“Mom, Dad, we’re back!” Tian called out, handing his coat to the maid as he and Violet walked into the living room.
“Hm, did you win anything at the auction today?” Owen asked casually.
“Dad, some major things happened today, and we need to have a serious talk.” Tian sat Violet down on the couch across from their father. Violet was still in a daze—unsure if she was simply overwhelmed with happiness or still trying to process everything that had happened. Paisley noticed her daughter's absent-minded expression and gently tapped her shoulder. “Violet, are you okay?”
“She’s still floating in her bubble of happiness!” Tian teased, sipping his tea. “Not as good as the tea at Hunzhi, though.”
“Well, of course not! Hunzhi serves premium Da Hong Pao tea that costs millions per ounce. This is just ordinary tea! There&rsqu

“Old man, what’s going on with you?” Paisley could tell Owen was upset.“What do you mean? I just don’t want Violet associating with someone who’s not serious about her! People like that are only interested in getting close to Violet because they’re after our family’s wealth!”“Owen!!!!” Paisley suddenly shouted, startling Tian, Owen, and even the maids in the room.The maids thought to themselves, *Uh-oh, the mistress is about to explode!*“Dear... you...”“What do you mean ‘you’? Don’t think I don’t see through your little scheme. What’s this nonsense about him wanting our family’s wealth? The Brown Family’s wealth might not even compare to that boy’s fortune! If you’re so rich, why didn’t you donate 100 billion for your daughter? Why didn’t you represent our family’s businesses and donate 900 billion? Now that our daughter has grown up and found a boy she likes, I fully support her pursuing her happiness. We’ve always believed in social standing being important for marriage, and fr

A bracelet-like object appeared on Willy's wrist, slightly lighter than gold with a purple ornament. Willy pressed the ornament, which popped open to reveal a small red, square-shaped medicinal substance. This was the fabled Restoration Ointment. He removed one piece and then pressed the purple ornament back, retrieving another piece.Willy remembered that this substance needed to be diluted with water and could also be mixed with other medicinal ingredients. It seemed like he would need to learn more about herbs. If he could combine the ointment with some health remedies and sell it to the market and hospitals, he’d be raking in gold.As Willy was lost in his thoughts, dreaming of success, his phone rang. Seeing who was calling, he couldn’t help but smile.“Hello, Violet! What a pleasant surprise to hear from you so early!”“Hehe, of course, I wanted to say thank you! By the way, my mom wants to invite you over for dinner today. Are you free?”“I’m free! What time...?”“Come by at 4

Standing at the entrance of The Brown Family estate, Willy suddenly felt nervous.“Come on, let’s go. What’s wrong?” Violet asked as she noticed Willy hesitating.“Nothing, just… let’s go inside. We should let the staff take the gifts in first,” Willy said, trying to compose himself. He picked up the tea, the two watches, and the Hermès Tanaka Ginza bag—these were the gifts specifically for Violet’s family, and he wanted to make a good impression.As they entered the mansion, Willy couldn’t help but admire the estate. The Brown Family home was a three-story villa, covering more than 1,200 square meters. In the backyard was a clean swimming pool, and the rooftop terrace was lush with greenery. The surrounding area was designed to feel like a tropical rainforest, giving the place a warm and inviting atmosphere.“Mom, Dad! I brought Willy!” Violet called out as they walked through the door.“Oh, you’re back! Willy, come in, have a seat!” Tian came down from upstairs, approaching Willy wi

Willy had a clear plan for how many chips his company would release to the market. He was cautious not to let his chips become too widespread, understanding that even if he had patented technology, the more abundant a product became, the less valuable its individual unit would be. This was basic business logic, no matter how innovative the technology was.Although Willy had strong feelings for Violet—feelings that went beyond mere friendship—he remained level-headed. Business was business, and it needed to be treated with professionalism."That's great! Thank you, Willy! Even 40,000 chips per month is a huge help. As long as we get some, we're happy," Tian said excitedly."Brother, Willy rarely gets a chance to visit. Let’s not talk about work all the time! Willy, what do you like to do in your free time?" Violet asked, hoping to learn more about him."Me? Does making money count? Hahaha.""Come on, I’m being serious!"<

