Chapter: 6496
As for herself now, she desperately needs an opportunity to strengthen her grip on the entire family.
If ten billion dollars can really help her create a perfect persona again, combined with Howard Rockefeller's promise, the Hogwarts family will absolutely not have anyone who can threaten her.
Thinking of this, she clenched her teeth and said to Howard: 'Master, I'll listen to you! Give them the money!'"
Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
"It's great." Howard relaxed and comforted her, "Jenny, don't worry, this money will definitely be worth it! You just send a message to them saying you'll arrange for 10 billion dollars in cryptocurrency as soon as possible. I'll assemble a press team right now and start following you 24/7 from now on, all of which is material for promotion."
Jenny didn't think Howard would be so enthusiastic and suddenly felt like she had swallowed a calming pill, excitedly saying, "Then I'll do everything according to the patriarch's orders!"
...
Just as the press team started following Jenny comprehensively, Steve Rockeller Jr. in Xianlin received his father's phone call from afar.
On the phone, Howard opened with, "Steve, it's been tough being away in Xianlin, hasn't it?"
Steve hurriedly replied, "Father, I'm worried about the family and won't find it tiring anywhere."
"That's great!" Howard was extremely satisfied with Steve's attitude, smiling and saying, "You don't need to stay in Xianlin anymore. Today, the Hogwarts family received a ransom note from an unknown party. The father-son duo is not in Xianlin but at sea. You can prepare quickly and return as soon as possible."
Steve had already known about Ye Chen's arrangement, so when he heard this, he wasn't surprised, although he still pretended to be gloomy and cursed, "Those damn kidnappers! I thought they would hide the person in Xianlin, but it turns out they've already transferred them away. How cunning!"
"Don't worry." Howard laughed and said, "It's just a gesture for our distant relatives to know we care about them. As the designated successor of the Hogwarts family and the 2nd most important figure, you can personally help find the person. You're not lacking in ability; it's just that the information is incorrect. So you can return with honor."
"Okay, father." Steve opened with, "Since Xianlin has nothing to do anymore, I'll get ready quickly and head back to see you right away."
"Good." Howard said with a satisfied tone, "After you return, we'll host a banquet to entertain those distant relatives and deepen their gratitude and reliance towards us. This will also lay a good foundation for your future inheritance."
Steve quickly spoke in a very grateful tone, "Thank you, father! Thank you for your kindness!"
As Steve said this, his mind was secretly grumbling and gloomy, saying to himself, "Is it really so majestic? I'm just pretending to be the designated heir. If only you could live another 50 years, you wouldn't possibly let me become the clan leader in the next 49 years. I might as well rely on Ye Chen."
Steve chatted with his father for a bit longer over the phone before hanging up and then quickly dialed Ye Chen's number.
At this moment, Ye Chen was driving towards the Purple Gold Manor, having received information from Lin Wan'er about an hour ago. Lin Wan'er had invited him to discuss some new leads at the manor, prepared tea sets and dinner for him, and even asked him to have a cup of tea with her.
When Steve called, he quickly said, "Mr. Ye, my father is calling me back, it seems I can't stay by your side anymore, as I've worried about you."
Ye Chen laughed, "I don't have anything to worry about either. Since he's already let you go, why not hurry back?"
Steve hurriedly asked, "Mr. Ye, may I invite you for a drink before you leave?"
Ye Chen said, "There's no need to drink, just take your leave."
Steve was taken aback and laughed twice, saying, "Mr. Ye, you're really good at making jokes. As someone who's truly grateful, I would like to invite you for a drink and hope you can give me a smile."
Steve asked, "When are you going back?" JrNovels.com
