Kathleen smiled without saying a word and then nodded slightly before she followed Madien in the direction of Charlie and Claire.When Amily saw Kathleen coming over, she was so excited that she did not even know where to put her hands.Before seeing Kathleen, the chairman was the most prestigious and reputable person she had ever seen in her life. He owned ten percent of the company’s shares, which were worth more than one billion US dollars.But what was Kathleen’s status? She was in charge of the financial empire and assets worth more than a trillion US dollars. Madien was just a poor household before her, and the gap between them could be described as a whole world of difference.When Amily, who was a snob, saw such a dignified and powerful person, she was naturally extremely excited. She also instantly thought of a million ways she could try to build a relationship with Kathleen so that she could reach the pinnacle of her life.At this time, Claire also saw Kathleen walking o
Once Kathleen had spoken, both Madien and Amily were both stunned as if they had been struck by lightning, and they stood dumbfounded in place. The two of them were still waiting to see Kathleen expose Charlie’s lie directly, but to their surprise, Kathleen bowed to him respectfully and even addressed him as ‘Master Wade’!Madien instantly broke out in cold sweat out of fright, and his whole back was instantly wet. He could not help but look at Amily blankly. He also had a questioning look in his eyes in addition to shock. This was because he really could not figure out what the hell was going on.Could it be that Claire’s young husband was indeed a Feng Shui master?!Amily was also trembling in fright!In her eyes, Kathleen was a figure who was as unattainable as God, but unexpectedly, Claire’s husband could make Kathleen bow and speak to him so respectfully!Then... Hadn’t she just been asking for trouble earlier, then?!Just as the two of them were terrified and were at a
When Madien and Amily heard this, they thought that Charlie would not hold it against them, and their expressions instantly relaxed. However, Charlie then said coldly, “But today is an exception!”The two resumed trembling in fright when they heard this.Charlie looked at Madien and said calmly, “Mr. Peterson, I’ll talk to you separately later.”After saying that, he looked at Amily again and smiled faintly as he said, “Miss Wang, it’s fine if you question me, but you were also extremely sarcastic toward my wife. You even said that she was evil-minded and malicious. No matter how good-tempered I am, it’s impossible for me to put up with you humiliating my wife.”Amily’s face turned pale, and she hurriedly explained, “Mr. Wade, I... I simply said the wrong thing on impulse. Don’t... Don’t get me wrong...”Having said that, she hurriedly looked at Claire and pleaded, “Claire, please forgive me this time on the account that I didn't do it intentionally...”Before Claire could spea
Madien subconsciously pushed the blame onto Amily to protect himself, but he did not expect that Amily would be completely angered. He had always thought that Amily obeyed him because he was a handsome and successful forty-year-old man with extraordinary charm for women, so that was why Amily was completely subservient to him. He thought that she certainly would not have any dissatisfaction if he let her take the blame at such a critical moment.However, he had completely overestimated his so-called charm. For Amily, money was the real source of charm.As long as she had enough money, even if she had to face a ninety-year-old man, she would behave as if she was addicted to him and was unable to extricate herself. However, if there was no money, she would not take a second look even if the other party was as handsome as Tom Cruise.When Kathleen said that she would be banned from the design industry just now, her financial resources had been completely cut off. She did not expe
Amily covered her face, suppressed the severe pain, and cursed angrily, “I’m slandering you?! Do you think I have no evidence?!”As she spoke, she immediately took out her cell phone, dug out her chat history with Madien, and found many photos that she had secretly taken of Claire in it. She then said to Charlie and Kathleen, “Mr. Wade and Miss Fox, you can take a look at the time these photos were sent. The earliest one was about a month ago, and I had just met Claire from the master class at the time. Madien also fell in love with Claire at that time!”Madien said nervously, “You sent me those photos, so how can you say that I had my heart set on Miss Wilson?!”Amily said coldly, “You’re not going to admit it, are you? Our chat history is here, so Mr. Wade and Miss Fox can see how you responded to me!”After saying that, she looked at Kathleen and blurted out angrily, “Miss Fox, you must not let this beast in sheep’s clothing off. He has had inappropriate relationships with at le
