2024-12-05 12:00:35After the family checked into the hotel, Penelope gazed out the window, lost in thought. Caleb sat quietly beside her, fully aware of the hardships she had endured over the years.
Meanwhile, Logan and Valentina were reporting to Willy about their recent progress.
“Boss, Willy Environmental has now signed agreements with cities in 14 provinces to establish branches. Two cities have already completed the basic setup of their projects. After we wrap things up in M City, Valentina and I are planning to head to K State to oversee the air filtration units,” Logan said.
“You two have worked hard!” Willy praised them.
“Not at all, boss. By the way, please take a look at these.” Logan began opening several boxes on the floor. Two of the boxes were filled with real estate deeds, land requisition certificates, vehicle registrations, commercial property owner

“Tessa! You’ve never spent the money I gave you over the years?” Spencer was shocked by the 100 million his granddaughter had saved up.“Yes, Grandpa. I’m still in school and didn’t have many expenses. I planned to save this up for when I got married. But with the family in such a crisis, holding onto this money doesn’t help anyone, so I decided to bring it out.”“Good girl, good girl! Warren, look at your sister, and then look at yourself! How much do you have?” Spencer snapped at his grandson.“I...” Warren hesitated.“Enough, Dad!

The next morning, Spencer arrived early at the western restaurant in Borui Tianfu with Timothy and Zora. The three of them sat at the pre-arranged table, feeling a little tense and uneasy.“Dad, you’re the one handling the business talks today, right?” Timothy asked, trying to make sure of the situation.“Who else would? Do you think you can handle it?” Spencer snapped, clearly frustrated.“Dad, please, the guests are already here. Don’t get angry now,” Timothy quickly tried to defuse the situation.Spencer looked at his son and felt a pang of frustration. It seemed like The Norris Family might really fall apart under his management. He couldn’t help but feel hopeless, especially when he

"Child! But you’ve had it harder, haven't you? You grew up without the love and care of your parents! How did you manage all these years? And now, you’ve achieved so much!" Spencer's voice was filled with both admiration and regret."I've spent the past few years developing in a small city. It was only this year that I expanded to New York. Please don't get too emotional. Let's sit down first," Willy calmly replied."Such a good child! Our The Norris Family finally has an outstanding one like you!" Spencer continued, his excitement growing. "Zora! Timothy! Look at this child—he’s amazing! I’m ashamed of myself for not being there for my daughter! I didn’t help her when she was looking for you all these years!""But, Dad, you secretly helped Mom, right? Yo

"Hmph!""Penelope! You've been in Washington all these years? Why haven't you come back to visit me? I've tried reaching you several times, but you wouldn't answer my calls!" Spencer exclaimed, feeling a mix of frustration and sadness."Little sister, big sister's health has been poor all these years. It wasn't until I found Willy that I finally let go of my worries and started to get better! Now, Caleb and I are living in New York with Willy!" Penelope replied, her voice filled with relief."That's great!" Spencer smiled, though there was a hint of envy in his eyes."Little sister, how's Tessa? I remember she went to university in M City. She's in her senior year now, right?" Penelope asked, changing the subject.&nbs

The Norris family gathered again, and the tension in the air was palpable."Grandpa! Why are there so many luxury cars outside? What's going on?" Warren couldn't contain his curiosity and asked eagerly."Son, let me tell you. Your aunt's son, whom we found recently, is extremely wealthy now! All these cars are from him. You see those boxes? They're filled with valuable items — properties, cars, and even shares in several companies!" Spencer explained, his voice filled with disbelief and excitement."He gave these?" Warren asked, wide-eyed."Yes! When his father married your aunt, he didn’t give any dowry. Then the child was lost, and we only found him this year. By then, he had already become successful.

"Willy! What do you mean by 'it might be too late'? Tell Mom clearly!" Penelope immediately asked, her voice filled with excitement."Huh? Oh, it's nothing..." Willy panicked inwardly. He had said too much! But seeing how his parents were even more excited than he was, he started to feel less inclined to hide things from them anymore."Willy, tell Mom, I can accept anything! You're at the right age now, and so is Violet! Be honest, is she...?" Penelope asked, her tone slightly probing."Ah, Mom! Why are you asking me this?" Willy stammered, feeling awkward."Haha, don't hide it from your lover. Son, you're embarrassed, aren't you? So, that must be it!" Penelope teased."Ah, this is just too great! This year has been so happy for me! First, I found my long-lost son, and that joy hasn’t even worn off yet. Now, I’m going to be a grandmother! Darling, hug me!

