mother.She also felt that Charlie was taking a big risk by giving Feng Shui advice to all these rich and powerful figures. In fact, it was equivalent to him walking a tightrope on the Grand Canyon, which was a very dangerous feat indeed.There were so many Feng Shui and metaphysics masters who had deceived many celebrities in the past, but they had all suffered a terrible death.If Charlie continued giving Feng Shui advice, who would know what would happen in the future?When Elaine saw the worried expression on Claire’s face, she knew that she had already succeeded in brainwashing her. Therefore, she quickly struck the iron while it was still hot. “You should divorce Charlie as soon as your father is discharged from the hospital! Otherwise, who knows what will happen when this group of rich and powerful people find out that Charlie has been deceiving them all this while? What are we going to do if our family has to
Charlie shrugged helplessly before he took the cheque out of his pocket and handed it over to Elaine. “Mom, here’s the cheque.”Elaine took the cheque excitedly, and filled with joy, she ran directly to the registration counter.When Charlie saw the anxious and excited expression on Elaine’s face, he knew that Elaine was planning to keep the balance of the money. He sighed before he headed back to the ward.After Charlie had arrived at the ward, Claire asked out of curiosity, “Did my mom manage to catch up to you?”Charlie nodded before saying, “Yes, mom wanted me to give her the cheque so that she could pay the hospitalization fee instead.”“Okay.” Claire could only nod helplessly.She had always known that her mother was very materialistic. Moreover, she was always greedy for money! Claire knew that Elaine would definitely have all sorts of ideas in her mind, and she would definitely be up to no good since she already knew that there was a refund of one hundred and sixty thousa
Charlie was in the ward with his wife, Claire, as they accompanied and chatted with Jacob.Suddenly, the door was kicked open as Elaine charged into the room aggressively.As soon as she entered the ward, Elaine held out the one hundred million dollar cash cheque in her hand before yelling, “Charlie! You b*stard! How dare you try and cheat me?!”Charlie was taken aback, and he asked in surprise, “Mom, what are you talking about? When did I try to cheat you?”Elaine ignored him and ran directly to Claire as she complained, “Daughter! Look! You have to divorce this big fat liar today! There is something wrong with this guy! He even tried to cheat your own mother! How can you forgive him?”Claire was very puzzled and she asked, “Mom, what happened?”Elaine handed the cheque over to Claire before saying, “Look! Your husband must be crazy! He actually gave me a fake one hundred million cash cheque, and the cashier at the registration counter almost called 110 to report me for committi
As she thought about it, Claire calmed down a little before handing the cash cheque over to Charlie. “Keep it properly and make sure that you burn it for your dad tonight. Don’t mix it up with any other cash cheques in the future! Otherwise, who knows if something bad might happen?”Charlie nodded in a hurry before he said, “Don’t worry, dear. I know I should be more careful in the future.”After that, Charlie hurriedly took out the cheque for the one hundred and eighty thousand dollars before handing it over to Elaine and saying, “Mom, this is the real cheque. Here, take it!”Charlie continued flattering Elaine as he said, “Mom! Fortunately, you realized my mistake! Otherwise, we would undoubtedly lose out on a lot of money if I burned the wrong cheque!”Elaine glared at him furiously. If it weren’t for the one hundred and eighty thousand dollar cheque, she would not have let him off so easily.However, who would say no to money? She had to take the cheque and keep the remaining
Charlie frowned immediately.He was not a member of the Wilson family. He did not have the so-called family-bond and blood relations with them. Therefore, he could tell at a single glance that Lady Wilson was up to one of her bitter tricks once again.The Wilson family was now in a desperate situation. If they could not revive the Wilson Group, it would unquestionably fall apart, and the old lady would instantly fall from the top to the bottom.Lady Wilson was someone who had worried about her face and reputation all her life, and she would rather die than accept the fact that she would be poor and destitute. Therefore, she had to wrack her brain to find a way to turn things around for the Wilson family.First, she had tried to bully and trick Claire into joining the Wilson Group again. However, Claire did not give in to her request.After that, she had tried using money to try to get a breakthrough from Elaine. However, Elaine failed to convince Claire into returning to the Wilso
Christopher hurriedly agreed before he said, “Yes, Claire. I think that it is very important for your father to build up his health again. He should recuperate in a good environment with a good mood! So, why don’t you listen to your grandmother and come back to live in the Wilson family villa? I will also hire a few nannies to take care of your father twenty-four hours a day!”Jacob, who was lying on the hospital bed at this time, felt extremely moved when he heard what his mother and brother had just said.His heart felt a little shaken, and he could not help but say, “Claire, why don’t we move back, then…”Claire felt a little conflicted.She did not know whether her grandmother was being sincere or whether she was just pretending.However, when she saw her grandmother, father, and uncle holding hands and crying together, she also felt very touched.She had to think of her father. If he could move back into the Wilson family villa and live in a comfortable environment with a ca
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
