2024-11-23 12:00:20The servant Mabela couldn’t help but feel exasperated by Paisley’s comment. What kind of mother says such a thing about her daughter? But one glance at the overflowing trash can filled with failed culinary attempts, and even she began to worry.

While Willy and Violet were eating, Willy occasionally fed her a few bites. They chatted about work, and Violet seemed incredibly proud of the factory she had personally overseen. She even declared that she wasn’t planning on returning to help with The Brown Family’s operations anytime soon, especially since the environmental company was already half-owned by them.
Violet was talking excitedly, her voice chirping nonstop about her projects. She suddenly noticed Willy staring at her intently, his expression mischievous. Her intuition told her something

“Paisley and Valentina, how have they been doing lately?”“Miss Paisley has been working hard to manage the big picture, but she still needs time to mature. As for Valentina, her progress has been remarkable. I believe, young master, you’ll put her in a significant position soon. Levi and I have intentionally included her in business discussions during negotiations so she can observe and learn.”“Well done! Call Paisley and my sister in. Let’s have a quick meeting—I’m here in Washington with a mission.”“Yes, young master! Please wait a moment.”While Mia instructed the secretary to summon them, she poured Willy a cup of coffee.

Christian answered the call, his hand trembling slightly. “Hello, Mr. Price! How can I help you?” “Mr. Chopin, I’m calling on behalf of the bank. After reviewing your recent loan application, I regret to inform you that we’re halting further disbursements of the 60 billion loan you were approved for. Additionally, we’ve reassessed the terms and found irregularities in collateral and projected ROI, which necessitate immediate repayment of the advanced funds. You have 30 days to settle the balance.” Christian’s face went pale. “Mr. Price, this... this is sudden! We’ve already allocated part of the funds into development. Recalling the loan now would destroy our operations!” “Mr. Chopin, these are orders from the board, and I must follow them. I suggest you look into why several major stakeholders in the industry have distanced themselv

"Willy, Christian from The Chopin Family just called me," Paisley said, her tone laced with a mix of curiosity and disgust. Willy chuckled, already having a sense of what was coming. "Oh? And what did the esteemed Mr. Christian have to say?" "He wants your contact information. He said it’s regarding The Chopin Family's current situation and that he’d like to talk to you directly." Willy leaned back in his chair, a sly smile playing on his lips. "Did he mention why he suddenly felt the need to reach out to me?" "No, he didn’t. But from the way he sounded, it was like his house was on fire. Something must have gone terribly wrong on their end," Paisley replied. "Let me guess—business deals falling apart, banks recalling loans, and every potential partner avoiding them like the plague?" Willy asked, his voice dripping with amusement. "Pretty much sums it up," Paisley

“Christian?”“Yes, Roman’s father. He asked me for your contact information. Said he has some business matters to discuss with you. Willy, what do you think?”“Aunt, just send him my number. Otherwise, I’m afraid he’ll keep bothering you.”“It’s okay. Worst case, I’ll just turn off my phone!”“Hehe, but what about tomorrow? The day after? You can’t keep your phone off forever. Go ahead and send it. Besides, I have some unfinished accounts to settle with The Chopin Family.”“Alright, Willy.”Paisley quickly sent Willy’s number to Roman and, after some thought, immediately blocked Roman. The moment Roman received the contact, he passed it to Christian, who promptly made the call.“Hello, this is Christian, the head of The Chopin Family. Am I speaking with Willy?”“Oh, so it’s The

Christian was rushed to the hospital once again. Everly sat by his bedside, watching her husband and son with a sense of helplessness. "Roman, what happened between you and your father? How did he suddenly collapse?" "It’s all Willy’s fault! If it weren’t for him, Dad wouldn’t have gotten so worked up!" "Willy? Wasn’t your father taking you to apologize to him?" "Yes, we apologized, but that Willy mocked and provoked Dad. In the end, he even wanted to buy out all our company’s shares. Ridiculous!" Hearing this, Everly said nothing further. Ever since her face had been burned, she found herself caring less and less about the world around her. "Dear, wake up! Please wake up!" Everly gently called out beside Christian. After receiving emergency treatment, Christian was fine, though his head still bore visible injuries. He stirred as he heard Everly’s voice. &nbs

Willy listened to Christian’s fluent English with mild approval but didn’t let it distract him from chasing the debt.“Mr. Chopin, let’s pick up the pace. Forty minutes have already passed; you’ve got 1 hour and 20 minutes left. Lawyer, keep a close eye on him—some people like to use their age as an excuse to slack off.”“Yes, boss!

