The police officer asked coldly, “Since you’ve already made so much money, why are you still constantly selling misery online? Your wife’s Mercedes-Benz Big G should be enough to pay for the living expenses and medical expenses for both of you, right? The netizens have been kind enough to help you solve your problems, so why didn’t you stop after your problem was solved? Why did you continue making use of the netizens’ sympathy for your family? You already have an endless amount of money to spend but you’re still saying that your family is so miserable in front of the camera. Do you think this is right?”Christopher was speechless for a moment. He knew that this was an outrageous matter and that they were wrong. They could obviously pay for their treatment with three thousand dollars but they had decided to raise thirty million dollars through fundraising. This was definitely a problem, so having the police come to their door was already something he had envisioned earlier. Christop
Personal anchors such as Hannah could apply directly for cash withdrawals from the platform for their income from live broadcasting, but the money was pre-tax, and the anchors needed to declare taxes themselves. However, Hannah had never filed for a tax return because she was reluctant to lose a large amount of income.Now that the tax department had come to her, she suddenly panicked and could only lie and say, “Officer, you’ve also seen the situation of my family. There are indeed two paralyzed patients and an elderly in my family who needs to be taken care of. I was really busy, so I forgot to do it at the moment...”With that said, she had a flash of inspiration, and she quickly came up with an excuse for herself as she said, “You see, I haven’t been selling goods on my live broadcast for long, and it has only been a month. In fact, I planned to go and file for a tax return after I was done getting busy over the next few days...”The personnel from the tax department knew that
“What?!” Hannah said in shock, “I would be sentenced to prison for ten years?!”The police officer said indifferently, “Once it is characterized as fraud, the amount of money involved would be a particularly large amount. The starting sentence would be ten years, and it would include confiscation of all your illegal gains. If your amount of money increases during this period of time, you will definitely be sentenced to ten years or even longer.”Hannah was stunned. She did not expect that there would be such serious consequences to selling misery on a live broadcast that would even encompass criminal law. However, even though it was Elaine who had somehow helped Hannah out of that predicament, Hannah could not forgive her at all. She even secretly swore in her heart that she would definitely find a way to exact revenge on Elaine when she was released. Meanwhile, Hannah’s video was still fermenting on the internet. More and more people who had bought things from Hannah’s live br
As the popularity of the video continued increasing and Hannah was formally detained, the Aurous Hill police also released the results of handling this matter to the public.The netizens were initially very dissatisfied with the punishment when they heard that Hannah was only sentenced to ten days of administrative detention.However, the police also showed Hannah’s husband and son’s medical report to the public. The father and son duo had indeed been paralyzed in bed for several months and could not receive active and effective treatment due to the lack of money.However, the netizens were still skeptical when they first saw this article. After all, in Elaine’s subsequent exposure of the information, it was said that this family lived in a villa at the famous Thompson First, where the price of a single unit exceeded one hundred million dollars. Therefore, everyone was questioning that even if Hannah’s husband and son were really paralyzed, how could she not bring them for treatment
Jacob, who was still a little disheveled, said impatiently from inside, “Why are you knocking? I want to rest even if you don’t want to sleep!”Elaine said impatiently, “Just open the door when I ask you to do so. Why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up and open the door!”After that, Elaine began knocking on the door vigorously again.Jacob had no choice but to open the door. He glanced at her and said in annoyance, “Hurry up if you have anything to say.”Elaine looked at Jacob and frowned when she saw that he was only wearing a pair of briefs. She then said, “Put on your pants quickly and drive me out to buy some firecrackers. I want to celebrate by setting off some firecrackers!”“Firecrackers?” Jacob muttered in dissatisfaction, “It’s not the New Year so why do you want to set off firecrackers?!”Elaine blurted out, “Hannah is done for! This kind of great joyous event is celebrated by the whole world, so why can’t I set off firecrackers to celebrate?”Jacob waved his
After Elaine gave up on the idea of buying firecrackers to celebrate, Wendy rushed to the police station to bring Christopher, Harold, and Lady Wilson out of the police station.Wendy had been in a meeting at the company tonight when she received news that something had happened to her mother. She drove the company car and rushed back home, but the police called her before she got home and asked her to head to the police station to pick up her family members.Therefore, Wendy hurried to the police station and picked up her father, brother, and grandmother after going through the formalities. On the way back, Wendy was driving and Lady Wilson was sitting in the passenger seat. Christopher and Harold were slumped in the back seat, bound by seat belts. Lady Wilson kept crying continuously in the car as she muttered, “It’s over for the Wilson family... It’s completely over...”Harold also had tears in his eyes as he clenched his teeth and cursed, “That b*tch, Elaine, is really d*mne
Christopher also sighed despondently and said, “Wendy, you’re right...”Wendy was silent for a moment as if she had made some kind of decision. She suddenly restarted the car and made a right turn at the intersection where she should be going straight, then spoke up and said, “Forget it. I’ll send you two to the hospital right now! You should hurry up and recover from your injuries so that you can go out and find a decent job after you recover!”Christopher nodded and said dejectedly, “To be honest, I’m about to lose my mind from lying in bed for half a year. I’ll go and find a job after I recover...”After saying that, he looked at Harold again and said, “Harold, you’ve been fooling around for most of your life, and it’s time for you to get a little work done! When the time comes, both of us will look for a job. Neither one of us can stay home idly to wait to be fed!”Harold knew that his dream of becoming a rich heir was shattered, so he could only nod, choked up, and said, “I kn
Wendy’s determination startled Lady Wilson. At the same time, she also felt a chill down her back.She was shocked because she did not expect that Wendy, whom she had always led by the nose, had become more and more powerful ever since she had taken up the position as the manager of the etiquette company. She even made it clear that everyone in the family would have to obey her from now on.As for the chills down her back, it was because she realized that Wendy had never forgiven her for what she had done back then. The only reason why Wendy was still taking care of her instead of taking revenge on her was mainly because she was old. However, Wendy had already made herself very clear. If she really continued relying on her age to cause trouble, she would really be left with nothing and no one to depend on.Lady Wilson was not a fool. She knew that in a family, whoever controlled the money had the right to speak for the whole family.She was old and had no assets. It was even a pr
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