Kathleen looked at Amily and said with a faint smile, “Stop daydreaming. Not to mention a hundred million US dollars, but he can’t give you even one US dollar.”Amily questioned subconsciously, “Why?! I’ll make him go to prison if he doesn’t give it to me!”Madien looked at Kathleen in panic and explained, “Miss Fox, don’t get me wrong. I have never done the things that Amily has mentioned, but I only promised to give her money because I don’t want her to go out and ruin my reputation...”Kathleen sneered at this lame excuse and said lightly, “Mr. Peterson, don’t forget that the Fox family is the largest shareholder in your company. Using your position as the chairman of the company to enrich your own pockets is corruption, and you’re also suspected of money laundering. What you have infringed is the interests of all the shareholders of your company, including the Fox family! As the head of the Fox family, I have the right to ask the FBI to come forward and conduct a thorough invest
Madien did not expect that the young and smiling Kathleen would be a nightmare that wanted to push him to a dead end!However, he figured out the reason for it.Misappropriation of corporate funds has always been the most disgusting thing for shareholders of large corporate groups.Although the shareholders hold a lot of shares, they generally did not intervene directly in the operation of the company. The operation of the company is generally handed over to the founder of the shares that have a small percentage to bear. Many well-known large companies in this world were basically the same.If the company originally has a net profit of five hundred million US dollars, then after setting next year’s budget aside, if one wanted to take out the rest of the money, it would be to give all the shareholders a proportional share of the dividend.However, although Madien was the founder of the company, he had sought continuous financing for the company’s growth and development, and he en
His driver was outside, and his private jet was at the airport. As long as he could get out of this auditorium door, he could be at the airport in half an hour. As long as he could get on the plane, he would definitely be able to leave the United States tonight. As long as he could leave the United States, he would be able to keep most of his assets while preserving his personal freedom.If he could not get on the plane, he would lose both his assets and freedom!When Madien suddenly decided to run away, Kathleen did not react for a while. Just when Madien thought that he would be able to escape, he suddenly felt his body stagnate for an instant, and his whole body froze. He was instantly strangled, and he could not move.He subconsciously looked back and found that it was Charlie who had reached out and grabbed his collar. Charlie said with a smile, “Mr. Peterson, where are you going in such a hurry?” Madien quickly pretended to be calm and said, “Mr. Wade, I’ve already said
The wealth of the Rothschild family had long been beyond the estimation or calculation of outsiders. Over the years, they had made both visible and hidden investments in countless fields. All offshore companies registered in the Cayman Islands and the British Virgin Islands, as long as they remained unlisted, were not required to disclose shareholder information. Among them were numerous companies in which the Rothschild family held shares or even controls. The true value of these holdings was impossible to verify. Even for listed companies, shareholder information was only disclosed in the primary market. The secondary market was bought and held through various channels that were impossible to count. In addition, the Rothschild family had investments in real estate, energy, mining, transportation, and other areas around the world. It could be said that any industry that was at the forefront of the trend could make enormous wealth. In colonial times, Britain was known as the em
Since both Harrison and Helena had reached an agreement, Helena took out a pen and amended the details of the contract. The whole process was recorded, and coupled with Helena's identity as the Nordic Queen and the high traffic on the internet, she was not at all worried that Harrison would go back on his word. After the two sides agreed on the terms of the contract, Harrison wrote his name on the contract, and then the two sides exchanged agreements, and the contract was officially in effect. After everything was settled, Helena put the contract away, turned off the video recording on her phone, and beamed, "It's been a pleasure working together, Mr. Rothschild!" Harrison hastily asked, "Y-Your Majesty, can you please give me the pill now?" "Of course." Helena handed him the pill swiftly and said, "Even though my family doesn't have a lot of money, we always attach great importance to the spirit of the contract." Harrison stretched out his trembling hand and took the pill.
