The Amazing son in law Chapter 6459
Although the post-World War II era was not as straightforward, the fundamental concept remains unchanged. People have become more civilized, leading to less direct requests for money and a more tactful approach when it comes to refusals.
These days, Helena is quite proactive, even traveling from Canada to visit. The royal family must have their own reasons for their actions, indicating that the Nordic royal family is at least interested in strengthening ties with the Rothschild family.
Steve understood that he was on the verge of officially taking over the family business. Helena’s visit at this time would certainly enhance his reputation. He quickly stated, “Father, I will reach out to Queen Helena later and check her schedule.”
Howard nodded in agreement: “Alright! I’ll leave it in your hands…”
…
After Steve exited the hospital room, he promptly arranged for the doctor to prepare the conference room. He then found an empty room, closed the door, and called Charlie Wade.
Once the call connected, Charlie Wade’s voice came through: “Steve, have you seen your father?”
“Yes, indeed!” Steve replied enthusiastically. “Mr. Wade, your predictions are spot on! My father mentioned he would gather all direct family members tomorrow to announce my succession as the family patriarch! This is all thanks to you, Mr. Wade!”
Charlie Wade chuckled lightly and said, “You’re welcome, but remember, your success is due to your own hard work. Don’t forget our agreement, Steve!”
Steve quickly assured, “Don’t worry, Mr. Wade! From now on, I’ll be ready to follow any instructions you give me.”
Despite his confident words, Steve harbored concerns. As long as he firmly held the position of clan leader, he wouldn’t have to fear manipulation from Charlie Wade. If Charlie made any demands he found unsatisfactory, he would not hesitate to sever ties.
However, he recognized that this was a critical moment in his takeover, and everything needed to go smoothly, so he complied.
Before ending the call, he asked Charlie Wade, “By the way, Mr. Wade, could you also reach out to Queen Helena on my behalf? My father is eager to see her, and I’d like to know her availability so I can prepare accordingly.”
Charlie Wade smiled and replied, “Certainly! The sooner, the better. If Helena arrives earlier, your father will surely appreciate you more.”
Steve responded with a smile, “Absolutely! My father values this greatly. Mr. Wade, please don’t hesitate.”
Charlie Wade then asked, “When does your father plan to officially announce your succession as patriarch?”
Without thinking, Steve blurted out, “Tomorrow morning at ten o’clock sharp! After the internal announcement, my father will make it public. By then, I’ll be fully established!”
Charlie Wade responded with a smile, “Alright, let’s arrange for Helena to come tomorrow morning. She can meet your father first, and then witness your succession as patriarch. That will certainly be a tribute to you!”
Steve exclaimed happily, “That sounds fantastic, Mr. Wade! Thank you so much!”
Charlie Wade replied casually, “No need for thanks. Just inform your father that Helena will be at the Rothschild estate by nine o’clock tomorrow morning. However, given her special status, it’s best to avoid any public spectacle. Arrange for a helicopter to discreetly transport her from Canada.”
“Absolutely!” Steve eagerly agreed. “I will personally pick up Her Majesty the Queen tomorrow morning!”
He then politely inquired, “Mr. Wade, would you like to join us?”
Charlie Wade smiled and said, “I’ll pass on this occasion. Once you successfully take over, I’ll send you a congratulatory gift.”
Steve smiled and replied, “You’re too kind. If I do become patriarch, I wouldn’t feel right accepting your gift.”
Charlie Wade shrugged it off, “Let’s not be formal. Once you’re in charge, we’ll have plenty of time for pleasantries.”
“Alright!” Steve said with a grin. “I still owe you my gratitude, Mr. Wade. Everything is thanks to you!”
