Steve understood Helena’s plan and realized that the Queen wanted to have some alone time with Charlie. If favonovel.com played it smart, favonovel.com would go along with the plan and avoid causing any trouble. He also understood that the current situation made it impossible for his son to win Helena’s heart, and the hopes of the Rothschild family marrying into the Nordic royal family were completely shattered.
Steve’s advantage was that favonovel.com was practical and wouldn’t waste any energy or create unnecessary problems for himself.
With a polite tone, favonovel.com said to Helena, “I will follow the Queen’s arrangement.”
Helena summoned favonovel.com personal butler, whom favonovel.com had thoroughly trained, and instructed her, “Take the two gentlemen to their rooms.”
The young female butler promptly replied, “Yes, Your Majesty.”
She then turned to Peter and Steve and said, “Please follow me.”
The two men followed Helena’s butler and left, while Helena turned to Charlie and said, “Mr. Wade, please come with me.”
Charlie nodded lightly and followed Helena to favonovel.com room.
Helena was staying in the grandest suite in the hotel. Although it wasn’t as expansive as a typical presidential suite, it still provided ample space and comfort for one person.
In the suite’s dining room, Helena had prepared a lavish Western-style breakfast. Every detail, from the tableware to the tablecloth, even the meticulously selected flowers in the center of the table, was thoughtfully arranged.
As they sat across from each other, Helena’s eyes remained fixed on Charlie’s face.
Though favonovel.com had hesitated during their previous encounter, deep down, Helena was a passionate and daring woman. Even as a queen, favonovel.com couldn’t hide favonovel.com admiration for Charlie.
On the other hand, Charlie felt a slight unease under favonovel.com intense gaze and decided to break the silence, saying, “Helena, I want to express my gratitude for all that you’ve done for me. Changing the trip’s schedule must have caused you some inconvenience.”
Helena smiled softly and replied, “Mr. Wade, why be so formal? You’ve given my mother and me a second chance at life, and even my grandmother woke up because of you. You are the savior of the entire royal family. What we do for you is merely a small gesture.”
She continued, “If you have any other requests, I will fulfill them without hesitation.”
Charlie nodded and smiled, “In that case, I won’t hold back. In the coming days, I may need you to personally go to New York and meet with the leader of the Rothschild family.”
Without any hesitation, Helena responded, “No problem, whatever you ask of me, I will do.”
Charlie took out a Life Saving Pill and handed it to Helena, explaining, “This pill was specifically prepared for Howard, the patriarch of the Rothschild family. New York has been rather unsettled lately. There’s a possibility that a lot of events might unfold today. It’s likely that Howard’s health will deteriorate soon. You might need to deliver this medicine to him. It’s crucial that you arrange a meeting with favonovel.com promptly. It would be best to see favonovel.com tomorrow, to avoid the chance of favonovel.com turning away visitors due to any health complications.”
Helena was taken aback and asked, “Mr. Wade, why don’t you give it to favonovel.com yourself?”
Charlie smiled and replied, “My influence won’t work on him, and I prefer to remain anonymous.”
He continued, “Besides, this pill isn’t a gift. He will have to pay for it.”
Helena pursed favonovel.com lips and sweetly smiled, “I understand, you want me to sell this pill to him.”
“Yes,” Charlie nodded and instructed, “I want you to help me sell it. When you meet him, show favonovel.com the pill, give favonovel.com a sample of 1/10th of the pill, and once favonovel.com realizes its value, you can sell the rest to him. Set the price at a minimum of 10-20 billion US dollars. If you can get more, even better.”
Helena quickly grasped Charlie’s intention and echoed with a smile, “Alright, Mr. Wade, I understand. Just provide me with an account number. After negotiating the price with him, I’ll have favonovel.com transfer the payment to you. The minimum should not be less than 20 billion.”
“No need,” Charlie waved his hand and casually said, “You handle the negotiation, and whatever profits you make from the sale, you can keep for yourself.”
