He once sold a Silicon Valley company to an industry giant for $300 million, which was once a classic case of commercial acquisition in the industry, and also brought huge wealth to his life, completely changing the lives of himself and his family.

However, Caroline still loved her life before that. Felt like it was a perfect fit for her. They met at a high school prom and later went on to the same university. The day after graduating from college, I couldn't wait to get married at Christ Church in Richmond. After they got married, they bought a cozy little house in a nice neighborhood near the Virginia Commonwealth University campus, which was her favorite place, full of warmth and life. Now they have been working together for a full fifteen years.

In his twelfth year, his career reached its peak as a model of business wizardry: ambitious, successful, and wealthy. At the beginning of this joy of success, she did not even relent, thinking that she would spend an ordinary life in the company of her family, like most middle-class women in the United States, but she was wrong, because of her husband Paul, her life was full of extreme happiness, and finally fell into the abyss.

Until a few years ago, Caroline lived a middle-class life, living in a small house in the city and repeating the monotony of everyday life. Suddenly, Paul bought a yacht and a plane, and a fancy apartment in Washington for his business trips and meetings.

Subsequently, he bought another house in Paris that he had longed for. There is also a beach house in Hawaii, like such a big house, which she saw for the first time in her life, and she was so excited that she cried. Paul bought it without even asking her. As long as it was what he liked, he never asked the price, and he didn't have the habit of haggling, and for a while, she couldn't believe that all this was true-

Although Caroline has repeatedly expressed her desire to live in the United States, where she has her parents and friends for many years, in order to improve the quality of life and make it easier for her five-year-old daughter to go to school, they moved to Hawaii a few years ago.

The house Paul chose for his family was a mansion designed by a famous Hawaiian architect who sold it after his retirement as the last masterpiece of his career.

To Caroline, it looked like a palace. There is a small artificial lake nearby. The sun shines golden light on it, the lake ripples, the algae ripple on the water, like a glass of champagne, the wildflowers next to it are scattered on the hillside, and the scent of pine trees and gardenias can be smelled in the breeze, which is full of romance.

After moving to Hawaii, Paul insisted that she hire a nanny so she could travel the world with him while he was working, but Caroline was not happy. She loves the feeling of taking care of children. Since marrying him, she has never had and does not need to work, and her only duty is to take care of the family and children and be a qualified full-time housewife. Over the years, Paul was always able to earn enough money to support his family. It never made her feel financially stressed.

She loves the feeling of running a family and taking care of her daughter. The daughter was born in the first year of their marriage. She majored in European history at university, and lacked skills in society, so it was difficult to find a suitable job outside unless she stayed at the university to teach. Of course, there is no need to worry about work right now.

She knows how to be a competent wife and mother. Be a good wife and mother. Let your children grow up happily and healthily, and let your husband work hard outside without worries. Her homeschooling for her children has been indeed successful, even during the challenging adolescence of her daughter at the age of fourteen. She has never had any conflicts with her children, and the little one is very sensible and rarely bothers his mother.

She grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, where her father was a lawyer and her mother was the director of academic affairs at the university she attended. Such a family background made her live comfortably before she left her parents.

In her world, dreams that are both grand and small are unlikely to come true, and it can be said that they are a bit high or low. She is not like Paul, who does not have as much ambition and expectations.

She just wants to marry a man who loves her and give birth to well-behaved children. She spends a lot of time reading about educational theories. Very fascinated by the educational psychology of children. and share her passion for art with her children. She encouraged her daughter to be brave enough to achieve her dreams. The same view has always been held about her and about Paul. I just don't want his dreams to be too materialistic and utilitarian, money is not everything in life after all.

When he told her that the company had sold for $300 million. She almost fainted. Thought he was joking. She teased him, still thinking that if he was lucky, he might be able to sell for millions. Or a bold guess of 10 million, but by no means an astronomical figure of 300 million.

She has no other material pursuits, she just wants to have enough money for her children to finish college and live comfortably in the future. Perhaps enough money was enough for Paul to retire at the right time so that they could spend the rest of their time traveling to Europe. She can take him to museums like the British Museum or the Louvre or something. She especially wanted to stay in Rome for a month or two. But she never dreamed of such a windfall. Paul made too much money.

Not only did he buy a house, an upscale apartment, a yacht, an RV, and a plane, but he had what all the rich could only dream of. As the CEO of a venture capital firm, he also made some high-risk high-tech investments, and each time he assured Caroline that he knew what he was doing. He was in the limelight and felt invincible. Compared to her, he trusted his own judgment 200 percent. They began to quarrel over it. He laughed at her for being timid. He invested his money in other start-up companies that had yet to prove their strength.

At this time, the venture capital market was on a rocketing upward trend, and everything he touched turned into gold in nearly three years. It seems that no matter what he does, or whatever risk he takes, he will not lose money, and it is true. In the first year or two, it is estimated on paper that their new wealth has indeed doubled. It is worth noting that he invested in two companies that he trusted completely, and others warned him that he would be planted in their hands. But he couldn't listen, neither to her nor to others.
