Christian’s words left Merlin silent for a long time.Back then, Merlin had only heard of Ashley’s incident. Due to his professional sensitivity, he had once wanted to find out the secret behind that incident but there were very few insiders who knew of that incident. Moreover, it was so secretive, and so, Merlin did not continue looking for trouble for himself. However, when he thought of Ashley, he still could not help but sigh as he said, “Christian, what happened to your elder sister… is really a pity… If she was still alive, I’m afraid that the world of the rich would be a completely different picture now.”Christian nodded gently. As the younger brother with the smallest age gap with Ashley, he best understood what kind of strength his elder sister possessed.It could be said that half the credit for what the Acker family had today belonged to the Acker family’s ancestors, while the other half of the credit belonged to Ashley. As he thought of this, he could not help but

After saying that, he paused for a moment and added, “The year when my elder sister met with an accident, my father set up a special trust fund at JP Morgan Chase Bank and he puts one billion US dollars into it every year.”“This money will be used for two purposes—firstly, to find my nephew, and the other would be to give him the rest of the money after we find him.”“Twenty years have already passed now and the principal invested in total is twenty billion US dollars. In the past twenty years, we hired multiple teams to look for him all around the world and we spent less than half of the money on it. In fact, we spent about six to seven billion US dollars to find him.”Merlin was dumbfounded when he heard this and he blurted out, “You have to spend so much money to find someone?!”“Yes.” Christian explained, “In the information age, it might seem easy to look for someone but in reality, this world is so big. If you miss a certain corner slightly, you might never be able to find t

Merlin’s perception was completely subverted when he heard Christian’s words and he sighed as he said, “You guys are even more ruthless than spy warfare… The entire World War II was only fought for a span of six years, from 1930 to 1945, but you guys actually lasted fifteen years…”“Yes,” Christian said seriously. “Don’t all big families do things this way? We aren’t afraid of spending money, wasting time, or wasting energy but we simply do not want to make any mistakes at all costs. You can’t imagine the hidden engineering behind this matter. In order to send the talents that we’ve cultivated to several major families in Oskia without leaving any traces, we’d specially collaborated with Oskia more than ten years ago to organize an activity to promote the development of overseas Oskian top graduates returning to Oskia. We’ve sent nearly a hundred overseas Oskian graduates who have graduated from major universities in the United States back to Oskia, and let them enter these families t

Merlin laughed and said, “Becoming your nephew is worth it. That’s one hundred billion US dollars. According to how rich people play, I won’t even finish spending the interest even when I spend until I die…”Christian shook his head, laughed and said, “I just don’t know if we can find my nephew. If he can be found, then it is estimated that he must have suffered quite a bit over the years and with his mother’s contribution to the Acker family, the one hundred billion US dollars wouldn’t be too much.”After saying that, he couldn’t help but say regretfully, “Unfortunately, the old man is ill and he might not be able to recognize my nephew when he finally gets to see him. If my father sees him now, he might not believe that it’s my nephew. If my father is old and healthy, and really sees my nephew, I’m afraid that he’ll give him even more money. Even though he rarely says it in so many years, he’s always thinking about this grandson of his.”After that, he then added, “Oh, by the way,

At the same time, the Fox family’s butler, as well as some of his henchmen, were all urgently contacting families who owned Concorde airliners all over the world.After this incident, Spencer could not wait to buy a Concorde in order to deal with possible future emergencies. This was because it would take at least thirteen hours for the Fox family, who did not have a Concorde, to fly someone from New York to Japan. However, it would only take five and a half hours if they had a Concorde. In normal times, the time gap of seven or eight hours would be nothing, but if it was a critical moment, this time would be enough to generate too many variables. This was because the purchase of a Concorde was a normal demand for the Fox family and it was not a secret. So, these people basically did not avoid anyone and they simply hurriedly looked for a relatively quiet place and hurriedly began communicating by phone.Everyone also began secretly competing with each other. It would definit

Peyton smiled and said, “That’s how it’s supposed to be.”After saying that, he lowered his voice and said to the maid, “I’m currently negotiating a big deal and I’ll be able to finish negotiating it in the next two days. By then, I’ll definitely receive an indispensable bonus. I’ll take you to Las Vegas to enjoy for a few days after I receive the bonus!”The maid felt contemptuous in her heart but she asked curiously, “What big deal is this? Tell me about it. Let me hear it to satisfy my curiosity.”Peyton raised his brows and laughed as he said, “The master wants to buy a Concorde. I happen to know of a family in France who owns a Concorde and wants to sell it, so I’m trying to get in touch with their people.”The maid asked inexplicably, “What’s a Concorde?”Peyton explained, “It’s a supersonic passenger plane that can fly more than two thousand kilometers an hour.”The maid then asked again, “What’s the use of buying such a fast plane?” “To be used of course!” Peyton had a

