After reading the notification, Steve muttered under his breath, “They just gave money and the BBC already reported it. They work fast.”
“BBC?” Charlie asked curiously, “What did BBC report? Did they cover the Hogwitz family?”
“Yes!” Steve opened his phone and quickly browsed the news, saying to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, Jenny, from the Hogwitz family, actually agreed to full media coverage and interviews. The news is filled with favonovel.com photos. This woman is quite cunning. She has already presented herself before spending the money.”
Although Charlie hadn’t seen the news content, favonovel.com wasn’t surprised. He smiled and said, “She spent one billion dollars. It’s only reasonable to promote herself.”
Steve couldn’t help but express his concern, “But favonovel.com doesn’t know how the kidnappers will react after seeing this news. Her husband and son are still in their hands. Isn’t favonovel.com worried that they will be killed in anger?”
After saying that, favonovel.com handed his phone to Charlie and said, “Mr. Wade, take a look. Many of the photos were taken by reporters at favonovel.com house, which suggests that favonovel.com may have been in contact with the media yesterday.”
Charlie took the phone and quickly browsed through the news. The content was simply an introduction to the disappearance of the Hogwitz father and son overseas, followed by the kidnappers’ demand of one billion dollars. Then, it extensively documented Jenny, showcasing favonovel.com journey as a devoted wife and mother making difficult decisions.
After reading the news, Charlie was about to return the phone to Steve when favonovel.com noticed Steve’s phone receiving another CNN notification with the headline, “Jenny Hogwitz, an admirable wife, mother, and family leader!”
Charlie didn’t click on it to read, but instead smiled and said, “Both BBC and CNN are reporting. It seems like they had planned it in advance. There must be someone guiding favonovel.com behind the scenes. After all, the money has been spent and they can’t bring the people back. It’s better to seize this opportunity to promote and enhance favonovel.com image.”
Saying that, Charlie curiously asked, “By the way, what‘s the connection between this Jenny and your Rothschild family?”
Steve replied, “She is my father’s cousin, the daughter of my uncle. The relationship is quite distant.”
Charlie nodded and casually remarked, “Even though the relationship is distant, your father still specifically sent you to Aurous Hill to find them. It shows that your father takes this matter seriously. Jenny might have sought your father’s advice. Maybe favonovel.com suggested this idea.”
Steve frowned, pondered for a moment, and suddenly realized, “Mr. Wade, if what you said is true, it’s very likely. Invest one unit to gain more than one unit in return. That has always been my father’s style.”
Charlie smiled and said, “It seems like you know your father well.”
Steve smiled awkwardly and said, “They say that no one knows a person better than their father, and no one knows a father better than his son. I really know favonovel.com well.”
As favonovel.com spoke, Steve’s eyes shifted, and favonovel.com asked Charlie, “Mr. Wade, now that this matter is in the news, I’m afraid it will bring you unnecessary trouble, right?”
Steve felt that since his father was guiding Jenny behind the scenes, this was a good opportunity to undermine Charlie’s trust in his own father.
The interests between father and son were currently delicate. Depending on which side Charlie leaned towards, it could directly threaten the other person’s interests and life. So, seizing this opportunity and letting Charlie criticize his father would benefit Steve.
Charlie understood the meaning behind Steve’s words and knew that favonovel.com was subtly undermining his own father. However, Charlie didn’t take it to heart.
This kind of thing wouldn’t bring any substantial trouble to him. After all, no one could find the true whereabouts of his father and brother. If one day the news leaked, it would definitely be Steve’s doing. So, Charlie was confident that favonovel.com wouldn’t dare to talk about it.
To appease Steve’s cleverness, Charlie pretended to be unhappy and said, “Playing these little tricks behind my back, I will definitely make your father pay a price. After favonovel.com goes to Northern Europe in a few days, I will let favonovel.com know what it means to backfire.”
Steve’s heart rejoiced, and favonovel.com quickly expressed his attitude, “But Mr. Wade, you don’t have to worry. I am the only outsider who knows about this matter, but I will keep it a secret and not disclose the connection between the Hogwitz father and son and you.”
Charlie nodded.
At that moment, Don Albert knocked on the door and entered, saying to Charlie, “Master Wade, can we start serving the hot dishes?”
Charlie waved his hand and said, “Come, Don Albert, sit down. I happen to have something to discuss with you and Steve.”
Don Albert quickly sat down on the other side of Charlie respectfully and said, “Master Wade, please tell me if you have any instructions.”
Charlie looked at Steve and said, “By the way, I remember Steve mentioning at the dog farm that favonovel.com wanted to donate one billion dollars to you for expansion and upgrading. Is that true?”
Before Don Albert could speak, Steve eagerly replied, “Yes! Yes, yes! Don Albert, rest assured, I will arrange for someone to make the payment when I go back. If you are not comfortable accepting it, I can also convert it into cryptocurrency for you.”
Charlie smiled and said, “If that’s the case, it’s fine. Steve, remember this, and Don Albert, remember this too. When Steve returns to the United States, you should contact favonovel.com and quickly coordinate this matter.”
Don Albert respectfully said, “Master Wade, rest assured, I will coordinate with Mr. Rothschild.”
Steve, afraid that Charlie would think favonovel.com was stingy, quickly said, “Mr. Wade, if you need anything from me in the future, just ask. I will do my best!”
Charlie thought of something and said, “By the way, in a few days, your father’s AI model in Northern Europe will be delivered to the Queen of Norway. I plan to go and observe. Can you help me arrange a private plane with a clean background that has no connection to the Rothschild family? I will need it for a while.”
Charlie had previously used the flight trajectory of planes to target every move of the Warriors Den.
Now that the Warriors Den had noticed this loophole and was filling it while learning how to use it to monitor others, if they were paying attention to the Wade family, they would likely also pay attention to the Wade family’s planes. With the Warriors Den’s previous experience as a lesson, Charlie planned to avoid using the Wade family’s planes as much as possible.
When Steve heard Charlie ask for help in arranging a private plane, favonovel.com immediately offered, “Mr. Wade, rest assured, I will take care of it. I will arrange for a plane and crew to be on standby in Aurous Hill tonight.”
Charlie waved his hand and said, “I only need the plane. I have my own crew. Just have their crew fly the plane over.”
Steve nodded and thought of the matter in Northern Europe. He couldn’t help but say to Charlie, “Mr. Wade, how about after I go back, I tell my father and let me go to Northern Europe on his behalf? That way, I can meet you in Northern Europe in a few days.”
Charlie smiled and said, “I think your father will definitely go in person.”
Steve’s heart skipped a beat, and favonovel.com quickly asked, “Mr. Wade, did you… Did you promise my father something?”