By the evening, Willy still hadn’t received any news about his engagement ring being ready, so he stayed another night in M City. Later that evening, he accompanied Penelope and Caleb back to his grandfather’s house. Penelope’s family, along with his father and niece Tessa, gathered for dinner.The family atmosphere was harmonious. Tessa was particularly curious about Willy’s entrepreneurial journey, asking him countless questions throughout the meal, mostly about the challenges faced during the early stages of starting a business. Willy was more than happy to answer, though some of his responses were a bit exaggerated — after all, he had a system helping him behind the scenes!Meanwhile, in New York, Violet and Peyton were meeting up at the New York Department Store. The two girls had just shopped through two

"Tian, is there something wrong with your sister?" Patricia pointed to her head with a confused expression."Tian, my sister's fine. Her boyfriend is named Morgan, and he’s the owner of Willy Pharmaceuticals. The Levi you’re talking about is just the head of Willy Pharmaceuticals’ operations," Tian explained calmly."What do you mean?" Patricia asked, confused."Exactly what I said. I think meeting you today has kind of fulfilled a long-time dream of mine. Now that I’ve heard you reject me face-to-face, I think I can finally let go. After all, I’m not getting any younger, and all these years, it’s been me waiting for you. You’ve never agreed to be with me! So, Patricia, from now on, let’s just be friends. I won’t have any more feelings for you," Tian said, his voice

424: The First Auction
"No way! Mine are just superficial things! It’s nothing compared to the wealth accumulated by your great families!" Willy downplayed it.But deep inside, he was absolutely confident. The wealth these four families had accumulated was no match for his own. From his patents to his investments and the market value of the companies he had acquired, nothing compared to what he had built. They were certainly wealthy, but for someone like Willy, whose wealth was enough to rival entire countries, money was no longer a measure of success. Fortunately, Willy remained humble and kept a low profile. Even his past treasures were kept private. The extraterrestrial diamonds and gold he had acquired had simply been quietly broken up and filtered into the market without fanfare.As Willy and Abigail entered the auction hall alongside the members of the four families, all eyes were on them. Many businessmen and representatives from large commercial associations, who had never seen

The staff entered Willy’s items into the computer system and then proceeded with the evaluation process.By evening, all the evaluators had been unable to assess Willy’s items. Aside from the pearl, no one knew what the other items were. The dragon horn, the reptilian fruits, and even the glowing deep-sea gemstones were impossible to price. In the end, they had no choice but to leave the final determination of their value to Willy.After dinner, Willy was in his room playing video games when a staff member knocked on his door."Mr. Morgan, I apologize, but the evaluation team really couldn’t figure out what the items you submitted for tomorrow’s auction are. So, we’ve decided to auction them off early tomorrow, but you’ll need to personally introduce your items. Is that okay?""And what about the prices?" Willy asked."Mr. Morgan, we trust your integrity. You can set the prices for your items however you wish, an

When Willy and Abigail found Adrian, he had just finished checking into the hotel."Mr. Morgan, didn’t you say you had work to handle today? Didn’t expect to see you so soon! And who is this?" "This is Abigail, my sister!" "Hello, Adrian!" Abigail greeted him first, knowing who he was. "Hello, hello!" "Adrian, Big Shot gave you permission for this trip. How much did he allocate for you?" "Mr. Morgan, Big Shot has given me full authority for this. He gave me a card, but I don’t know exactly how much is on it. From what Big Shot said, it should be enough to purchase everything at the auction, but I wouldn’t dare to do that, haha. Big Shot gave me a list in advance of the items we need to bid on. Would you like to see it?" Adrian pulled out a carefully printed booklet from his bag, and the items Big Shot wanted to buy were marked in it. Willy flipped through it, and there were indee
421: Microsoft Headquarters
"Willy, what’s going on?" "Abigail, I can’t tolerate employees who sleep on the job. After knowing that it was the headquarters checking the accounts, this person still acted arrogantly. I won’t give them any chances. I’ll have either Logan or Liam handle this matter. Listen up!" Willy immediately called Liam. "Boss!" "Liam, since the person in charge at Water Blue Island was replaced, the new person sent over problematic accounts. I called to inquire, and this person was sleeping. I called three times before they finally answered, and when they picked up, they were just throwing a tantrum. Take some lawyers with you and investigate the account issues. If there’s even a penny of error, I want Yates to be sued!" "Understood, boss! What’s the issue with the accounts?" "During the island’s opening, a quarter of income was reported as zero, while tax expenses were normal, an