Finley knew very well that as soon as the Fox family began investigating the line of Japanese ninjas, it would be easy for them to find clues about the Iga ninjas.He could not help but mutter to himself, “How can the Iga ninjas be a match for the Fox family? When they face the Fox family, they will definitely confess everything without any hesitation at all…”“When the time comes, the Fox family will start backtracking from the Iga ninjas and it won’t take long for them to link it to me…”“Although I used a fake identity when I contacted the Iga ninjas, the forty million US dollars that I gave the Iga ninjas was not fake money…”“Once the Fox family starts checking the origin of the money and investigates a little upstream, it will definitely lead them to me…”“How should I explain things to the Fox family at that time?”“Should I say that I’m innocent? Will they believe me? Definitely not…”“In that case, I can only tell them truthfully that I was actually helping Homer find a

Texas borders Mexico and so, he planned to find a way to smuggle himself into Mexico after arriving in Texas.Finley had been selling people for many years and he had a strong network of connections in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Now, he did not dare to return to Canada and he could no longer stay in the United States. Thus, his only option was to go to Mexico first.This was because there were many big drug lords in Mexico and it was more like a chaotic era of warlords there and so, it would be easy for him to hide his identity and go anonymous. As soon as he reached the territory of those big drug lords, it would be difficult for even the Fox family to be able to find him.At this moment, the driver glanced at him through the rearview mirror and smiled as he said, “Okay, sir. Please fasten your seat belt.”Finley said impatiently, “Fasten my seat belt, my ass! Hurry up and drive!”The driver said very seriously, “I’m sorry, sir but in my car, you’ll have to fasten you

Pausing, Charlie then said, "I'll call Steve to drop by later too. I'm sure folks in Aurous Hill won't know him, but your potential troublemaker might.""I-Is that really fine?" Yolden blurted."What's not fine about it?" Charlie chuckled. "He has been treated like a tool ever since he came to Aurous Hill, and now that he has a chance to strut about, he wouldn't ask for more."Yolden appeared slightly relieved at that, and Charlie asked, "By the way, where's Paul, Matilda, and Autumn?""Getting their makeup done," Yolden replied. "Paul's my best man while Autumn's the maid of honor.""Good," Charlie nodded with a grin. "Don't worry—the wedding's going to be a success."As they spoke, Matilda stepped out of the dressing room in a stark-white wedding dress, flanked by Autumn and Paul.Seeing Charlie, Autumn nodded politely, "Good morning, Mr. Wade."As Charlie nodded in turn, Paul started, "G-Good morning… Mr. Wade…"Seeing that he was nervous and tentative, Charlie knew that he

As Yolden and Matilda were remarrying after living abroad for years, the wedding ceremony was much simpler, skipping Oskian customs and having a simple wedding reception for their guests at the hotel hall.There weren't that many guests either—aside from their children and close friends, only a handful of Yolden's colleagues at Aurous Hill University were invited.As the celebrant, Charlie didn't have much to do and was mainly the emcee.He brought along his jacket as he headed out to Shangri-La, not wearing it immediately so that Claire wouldn't guess that he was attending Matilda's wedding.Arriving at the Hanging Gardens before the guests were supposed to arrive, he found Yolden working with the staff to finalize the preparations.Seeing Charlie, Yolden approached him and said, "Thanks for coming this early, Charlie."Noticing that he was a little tired, Charlie asked in concern, "Had a bad night?"Yolden nodded, sighing, "Paul's uncle caused a huge mess. Both Matilda and I a

Tarlon nodded. "How do you suggest we find them?"Fleur scowled. "There's no rush. There are things which I'm still confused about, so just keep a close eye on the Ackers and the Wades for the time being. Report to me right away if anything important comes up—don't afford our enemies any opportunities to exploit.""Yes, milady!" -The next day, more news outlets were covering the joint project between the Ackers and the Wades as word continued to spread.However, neither family revealed too many details, be it the name of the company, who was the CEO, or the scale of their business.While the public was dying with curiosity, nothing else was known.Still, Aurous Hill's officials were especially interested, with the town hall visiting the Ackers the next day and showing utmost sincerity by leasing a whopping 2-million-square-meter land along the southern highway. Still, the condition was for the Ackers to come true on their promise to propel the city's economy to 15 billion US d

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