That way, whenever I visit Washington, I can stay close to you and Mia.”When Brooke heard this, she quickly asked, “Mr. Morgan, which villa are you interested in?”“Let me see,” Willy said, looking in the direction Brooke pointed. Among the eight central villas, one stood out: larger than the rest and set apart for extra privacy.

"Really?" "Yes! Hurry up and come out; I don’t have time for jokes!" Rose hesitated but eventually walked out of the estate gate, only to see Willy looking utterly exhausted. "Goodness, how do you even manage this? Just like when you rescued Crescent Moon—you’re always appearing and disappearing like a ghost!" "I have my secrets." "I have mine too." "…Right. Let’s head inside. I need to check what’s going on with Naomi." "Come on, then!" Rose seemed to realize her phrasing was odd but didn’t press further. She led the way through the heavily secured checkpoints, showing her credentials as they went. Willy, meanwhile, underwent a series of thorough security checks before they were allowed to proceed. ---Minutes later, they arrived at the central command room.

"Charles, when did you learn all this?" Willy asked, clearly surprised by his son’s knowledge."Quite a long time ago, I think! I don’t really remember! But now, if I learn more, it should be word problems. I’m really interested in that! Will the teachers teach us word problems today?""Uh... Charles, I’m sorry, but the teachers can’t teach that right now. The other kids here haven’t learned these numbers yet, so they can’t start with word problems. How about you spend some time with the teacher later to go over the numbers and reinforce what you already know?""Well, I guess I’ll accept that," Charles replied with a playful grin.At lunchtime, because of Charles’ presence, Spike added several extra dishes to the already rich menu. Charles ate a small portion, remembering what his father had taught him: to eat balanced meals to ensure proper nutrition. He knew that eating only what he liked could lead
464: The First Experience at Kindergarten
The next morning, Willy and Violet set off with Charles, heading to the Grok University Kindergarten. The kindergarten principal had already received word from the president of Grok University that the largest sponsor of the school would be bringing his child to try out the kindergarten for a week. This news made him both nervous and excited, so he immediately arranged for Charles to be placed in the best class.The top-tier Bentley slowly pulled up to the kindergarten’s gates. Willy got out first and then took Charles out of the car."Hello, hello! You must be Mr. Morgan! Oh my goodness, your little one is just adorable!" the principal exclaimed."Hello, yes, I am," Willy responded with a smile."Mr. Morgan, welcome! I’m th
463: Does He Still Need to Learn?
In the days that followed, Willy ignored all the external requests for help and focused solely on managing his business and family matters. If Big Shot truly couldn’t handle things, he would come to Willy for help, and Willy hadn’t forgotten about the arrogance and unreasonable behavior from Y Country. He was always ready to take action against them when the time came.Although he had earlier contacted the merfolk to have sea monsters attack the EU's coastal cities, causing some damage, that was hardly anything serious. It wasn’t even a warning, really. Willy wasn’t in a rush; time was on his side. However, he did need to hurry up with sorting out Charles' kindergarten situation.Coincidentally, Neil from New York University and Cecilia from Grok University reached out to Willy. Both of them informed him that their respective top-tier facilities had been completed and were already running smoothly. They invited Mr. Morgan to visit and suggested

The recent eruption of Mount Vesuvius had been different from previous eruptions, which had been intermittent and not particularly violent. This time, it was as if the magma had been building up for years and suddenly erupted with full force, sending plumes of lava into the sky above Europe. Within seconds, the southern coastline of Italy was covered in volcanic ash. Soon after, countless rocks and ash rained down, and within an hour, several nearby provinces were enveloped in black smoke. The ash, carried by the monsoon winds, spread to countries like Switzerland and Hungary.When Willy woke up, the news of the volcanic eruption was dominating global headlines, and his personal email had been bombarded with urgent requests for help from EU countries.Willy glanced at the messages briefly, ignoring all the ones related to the volcanic eruption, and instead focused on the important work-related emails, responding to them as needed.Ding!

