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.

"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

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.

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. These things are his way

"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!

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.

"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.

"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
462: Once the Money Is in Place, Everything Is Negotiable
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!

461: A Familiar Feeling
"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
