Chapter: 6161

So, he thought that Steve's filial feelings towards him might surpass the attraction of inheritance.

This really filled him with joy and also made him appreciate Steve's good qualities a lot more.

Helena saw that Howard seemed to be deep in thought and suddenly opened her mouth and said, "Mr. Rothschild, it's truly wonderful that you have such a filial son. I believe that after he officially takes over the company today, he will definitely run the Rothschild family well, as virtue is the highest standard for business."

He couldn't help but shudder when he heard this conversation.

His son's filial piety was indeed heartwarming, but every time he thought about the originally scheduled 10 o'clock family meeting, he would feel anxious and think to himself: "It's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's moving, but since my body has completely recovered, there's no need for temporary arrangements! I don't want to pass on the mantle so early to Steve, and I decided to do so under duress after falling ill. Now that my body has recovered, it's only natural that there won't be a passing of power!"

He thought to himself: "Although this might be unfair to Steve, I believe that since his son is so filial towards me, he will definitely not have too much objection."

"And besides, even if he does have an opinion, I can compensate him somehow! We didn't completely determine the identity of the successor beforehand, did we? So let's just make a decision at the 10 o'clock family meeting and give it to Steve! Let him at least get some reassurance!"

Helena saw that Howard was deep in thought and not speaking, so she knew he wouldn't follow his original plan and pass on the mantle to Steve.

As expected, Howard looked up with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, thank you for taking the trouble to come to New York to participate in the internal meeting of the Rothschild family to establish the successor, with your presence, the Rothschild family will flourish!"

Helena pretended to be surprised and asked: "Isn't it supposed to be announced today that Steve is the successor? How did you change your mind?"

Howard waved his hand and smiled slightly, as if he was a bit embarrassed: "Plans couldn't catch up with changes, and changes couldn't outstrip plans. I didn't think about this earlier when my body recovered, did I?"

Helena smiled slightly: "It's partly because Steve's filial piety moved God that you've recovered your health."

Helena said this, but her heart was secretly thinking: "Howard has indeed changed his mind. This fully verifies Mr. Ye's prediction that Mr. Ye is always omniscient!"

In fact, it's not that Mr. Ye is omniscient; he just understands human nature.

Since Howard plans to pass on the family headship to Steve because of his stroke, if he were to recover from his stroke, he would definitely abandon this idea.

Sometimes, human nature works like a chemical reaction's logic.

After water is electrolyzed, it will generate oxygen and hydrogen. This is the formula for a chemical reaction; if you remove the electricity, the water remains just that - water.

Howard has always been a good patriarch, which is like the water;

but he suddenly had a stroke, which is like the electricity;

the oxygen and hydrogen generated through electrolysis are like the result of Howard planning to step down in favor of his son Steve.

So, it's only after Howard has had a stroke that there will be this outcome of him stepping down for Steve.

Now that Howard's condition for stepping down has been eliminated, it's as if pulling out a plug, and Steve's inheritance of being the tribe leader would naturally be eliminated too.

That's why, in Ye Chen's view, if Howard recovered and continued to pass on his position, it would be like leaving water exposed to the air, which would break down into hydrogen gas and oxygen on its own, and that would be a ghostly sight.

Just then, Helena let out a sigh and said to Howard, "Mr. Rockefeller, since your plan has changed over here, I won't attend the meeting afterwards."

Howard was puzzled and asked, "Your Majesty, why won't you attend? You've already come, no harm in staying behind to guide and witness, right?" JrNovels.com