ChapterAbigail picked up the phone that Willy had pushed over to her and dialed the number at the top of the report. After a while, a woman answered."Hello, who’s this?" "Hi, this is Abigail, from Willy’s office." "Who? What 'gail'?" The person in charge of Willy Gold, part of Willy's group, didn’t recognize Abigail’s name, but hearing the mention of Willy’s office line gave her a clue. "I’m Abigail, calling from the headquarters. I wanted to speak with you about the report you submitted. There are two major errors in it that the head office wants to discuss with you." "Wait, you’re saying there are errors in my report?" "Yes, are you at your computer? Please open up the report and check the data on page 28, specifically the special profits. The decimal point is in the wrong place, which has resulted in Willy Gold’s profits being off by a factor of ten. C
419: Greed?
When Willy returned home that evening, he was surprised to find that all the household staff, nannies, and bodyguards had already helped Violet arrange the new luxury goods that had arrived. What surprised him even more was that everyone in the family was already there!"Mom, Dad! Is there some special occasion today? Why is everyone here?" "Hehe, silly son, we couldn’t celebrate your birthday when you were away on a business trip. Now that Violet mentioned the brands were delivering clothes, we figured it’d be a good time for everyone to celebrate your birthday together. Come on, sit down, let’s eat!" "Ah, the day’s already passed, there’s no need for all this! Besides, I really don’t have a habit of celebrating my birthday!" Willy tried to protest, but Violet had already pulled him to the dining table, where the whole family began singing Happy Birthday. Willy closed his eyes, making a silent wish for everyone&rsqu
418: Complementary Cooperation
The next afternoon, Willy was lounging around at the company when Logan told him, "Boss, the luxury items from LVMH have arrived. They just informed me that they’re on their way to your house now!""Great, I’ll have Eleanor take care of it. I already told Violet yesterday, and we’ve cleared two floors to store all these clothes and such."When Willy contacted Violet, she was busy studying pregnancy knowledge with Eleanor. This being Violet's first pregnancy, she hadn’t experienced many of the common pregnancy symptoms, so she hadn’t really paid attention to some of the important things to watch out for. But with her second pregnancy, especially being twins, things had been tough for her early on. Only in the past couple of months had she felt better, though she still occasionally suffered from nausea or dizziness. The doctor explained that because the time between this pregnancy and her first was too short, her body hadn’t fully reco

"Just tell me already! You can't say something like that and then leave me hanging. You're really going to drive me crazy!" "Host, the system is being honest with you. I feel like your eldest son might be the one the system sensed earlier, someone with a second system." "What?! Charles has a system? Is that even possible?" Willy was stunned. The idea of a father and son both having systems seemed far-fetched to him, like something straight out of a fantasy! "Maybe, maybe not. Your son is still too young. Even if he has a system, it can't be fully bound to him yet. Right now, he can't talk or think independently. You’ll need to wait until he's about four or five years old, when he’s able to think for himself. Then the system will complete the binding. By that time, you’ll feel the difference in him without needing the system to tell you." "System, you said before that the other system was more advanced than yours, righ
416: So Cheesy
"Alright, Logan, about this auction being held by A Country in collaboration with the World Collectors Association, could you check if we, as participants, can offer items for auction?" Willy said, as he pulled out various sea medicines and rare treasures from the merfolk realm."Boss, what are these items?""These are things I got before. These sea medicines, I’ll leave them for Willy Pharmaceuticals and the hospital to research. As for these rare treasures, if the auction allows us, the participants, to offer items, then I’ll put them up for sale. This pearl the size of a fist is rare, and this sea dragon horn, I always thought the ocean only had fish. But the underwater world is far more vast than our continents and skies!""So, boss, I’ll have someone take these away. As for the rest of the treasures, you should keep them for now.""Alright."By the time evening rolled around, Willy's company was still operating as usual. With him b
