As Steve listened to his elderly father struggle to speak, his heart raced with a thrill of excitement.


    Despite having been manipted by Charlie Wade andpelled to betray his father and family over the past couple of days, in this moment, he couldn’t help but think, “Charlie Wade is incredible!”


    He sighed internally, reflecting, “Charlie Wade truly is remarkable! Everything seems to be unfolding just as he envisioned!”


    “I helped him return the Sifang Baozhuang to China. Soon after, my father fell ill and passed away. In the wake of his passing, several other brothers and grandchildren missed their chance to step up during this crisis. As the eldest son and designated heir, it was only natural for me to assume the role of the family leader!”


    “What does perfection look like? This is absolutely wless! If my son could be even half as capable as Charlie Wade, I would be more than satisfied!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    With a heavy heart, Steve turned to Howard, wearing a mask of utmost respect: “Father, please focus on your recovery. I will speak with the doctors to devise the best rehabilitation n, ensuring you can start your training as soon as possible!”


    Howard felt a sense of pride in Steve’s demeanor.


    In the ruthless world of wealth, a father’s illness often coincides with his son’s windfall.


    Such circumstances can easily breed feelings of resentment or dissatisfaction in a father toward his own son.


    Yet, from the moment Steve entered the room, he disyed nothing but integrity.


    He exhibited filial piety, a sense of responsibility, and an understanding of the bigger picture, without a hint of excitement or eagerness.


    When a son carries himself this way, it naturally bringsfort to a father, especially during such a delicate time.


    Thus, Howard nodded slightly and instructed him, “You… should inform everyone… tomorrow… we will hold a meeting in Conference Room No. 1 at ten… ten o’clock. During this meeting, I will announce that you, Steve… Rowe… Rothschild… will be the new… head… of the… Rothschild… family.”


    Steve replied with deep respect: “I will carry out Father’s wishes. My only desire is for you to recover quickly; everything else is secondary!”<fnf787> Chapters first released on Find~Novel</fnf787>


    After saying this, Steve recognized that a perfect performance was on the horizon. In such moments, one must know how to bnce intensity and restraint, avoiding overexertion.


    So, he promptly addressed Howard: “Father, I won’t interrupt your rest. Doctor, please gather the relevant experts. If they can’t be here in person, ensure they are ready for an online meeting in ten minutes.”


    Understanding that Steve would soon be the head of the Rothschild family, the doctor nodded without hesitation: “Understood, young master. I’ll arrange it immediately!”


    As Steve was about to leave, Howard stopped him, asking, “By the way… how is your discussion with the Northern Nordic Queen, Helena, going?”


    Steve promptly replied, “Father, we’ve already spoken with Helena, and she remains very friendly towards us. Unlike other European royal families that are only interested in our wealth and wish to avoid dealings with us, her approach is much more straightforward.”


    He added, “By the way, Helena mentioned that she would visit you in person once she wraps up her matters in Canada. Should I find an excuse to decline her visit?”


    Howard sighed, saying, “I… I can’t hide this forever… so… let here. I’ll see if I can facilitate an alliance or marriage with Royce… if that can be arranged, it would be fantastic…”


    The Rothschild family has always harbored dreams of royal connections.


    However, before World War II ended, anti-Semitism was rampant globally. While they managed to protect their wealth and security, establishing deeper ties with European royal families proved challenging. Royal attitudes towards them were often clear-cut:


    “You can give us money, but marriage? Not a chance!”
