Charlie Wade inquired, “Is this any different from what you mentioned in the previous round?”


    Helena yfully stuck out her tongue. “At least the order has changed, so there’s still a difference.”


    Continuing, Helena added, “Mr. Wade, what you’re asking of me is merely a simple task. If you want me to collect your money, I truly deserve it…”


    Charlie Wade felt a bit exasperated, yet spoke earnestly, “Listen, this is the final fixed price. When the timees, you’ll meet with Howard. Upon our return, we’ll split it 50-50. If you agree, we can proceed happily. If not, I’ll find someone else for the job.”


    Helena gazed at Charlie Wade’s striking figure, feeling a mix of happiness and sadness.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Her happiness wasn’t solely about the money; it stemmed from the realization that Charlie Wade genuinely considers her feelings and well-being.


    However, she felt sadness too—not because she feared she couldn’t repay her debt of gratitude; she had long since done that. Instead, she worried that her fantasies about men paled inparison to the reality of who Charlie Wade truly was. If she fell for him too deeply, she feared she might never escape that emotional pit.


    As these thoughts crossed her mind, regret washed over her, and she shyly mused, “I wish I had been more decisivest time…”


    Recalling the moment when she and Charlie Wade embraced tightly on the bed, Helena found herself lost in thought, her cheeks flushing with warmth.


    Unaware of her distraction, Charlie Wade gently tapped the marble tabletop with his finger and asked, “What’s on your mind, Your Majesty?”


    At that moment, Helena’s thoughts drifted back to the bed they had shared, and she felt as if she had just slipped into that intimate moment. Suddenly, when Charlie Wade spoke, it jolted her back to reality, making her feel as if she had been caught in an embarrassing moment, prompting her to gasp and cover her mouth in shock.


    Surprised, Charlie Wade asked, “What’s going on? What were you thinking about, Helena?”<fna2e3> Original content can be found at FιndＮovel</fna2e3>


    She quickly shook her head, “No… I wasn’t thinking about anything…”


    Charlie Wade pressed on, “What about my proposal just now?”


    Helena, unable to recall his proposal, panicked and stumbled over her words, “Huh? I…I…I don’t know…whatever you say, Mr. Wade…”


    Charlie Wade nodded with a smile, “Then it’s settled: a 50-50 split. Having too much money can be a problem. When the timees, you can negotiate the total price with Howard, and perhaps arrange for him to pay in installments over ten years.”


    He continued, “Additionally, the payment methods can vary—cash, gold, high-quality corporate stocks, premium real estate, and more.”


    “You could even encourage them to fund charity activities supporting the Nordic royal family,” he added.


    “In short, this money will significantly bolster the Nordic royal family’s strength and influence over the next decade. Take your time to think it over, Helena.”


    Helena nodded slightly, saying, “Thank you, Mr. Wade. I will think it through carefully!”


    Charlie stretched and smiled, “Now we just wait for Howard’s bad news. I hope this old man can handle it…”
