The more Helena embodies a blend of confidence and generosity without veering into humility or arrogance, the deeper Howard’s admiration for her grows.


    As one of the wealthiest individuals globally, Howard was acutely aware that many people tend to bow to wealth, and few can retain theirposure when in his presence.


    Due to his appreciation for Helena, Howard felt an additionalyer of respect. Struggling to sit up a bit straighter, he managed to say, “Your Majesty… would you consider being a guest at the Rothschild family? It would be… an immense honor for… the entire Rothschild family.”


    Helena responded with a smile, nodding in agreement as she said, “I understand that Mr. Rothschild is experiencing some health issues, which is why I came to visit. How is he doing now?”


    Howard, with a hint of sadness, replied, “The doctor has informed me… that I’m showing signs of… a stroke. In the future, I may need to focus on rehabilitation. I n to call a meeting with all the… members of the Rothschild family to officially announce… that Steve will be the next head of the family. I would also like to ask… Your Majesty, to witness this.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Steve, standing nearby, felt a surge of happiness within him, though his expression remained somber as he said, “Father… I truly believe… you will recover fully!”


    Helena turned her gaze to Steve, noticing his genuine concern and the tears welling in his eyes. She smiled warmly and reassured him, “Sir, I share your sentiment. I have faith that Mr. Rothschild will recover and even be healthier than before.”


    “Exactly!” Steve nodded vigorously, eximing, “If Her Majesty the Queen believes so, I am certain that a miracle will happen!”


    Yet, internally, Steve was grumbling, “Bah, bah, bah! I’m just being polite, Helena. You’d better keep it together at such a critical time!”


    Seeing his son’s heartfelt emotions brought somefort to Howard.


    In that moment, he reassured himself, “Let’s ept the reality. We will strive for recovery, and perhaps we can still enjoy a healthy old age…”<fn737c> Follow current nov?ls on FιndNovel</fn737c>


    With that thought, he gathered his strength and said, “Your Majesty the Queen… I would like to extend a heartfelt proposal on behalf of the Rothschild family… for a marriage alliance with the Northern Nordic royal family. If you would consider… marrying into the Rothschild family… we aremitted to supporting… the Nordic emperor in revitalizing the royal family…”


    Upon hearing this, Steve felt an even greater sense of joy.


    As he was about to be the patriarch of the Rothschild family, his eldest son Royce would then be positioned to be the next heir. This would elevate Royce’s future marriage to a significant event, drawing widespread attention.


    If his father could sessfully win Helena’s agreement to join the Rothschild family, it would make her the ideal match for Royce, solidifying a powerful alliance.


    At that point, Steve would not only be the patriarch but also see his son marrying the Queen of Northern Europe, a union that would undoubtedly capture global interest!
