As anticipated, Howard lifted his head, beamed, and remarked: “Your Majesty, I truly appreciate you taking the time from your busy schedule toe to New York for the Rothschild family’s internal meeting regarding the heir’s establishment. Your presence has greatly benefited the Rothschild family. Hui!”


    Helena feigned surprise, asking: “Isn’t the purpose of today’s gathering to announce Steve’s session? How is it that the heir has already been decided?”


    Howard waved his hand, a hint of embarrassment on his face, as he exined: “ns often change unexpectedly; however, changes can’t outpace the original n. Until this morning, I never imagined I could make a recovery. Wouldn’t you agree?”


    Helena offered a subtle smile: “Part of your recovery is due to Steve’s actions. His filial piety has surely moved the heavens.”


    Though Helena spoke these words, her mind wandered, reflecting: “Howard deeply regrets his past decisions, confirming Mr. Wade’s astute predictions. It’s as if Mr. Wade possesses a god-like foresight!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    In truth, it wasn’t that Charlie Wade was god-like; rather, he had an uncanny ability to see into people’s hearts.


    When Howard initially nned to hand over the family’s leadership to Steve due to his incapacitating stroke, once he regained his health, it was only natural that he would reconsider this decision.


    Often, the logic of human behavior mirrors that of chemical reactions.


    For instance, when water undergoes electrolysis, it separates into oxygen and hydrogen—this is a straightforward chemical reaction. If the electricity is turned off, water remains unchanged.


    In this scenario, Howard represented the water, while his stroke acted as the electricity. The oxygen and hydrogen produced symbolized his n to step aside for Steve.


    Thus, Howard’s stroke was the catalyst for his decision to pass the torch to Steve.


    Now that the condition of his stroke had vanished, it was akin to unplugging the power source, leading to the inevitable conclusion that Steve would no longer seed him.


    In Charlie Wade’s view, if Howard chose to hand over the leadership post-recovery, it would be like leaving a pool of water to evaporate, resulting in a mere ghost of what once was.


    At that moment, Helena let out a sigh and addressed Howard: “Mr. Rothschild, since your ns have changed, I will not participate in the next meeting.”


    Howard looked puzzled: “What’s the matter, Your Majesty? Why don’t you want to stay?”


    “You’re already here; why not remain to guide and witness?” Helena shook her head, exining, “Aside from negotiating with you, Mr. Rothschild, I came to establish a connection with the head of the Rothschild family for futuremunications. If Steve were to take over today, it would be important for me to witness it and build a solid foundation with the new patriarch. Since you don’t n to retire now, I’ve achieved all my objectives during this visit, and it would be unproductive for me to linger.”


    Howard immediately grasped her intent and smiled: “Your Majesty the Queen is truly a master negotiator. At such a young age, your negotiation skills are remarkable! With you steering the Nordic royal family, it’s bound to soar!”<fnbf50> Original content can be found at find?novel</fnbf50>


    Helena smiled modestly: “Mr. Rothschild, you’re too kind. My sess in negotiations is due to having an excellent teacher.”


    Howard was curious: “May I ask who Your Majesty’s teacher is? I would love the chance to meet them!”


    Helena replied lightly: “My teacher is quite low-key and shuns the limelight, but I believe Mr. Rothschild will have an opportunity to meet him in the future.”


    Howard politely responded: “That would be wonderful!”


    As the conversation continued, Helena remarked: “It’s gettingte, Mr. Rothschild. I must take my leave now.”


    Howard nodded, but just as Helena began to turn away, he suddenly called out: “By the way, Your Majesty!”


    Helena turned with curiosity: “What else can Mr. Rothschild need?”


    Howard inquired with concern: “I wonder if Your Majesty still has those miraculous eastern pills avable? If so, I’d like to purchase some more.”


    Helena shook her head: “Mr. Rothschild, such miraculous elixirs are rare and not easily obtained. Each one requires a unique opportunity. Consider this: how many times in a lifetime can one truly escape death and turn adversity into fortune?”


    Howard chuckled: “People often desire more than they have. Although I was fortunate to experience such an opportunity once, I would love a second, or even a third chance. If Your Majesty ever has this opportunity again, please don’t hesitate to share; I assure you I will offer a satisfactory price!”