"Heh, that’s normal, right? Babe, the kind of kindergarten you’re talking about, it’s not cheap, is it?""It’s not too bad! These few I looked at cost about twenty-something million a year.""To us, twenty million is nothing—just a meal or a drink. But for regular people, that’s a year’s salary. They’re spending everything they make, not eating or drinking, just to send their kid to kindergarten. Doesn’t that seem expensive to you?""So, darling, are you saying that kindergarten is becoming more commercialized now? Forget about how well they actually educate the kids—just focus on flashy facilities and complex curricula to confuse parents into signing up?""Heh, pretty much! Look at these brochures you’re holding. All they do is praise how amazing, powerful, and impressive their kindergarten is. But do any of them mention that the goal of the kindergarten is to educate the children? To me,

Or, if you two want, you can come to my company and I’ll show you around. You can choose for yourselves?"Willy actually wanted to keep the two of them close by, to protect his family. It would make him feel more at ease, especially after Y Country's Big Shot had sent assassins after him. After that, Willy realized how important safety truly was. Even though he had Wione and the others by his side, with a family as large as his—his parents, three children, his Babe, his sister, his uncle’s family, and sometimes even his secretary—it was a lot to keep track of. He wondered what Black Wolf thought about all this.But then he remembered: Black Wolf had left Big Shot’s side for the sake of living a simpler life. So, how could he expect so
459: Sea Monster Attack
Willy stood in the plaintiff's section, watching with a smile as the EU representatives argued vehemently."Order! Since you’ve all agreed to the compensation, the next matter will be for the defendants to handle their own claims!" the judge declared, signaling for Willy to leave the courtroom.There was no need for further debate. Willy’s evidence was solid, and the entire world was watching, so everyone knew who was right and who was wrong.Willy glanced over at the EU representatives, a deep smile on his face. The compensation was only the first step for him. Heh, Europe was so close to his allies, the merfolk. If, in the near future, there were reports of sea monsters attacking coastal cities in the EU, it wouldn’t be his problem.Willy left the Netherlands, prepared a sufficient amount of food for the merfolk, and then piloted his aircraft to the merfolk's territory.After a brief negotiation with the merfolk, he handed over
458: The Court Hearing
In the afternoon, Willy received a video from Big Shot. It was a heated argument that took place during a meeting of the European Union, where several members disagreed with Y Country’s sanctions. The video clearly indicated that the EU had initiated the conflict. Willy couldn’t help but admire Big Shot's skills—he had clearly been setting up his plan for years, planting "landmines" along the way.At 3 PM, Willy turned off the surveillance at Willy Manufacturing, moved the equipment into his system space, and restored the video. Then, he flew to Will Planet.Upon arriving at Will Planet, he found an empty spot and took out various large and heavy pieces of equipment. Of course, Willy didn’t need to lift them; pulling them out of his system space was instantaneous.Meanwhile, the scientists on Will Planet were enjoying the magnificent sights of the planet.When they saw Willy arrive, they greeted him warmly."So, how’s

"I understand, Willy. You go ahead and rest. We’ll go take a break. He can’t die just yet, right?""No, he can’t die." Willy had everything under control in his mind. The poison was only going to give him endless hallucinations, and with his legs broken, there was no way he could run away. He wouldn’t die either—though he’d probably meet his end tomorrow.It was already 3 AM when Willy left the compound, and he quickly made his way home. To his surprise, Violet was still awake!"Darling! You’re back!" Violet’s voice sounded hoarse."Poor thing, you’ve been crying, haven’t you? Your voice is all hoarse.""I’m fine. I was just worried about you and the child. What happened to those two bastards?""One’s dead, and the other’s spilled some major information. We’ll have to wait for Big Shot’s decision tomorrow.""Major information?""Yes. The o
