    Thanks to Charlie’s encouragement, ire found herself awake all night, restless and preupied with thoughts about her business. As a result, she looked quite worn out and fatigued the following morning due to herck of sleep.


    After waking up, ire quickly got ready for the day. Noticing her hasty demeanor, Charlie frowned and asked, “Dear, why don’t you take your time and sleep in? What’s the rush?”


    “I’m heading to Millenium Enterprise. I can’t afford to bete,” ire replied.


    “Millenium Enterprise? Is it for another interview?” Charlie inquired.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “No,” ire replied, shaking her head. After a brief pause, she added, “I’m going to seek out some projects for myself.”


    “That’s fantastic!” Charlie eximed with a smile. “If you start a constructionpany, I’d love to be your first employee.”


    “Do you really think starting a constructionpany is as easy as whipping up dinner? It requires funding and connections to thrive and survive,” ire exined. “I n to start with a small office where I can create design drawings for the construction sector. Once I’ve built a solidwork and gathered enough capital, I’ll register thepany.”


    Charlie chuckled. “Money and connections shouldn’t be an issue. I could help youunch yourpany right now if you wanted.”


    “No, thank you,” ire responded instinctively, then added earnestly, “I want to tackle this on my own first. Besides, what resources do you actually have? Starting a constructionpany isn’t child’s y.”


    “I’m being serious. I have the funds and the business contacts to help you start apany,” Charlie insisted.


    At that moment, he remembered that the Emgrand Group had investments covering nearly 70% of Aurous Hill’s businesses, making it easy to secure design projects from construction firms.


    ire thought he was merely joking, so she waved her hand dismissively and said, “You don’t know anything about the construction industry. I’ll handle the investment matters, so leave it to me.”<fne027> Newest update provided by FιndNovel</fne027>


    To establish a constructionpany, she would need at least $10 million as start-up capital and a considerable amount of working capital. Where would Charlie possibly obtain that kind of money?


    Even if he had the funds, it was hard to believe he’d have connections in the construction industry.


    Charlie found himself at a loss for words. His wife preferred to start from scratch rather than utilize the resources he readily offered. He was unsure of how else to convince her.


    Just as ire left the house, her mother ine returned. Relying heavily on the Wilson Group for her pension, she had been visiting them frequently over thest few days.


    Although ire had distanced herself from the Wilson family, ine seemed to feel otherwise. In fact, she desired to mend the rtionship.


    “Where did ire go?” ine asked.


    “She went to look for frencing projects,” came the reply.


    “What frencing projects? Does she truly want to sever ties with the Wilson family?” ine huffed in frustration. “It was just a minor misunderstanding—why make such a big deal about it and cut connections? We’ve be theughingstock of the city!”


    Jacob stared at ine, astonished and confused.


    “Darling, what on earth did Lady Wilson do to you while you were there? Did you bump your head after all the scolding? Have you lost your mind?”


    “What? No! I haven’t lost my senses!” ine eximed as she flopped onto the sofa, grumbling, “Tomorrow, you’reing with me to the Wilson family vi to apologize to Lady Wilson. She’s your mother, and Chris is your brother. Family ties are important—how can you just cut them off like that?”


    Jacob shot her a re and replied, a hint of anger in his voice, “They wanted to sell my house and take Charlie’s vi. They’ve never seen me as part of the Wilson family! If you want to apologize, you can do it alone. I refuse to step into their house ever again!”


    ine’s frustration grew as Jacob, usually kind and mild-mannered, stood his ground. Turning to Charlie, she said, “Charlie, your dad is being stubborn. You should be the judge! They are mother and son, brothers. Family disputes can be resolved! Isn’t it a bit childish to sever ties like that? Plus, I rely on the Wilson Group for my pension!”


    “See?! She’s lost it! They want to take my property, seize Charlie’s vi, and even pressure ire to divorce Charlie and marry someone else! Don’t you see how outrageous they are?” Jacob shouted in indignation. “Did they put you under a spell or something when you were there? How can you blindly believe everything they say?”


    Charlie’s head throbbed as he stood caught in the middle of this conflict; he quickly sought an escape. “ire asked me to pick her up, so I really need to go now.”
