Kathleen and Claire chatted for a long time in the executive lounge. During this period, Kathleen modified her story slightly, which made everything seem incomparably natural and smooth to Claire. According to Kathleen, she and her grandfather went to Aurous Hill at the beginning because her father’s physical condition was deteriorating. Someone introduced the genius doctor, Anthony Simmons, to her grandfather, so they flew to Aurous Hill immediately. After arriving in Aurous Hill, Kathleen used the alias, Kylie Jane, to keep a low profile. She had already chosen this identity when she entered Oskia, so this also made Claire realize that Kathleen did not come up with a fake name just to deceive her. Kathleen then told Claire that she and her grandfather found Anthony to treat her grandfather after arriving in Aurous Hill, and he really managed to cure her grandfather’s illness. But at that time, her eldest uncle took advantage of her grandfather’s absence in the United Stat
Charlie laughed and said modestly, “In fact, it’s mainly because she was born with such a foundation. You should know that Miss Fox is a member of the Fox family, and she was born into such a wealthy family, so she was destined to have a fate that’s one in hundreds of millions. Besides, she also has the support of her grandfather, so basically everything has already been set up for her, and the only thing left was her Feng Shui.” Claire said very seriously, “That’s already very powerful! I used to think that someone would come and ask you for an explanation one day if you always go out to read Feng Shui for others, but it seems that you really have great ability, Honey! It’s no wonder why people call you Master Wade! It’s because you’re a real master!” With a smile, Charlie rubbed his nose and said, “Honey, I’ll get a big head if you praise me too much.” Claire smiled. “Master Wade, you can be proud confidently!” … After a few hours, a Gulfstream aircraft landed at an airport
The next day, Charlie and Claire packed their luggage, checked out of the hotel, and left Providence, where they had been living for more than a month.The two drove directly to the airport in New York. Just as they were checking the car out at the airport, Charlie received a call from Elaine.Elaine asked him over the phone, “My dear son-in-law, I’m already at the airport. Where are you?”Charlie asked her, “Mom, are you in the VIP building?”“Yes.” Elaine said, “The director of the hospital, Director Camior, sent me here personally.”“Okay.” Charlie responded and said, “Wait for us in the lobby of the VIP building. We’ll be right there.” After hanging up the phone, Charlie also completed the procedures for returning the car and then turned around as he said to Claire, who was waiting, “Let’s go to the VIP building directly. Mom has already arrived.”Claire did not know that her mother had broken her leg again this time and could not help but tease, “My mother is really amazin
At this time, a woman who was about the same age as Elaine and looked like an intellectual then came forward and said to Claire with an apologetic expression, “You must be Claire, right?”Charlie had seen this woman before. She was the director of the Fox family’s hospital who was specially in charge of Elaine. It seemed that she had come over today to help Elaine cover up her lies in front of Claire. When Claire saw her, she nodded in a daze and asked in surprise, “Who are you?”The woman hurriedly said, “I’m your mother’s friend. She has been staying with me in New York these past few days. I’m really sorry, it’s all my fault. I failed to take good care of your mother, so she accidentally fell and broke her leg. Please don’t hold it against me...”When Claire heard this, she quickly said, “Aunt, please don’t say that. My mother’s leg can also be considered an old problem. It has already been broken a few times before, so she might be a little vulnerable to injury. Therefore, I c
The news of the Fox family was very sensational at the beginning, and Elaine was also aware of it.When she saw Kathleen on television for the first time in her capacity as the head of the Fox family to solve the Fox family’s huge crisis, she actually felt very emotional as she thought to herself back then, ‘We are both women, but she is actually in charge of a super financial empire worth trillions of US dollars when she’s only in her twenties. I have lived for fifty years but I don’t even have five hundred thousand dollars in my bank account. God is really unfair!’Elaine had a vivid memory of Kathleen, so she was incredibly excited when she saw Kathleen in person at this moment.However, what Elaine did not know was that Kathleen was actually the one who had given Jacob the Rolls-Royce Cullinan back in Aurous Hill.Kathleen then spoke up and said very politely to Elaine, “Hello, Aunt.”Elaine said excitedly, “Miss Fox, you... you know my daughter and son-in-law?”Kathleen smil
In truth, Kathleen, who was aside, originally felt that it did not matter, but when she saw that Claire seemed to be stopping it on purpose, she also smiled and said, “Aunt Elaine, I’m afraid it won’t look good if we take a photo together in this public place. Why don’t we take a picture together again when we have the opportunity to meet in private in the future?”When Elaine heard this, her originally disappointed mood instantly improved. She thought to herself, ‘My dear son-in-law is really capable, and even Miss Fox is his client. So, it’s inevitable that he will meet up with her again in the future. In that case, it will really be awesome if I can take a picture with Miss Fox at a private gathering when the time comes.’So, she agreed without hesitation and then said with a smile, “Miss Fox, you have to come to Aurous Hill to spend some time when you can. You should come to our house as a guest at that time!”Kathleen nodded and said with a smile, “No problem, Aunt Elaine! I wi
Claudia nodded gently and said seriously, “Okay, Charlie. Thank you, Charlie...”Stephanie, who was aside, also smiled and said, “Charlie, don’t forget that Claudia’s mother is also from Aurous Hill. Speaking of which, Aurous Hill is also Claudia’s natal home.”Charlie smiled and said, “Is that so? Do you have any relatives in Aurous Hill?”“Not anymore.” Claudia shook her head and said, “Both my grandparents have passed away, and I have an uncle who is abroad. I’ve not had much contact with him, so I basically do not have any relatives left. I can’t even pronounce the names of some of my distant relatives whom I haven’t met before.”Charlie smiled and said, “It’s okay, you still have Mrs. Lewis, Stephanie, and me. We are all your relatives.”Claudia was moved and nodded heavily. At this time, Charlie introduced to Mrs. Lewis, “By the way, Mrs. Lewis, let me introduce my mother-in-law to you.”With that said, he gestured toward Elaine as he said to Elaine, “Mom, this is Mrs. Le
Secondly, he felt emotional at the great turnaround in his life.Ever since he was reduced to trash that was trampled on by everyone at Lady Wilson’s birthday banquet, his life had really bottomed out before he could finally soar to the sky. At this moment, the captain walked into the cabin from the cockpit and said very politely, “Distinguished guests, I’m the captain of this flight. I’m very happy to serve you today. We have about eleven hours of flight, and we can take off if you’re ready.”Elaine subconsciously took out her cell phone. She wanted to ask the captain to start all over from the beginning, but she had no choice but to give up when she thought of how there were still many other people around. However, she still wanted to show off a little, so she said to Claire, “Claire, call your father and tell him to hurry up and get ready. Ask him to pick us up at the airport in the Rolls-Royce.”Claire said helplessly, “Mom, didn’t you hear what the captain just said? We have
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
