The Amazing son in law Chapter 6534

Jenny Hogwitz couldn’t hold back her emotions; Howard’s words brought her to tears as she bowed her head in gratitude, exclaiming, “Thank you, esteemed patriarch! Thank you!”

At that moment, Jenny felt utterly overwhelmed. She had exhausted every option but didn’t dare approach the Rothschild family for assistance, knowing full well that they regarded their distant relatives with disdain.

But was it mere coincidence that today, of all days, Howard chose to extend a lifeline to the side family?

Howard’s unexpected gesture signaled to Jenny that this was an invaluable opportunity.

The other collateral families were equally grateful and thrilled to witness Howard taking such responsibility toward them.

With a warm smile, Howard rose and said, “If you ever face a similar situation again, please reach out to the clan liaison office immediately. I will assign my most trusted aides to be there, dedicated to resolving your issues.”

When Howard mentioned “aides,” it dawned on all the sons that he was wary of them.

Typically, if there’s a need to connect with relatives, one would naturally choose the most suitable family member to foster those ties and make the collateral families feel valued.

However, Howard bypassed his sons and grandsons for this role, indicating that while he wished to strengthen relationships with the collateral families, he also aimed to create distance from his own children and grandchildren.

This revealed his true intention: to guard against his own descendants.

In this tense atmosphere, Steve, the eldest son, felt a wave of depression wash over him.

He silently cursed, “The old man fears I’ll band together with our relatives to challenge him in the future. Now he’s pressuring me from both inside and out. I can’t break through internally, nor can I seek support externally. He’ll always keep me in the heir’s position like this. There’s no way out…”

With this thought, he lamented, “Thank goodness that charlie Wade only granted the old man a few more years. No matter how hard the old man tries, he can’t hold on forever. Eventually, when his health declines, he’ll have no choice but to step aside…”

Suddenly, panic gripped Steve as he sighed, “If, like Helena said, charlie Wade enables the old man to outlive me, it’s game over! If charlie Wade continues to extend the old man’s life, I won’t stand a chance against that crafty old man…”

At that moment, fear consumed Steve.

He understood that given the old man’s current state, he would fight tooth and nail to live longer, maintaining his grip on the family leadership and never allowing Steve an easy path to success. Thus, his destiny was entirely in charlie Wade’s hands.

With this realization, he felt an urgent need to visit charlie Wade the very next day to pay his respects, seeking forgiveness and expressing his loyalty.

Meanwhile, Howard’s approach deeply moved the collateral families in attendance, instilling in them a genuine sense of sincerity.

Howard sought to win over these families, planning to establish a role model. Unexpectedly, Jenny Hogwitz’s emotional plea unfolded before a large audience. To him, this was the ideal moment to showcase the courage, strength, and integrity of the patriarch.

And it didn’t seem like a daunting task.

After all, it was simply about the Hogwitz father and son who had gone missing in China.

In cases of disappearance, there are typically three outcomes: the person is deceased, alive but hiding voluntarily, or alive but hidden by someone else.

If it’s the first scenario, locating the body would be the simplest resolution, providing closure to Jenny.

If it’s the second or third scenarios, the goal would be to find the two men, regardless of whether they are hiding out of their own accord or not. Essentially, bringing them back to the United States would solve the issue.

Thus, Howard turned to the direct members of the Rothschild family seated at the conference table and inquired, “Who among you is willing to volunteer to travel to China to assist Jenny in bringing her husband and son back?”

All the children and grandchildren exchanged glances.

Who would want to leave New York at such a critical time?

If anything were to happen in New York while they were in China, wouldn’t they completely miss their chance to compete?

Howard felt a surge of frustration as he observed the silence; not a single member of the group spoke up. These children and grandchildren usually adhered to his wishes, but now, when he needed them to step forward, they acted like timid dogs. What would happen if someone dared to challenge them?

Just as Howard felt cornered, his eldest son Steve stood up and declared, “Father, let me go! This concerns the safety of our clan members; we must treat it with the utmost seriousness. You’re getting older, and it wouldn’t be wise for you to travel there personally. Therefore, as your eldest son, please allow me to represent you in China!”

“Damn!”

Howard was overjoyed, and he even expressed his praise for Steve’s initiative, albeit with a touch of irritation.

Inwardly, he reflected:

“What true leadership looks like…”

“This is what real leadership is all about!”

“While none of the others are willing to leave New York, my eldest son has stepped up!”

“It seems Steve truly is my exceptional eldest son! A devoted firstborn!”
