Moreover, this price was really a black-market price that was extremely high, and the profit margin was also as high as 99.99%...At this time, Charlie was very serious as he said, “Mr. Cameron, look. This group of people usually wear LV and carry Hermes, and they think that they are so amazing because of that. A piece of their clothing printed with the LV logo would cost tens of thousands of dollars, and the price of a Hermes bag is also extremely expensive and out of the world. Since all of them have so much pride and ego, my Rejuvenating Pill clothing would be the best luxury good. How can Hermes compare to a set of sportswear that costs 1.5 million dollars?”Isaac instantly perspired out of embarrassment. He knew that this young master of his was sometimes very black-hearted, but he did not expect him to be so black-hearted...If word about this were to get out to the public, people would say that Shangri-La was shameless. However, he also knew Charlie’s style of action and
When Sherry heard Kathleen’s words, she immediately asked nervously, “Young Lady, wouldn’t you be exposing your identity if you were to bring Lord Fox to have dinner together with Charlie Wade?”“That will not necessarily be the case.” Kathleen said, “I plan to invite Claire first, and then I will let Claire help me invite Charlie Wade. After that, I will bring Grandpa there directly and introduce them at the dinner table.”Sherry could not help but ask, “Then, how are you going to introduce your relationship with Lord Fox to Charlie Wade?”Kathleen said, “It’s simple. I will simply say that Grandpa is my distant grandfather. After all, the Jane family is originally closely related to the Fox family. So, there will be no loopholes in terms of its reasonableness.”Sherry was very puzzled as she asked, “Young Lady, I don’t quite understand. Why would you want to arrange for a meeting between Lord Fox and Charlie Wade? This matter is originally two sets of plans, and the two sets of p
Charlie nodded gently and asked, “Miss Jane, you should have already found a place to stay, right?”Kathleen nodded and said, “Yes. I’ll be staying at Aurous International Hotel.”Charlie smiled and said, “That’s good.”After saying that, Charlie looked at the time and said, “I still have something to do, so I will not hold you up any longer, Miss Jane.”Kathleen said with great understanding, “Mr. Wade, please go ahead and get busy if you have things to do.”Having said that, Kathleen then suddenly added, “Mr. Wade, I would like to invite you and Claire to have dinner together with me if you have time some other day. After all, we have already known each other for many days now, and I have not thanked you properly for the help that you and Claire have given me.”When Charlie heard this, he immediately deduced that there had to be something fishy about Kathleen’s intention.So, he did not reject her directly. Instead, he nodded and smiled as he said, “Sure, but I might be busy o
The masterclass that Kelly was talking about was a high-end training course led by the Rhode Island School of Design, which was the top in the world in the field of design. It was also the most advanced skill class in the entire field of interior design, and it was known as the cradle of the world’s top designers. It was just like Lakeside University which had been established by the owner of Alibaba back then. Those who could get in were basically very powerful or promising young entrepreneurs in Oskia.For this kind of place, in addition to getting access to the top knowledge, technology, and academics in the industry, being able to step into this place would mean that you would have access to the tip of the industry’s pyramid.As soon as you had access to it, you would be connected to the most cutting-edge resources in the industry.It was also much more difficult to enter the masterclass at Rhode Island School of Design compared to Lakeside University.Before Lakeside Univers
Meanwhile, Claire was preparing to eat lunch at the company.As there were a lot of official duties and business at the company, Claire would usually not bother to go home to eat at noon. Instead, she would eat takeouts at the company because this would save her more than an hour.She was just about to pick up her cell phone and order food when she received a phone call from Kathleen. So, Claire picked up the phone and smiled as she said, “Miss Jane, what are your instructions for me?”Kathleen said, “Claire, didn’t I tell you long ago not to call me Miss Jane? You can just call me Kylie.”Claire laughed and said, “You’re my friend when it’s not working hours, but you’re my client when it comes to work and so, I must be polite to you.”Kathleen laughed helplessly and said, “It’s already noon. Is it still working hours? Don’t you have lunch breaks at your company?”Claire explained, “Other employees have lunch breaks, and our lunch break is for one and a half hours. However, for
“Leave Aurous Hill?!”When Claire heard Kathleen’s question, she asked in disbelief, “Why do you want me to leave Aurous Hill?”Kathleen smiled and said, “Because Kelly and I would like to invite you to go abroad for a while.”“Go abroad? For a month?!” When Claire heard this, she quickly waved her hand and said awkwardly, “How could I have so much free time? I still have to manage and take care of the company, and I also have to take care of my family. I would still be able to force it and make time for it if I were to go out for three to five days, but a month is too long, and it cannot be done at all...”Kathleen had a serious expression as she said, “Claire, haven’t you heard people often say this? Time is like something a woman has... if you squeeze it, there will still be something...” Claire was a little embarrassed, and she touched her forehead as she said helplessly, “One month is really too long. Not to mention the fact that I do not have the time, but even if I did, I
