Jimmy felt a wave of surprise wash over him. Steve was aplete stranger, and this wasrgely due to the Rothschild family’s traditionally discreet nature.


    Nowadays, finding urate information about the Rothschild family online was nearly impossible. Most of the content avable was a confusing mix of half-truths, sensational press releases, and gossip. Most online profiles featured only deceased family members or minor historical figures, leaving out current key members like Steve.


    Matilda was equally puzzled. She had no idea where Steve hade from, and when she and Hankpiled the guest list, they hadn’t seen anyone named Steve.


    Noticing the bride’s uncertainty, Steve smiled and addressed Hank: “Hey, Hank, why don’t you introduce me to the lovely bride?”


    Hank snapped back to reality and quickly apologized, “I’m sorry, my oversight!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    He turned to Matilda and said, “Dear, this is Steve Rothschild. He is… my… good friend from the United States…”


    Upon hearing Steve’s full name, the crowd around him fell silent in shock.


    The Rothschild family is renowned globally, and for Matilda, Paul, and Jimmy—who hade here for a bit of fun—it was impossible to ignore their familiarity with the name, especially given its prominence in the U.S.


    None of them could quite believe that a member of the Rothschild family was standing right in front of them.


    Furthermore, the Rothschilds had recently made headlines in New York, stirring quite a bit of buzz. Although the public hadn’t seen any video evidence, they were aware of key family members mentioned in the news, including the current head, Howard Rothschild, and the designated heir, Steve Rothschild.


    As Jimmy processed this information, disbelief struck him: “This can’t be real! Who is this Hank? How could he possibly be friends with the heir of the Rothschild family? Is he trying to pull my leg?”


    With that thought, a sneer crept onto his face: “The name ‘Rothschild’ has been thrown around so muchtely that anyone feels brave enough to im they’re part of it. You’re even bolder, iming to be the second inmand. Do you realize the Rothschilds have connections everywhere? If they find out about your little act, you’ll be in serious trouble!”


    Steve simply smiled in response: “Honestly, we in the Rothschild family don’t concern ourselves with who pretends to be us. Those they deceive don’t matter to us; besides, there are so many impersonators out there. How could we possibly monitor them all?”


    Jimmy’s conviction only grew stronger at Steve’s words, leading him to respond with disdain, “You talk as if you’re telling the truth. I bet you wouldn’tst a minute in the U.S. If you pulled this stunt there, I could just call 911 and have you arrested!”<fn588a> Readplete version only at find~novel</fn588a>


    Intrigued, Steve looked at him and asked, “You seem quite knowledgeable about thew?”


    With a sense of pride, Jimmy replied, “Of course! I am Jimmy Smith, heir of the Smith family and a senior partner at thergestw firm, Ellis Law Firm, in the United States. My family has been a staple in the legalmunity for three generations, renowned for our reputation.”


    Then, with a menacing stare, he added, “You better pray I don’t uncover your true identity. If I find out you’re back in the U.S., you’ll be in for a world of trouble!”


    Steve chuckled and said, “So you’re with Ellis. Your boss has been serving as a legal advisor to the Rothschild family. He’s the reason Ellis is what it is today, with the Rothschilds providing support behind the scenes. If you doubt me, why not give him a call and ask what he thinks?”