"How did you know?" Tian exclaimed."I can tell just by looking at your expression!" Willy teased. "But don’t worry, I’ll be cautious.""Willy, let me ask you a serious question. Do you like my sister?" Tian asked bluntly."Yes, I do," Willy replied honestly, without hesitation. He looked Tian straight in the eyes, not flinching. Tian nodded slightly, seemingly satisfied with Willy's directness."Alright then, just remember this. If you ever hurt my sister, I swear I’ll go broke making your life miserable," Tian warned.Willy smiled wryly. *Big brother, I haven’t even officially started dating her, and you’re already giving me a hard time? Isn’t that a bit premature?* he thought.As Willy left, Tian’s mind drifted to memories of his sister following Roman Chopin around like a little puppy when they were younger.On the way home, Willy was lost in thought, recalling Tian's warning about Roman.<

"Our company's smart home appliances were running slowly due to the outdated chips, but ever since we replaced them with your chips, it's been flawless! We’ve already pushed our products into the market!" Sebastian Robinson exclaimed over the phone. "I had to call you and say thanks, brother!""No need to thank me, we made a deal after all!" Willy laughed."And by the way, 'that person' also wanted me to express their gratitude for the 1000 billion you donated—it solved a huge problem.""Well, it was 900 billion from me, and the other 100 billion was from Violet.""Haha, we all know you have feelings for the Brown Family’s princess! Let me know when the wedding is, don't forget to invite me!""Not so fast!" Willy chuckled. "By the way, I’ve agreed to supply chips to the Brown Family. Will that affect you?""There will be some impact, but it’s no big deal. Each company has its specialties, but the chip is the key. Now that we all have the same top-tier chips, it’ll come down to who can

That day, Willy immediately instructed Willy Pharmaceuticals to begin mass production of the fifth antiviral drug—*VirusClear*—preparing to stockpile it for the coming outbreak. Willy remembered that the system had warned him about a global virus outbreak, with over a billion people expected to be infected. Although the full force of the virus hadn’t reached his country yet, Willy knew he had to act swiftly to prepare enough doses. The antiviral drugs were just the first step—his real secret weapon was the *Restoration Ointment*, which would be the ultimate solution.Meanwhile, it had been five days since Willy last saw Violet, and she was starting to miss him."Willy, how have you been lately? I saw the news—you’re incredible! You've developed so many groundbreaking medicines that are shaking the world!" Violet’s voice was full of admiration.“Haha, it’s going okay. What about you? Been busy with anything? Has your cousin—or was it your childhood friend—arrived in New York yet?” Will

"Your Willy Pharmaceuticals has been getting global attention these past couple of days! You've already started signing import-export agreements, right? Plus, you've begun point-to-point distribution to hospitals, correct?" Tian remarked, clearly impressed."Bro, have you been investigating me?" Willy felt a bit of sweat on his forehead. He had just finished securing deals with several major countries, but how had the Brown Family caught wind of it already?"I’m not investigating you. Any smart businessman would figure that out on their own! I’m just saying, this virus outbreak could be an opportunity for you to develop a new drug. That’s what I meant by an opportunity.""I understand, Tian. Alright, I’ve got to go. Violet and I are about to eat. Catch you later!" Willy felt uneasy, sensing that Tian seemed to be keeping close tabs on him, even though his intentions were just to help."So, what did my brother say?" Violet asked, cu

At that moment, Willy was on the phone with the underground reptilian Eskar.Originally, Willy thought the call was just another prank, so he ignored it without a second thought. But when the same number called for the fourth time, Willy started to wonder if he had forgotten something important."Hello, this is Willy," he answered politely."Oh my God! Willy, you finally picked up! I thought the phone you set up in the Antarctic was broken!" Willy could feel the panic in Eskar's voice, almost as if he was about to cry."Eskar! Haha, sorry, I was in a meeting. I've actually been meaning to contact you guys, I guess the fertilizer should be running low by now, right?""Yes, Willy! Could you send us some more?

