Jaime said angrily, "Dad! Mom and Sophie are now in a state of uncertainty because of him, and you're telling me not to resist him too much? Didn't you see the video circulating on the internet? Did you not see what happened to Mom and Sophie in that car?!" "Foolish boy!" Sheldon shouted angrily, "It has already happened, what can you undo by fighting for your life with your grandfather?" "Not only will you not be able to undo anything, but you yourself will also be doomed!""You have to know that I am the eldest son of the Schulz family. You are the eldest son and grandson of the Schulz family. Your grandfather will live at most another ten years or so, and by then, if I can't be the head of the Schulz family, I'll just have to get the hell out far away!""If your second uncle, your third uncle, or your fourth uncle sits as the head of the family, will they let our family have a good time?!""Let me ask you, do you know what happened to each and every one of your grandfat

What appeared in front of Sophie's vision was a luxury suite in a hotel, and she was lying on a comfortable bed that was more than two meters wide. For a moment, she thought that she was an out-of-body soul after death. She immediately wanted to look for the whereabouts of her mother. Sophie looked around only to find that her mother was lying next to her! She couldn't care less about the dream reality at this point, and couldn't wait to reach out and shake her mom's body, shouting under her breath, "Mom... Mom, wake up..." Helen, who was still in a deep sleep, woke up quietly. After she had come to her senses, she looked at Sophie in front of her and exclaimed, "Sophie... Are you all right?!" Sophie said hurriedly, "Mom, I… I don't know if I'm okay..." Helen looked around and subconsciously asked, "Are we… We are not in the tunnel?! How could..." Sophie also shook her head subconsciously, "I do not know what is going on, this seems to be a hotel..."

Helen immediately stopped her. "Sophie! Don't talk nonsense! How do you know that Master Lennard's calculations are not accurate?! If you had listened to him and gone back to Eastcliff, you wouldn't have encountered such a big problem in the first place." Sophie was not convinced, and she said offhandedly, "Then, if I had gone back, wouldn't your safety have been compromised, Mom? If I was not here, my benefactor would not have appeared, then you would be in a bad spot..." Helen sighed and said, "Hey, this is the world's karma. Master Lennard at that time also only calculated the connection between you and him. He did not calculate that I would be related to this benefactor of yours through you, and he did not calculate that I would also be saved by your benefactor..."Speaking of this, she could not help but utter, "This benefactor is truly very valuable to our family… I wonder if I can find him and thank him in person ..." Sophie came back to her senses and said with u

Sophie did not expect that not only did her benefactor not show his face, he even refused to allow her to communicate with the outside world. She suddenly felt rather disappointed. She asked tentatively, “Will you let me report my safety to my family? My grandfather must be very worried about the safety of my mother and I. We would just like to inform him that we are both safe…” The woman shook her head and said seriously, “Sorry Ms. Schulz, our young master’s order was to not contact anyone from the outside, no matter who the other party is.” Although Sophie didn’t understand thoroughly, she nodded her head slightly and thought to herself, ‘Although this arrangement looks as if my benefactor has placed me under house arrest, I believe he must have his reasons, and it must be a good and thoughtful intention.’ Therefore, she said, “I understand, thank you.” The lady immediately said, “You’re welcome, Ms. Schulz. If you and Mrs. Schulz need anything, just inform us. Including w

Sophie couldn’t help but sigh. She felt that what her mom had said was right. The sons of these top families may be mysterious to the outside world, but for the top family members, they knew the sons of these other top families very well. These top-notched family sons, although they were all so-called high-achieving students who had returned from their studies abroad, Sophie knew very well that they were just glamourous rubbish. It was just for show, and they were actually not what they seemed to be. To put it nicely, they were like an embroidered pillow filled with straws, where beauty was only skin-deep. To put it frankly, it was just gold-coated trash. Although these young masters could speak proper English as well as understand the pattern of the global economy and development, when asked to perform hands-on work, they would immediately turn to the papers, completely unprepared. In the past, there was a well-known son who was known as a business wizard. He was able to

Sophie’s assumption suddenly popped up, and Helen immediately had a sudden realization.She nodded in agreement and said, “Since this benefactor wants to settle us in properly and even strictly hide the secret that we are alive, he would definitely not just casually put us into some random hotel…”“Besides, he has placed so many people at the door, so it is very likely that this hotel is his property, just like you’ve said.”“Even if he’s not the owner, he should at least have a deep-rooted relationship with this hotel.”Sophie nodded, ran to the desk in the living room of the suite, and opened the drawer.Generally, hotels would put some papers for the guests to write on their desks. The hotel name had to be printed on it.When she saw the words ‘Shangri-La Hotel’ at the header of the letter-sized paper, she couldn’t help exclaiming, “Mother! The hotel we’re in is the Aurous Shangri-La Hotel! If I remember correctly, this hotel is the property of the Wade family, right?”Helen