Helena said, "Mr. Harrison, your family is involved in almost all of the institutions that are major shareholders of Nvidia, and you also hold a lot of floating shares in the secondary market. You got these shares very early, and the chips were very low. As Nvidia's stock price has gone up to over 1 trillion, you have made a lot of money." Harrison had just breathed a sigh of relief when he received a concession of 10 billion, so when Helena started to talk about his past, he quickly explained, "Business is business... Whatever we earn from Nvidia shouldn't be mixed with this matter, w-w-wouldn't you agree, Your Majesty?" "Agreed." Helena nodded. "However, since I'm granting you a hundred billion in hardware costs, this absolutely ties back to Nvidia. You'll ultimately need to procure the AI model hardware through them, and as a shareholder, any bulk orders from Nvidia will effectively be you moving money from one hand to the other." "First, even if the listed cost is a hundred b
Helena was not afflicted by Harrison's annoyance. She said lightly, "Calm down, Mr. Harrison. I haven't finished." After a short pause, she continued, "I want your model for my own use, not for any commercial use, which means it will have no impact on your original market. I just want a completely identical replica for my own use. For you, it's nothing more than giving me a copy, a set of hardware, and twenty years of maintenance fee. That shouldn't cost much, right?" "H-How can I be sure that y-you won't use it for commercial purposes?" Helena smiled and said, "That's the specific detail I'll talk about next. You will still pay me 100 billion dollars, but I will sign a contract with you stating that 50 billion dollars of that will be returned to you at the rate of 2.5 billion dollars per year for the next 20 years. "If you stop upgrading and maintaining the model, I will stop the subsequent return of the money." "If I use your AI model for commercial purposes, you can immedi
Helena added, "In fact, Mr. Rothschild, if you were willing to sacrifice yourself for the family's sake, you could save this money and allow it to contribute to the future development of the family. Who knows—perhaps your descendants would even build a monument in your honor." Feeling a sharp pain in his abdomen, Harrison covered his stomach and waved her off. "Alright, t-that's enough. Since it's a deal, y-you name your price, a-and I can negotiate, so let me give you... a one-and-done price." With that, he held up five fingers, resolutely declaring, "50 billion dollars! Not a penny more! Any more, and even if I regain my health, I'll feel miserable. Just thinking about spending hundreds of billions on a single pill might ruin my happiness in old age." The thought of spending hundreds of billions of dollars on a single pill genuinely pained Harrison. Some people, even without money, still acted generous. But some, when they had wealth, became increasingly stingy. Some believ
Harrison initially thought that 100 million dollars was already an astronomical figure and that offering this amount would sufficiently demonstrate his sincerity. However, he never expected that Helena, upon hearing this offer, couldn't even be bothered to negotiate and would turn to leave. He had just felt the tangible effects of the medicine. If one-tenth had such an impact, taking a whole pill would undoubtedly restore him to his former self. He couldn't afford to miss this rare opportunity. So, he quickly called out, "Your Majesty! Whatever the matter is, we can discuss it, b-but why are you leaving?" Helena explained lightly, "I have never liked to negotiate partnerships with ignorant people. If you believe your health is worth only 100 million dollars, then, frankly, what is there left for me to discuss with you? Although I may not have as much money as you, in my view, my health is certainly worth more than that amount." Harrison was rendered speechless. He hadn't ex
Helena didn't give Harrison a chance to resist. She pinched his cheeks on both sides, forcing his mouth to open. Then, she poured the water containing the dissolved Healing Pill directly into his mouth. Harrison was so scared that the blood drained from his face. He wanted to kick and struggle, but he was trembling profusely and couldn't do anything. The thought of Helena trying to poison him gave him a chill to the marrow. He wanted to spit out the water, but Helena didn't give him a chance. While the water was still in his mouth, she threw the glass aside with her other hand, grabbed his chin, and lifted it up, snarling, "Drink it!" The moment Harrison's chin was lifted, his esophagus directly opened. The water, which was not much, went straight down his esophagus into his stomach, and he literally drank it. Harrison's eyes were full of fear at this moment. He thought that he might not even have time to say goodbye before he died. The next second, when he felt a different k
Harrison scoffed when he heard Helena's suggestion. He snapped angrily, "I-I-I have the best medical team in the world, and t-they don't even dare say such a thing. W-Who do you think you are?!" Helena smirked and replied, "Your team can't cure you, but I can." With that, she took out the Healing Pill that Charlie had given her from her purse and said to Harrison, "This pill comes from the ancient and mysterious East. Once you take it, you'll be restored to your former self. To alleviate your concerns, I can let you take one-tenth of it for free before we discuss terms so that you can truly feel its effectiveness. After that, we can discuss the pricing." Harrison, without any hesitation, disdainfully replied, "I-I would never b-b-believe in such a r-ridiculous pill! T-T-This b-bullshit has no scientific ba-a-asis at all!" Helena sneered contemptuously, "If you believe in science so much, why are you afraid of the Qing Eliminating Society? Can they possibly be a match for your
Helena pursed her lips, looked at Harrison, and then looked at Julien, pretending to be hesitant to speak. Despite his paralyzed body, Harrison was still as sly and smart as ever, so he looked at Julien and said, "Julien, clear the room. I want to talk to Her Majesty alone." Knowing that Harrison was trying to give him a boost, Julien immediately said, "Okay, Dad!" After that, he quickly asked the doctor to leave. Before leaving, he turned and said to Harrison, "Dad, you have all the time in the world. Please have a nice chat with Her Majesty. I'll ask everyone to keep a distance of 20 meters from the room. Please rest assured." Harrison nodded in satisfaction and flicked in the air at him twice, motioning for him to leave. Julien gleefully closed the door and promptly urged everyone to stay 20 meters away from the room, including himself. Seeing that the room was clear, Helena cut to the chase. As she looked at Harrison on the bed, she stated, "Mr. Harrison, the main reaso
