Deep down, Steve harbors his own Xiao Jiujiu.


    If he sessfully takes on the role of the family patriarch in the future, he has no intention of valuing a second-rate family like the Wade family.


    Although he is currently considered charlie’s captive, once he ovees this challenge and rises to be the family leader, he will be someone even charlie could never hope to match, no matter how hard he tries.


    At that point, what will the Wade family signify? Will it amount to nothing?


    However, he wisely chose to keep his thoughts to himself, daring not to voice them aloud.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    So, with a smile, he said to charlie, “With your words, Mr. Wade, our families will undoubtedly be each other’s most significant partners in the future!”


    charlie understood that Steve was merely putting on a show, and he yed his part as well. The phone was still recording, and the more sincere he appeared, the more powerful the impact of this video would be in the future.


    Unable to hold back, charlie sighed, “I heard your father Howard is turning eighty this year, right?”


    Steve nodded, responding, “Yes, my father is indeed eighty this year.”


    “Eighty-four?” charlie remarked, “That’s a respectable age!”


    Steve, intrigued, asked, “What makes Mr. Wade say that?”


    charlie casually chuckled, “Well, in Chinese culture, we believe that seventy-three and eighty-four are significant hurdles for the elderly. It suggests that these ages can bring about more challenges and an increased risk of passing. Since we are now in the fourth quarter of the year, if luck is on your side, your father might pass this year.”


    “Oh, really?” Steve was clearly interested, unable to hide his smile as he asked, “Is there any scientific basis for that?” Just then, champagne was popped open, and the sound of sses clinking filled the room. Royce chimed in, “Yes! We have champagne in the wine cab! I’ll get it!” charlie expressed a hint of regret, saying, “It would be wonderful to have a ss of champagne to celebrate this moment.” With that, both of them burst intoughter.


    charlie waved his hand dismissively, “It’s merely a folk belief,cking scientific backing, but for you, or even for us, it holds a certain charm worth appreciating, don’t you think?” Steve felt charlie’s words resonate with him, leading to a slightly embarrassed but excited response, “Then let’s borrow Mr. Wade’s optimistic words!” Given the recent events surrounding the Sifang Baozhu, a conspiracy had emerged regarding who would find it first and im the title of family heir. Naturally, Steve hoped for a swift resolution, and the sooner, the better.


    Steve sensed that he and charlie had covered all the necessary topics and decided there was no need to hold back any longer. In arge family like his, every heir wishes for their father’s swift passing, and Steve was no exception.


    The sound of clinking sses echoed in the air.


    After a drink, Steve appeared much more rxed and cheerful.


    He took the initiative to inquire about the Sifang Baozhu, asking charlie, “Mr. Wade, you mentioned that Helena would be arriving in Canada tonight. Is that true?”


    charlie smiled and replied, “Absolutely, I’ll make the necessary arrangements.”


    With that, charlie concluded the video recording and called Helena directly.


    There’s a six-hour time difference between Northern Europe and New York.


    While it was still night in New York, morning had already arrived in Northern Europe.<fne112> Latest content published on find?novel</fne112>


    Helena was busy organizing her ns for the uing days with the royal housekeeper when she received a call from charlie, causing her to perk up immediately.
