Chapter 2991
Author: Lord Leaf
When Albert heard this, he was truly extremely grateful.

In the early years, it had been relatively easy for Albert to make money. He could simply rely on his own special attributes and various connections before skirting the line legally or morally, and he would already be able to make a lot of money every year.

However, over the past few years, Albert had gradually been trying to whitewash himself. He would not get involved in many things that used to be very profitable to him in the past anymore, and so, his income had plummeted greatly.

However, since Albert had many subordinates and disciples under his command, the usual cost of feeding and employing these people did not decrease because of the decline in his income, but on the contrary, as the prices continued to rise and as the per capita income continued rising, their costs also kept rising.

Therefore, although Albert had a glamorous appearance over the past few years, he had been in a state where he had been trying hard to

    Charlie shook his head and said, “That’s different. Sophie’s sense of right and wrong is also very strong. There are several irrefutable reasons as to why I sent her father off to Syria. The first reason is that Sheldon was indeed the one who had organized the Anti-Wade Alliance, and he also had a grudge against my father. Secondly, Sheldon himself was the one who was worse than a beast when he aided and abetted the enemy, which indirectly caused both of his daughters to be placed in danger. Thirdly, as a father, Sheldon not only watched on unfeelingly and acted unconcerned and indifferently when his daughter met with a mishap, but he even continued groveling in front of his father, Cadfan Schulz, in order to flatter and please him. If I send someone like him to Syria, Sophie also knows that he deserves it.”As he spoke, Charlie then said, “However, if I were to send Jaime off to Syria now as well, Sophie would definitely not be able to accept it. Besides, I do not have any reasonable

    When she saw Jaime, Sophie hurriedly stopped in her tracks and silently turned to the side, so as not to be recognized by him.At the same time, she secretly glanced at Jaime, who was twenty to thirty meters away. When she saw her elder brother’s overly attentive and flattering look in front of Dorothy, she suddenly felt a little disgusted.She abruptly felt that all of the men in the Schulz family had a very strong sense of motive and purpose in everything that they did.Take her father, Sheldon, as an example. Both of his daughters had nearly died in Sophie’s grandfather’s hands, but when Sophie’s grandfather needed Sheldon to come out to put on a front and keep up appearances, Sheldon was still able to drop everything and return to her grandfather’s side to play the role of a filial son. In the final analysis, it was all because of his desire to compete for the position as the heir of the Schulz family.His daughter was not as important in the face of this purpose.As for her

    What he wanted was to use this kind of foolish generosity to gain Quinn’s favor.Jaime himself was also very impressed with the fact that he was willing to spend thirty million dollars just to make his sweetheart’s concert reach the top international level. He felt that he would certainly be able to win Quinn’s favor with this move.Moreover, he even thought that if his love confession at the concert were to turn out to be unsuccessful, he would just look for a public relations company to help him put everything into place on the whole network.By then, as long as the media exposed the fact that he had spent thirty million dollars and branded him as an ‘infatuated man’, this would also put a strong psychological pressure on Quinn.Sometimes, moral kidnapping was also a good method to pursue the other party.Dorothy, who was also someone with extensive experience, naturally knew the reason behind Jaime’s devotion and attentiveness. She hurriedly said to Jaime, “Young Master Schulz,

    At this time, in the first car of the Rolls-Royce convoy.Jaime sat next to Dorothy as he smiled and said, “Dorothy, I’ve taken a lot of advertising space in Aurous Hill during this time, and I’ve already begun playing a lot of Miss Golding’s concert promotional posters twenty-four hours a day. You will be able to see at least twenty to thirty advertising resources on the way into the city later.”Dorothy was a little puzzled, and she asked, “Young Master Schulz, Quinn’s concert tickets seem to have already been sold out long ago. So, isn’t it a little wasteful for you to do so much on-site promotion now?”Jaime smiled, and he had a serious expression on his face as he said, “I’m building up the momentum! Although the full capacity of the concert has already been reached, that is only about thirty thousand to fifty thousand people after all. The population of permanent residence in Aurous Hill is almost ten million people. If we can also cover the rest of these people, this will als

    However, Dorothy was actually rather surprised by Charlie’s methods.Although Tom’s family’s strength and background were not as strong as the son of a wealthy family such as Jaime, the Zielinski family could still be considered amongst the first echelon in the country.Even Jaime would never dare to use such a cruel and brutal method on him, but it seemed as though Charlie did not care about that at all. Tom was a rich heir who was also a big celebrity with a rising career, but his bright future was completely destroyed by Charlie as soon as he arrived in Aurous Hill. Dorothy had never seen anything like this happen in the circle before.***When the convoy arrived at the entrance of Shangri-La, Jaime spoke up as he said to Dorothy, “Dorothy, you guys have already booked the rooms in advance, right?”“Yes.” Dorothy nodded. “It has already been booked in advance.”Jaime was relieved, and he said, “Alright then, I’ll not send you in. I’ll wait for you in the car since you will hav

