The second daughter-in-law, who was next to her, then blurted out without hesitation, “If even you don’t dare to do it, I naturally wouldn’t dare to do so either!” As she said that, she cried and said, “The police can seize whatever they want to seize. For so many years, aside from bringing up the children at home, I’ve never done anything illegal in the eyes of the law, so the police definitely will not be able to arrest me.”When the eldest daughter-in-law heard this, she also chimed in and said, “Yes, that’s right... We are just two women, and aside from giving birth, nursing our children, and raising our children, we do not know of anything else, and we have never done anything illegal. The police will certainly not be able to do anything to us!” When Martha heard this, the anger deep in her heart surged. She wanted to rush back immediately and hack these two daughters-in-law of hers to death.She clenched her jaw tightly and said in a cold and hysterical tone, “You have been
Although the Oskian ancestors had long admonished that money would come and go, in truth, many people still valued money more than life.For a heinous person like Martha, she had long put matters of her life and death aside, and the most important thing for her was to make more money so that her family could continue flourishing.If her descendants could become rich heirs in the future and continue being prosperous, that would be her ultimate life goal.Her ultimate life goal was not focused on any single descendant, but it was to enable her entire family to have a complete change of fate.To put it bluntly, she was willing to sacrifice herself to make several generations of her descendants happy. Therefore, she would never hesitate if she were to be killed at this moment as long as her family would not be affected in any way.But now, this matter had developed in the direction that she least wanted. It was the fact that this foundation that she had worked so hard for was fall
This was also the case for Jalen.Although he was also working alone in the United States to earn money and his wife, children, and grandchildren were all relying on his support in Oskia, his family was not considered rich in Oskia yet. Over the years, the cash that he had given to his family time after time was estimated to be around ten million Oskian dollars.In his opinion, this amount of money was enough for his family to live, but it was not as obvious and ostentatious as Martha’s. So, his family should be very safe even though Martha’s family members had been arrested. As Jalen thought of this, he felt even smugger and could not help but secretly think to himself, ‘Martha, oh, Martha, I never expected that you would also end up in this state one day! You usually scold me every day as if you’re some big shot with extreme power, so why don’t you have the same bullish energy that you had before now? I did not mind your age and wanted to be a temporary couple with you so that
Jalen, who had been secretly mocking Martha, collapsed and lost consciousness in an instant because he could not stand this sudden blow.Kyler hurriedly helped Jalen who had fallen to the ground up. He massaged him as he said helplessly, “Uncle, weren’t you very open-minded when you were persuading Aunt Martha earlier? Why don’t you have the same mentality when it comes to yourself?”When Martha saw that Jalen was unconscious, even though she was in despair, her mood seemed to ease a little. It was as if another acquaintance had suddenly jumped in with her when she was feeling desperate after falling into an abyss. This somehow comforted her a little. So, she spoke up and said to Kyler, “What’s the use of squeezing him so hard? He will not wake up even if you knock his front teeth off. Hurry up and pour some water on him to wake him up!”Kyler looked at Heather, who was next to him, and blurted out, “Go and get some water from the car. Why are you still standing here in a daze
The smuggler was not afraid that they would run away at all because the smuggler did not take them to the United States directly but to Mexico first. Either way, as long as they got on the smuggler’s boat, they were just like the slaves who were sold by the Europeans back then, and their life and death were in the individual’s hands.Those who were obedient could live until the boat docked, whereas those who were disobedient would have rocks tied to their feet directly before they were thrown into the sea on the spot to be sunk to the bottom of the sea.The two had managed to escape with great difficulty, and they did not dare to disobey, so they followed the boat all the way to Mexico.After disembarking in Mexico, the two were forced to stuff a few packs of contraband into their rectums in Mexico before they then traveled to the United States with the fake identities provided by the smuggler. According to the smuggler’s price, three thousand US dollars would be discounted for
“Elaine?!”Jose was stunned when he heard this.Immediately after that, he had an incredulous look on his face as he asked, “Martha, do you mean that Elaine was the one who pinpointed us?! She... She does not know of our true identities!”Martha responded with a serious expression, “I think that the fact that our family met with this situation is inseparable from Elaine’s arrest, so it might be because of her. However, if you want me to come up with substantial evidence, I cannot come up with it either.”Kyler, who was aside, hurriedly said, “Aunt Martha, I think that Elaine is just an old and pathetic loser. She was fooled so easily, so she cannot possibly have any great abilities.”Heather also chimed in and said, “That’s right, Aunt Martha! Elaine doesn’t look like someone with any real abilities.”Martha said coldly, “Do you still remember her son-in-law?”“Yes, I remember.” Kyler said, “Isn’t it that kid named Charlie Wade or something?”“Yes, that’s him!” Martha nodded he
“Ahh?!” Kyler’s face turned pale out of fright, and he blurted out and asked, “Aunt Martha, what should we do now?!”Martha blurted out, “It seems that I made the right decision in choosing to go to Mexico. Let’s flee to Mexico as soon as possible. The law and order there is chaotic, so it would also be more convenient for us to hide. Let’s slowly think about countermeasures after we get there!”***Meanwhile, Elaine had just woken up on the soft bed in the luxury single ward in the highest-end private hospital in New York.Although she had broken a rib, the good thing was that her condition was not serious. The doctor gave her oral and topical medication to help her minimize the pain, so the physical pain that she felt was almost negligible.However, unlike her physical body, Elaine’s spirit had suffered all night long. She had had many dreams when she slept last night. Although each dream was not quite the same, each dream ended with her being sentenced to death by the court.
“What?!”Elaine seemed to have heard the cruelest words in the world, and she blurted out, “How can you let me out of the hospital so soon? If I’m discharged from the hospital, wouldn’t I have to go to the detention center, then?!”The female doctor said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Madam Elaine, but I don’t know what the arrangements for you after you’re discharged are. I really don’t know anything about this. You’ll have to ask the police.”Elaine cried and said, “Doctor, it shouldn’t be difficult for you to give me a medical report saying that I have a serious injury, right? You should just give me one. I’m already old, and I really cannot stand the hardship in the detention center.”The female doctor said helplessly, “Madam Elaine, this kind of thing cannot be faked in the United States. If I issue such a medical report for you, the police will definitely ask other doctors to review it. If my medical report is found to be false, I will never be qualified to practice medicine aga
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
