At this time, Elaine heaved a huge sigh of relief before she patted her chest and said, “It’s a blessing! It’s really a blessing today! I was almost destroyed by Justin today…”Claire looked at her before she said helplessly, “Mom, can you have a conscience whenever you do anything in the future? Can you not be so materialistic and foolish? I don’t know what we would have done earlier. If not for Charlie, we’d both be dead today!”Elaine knew that she was wrong but she said in a reluctant manner, “What’s the matter? I’m also a victim in this matter! Besides, this incident only happened because of Charlie! Everything started from Charlie! If he did not provoke Jason in the first place, then we wouldn’t have encountered this kind of danger at all. This is all Charlie’s fault!”Claire was really angry at this time and she yelled, “You’re really unbelievable!”After that, Claire pushed the door open and she got out of the car before heading into the house immediately.When Elaine saw
After that, Claire said to Charlie, “Husband, go and pack up now!”Charlie nodded as he said, “Okay, I will go now.”Claire took out her cell phone before she said to Elaine, “I’m going to call dad and tell him that I’m moving out today. I won’t be living with the two of you in future. No matter what you do wrong in the future, I won’t blame you or scold you again!”Elaine panicked immediately.In this life, her one and only hope was Claire.Otherwise, if she had to depend on Jacob, she would never have the chance to turn things over in this life.This time, Claire seemed to have a very determined attitude. If she really called Jacob, then there would be no room for reversal.So, Elaine rushed over and hugged Claire’s legs before she cried and said, “Claire, please don’t leave me! Claire, please don’t leave your mom. I know that I’m at fault. I know that I’m in the wrong. This is all because I was petty and materialistic! I promise that I will change in the future, okay? Please
Since Elaine had already admitted to her own mistake and guaranteed that she would never do something like this again, Claire became soft-hearted and she decided not to pursue the matter further.When they were both alone, Claire told Charlie, “Charlie, my mom is always like this. Please don’t blame her too much. As long as she realizes her own mistake and is willing to turn over a new leaf, we should give her a second chance.”What could Charlie say? After all, she was Claire’s biological mother and his mother-in-law. Therefore, he could only smile as he said, “I understand, Claire. You don’t have to worry about me. You can decide on this matter on your own. I’m your husband and she’s my mother-in-law, so I won’t blame her for anything she does.”Claire nodded before she hugged Charlie gently and said, “Dear husband, I’m really grateful to you. If it weren’t because of you, Mom and I wouldn’t have been able to leave that place alive…”Charlie smiled before he said, “Okay, don’t me
At the same time, Kenneth, who had his manhood destroyed by Charlie, was waiting for Justin’s phone call at home.Last night, he saw the pair of father and son pacing up and down the entrance of Anthony’s Serene World Clinic. It seemed as though the both of them were trying to light up Serene World Clinic with gasoline. It was then that Kenneth realized that he would be able to use these fools to his own advantage.He originally thought that he could fool both of them into getting rid of Anthony. After that, he would swap out Anthony’s real medicine with the fake ones he had already prepared.As soon as he got his hands on Anthony’s real medicine, he would be able to restore his manhood to its former glory.However, even though Justin said that he would call him today, he did not call him at all. This made Kenneth a little anxious.He did not know Justin’s name and he could only keep dialing the phone number that had been given to him. No matter how many times he called, the call
When Kenneth thought about the fact that the disappearance of the father and son of the Grant family might have something to do with Charlie, Kenneth could not help but feel very nervous.If Charlie could really let the father and son evaporate from the face of this world, then he was afraid that Charlie would also get rid of him…Moreover, since the father and son had already disappeared, he would not be able to get his hands on Anthony’s magic medicine.After all, there would not be any substitute for a dead man and he should not do anything to provoke Anthony at this time.As everyone was keeping silent, Lady Wilson suddenly looked at Kenneth in a flattering manner as she said in a humble manner, “Mr. Wilson, should we head to one of the big hospitals in Eastcliff instead? Perhaps you’d be able to find a cure for your illness then.”Kenneth was the final life-saving straw for the entire Wilson family and Lady Wilson felt even more anxious than him at this time. If Kenneth could
Wendy dressed up very beautifully today. She wore a black figure-hugging dress that was worth over a hundred thousand dollars. The dress revealed her beautiful curves and figure and she put on heavy makeup tonight.Even though she was not as beautiful as Claire or Jasmine, she could easily get most men excited after putting on some makeup and dressing up in some revealing clothing.When she heard that she was going to meet the young lord of the Weaver family, she was also a little excited.Although the Weaver family was not one of the top families in Aurous Hill, it was still a much stronger and more powerful family compared to the Wilson family.Now that the Wilson family was still struggling, Wendy also hoped that she would be able to get to know more wealthy and powerful people. If she was fortunate enough, she might have the opportunity to bring some improvements and business to the Wilson family.Kenneth and Wendy continued waiting in the private room for a short while when s
As soon as Wendy heard his question, she did not answer but she looked at Kenneth with an awkward expression on her face.She did not dare to say that she had no boyfriend because she was Kenneth’s lover.However, she did not tell any outsiders that she was Kenneth’s lover. After all, Kenneth had a family of his own. She did not want to ruin or break his family apart. If that was the case, and if she said that she was his lover, then she would definitely cause more trouble for him. If that happened, she would only be making things difficult for herself.Unexpectedly, Kenneth was actually very straightforward at this time. He did not bother to hide the truth and he simply smiled before he told Jeffrey, “Brother Jeffrey, let me tell you the truth. Wendy is actually my lover. However, I hope you’ll keep this to yourself and not tell anyone else about this.”Jeffrey felt very regretful at this time. He initially thought that Wendy was Kenneth’s niece. Who would have known that it was j
Kenneth’s originally delightful face suddenly became very heavy.Even though it was very important for him to regain his manhood, his life was even more important!He should not risk his own life just so that he could continue fooling around with women, right?When Jeffrey saw the sudden change in his expression, he asked in a curious manner, “Chairman Wilson, are you…facing any unspeakable difficulties now?”Kenneth had a helpless expression on his face before he said, “You’re right, Brother Jeffrey. I’m a living eunuch now. I can’t do anything at all! I paid a visit to the hospital and the doctor said there’s no way for him to help me at all. Therefore, you have to help me!”After that, he hurriedly asked, “Would it be too toxic if I used the medicine that your old man used just once or twice? Could you let me try the medicine for myself?”Jeffrey quickly replied, “Brother, I wouldn’t advise you to try that medicine at all! It wouldn’t be worth it at all if you harmed your own
"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
