Chapter: 6123

For Steve, the current situation was like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders.

His grandfather had taken a severe blow from the stroke and would surely have some lingering effects even if he recovered well, not to mention the impact on his mental state... these factors would all reduce the possibility of him continuing to lead the Rosshilde family.

So, he could directly inherit the family business now and take over as the representative for all family affairs if needed. This was also why he couldn't hear any warning from Ye Chen's words, thinking they were meant to be a precautionary measure instead of a genuine warning. As a result, he felt his heart move with a true sense of emotions towards Ye Chen for the first time.

Although this forced "partner" had always been an annoyance to him, he didn't expect that person to actually be acting in his best interests. This made him suddenly feel, "If I had the upper hand, I would immediately kick him out and give him a face-losing lesson. Am I not being too unreasonable as Steve?"

In reality, he didn't know that Ye Chen wasn't thinking of him at all.

Because Ye Chen knew that absolutely couldn't let Howard Rosshilde, the old fox, just drop dead like this.

He took out the blood-saving elixir and had given it to Helena already. He was still relying on that elixir to gain multiple benefits and keep Steve in his position as the first heir.

So, he stood up and patted Steve's shoulder, smiling and said, "Steve, take your son and go back quickly, Helena originally wanted to chat with you about cooperation, but now it seems there's no time for that. But don't worry, just focus on taking care of your grandfather for the moment, then have Helena personally go to Gottfried in the future to represent the Northern Royal Family and pay their respects to your grandfather. It's also a way for her to gain more attention from him."

Steve was cunning as well and immediately understood Ye Chen's intentions - he wanted Helena to go to the family to set up a scene for himself, since his grandfather really wanted to get along with the Northern Royal Family.

As soon as Ye Chen said he could get Helena to Gottfried, Steve's heart was truly moved a little.

He couldn't help but grasp Ye Chen's hand, saying sincerely, "Mr. Ye, don't worry, I'll always remember what you said: 'When one is rich and powerful, do not forget those who helped you along the way!' If I become the heir of the Ross family, the Ye family will definitely be our strategic partner!"

Ye Chen nodded with a smile, pleased with Steve's attitude. "You have this kind of heart, so it's not in vain that I've helped you."

Steve enthusiastically nodded repeatedly, but just a second later, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart, "What's the real intention behind this thing? Ah, who cares, as long as someone helps someone else, and I'll smoothly take over the authority, and we'll all collaborate for a win. It's basically a successful business cooperation case."

As a result, he said with a grateful face, "Mr. Ye, thank you for your help!"

Ye Chen smiled slightly. "Good luck, I believe in you."

In reality, Ye Chen wasn't suspicious of Steve's sincerity at this moment, but he also knew that this kind of sincerity had a certain impulsive component to it.

It was like when someone had too much to drink and became more talkative and open, saying things they might regret later. But after waking up from the hangover, they would probably regret what they said.

So Ye Chen knew that he couldn't take Steve's words at face value; otherwise, he would be the one who got manipulated in the end.

After all, it was only when Ye Chen betrayed the interests of the Ross family and helped Steve send the Four-Sided Treasure out of Gottfried and back to the Flame Country that he could truly grasp Steve.

However, it relies on this to manipulate him, provided that Howard, this old fox, has a great deal of power in his grasp.

Once Steve, this prince, ascends to the throne, I'll tell Howard, this former emperor, that my grandson once committed a grave offense and conspired with external enemies. Howard can only swallow his words and keep silent, or he won't be able to avoid his son's reprisal.

Very soon, Steve brought along his son who had come earlier to Kara, and they boarded the helicopter to return to Gottfried together.

On his way back to Gottfried, the emergency room of the Ross family's house, Howard's vital signs were stabilized for the most part.

However, stable as it was, Old Master's nervous system still suffered a significant impact.

The most serious aspect is that almost all neural sensations have been lost on his right side, except for his right hand, right foot, right leg, and right arm. His facial muscles, tongue muscles, and other muscle groups on the right side are also affected, resulting in visible asymmetry of the face. JrNovels.com
