Chapter: 6154
Queen Helena pressed her lips together and looked at Howard, then at Steve, deliberately putting on a look of wanting to say but hesitating.
This old fox, despite his physical limitations, still had a sharp mind. He glanced at his son Steve and said: "Steve, you and the doctor go out first... I want to have a private chat with Queen Helena."
Let me know if you need anything else!
Steve knew this was his father's way to help his son gain an advantage, and he didn't hesitate to say, "Okay, Dad!"
As soon as Steve finished speaking, he quickly summoned the doctor to leave and before exiting, he reminded Howard, "Father, there is still plenty of time. You can chat with Her Majesty slowly. I will ask everyone outside to maintain a distance of at least 20 meters, so you don't have to worry."
Howard nodded satisfactorily and then signaled Steve to go out by tapping his back twice.
Steve quickly closed the door and then used his authority to get everyone outside to keep a distance of at least 20 meters, including himself.
Once everyone was gone, Helena immediately got straight to the point, looking at Howard's bedridden body and saying, "Mr. Howard, I must say that my main purpose for coming today is to make a business deal with you."
Howard didn't understand her intention and thought she just wanted to marry into the Rockefeller family and was using this as leverage to negotiate more favorable terms.
As a result, he said without hesitation, "As long as Her Majesty... agrees... to marry into the Rockefeller family... everything will be fine!"
Helena shook her head and said calmly, "I don't have any intention of marrying into any family. Now I don't, and in the future, I won't either. Although I've inherited the throne of Northern Europe, my personal marriage has no relation to the royal family. In the future, I will only marry for love or not at all, so there is no third option. From now on, Mr. Howard, you don't need to discuss any more about the topic of family alliances."
Howard didn't expect Helena to refuse him in such a straightforward manner, and his confidence and self-esteem were suddenly hit in the face, leaving his heart with some annoyance.
He spoke with a few degrees of anger, saying, "If Her Majesty... doesn't want to marry into the Rockefeller family... then what do you come here for? Do you still want to talk about cooperation with the Rockefeller family? You're not qualified enough!"
"Don't tell me... don't tell me... you just want to come and visit me, if it's just a visit, then you're not qualified enough!"
Seeing him get annoyed, Helena didn't get angry either, but smiled and said, "Mr. Howard, I am the reigning queen of Northern Europe. Two hundred years ago, your ancestor had to pay homage to my ancestor, and now that you see me in public, you should still bow down to me like your ancestor did to mine, or people will say you don't respect the royal family, not that I'm not qualified to accept your homage."
Howard was annoyed at this point, as Helena's words were correct. In European high society, respect for royalty is just a facade on the surface, and once you're in public, you must maintain it; otherwise, you'll be ridiculed by society. Even former presidents who had issues with etiquette during meetings with the British queen would be mocked by everyone.
Seething with anger, Howard exclaimed, "This... this is Rothschild estate! Not a public place! I can kick you out at any time!"
As he spoke, Howard was eager to call for someone to remove Helena immediately.
Helena saw that Howard was clearly getting angry, but she didn't get angry either, just laughed and asked, "Mr. Howard, if I said I could make you regain your health right now, even making you healthier than before your stroke, would you still say I'm not qualified to discuss cooperation with the Rockefeller family?"
Helena smiled and said, "Your team can't cure your illness, but I can."
As soon as she spoke, Helena took out the blood clotting pill given by Leaf from her handbag and said to Howard, "This pill comes from an ancient secret organization in the East. As long as you take it, you'll be able to recover like before your stroke. To alleviate your concerns, I can let you use a small amount of it for free beforehand, so you can feel its therapeutic effects firsthand. Then we can have a calm and rational conversation about the price afterwards."
Howard almost didn't think twice before scowling and saying, "I... I won't believe... this kind of crude... pill! This... rubbish... has no scientific basis!"
Helena said with disdain, "If you trust science, why are you afraid of the Breaker's Assembly? Are they more formidable opponents for your Rockefeller family than science?"
Howard suddenly looked puzzled.
He only knew that the Breaker's Assembly was mysterious, ancient, powerful, and ruthless, but he didn't quite understand what the core of this organization truly was. JrNovels.com