“No.” Helen said seriously, “If everything is truly a coincidence, it should just happen once, then. For example, if you happened to meet someone who looked very similar to me, that’s normal. After all, I’ve met people who looked a lot like Curtis by coincidence…” “But…” As Helen continued, her tone and expression were dead serious. “However, I’ve unexpectedly met this young man in Aurous Hill. Curtis was killed in Aurous Hill that year, and his son also disappeared in Aurous Hill. So, this is the second time this coincidence is happening.” “Also! I not only met him in Aurous Hill, but I also met him at the gate of Curtis’s former residence! If he has nothing to do with Curtis, why did he appear there?!” Sophie was silent for a moment, nodded, and replied seriously, “Mother, I think your analysis makes sense. The young man you saw at the gate of Curtis Wade’s former house was most likely his son…” Speaking of this, Sophie turned her sentence around and said, “Mother, Curtis’s

When Charlie had settled Sophie and her mother in the Aurous Shangri-La hotel, he did not expect that the hotel would reveal his identity to a certain extent. Last night, after he had posted the video online, he had not paid much attention to this matter. Ultimately, he knew that the video would definitely drag Cadfan Schulz and his entire family into the pits of a national crusade. He had even uploaded the video to a Wade family-owned platform, so there was no worry that the Schulz family would remove the video. After all, to the Wade family, no matter how much money they were willing to pay, they would not be doing any sort of business transaction with the Schulz family. Jeremiah Wade would never miss this great opportunity to humiliate and attack the Schulz family. When he woke up in the morning, Claire was still sound asleep. Charlie gently got out of bed and washed up before making his way down to the first floor where his mother-in-law, Elaine, was already preparing b

Charlie smiled. "Who, me? You'd laugh at me, but it was only after Steven found me that I learned to drive. I never bought my own car either and only had the two supercars gifted to me, and I only drove those a handful of times at best. Even now, I'm driving the BMW 5-series I bought for my father-in-law."Then, he remembered Marianne Long and said, "I did drive a friend's Tesla back to Hong Kong, but it was only for a short time, and I didn't manage to look into their so-called assisted driving system."Yolden thought about it and smiled, "But y'know… how would I describe the car, specifically? Have you heard of Mario Balotelli, the soccer player?"Every man present aside from Keith nodded—Mario had been a philosopher on the soccer field, and even those who didn't watch soccer were familiar with his name.Nodding, Yolden continued, "The way I see it, Mario has been a player with top-class hardware but third-rate software. Give him Messi or Ronaldinho's intelligence, and he'd be a

Kaeden then asked, "Well, professor, how do you suppose we overtake the competition at turning points? Or indeed, what qualifies as succeeding in that respect?"Yolden thought about it, formulating his words before explaining, "My personal understanding of the matter isn't simply to aim for turning points. Instead, it's things like staying on the inner lane of the race track and reaching the finish line faster by going where no other race car had gone before—or indeed where people never thought to go before."That's the case for new energy cars. Our fossil fuel energies have constantly lost to other countries and would always come up short. But with new energy cars, we can change the rules altogether."We can't catch up to their engine tech? Then we won't—there's no way they are masters in electric-powered engines, are they? They've spent decades on internal combustion engines and haven't the first clue about electric-powered engines."So, while everyone hasn't turned all their foc

The Ackers were really interested in Yolden's perspective.For their family, investing in the new energy automotive industry wasn't meant to make money—they simply intended to add to Oskia's strength as a manufacturer.But with Yolden's input, they had new things to look forward to.If they really could propel their business to giants like Tesla, opportunities and profits would go without saying—there was also no question that it supported and improved Oskia's local car industry and manufacturing sector.Giants in the manufacturing sector were different from online giants, as the latter often enforced a stranglehold monopoly. Before they had the monopoly, they would be offering perks and subsidies to the market, and when they gained sufficient customers and consumer faith, they would start choking the market for profits.To put it in perspective, a five-mile Uber ride would cost five bucks before, and the driver would be paid ten for it. But after Uber got the monopoly, the rider