    Dorothy, who was helpless, could only open the luggage at Quinn’s request as she took out the item that Quinn had been thinking of.Quinn stared at the video for a long time, and she heaved a sigh of relief when she made sure that there was nothing wrong with it. After that, she instructed, “Dorothy, you have to make sure that you keep my treasure safe. Don’t make any mistakes.”“Don’t worry.” Dorothy curled her lips and said, “I’d rather meet with a mishap than let anything bad happen to it. Are you satisfied?”“Hehe!” Quinn happily rested her chin in both of her hands, and she smiled happily as she said, “Dorothy, you’re the best! I love you!”“Don’t. Don’t love me!” Dorothy grunted with disgust. “You’d better go and love your Brother Charlie instead!”Quinn responded seriously, “Oh, you’re right! How could I possibly say those words to you? Charlie is obviously the only person who is worthy of it!”Dorothy was exasperated and said, “Quinn Golding! You’re really an ungrateful p

    Jaime hurriedly explained, “Dorothy, don’t get so worked up first. I know that I have no right to make any changes to your performance execution plan, but I only did it out of the goodness of my heart. After all, this will be Miss Golding’s first performance for her concert tour this year. I only wanted to make this performance even more perfect, and that is the reason why I took the liberty to adjust the overall plan without informing you in advance.”As he spoke of this, Jaime then assured her, “But Dorothy, you can rest assured. I specifically invited the best lighting and sound engineer from the United States this time. They are liaising with your original executive team, and the equipment has been fully optimized according to your previous execution plan. So, you can rest assured that the performance effect will only be enhanced, and it would not be compromised in any way.”Dorothy looked at Jaime and said seriously, “Young Master Schulz, this matter is not just a matter of good

    That night, after checking all the hardware and equipment at the venue, Dorothy returned to the hotel upon making sure that there were no problems.When she had just arrived at the room, Dorothy immediately made a video call to Quinn.When the call was connected, Quinn was wearing her pajamas, and she had a facial mask on as she rested in her bedroom.She then spoke up and asked Dorothy, “Dorothy, is everything at the venue done?”Dorothy nodded. “Everything’s done. You can rehearse immediately after you arrive tomorrow.”“That’s great!” Quinn heaved a sigh of relief, and she had a serious expression on her face as she said, “I’ve held so many concerts before, but I’ve never felt as nervous as I do this time. There must be absolutely no mistakes during my concert!”Dorothy then thought of Jaime’s matter. So, she said, “By the way, Quinn, there is something that I have to report to you.”“Speak up.”Dorothy then said, “This is what happened. Jaime Schulz bribed the executive com

    Fleur had repeatedly mentioned the conspiracy theory of Ashley using a body double over the last twenty years.Tarlon had investigated from many different angles, but everything from the gender, age, dental records, to body figure pointed to the fact that the deceased was Ashley Acker.And yet, Fleur had never bought it, insisting that Curtis was prepared for them just because Curtis' son had gone missing soon after.There was no way Curtis would save his son but not his wife, and the disfigured corpse only added fuel to Fleur's suspicion.Thus, over the last twenty years, Fleur had kept a close eye on the Ackers, arranging for two 'scholars' to be embedded amongst their ranks as sleeper agents. She went that far all to determine if Ashley was dead or had faked her death.However, the scholars had since been killed in action, and they had no spies within the Ackers left.As for Tarlon, he still doubted Fleur's theory even now, but he remained respectful as he spoke, "Milady, I mu

    Meanwhile, on the edge of the South Pole, Tarlon Griffin rushed outside of Fleur Griffin's room, knocking the door gingerly as he announced, "I have news, my lady!"Fleur didn't respond, but the thick wooden door between them slowly opened as if pushed by an invisible force.Tarlon entered to find Fleur seated on the floor with her legs crossed at the ankles. Her eyes remained closed as she molded her Reiki, asking, "What is it?"Tarlon quickly answered, "News from Oskia. The Ackers are partnering with the Wades on a joint venture into electric-powered vehicles."Fleur slowly opened her eyes, asking quietly, "And you're telling me because?"Tarlon quickly explained, "It just came out of the blue, so I thought I should report it to you right away."Fleur sighed. "After I tried and failed to wipe out the Ackers so many times, they wouldn't dare set foot stateside. If anything, they must have decided to seek asylum in Oskia by offering a substantial investment, and it's a base whe

    Silent for a while, Matilda then asked Yolden, "Do you think I can do it?""Yes!" Yolden nodded without hesitation. "You definitely won't have any problems!"Matilda sighed, shaking her head. "We traveled far abroad to study while we were young, but we didn't return to Oskia to help the country's development. It's been thirty years since, and now that we have returned to the country at the same time, I definitely wouldn't turn down such an opportunity to help."Pausing, she then said, "That said, major corporations make it a point to not hire family members. Forget spouses—employees aren't allowed to date, and one of the two will be asked to resign if necessary."Don't you think it's inappropriate since we are legally married, having gotten our certificate and all? And if we set these precedents, we would have trouble asking other employees to follow that policy. You are going to be a CEO, so you need a very clear answer on this issue."Yolden shrugged. "In the first place, that p

