Eve Thompson and Anthony Charlie did not have more children afterward because Anthony felt that he and Eve had already missed too much together.
After Barbara was born, Eve became deeply immersed in the research to restore Carlos Charlie, wasting another five years.
In the years that followed, the two lived lovingly until the age of fifty, and when Barbara turned twenty-four, they directly handed the company over to her.
By then, the company no longer needed Eve to make many decisions. Anthony had built a commercial empire for her, and with Carlos Charlie around, everything was expertly managed.
Carlos Charlie, neither aging nor dying, and capable of working tirelessly, had already become the head of the Charlie Group.
Barbara, on the other hand, focused on the Research and Development Department.
The world twenty years later was saturated with artificial intelligence: self-driving cars, self-piloting planes—all making life more convenient.