I thought maybe you’d want to try them. I could send some back wi

"Oh, old buddy, with current human technology, it’s just not possible. The asteroid is moving too fast. Our scientists have suggested the idea, but the data shows that it can't be done. A small spacecraft would be shattered if it tried to approach the asteroid directly. If it tries to follow from behind, it just can’t catch up. So, this plan won’t work.""Are you saying that if we could create a spacecraft that matches the asteroid's speed, then we could get close enough to plant explosives and destroy it?" someone asked."That’s one way to put it, but can we actually build something like that?" the representative from Russia asked."Wait a minute! NVMD! Your spacecraft! The one you sent over a while ago to scare us, the one that looks like a flying saucer!""Yes! I saw the video. It just flew right over, moving so fast that even our tracking missiles couldn't intercept it! How fast is your spacecraft?"<

Peyton, Ethan, this is Mike, the head of DC.L, the world’s largest private hospital. A while back, when Violet was giving birth, I acquired full ownership of their global network of hospitals, but I still haven’t handled everything. Now that I have some time, I want to set things up.

You scared the little young master!""I didn’t mean to! I’m just a little worried about my sister!" Tian quickly explained. Behind him, Paisley, Owen, Penelope, Caleb, Abigail, and the others had all arrived.The group washed their hands and sanitized before entering Violet's maternity room."Oh my gosh! This baby looks just like Willy when he was little!" Penelope suddenly exclaimed."Babe, calm down, today is the day our grandson is born. Don’t start making wild comparisons!""Can I hold him? Let me hold my big baby! Aww, he’s so cute!""Cute?" Willy and Violet both responded in unison, then added together, "Cute, cute! Hahaha!""Willy, now that the baby’s born, have you decided on a name?"

Tian replied, quickly getting dressed.Owen saw that both Babe and his son were ready and immediately threw on some pants, grabbed a jacket, and rushed out the door.After Willy finished calling his parents, Eleanor had completed all the paperwork and handed it to him. Willy was now pacing back and forth in the hallway like a headless chicken."Eleanor, I already informed the hospital that I’ll be in the delivery room. Why is there no news yet?""Sir, don’t worry. Just wait a little longer."Willy wasn't worried; he was scared. He was terrified something might

It feels so good!""But we’re still worried about you," Caleb replied, his voice full of concern. "I remember when I first saw that video, I almost had a heart attack. That’s my daughter! After raising you all these years, how could someone bully you like that? Luckily, that jerk got sentenced to death. If not, I wouldn't have let him go!""Alright, let’s eat! Your sister's been saying she’s hungry!" The family sat down to eat, enjoying their meal. However, during the meal, Violet once again felt like she might have diarrhea, but after a moment, it pas

During lunch, Abigail and her three friends toured the university and heard all kinds of rumors about themselves and Willy."Oh my god! This is ridiculous! That’s my real brother, and people are making up all these lies. I don’t know who started this nonsense!" Abigail complained."Abigail, I can totally feel you now. It's true—you're not in the spotlight, but the rumors sure are. Look at our brother, he’s barely at school, and yet he’s the center of all these stories!""Forget it, don’t worry about it. In a few days, these rumors will blow over!"The four girls checked the time—it was almost 2 PM, time for their next class. They gathered their materials and headed to the classroom.Inside the classroom, one boy was scrolling through Douyin (Chinese TikTok) when he suddenly saw the final report on the K-State college incident."Whoa!

After returning home that evening, Willy called Caleb and Penelope to report that everything was fine. He told them that tomorrow, Friday, he would send a driver to pick up Abigail for dinner, so the family could have a meal together and catch up."Good, son, we feel reassured knowing you're handling things. Your sister called us earlier, but your mom and I are still worried. A girl going through something like this could have lasting emotional effects.""Don’t worry, Mom and Dad. I’m also concerned, which is why I brought Abigail to New York. You two should visit her often, comfort her a bit. But from what I can tell, she’s doing well—she’s recovering pretty fast.""Sigh, we never expected something like this to happen...""Mom, Dad, there’s no need to blame yourselves.

It turned out that the food on a private jet was far better than what you would get on a regular commercial flight!Maverick, along with a group of drivers and Ethan, Clara, and the others, had already been waiting outside the airport for their boss’s arrival.As Willy and his group walked out of the terminal, they were met with a row of luxury cars and a few top-tier business vehicles.
