Chapter 3032 The Grassroots

Royce felt extremely aggrieved.

But the grievance was a grievance. Facing his furious father, he did not dare to say even one more word.

So, without saying a word, the father and son came to the family meeting room one after another.

In this conference room that resembles a medieval European palace, almost all family members are already present.

However, the old man has not come yet.

Everyone knows that today must be the day when the old man passes the throne to Steve. After the old man announces it, Steve will officially become the leader of the entire Rothschild family. Therefore, although everyone has ugly expressions, I also thought in my heart that I would try my best to please Steve as much as possible later.

From now on, everyone's resource income, as well as the power of life and death, will be in Steve's hands.

Seeing the arrival of Steve and Royce, everyone, without exception, stood up from their seats. The feeling was very similar to the solemn feeling when a group of generals saw the commander during a military meeting. Solemn.

Steve's younger brothers all gathered around him eagerly and greeted him diligently.

Steve felt unhappy when he saw the false and flattering expressions of several people, but he still nodded to everyone very politely.

David Rothschild, the youngest brother, said very attentively: "Brother, I wanted to visit you last night, but your housekeeper said you would not accept guests behind closed doors. Tonight, you have to give my brother a chance no matter what." , I have prepared some small gifts and want to deliver them to your house personally!"

Steve sneered and said, "David, you have your heart, but I don't have the nerve to let you spend money."

David hurriedly said: "Brother, what can you do to be polite to me? We are brothers and sisters. You have loved me the most since we were children."

Seeing David knelt down and licking him first, the others didn't fall behind for a moment and hurriedly approached Steve.

Steve watched these people's performances calmly, feeling increasingly sober.

He knew that once the old man failed to pass on the position of clan leader to him, these people would immediately change their faces, and they would definitely fight openly and secretly with him again, trying to win the good impression of the old man as much as possible and win the opportunity to replace him as the heir.

Therefore, as long as they cannot succeed to the throne today, these younger brothers will still strive to replace themselves. They will regard themselves as their biggest competitors and will never really bow to them.

At this time, the door of the conference room was pushed open. Everyone immediately followed the sound and saw the old butler opening the door of the conference room. Then, the old man Howard walked in with light steps.

When everyone saw Howard walking in, everyone was stunned.

Most people here have seen the old man suffering from a stroke, so they thought that the old man would have to be in a wheelchair and pushed in when he appeared today. But who would have thought that after not seeing him for one night, the old man would be completely sick. Got it!

However, they were shocked. Seeing that the old man looked as good as ever, these people all breathed a sigh of relief without exception.

In the Rothschild family, except for Steve's family who hope that the old man will die soon, everyone else hopes that the old man will be healthy.

For these family members who are not destined to become heirs, their lives are best when the old man is healthy and in power. Once the old man becomes ill or dies, they will be purged and reduced by the new patriarch.

David Rothschild reacted the fastest. One second, he was surrounding Steve and seizing the closest and best position to Steve. The next second, he had already mentioned the crowd, He ran towards Howard quickly.

"Father!" David took the lead and rushed to Howard. He immediately supported Howard's arm with his arm and said nervously: "Father, why did you come here on your own? There is nothing wrong with your body. Yet?!"

The sons who were still surrounding Steve suddenly came to their senses. One by one, they couldn't help but curse in their hearts that the young man on David's neck was quick to react. The other side also turned to Steve. The husband stood there and quickly gathered in front of Howard.

Royce on the side witnessed with his own eyes what a textbook-level wallflower was.

This group of people had just gathered in front of his father, so much so that he, his son, couldn't squeeze through.

But now, this group of people all crowded in front of grandpa, and father stood there alone, which actually seemed a bit lonely.

When Howard saw these sons, they all ran to him with excitement on their faces, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

When he was still in the medical center just now, he had already been touched by the filial piety of his eldest son Steve. Now that he saw that the other sons cared about him so much, he was moved and felt a little complacent. He felt that he was still a good father. It was quite successful, and the sons were filial to each other.

So, with a fatherly smile on his face, he announced to everyone in a sonorous voice: "I want to tell you good news. My body has fully recovered."

Hearing this, although these children and grandchildren did not know why the stroke could be cured so quickly, they were too excited to express their feelings.

David couldn't help but ask: "Father, you called us to a meeting here just to give us a surprise yourself?"

Howard smiled slightly and said, "That's about it. This time I used some extraordinary means to be able to recover in such a short period of time."

At this point, Howard's expression gradually became serious and he said sternly: "So you must remember that no one is allowed to mention the stroke to the outside world. Once I know that someone leaks the news, no matter who he is, I will kill him." Expelled from the Rothschilds!”

After everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly trembled.

For the Rothschild family, expulsion from the family is the highest and most severe punishment. Although the old man has used cruel words before, this is the first time that he has used the highest level of cruel words indiscriminately.

Except for Steve, everyone realized with joy that the reason why the old man didn't want the outside world to know that he had had a stroke was probably because he wanted to turn this incident into an unknown episode and make the outside world look like Ross. There was no internal upheaval within the Child family.

Since he doesn't want others to see the fluctuations, it proves that the old man definitely wants to continue to serve as the patriarch.

As a result, everyone nodded in surprise and vowed to never reveal this matter, otherwise they were willing to accept all punishments.

Howard nodded slightly with satisfaction, and then he came to the head of the huge conference table and sat down. The other children and grandchildren also hurriedly came to stand next to the seats on his left and right sides.

Howard stretched out his hand and motioned for everyone to sit down, and then everyone carefully moved their seats and sat down.

Although there were dozens of people present, in the entire conference room, apart from the sound of clothes rubbing against each other, there was almost no other movement. Everyone kept their mouths closed and did not dare to make any sound, and they did not even dare to pull up their chairs. Instead, you have to move it carefully, move it to the rear to give the space you need, and then carefully put it back on the woolen carpet.

During the entire process, the chair will not make any sound.

This is a rule that Howard has set in the family long ago, and it is still respected by everyone.

Seeing how meticulous and cautious everyone was, Howard felt very comfortable and satisfied. This was the charm of the position of patriarch for him.

Seeing that everyone sat down carefully and straightened their backs without any slack, Howard said with great satisfaction: "The main reason I called everyone to the meeting today is to announce something."

Hearing this, everyone looked at Howard intently. Whether Steve can succeed will be revealed at this moment.

Only Steve himself knows that the possibility of him succeeding today is zero.

At this time, Howard cleared his throat and said very seriously: "I announce that from today on, Steve will officially become the first heir of the Rothschild family, and Royce will become the Rothschild family." The second-in-line heir of the family! And I, while I can still move, will spend the rest of my time trying my best to lead the Rothschild family to a higher place!"