Charlie hadn't thought about that and was therefore surprised.When he returned from the States, the Ackers were just planning to found a new automotive brand powered by new energy.And they were ready to acquire one now?With that in mind, he quickly asked, "Uncle Kaeden, do you mean to say that you've already acquired one?""Yes," Kaeden nodded. "There's this company having trouble with capital, and their founding directors were looking for financiers wherever they could reach. I bumped into their CEO in Eastcliff by chance myself and discussed it with Christian—we both decided to acquire it for 3 billion USD since it's really not that much."Charlie nodded—3 billion really wasn't much, even for himself, let alone the Ackers.That was when Yolden couldn't resist asking, "Mr. Kaeden, could you perhaps be referring to Godot Autos?""Why, yes," Kaeden replied, surprised. "Are you perhaps familiar with them?"Yolden nodded. "I have heard of them and that they were in trouble with

Charlie smiled. "All is well. Aurous Hill is a safe place."And with that, he introduced Yolden to his maternal grandparents, who were enthusiastic to learn that he was a classmate of Ashley's.As the family invited Yolden to take his seat, Keith told his sons, "Be sure to make our guest feel at home—the professor was your sister's old friend, after all."Then, turning to Yolden, he said, "Do drink more if you can, but feel free to refuse if you can't. We're not that strict with drinking around here."Yolden could stomach his alcohol despite rarely drinking, and he did not hesitate to agree to drink with them, seeing that it was a pleasant evening for the Ackers.Keith then turned to Charlie, "You drink too, boy. Just ask your aunt to drive you home later."Charlie smiled. "It's alright, Gramps. Everyone on this hill is a friend—I'll ask Don Albert to send a car."Keith laughed heartily. "Wonderful! I shall drink with you too!""Really?" Holly quickly interrupted. "Did you get

Yolden didn't go into detail despite apologizing, as he was sure the Ackers would understand, so he didn't have to rub it in twice.However, it had been twenty years since Ashley's passing, and they certainly could take a brief mention in stride. That was why none of them found it offensive, especially since Ashley and Yolden were good friends and classmates.Charlie was just going to introduce Yolden, and so he said, "Yolden, I'm sure you recognize Uncle Kaeden? He often makes public appearances."Yolden nodded. "Yes, it's only natural. Your reputation precedes you, Mr. Acker!"Kaeden politely replied. "You flatter me, Professor Hart."After a brief handshake, Charlie moved on to the others and was surprised when he arrived at Merlin as Yolden spoke before he could, "This must be Chief Merlin Lammy, pride of the Oskians! I've seen your interviews and articles, and I really admire you!"Merlin smiled humbly. "I'm just a police chief—nothing to be proud about. The rest of you have

Yolden was inwardly relieved, hearing that Charlie really didn't mind revealing himself to his future wife and stepson. He had led a down-to-earth life and earnestly loved Matilda and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her.That was why he hoped that whenever they mentioned Charlie, Matilda wouldn't merely think of Jacob Wilson's son-in-law, who had coincidentally met some locally influential figures through his feng shui business.He was rather bad at pretending and even worse at lying.Still, he would have understood and respected Charlie's decision if the latter had refused, and he was therefore surprised Charlie had agreed to it so easily.Naturally, he was not aware that Charlie intended to take his new family under his wing and was happily riding shotgun as Charlie drove up to the Champ Elys villa.Keith Acker and the rest of his family were already there waiting, and Charlie's three uncles, aunt, and Merlin were outside to receive them.Keith and Holly would have

Yolden then asked, "By the way, there's something I'd like your opinion for.""Do tell," Charlie replied politely."Autumn and I know who you really are," Yolden said. "But that's not the case for Matilda or Paul… Well, Paul's smart, so even if he had no idea who you are specifically, he'd still have a hunch that you're someone incredibly wise and influential. That's why he really respects and worships you."Pausing, he then continued, "Well, now that Matilda and I are going to start a new family, I hope that I can be honest with her in every way possible as her husband. However, I still think I should ask about your opinion when it comes to your identity, so if you think I can tell Paul and Matilda, I'll find a time to tell them. But if you think I shouldn't, Autumn and I will understand and respect that."Charlie was actually surprised that Yolden would ask permission over something like that, and it made him even more sure about Yolden's personality.When it comes to the reall

Charlie chuckled. "Don't sell yourself short, Mr. Hart. There are plenty of business folk who got so used to their comfort zone that they became caught in the illusion that they can be successful in anything they do. It's a mindset that leads to them blindly developing new projects and new competition, and then they end up losing big."If memory serves, there have been real estate businesses that started mineral water brands, search engines that tried the car industry, e-commerce sites attempting social media, and vice-versa. All of them are multi-billion-dollar companies venturing into new frontiers, but all to unimpressive outcomes."Pausing, Charlie then continued, "You've mentioned rising above the competition amidst the development of the new energy industry. That would get anyone's attention, and it is why I believe that you definitely will make a strong impression with your strategizing and knowledge of the basic principles."Yolden found it hard to refuse, seeing that Charli