“Criticized?” Kelly said disdainfully, “Rhode Island School of Design originally gave me the authority to grant a special quota. This authority is given to me, and it is up to me to give it to anyone I want. Not to mention that your qualifications are not good enough, but even if it was someone who has not studied design at all, as long as I fill out her information and send it to the Rhode Island School of Design, this person can participate in the masterclass with integrity, and no one can say even one word about it!”After saying that, Kelly looked at Claire and said seriously, “Claire, you don’t have to have so many psychological burdens. There is such an opportunity right in front of you now, and as long as you nod your head, this opportunity will be yours.”Claire pursed her lips and asked with some difficulty, “Kelly... is what you’re saying... true?”At this time, Claire was still in disbelief deep down. Kelly spoke in a firm tone, “Of course, it’s true! Both Kylie and I f
Kathleen’s words made Claire’s eyes light up immediately.She suddenly thought to herself, ‘Charlie usually has nothing important to do in Aurous Hill. He usually just helps some acquaintances take a look at their Feng Shui, so it shouldn’t be very important...’‘If I asked him to go to the United States with me, he will definitely have plenty of time to do so…’‘This way, I will not have to worry about being separated from him for too long…’Immediately after that, Claire thought of her parents, and she secretly thought, ‘Dad happens to be going to Korea soon for his exchange activities, and Mom’s leg is almost fully recovered. She should not have any problem being alone at home, and based on Mom’s personality, she should be happier living alone at home in such a big house.’As Claire thought of this, she felt that letting her husband, Charlie, head to the United States with her was definitely the best solution to this matter.So, she could not hold back her excitement any longe
Fleur had repeatedly mentioned the conspiracy theory of Ashley using a body double over the last twenty years.Tarlon had investigated from many different angles, but everything from the gender, age, dental records, to body figure pointed to the fact that the deceased was Ashley Acker.And yet, Fleur had never bought it, insisting that Curtis was prepared for them just because Curtis' son had gone missing soon after.There was no way Curtis would save his son but not his wife, and the disfigured corpse only added fuel to Fleur's suspicion.Thus, over the last twenty years, Fleur had kept a close eye on the Ackers, arranging for two 'scholars' to be embedded amongst their ranks as sleeper agents. She went that far all to determine if Ashley was dead or had faked her death.However, the scholars had since been killed in action, and they had no spies within the Ackers left.As for Tarlon, he still doubted Fleur's theory even now, but he remained respectful as he spoke, "Milady, I mu
Meanwhile, on the edge of the South Pole, Tarlon Griffin rushed outside of Fleur Griffin's room, knocking the door gingerly as he announced, "I have news, my lady!"Fleur didn't respond, but the thick wooden door between them slowly opened as if pushed by an invisible force.Tarlon entered to find Fleur seated on the floor with her legs crossed at the ankles. Her eyes remained closed as she molded her Reiki, asking, "What is it?"Tarlon quickly answered, "News from Oskia. The Ackers are partnering with the Wades on a joint venture into electric-powered vehicles."Fleur slowly opened her eyes, asking quietly, "And you're telling me because?"Tarlon quickly explained, "It just came out of the blue, so I thought I should report it to you right away."Fleur sighed. "After I tried and failed to wipe out the Ackers so many times, they wouldn't dare set foot stateside. If anything, they must have decided to seek asylum in Oskia by offering a substantial investment, and it's a base whe
Silent for a while, Matilda then asked Yolden, "Do you think I can do it?""Yes!" Yolden nodded without hesitation. "You definitely won't have any problems!"Matilda sighed, shaking her head. "We traveled far abroad to study while we were young, but we didn't return to Oskia to help the country's development. It's been thirty years since, and now that we have returned to the country at the same time, I definitely wouldn't turn down such an opportunity to help."Pausing, she then said, "That said, major corporations make it a point to not hire family members. Forget spouses—employees aren't allowed to date, and one of the two will be asked to resign if necessary."Don't you think it's inappropriate since we are legally married, having gotten our certificate and all? And if we set these precedents, we would have trouble asking other employees to follow that policy. You are going to be a CEO, so you need a very clear answer on this issue."Yolden shrugged. "In the first place, that p
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