    Yolden nodded slightly. "He does.""My gosh…" Matilda murmured. "That's too much… Ashley's son? A member of the Acker family and the Wades?!"Pausing, she then asked in confusion, "Wait, if Charlie has so much power and influence, why would he permanently reside in Aurous Hill… No, why would he be content as Jacob Wilson's son-in-law? Does Jacob know who he really is?""Definitely not," Yolden shook his head. "There were some compelling circumstances, and his identity is a sensitive one. That's why I'm asking you to tell no one except Paul—and even then, you should only tell him if he can keep the secret."Matilda was sharp enough to pick up on the reasoning, too. "Charlie's hiding because of his parents' accident, isn't he?""Yes," Yolden sighed. "He has his plans, but I didn't pry since I can only do that much, let alone help him on that.""Got it," Matilda nodded repeatedly. "Don't worry. My lips are sealed… And you just said you're resigning? Are you going to help with this e

    "That would be Ashley Layna Acker," Matilda replied without hesitation. "She was our age, as well as a major investor in Silicon Valley, while we were only starting to get our first clients. It's no exaggeration to say that she's the shining example in many case studies when it comes to business."Pausing, she then continued, "And she used to be your classmate, right? I remember you mentioning that in our conversations before.""Yes," Yolden sighed emotionally. "She was a classmate and the star of our generation."Matilda nodded but soon shook her head, "Wait, weren't we talking about Charlie's car company? What does that have to do with Ashley Acker?" "Here's where I let you in on a secret," Yolden said. "But first, you have to promise me that you won't tell anyone except Paul."Matilda nodded without hesitation. "Don't worry—if it's a secret, I won't tell Paul either."Yolden scratched his head. "Actually, Paul should know. We are going to marry soon, and he's my stepson, lega

    In fact, the legal department of major enterprises covered many responsibilities, the chief of which concerned intellectual property, which was why veterans were needed to lead.Additionally, Charlie trusted Matilda's accomplishments in the legal field, especially since she had worked in the United States for years.With Curtis Autos' intended expansion worldwide, that meant the legal department should also know the laws of countries abroad, ready to file or respond to lawsuits at any time. After all, competitors may use the law to impede their growth, along with the government applying unfair policies to impede their development and impact on local businesses.Moreover, Charlie considered Paul young and therefore lacking in experience, not to mention that it was not likely he would abandon his family's law firm. As such, the ideal solution was to poach Matilda for now.As for Matilda, she was still in the dark and had no idea what she was in for, asking Charlie in confusion, "Lega

    Later, after Charlie told Jeremiah over the phone about the joint venture with the Ackers to establish Curtis Autos, the old man was awash with tears, especially after Charlie told him that it was Keith who suggested it. After all, Curtis was his favorite son whose death he could never really get over. Moreover, he once believed that only his family mourned Curtis while the Ackers never did, and he held a grudge over his son's passing. As such, he was surprised that Keith held such great respect toward his late son and didn't hesitate to say yes when Charlie invited him to Aurous Hill to sign an agreement with the Ackers.Still, Charlie wasn't in a hurry to arrange for a specific time, and he was going to let the Ackers sort out the human resources of Godot Autos over a few days. It still wouldn't be too late by then.Moreover, he was keen to allow the buzz to have time to grow so that the automotive industry would be astounded by the joint project between the Ackers and the Wade

    Christian was the first to exclaim in approval, "Yes! Curtis Autos sounds wonderful! It has my vote!""Seconded!" Kaiden nodded, pumping the air with his right fist. "I've looked up to Curtis the most, and I absolutely agree with naming the company after him!"Jaxson was nodding too. "Me too!""Yes!" Lulu chirped.Yolden couldn't help agreeing as well. "Curtis Autos is definitely a good name!"Merlin raised his hand gingerly as well. "Quit it with your flattery already," Keith chuckled, and he turned toward Charlie solemnly. "In the end, Curtis is Charlie's father, and the final decision goes to him!"Charlie's eyes were welling up with tears—his parents had been gone for almost three decades, yet he had never thought of dedicating anything to their memory.As such, Keith's suggestion to use Curtis's name for the car company left him thrilled. After all, wouldn't his father's soul be honored if Curtis Autos rocked the country, maybe even the world?With that in mind, he nodd

    Charlie also had to agree that this was an opportunity to formally reconcile the Wades and the Ackers.While he couldn't reveal himself just yet, the Wades and the Ackers had been in-laws for years. Even if they had had a dispute for the longest time, restoring good relations made sense now that the Ackers had come to Oskia, and it wouldn't arouse any suspicion.That was why Charlie agreed to it without hesitation, even making a mental note to invite his paternal grandfather, Jeremiah, to Aurous Hill.The old geezers could meet up and clear the air while deciding on the partnership.Yolden was prepared to resign as a professor as well so that he could help the Ackers and Charlie fully develop their automotive company.With a general direction planned, he asked everyone, "Since we're creating a new brand, has anyone come up with a name?"No one was feeling inspired at that moment, but that was when Lulu, who had been silent throughout, said, "Since Charlie and our family are worki
