The Amazing son in law Chapter 6971
“Your Majesty… Wait a moment, Your Majesty!”
Seeing Helena take the pill, Howard’s nerves kicked in, causing him to exclaim without thinking.
After Helena allowed the pill to dissolve into a warm stream within her mouth and flow into her stomach, she felt its refreshing effects and asked Howard, puzzled, “What’s the matter, Mr. Rothschild? Why are you making such a scene?”
Noticing that Helena had consumed the entire pill, Howard sighed heavily and responded, “Your Majesty… why did you eat that half of the pill…”
Confused, Helena replied, “What’s wrong? Mr. Rothschild only purchased half of it. Is there a problem if I take the other half? Is it wrong for me to consume my own medicine?”
Realizing he had inadvertently upset her, Howard quickly clarified, “Your Majesty, I… I didn’t mean it that way… I just thought that since you’re so young, healthy, and full of energy, taking this medicine might be a bit… well, a bit of a waste…”
After saying that, Howard felt the term “waste” was inappropriate, so he swiftly amended his statement, “Your Majesty… that’s not what I intended… I just… I was hoping to buy that half of the pill… I would be willing to pay 50 billion US dollars or more… but you just consumed a pill worth 50 billion dollars so casually… I… I do feel a bit regretful…”
Helena smiled and nodded, replying, “I didn’t consider that at all while eating it. After all, you only bought half a pill, and I was too lazy to store the other half, so I simply consumed it.”
Looking at Howard, who appeared crestfallen, she continued, “Moreover, Mr. Rothschild, don’t forget that what I promised was the right to purchase half of the Blood-Dispersing and Heart-Saving Pill, not the whole pill. Even if you offered me another 50 billion US dollars, I wouldn’t sell you this half pill.”
“But why…” Howard, feeling like a child, protested. “Your Majesty, if you claim that this pill isn’t yours and sold me half on behalf of someone else, and the remaining half needs to be returned to its rightful owner, I could understand why you wouldn’t sell it to me. However, you would prefer to consume it yourself rather than trade it for 50 billion dollars or more. Could it be… could it be that 50 billion dollars holds no value to you?”
Helena smiled and responded, “When a person has greater aspirations in life, money becomes merely a figure. In my future, I may not even manage to spend 500 million dollars, let alone 50 billion. If I can’t possibly spend 500 million, what significance does 50 billion hold?”
Howard was momentarily taken aback. He couldn’t grasp why Helena didn’t seem to care about 50 billion dollars. Is it really possible for someone not to cherish money?
Even with boundless wealth, she still sought higher achievements. As the Queen of Northern Europe, could Helena truly regard 50 billion dollars so lightly?
Confused, Howard couldn’t help but inquire, “Your Majesty, do you have any more pills? If so, would you consider selling me some extra?”
Helena nodded calmly, saying, “I certainly have more pills, but I can’t sell them to you at this moment. It will depend on how you perform.”
Howard quickly replied, “Rest assured, Your Majesty. As long as you have elixirs available for sale, I am ready to go to great lengths for you!”
