Pausing, Kaeden then continued, "The initial investment will be stated as forty billion USD, with twenty billion to be used in the first phase. As it is a joint effort, the Ackers will split the shares by fifty-fifty."The first twenty billion will be mainly used for building the factories and facilities in Aurous Hill. We will also be following the Tesla timeframe, and that means just one year between groundbreaking and construction completion."The remaining twenty billion will be used to purchase production hardware, installation fees, raw materials, and spare parts." That was when Charlie spoke, "I'd suggest adding two billion on top of that for education funding. We will collaborate with high schools or technical colleges, offering investments to improve their facilities and standard while also securing a supply of human resources that we need, simultaneously developing our business and future employees."Some of the money should be set aside to establish scholarships and fin

Shangri-la had suspended all services, while their security team stood guard inside and outside the building to ensure the safety of the Ackers and the Wades. Even the local council were outsourcing from local security firms for more personnel, which further indicated how seriously Oskia was taking the megaproject.It was also a clear warning to anyone intent on doing harm that the Ackers were Oskian VIPs who were not allowed to be harmed.By the time Charlie arrived at Shangri-la, both the Ackers and Wades were already seated in the largest conference room in the hotel.Yolden had also arrived early with Matilda, as their positions would soon be announced at the press conference as well. Once Charlie arrived, everyone took their seats to review the day's proceedings and what qualified as public information.Kaeden spoke first, "Ladies and gentlemen—the press conference will start at 2pm sharp, and I will be in charge of emceeing. I'll start with the greetings before the joint pr

It was just as Claire had said—all of Aurous Hill, perhaps even Oskia, were watching the Ackers and the Wades' joint project very closely, especially since their beef had been closely followed twenty years ago.At the time, the tabloids and even mainstream media would offer analysis about the squabble between the two families. One could even search the internet for archived articles, which were clearly spiced up and hardly believable.However, such spiced-up media was precisely what everyone liked talking about.Still, there had been no official statement made between the families over the last twenty years, and there was no solid evidence proving that the two families had any dealings ever since.As such, while the public had no idea about the specific details, they were all aware that there was a cold war between the two families.That was why it was especially shocking that the two families had announced a strategic partnership, drawing the attention of both media and netizens.

"Not really," Charlie chuckled. "Maybe because I woke early and was drinking with my clients at night. My brain hasn't cleared up yet."Claire nodded and blushed as she said shyly, "I dreamt of you last night.""Really? What was the dream about?" Charlie asked, feigning surprise."Well, we were having dinner, and Loreen was there," Claire replied. "She said she had met a new boyfriend and would introduce us, but when we finished dinner, you suddenly asked me something…""What was it?" Charlie asked, feigning ignorance despite having an idea.Clarie hesitated, avoiding his gaze. "Don't remember the details, but it didn't really make sense. Loreen was teasing me about it, but it just felt so embarrassing…"Charlie chuckled awkwardly. "Well, you're lucky it was a dream. If the question didn't make sense, I wouldn't be able to answer, especially if we're not close…"Claire nodded and smiled, "Dreams are like that. Never makes sense."As she sat up and stretched her arms, she sudden
Chapter 6677
Ashley understood that people never shared the exact same experiences, especially when it comes to pain.While they might be sad if they were caught in the same depressing situation, someone might eventually overcome it, leaving the rest feeling lonely. It was just like how classmates would feel if a whole high-school class failed to advance to university—it offered a peace of mind.However, if everyone except one was afforded a second chance while that one person had to start working, the one person left out would feel lonely and helpless even if he was supposedly happy for them. After all, that person hadn't just lost the chance for higher education—they had also lost the comfort of resonance.That was why Ashley had been plagued by two questions for over twenty years.The first was how she should face her son and explain why she had gone missing for so long in the life of the child she had brought to this world.And the other was how she should tell Jeremiah that his son was lo

After all, what if he failed to defeat Fleur and was slain, his parents' bloodline thus severed? How would he face his parents in the next world, then?With that in mind, Charlie couldn't help turning toward Claire, whispering, "Why don't we have a child together…?"It was nothing more than a soft murmur, but Claire seemed to hear him anyway.Her eyes still closed, she murmured, "I'm really busy… darling… in a couple of years, maybe...?"Startled, Charlie looked at Claire closely and realized that she must have been sleep-talking.In that state, anyone would have trouble telling a dream from reality. If they just happened to be dreaming about someone who also happened to be whispering into their ear at the same time, they tended to respond, albeit incoherently.So, Charlie could tell that Claire was dreaming of him, although he wondered if her answer was sincere or just half-hearted.And since he didn't mean to ask that question in the first place, he smiled tenderly at Claire