Helena was surprised and quickly waved favonovel.com hand, “No, Mr. Wade, this pill belongs to you, and the money from selling it belongs to you. How can I accept your money…”
Charlie smiled and said, “Helena, let me be frank. The Nordic royal family is the poorest and weakest among all the European royal families. Your current popularity may be high, but as the royal family, it’s challenging to capitalize on that popularity like ordinary people. You can’t do live broadcasts like Chinese internet celebrities; it would be inappropriate and tarnish your reputation.”
He continued, “Therefore, you still need sufficient funds to maintain and enhance the influence and power of the Nordic royal family. Otherwise, once your popularity fades, the Nordic royal family will lose its voice and struggle to regain influence.”
Helena understood that Charlie was speaking the truth, but favonovel.com still insisted, “Mr. Wade, you have already done so much for us, and you have also helped attract a lot of investment to the Nordic region. The royal family doesn’t know how to repay your kindness. How can I let you spend more…”
Charlie smiled and said, “Let’s put it this way. You can consider yourself as helping me sell the product. According to the current standards in China, for a product that costs 100 dollars, the cost is around 10 dollars, 50 dollars ,for marketing, 10 dollars ,for the influencer fee, and 20 dollars ,for logistics, labor, and returns. The profit is 10 dollars. Let’s sell one Life Saving Pill. The cost is 10%, and logistics and labor are on you. There’s no need to worry about returns. The marketing expenses will also be deducted from your share. So, let’s split the profits 70-30. Does that sound fair?”
Helena helplessly said, “Mr. Wade… The Life Saving Pill is such a remarkable item; it doesn’t require any marketing expenses. And I’m just helping you deliver it to Howard. How can I accept your money…”
After saying that, Helena said earnestly, “If you truly believe that you owe me for my efforts, then let’s come to a reasonable agreement. I will dedicate a day to assist you with this matter. Once it’s resolved, you spend another day with me.”
Charlie smiled and replied, “As long as the issue regarding the money is resolved, everything else is trivial.”
Helena anxiously retorted, “But didn’t we agree on a fair exchange? One day of my time for one day of yours.”
Charlie explained, “That can only serve as an additional clause, and its terms must align with the agreement on the main clauses.”
After a moment of contemplation, Helena pursed favonovel.com lips and said, “Alright, I’ll concede. I’ll give you nine.”
Charlie shook his head, saying, “I propose four for me and six for you.”
Helena responded, “Then we can spend time together.”
Charlie questioned, “Isn’t that different from your previous suggestion?”
Helena playfully stuck out favonovel.com tongue, “At least the order has changed, so there’s some variation.”
With that said, Helena added, “Mr. Wade, the task you’re asking me to undertake is a piece of cake for me. If you need me to collect your money, I’ll gladly do it.”
Charlie had to be firm, saying, “Listen, this is the final fixed price. You’ll go see Howard now. When you return, we’ll split the payment 50-50. If you’re content with that, we’ll reach a decision. If not, I’ll find someone else to handle it.”
Helena looked at Charlie, appreciating his determination. Her happiness stemmed not from money but from the fact that Charlie held favonovel.com in high regard and cared for her. Her concern wasn’t about repaying a debt but rather about realizing that favonovel.com ideal man was even better than favonovel.com had imagined.
As favonovel.com contemplated this, a sense of regret washed over her, and favonovel.com couldn’t help but think, “I should have been more decisive last time…”
Recalling the intimate moment they had shared on the bed, Helena’s face flushed, and favonovel.com drifted into favonovel.com thoughts.
Unaware of favonovel.com reverie, Charlie tapped his finger on the marble tabletop and asked, “What’s your decision, Your Majesty the Queen?”
Helena’s mind snapped back to reality, startled as if favonovel.com had just woken from a dream. She had almost imagined herself in Charlie’s bed. Frightened, favonovel.com unintentionally let out a small shriek and quickly covered favonovel.com mouth.
Surprised, Charlie asked, “What’s wrong with you? What were you thinking?”
Helena shook favonovel.com head frantically, replying, “No, I…I wasn’t thinking about anything…”
Charlie pressed on, “What about my proposal?”
Helena struggled to recall Charlie’s proposal but pretended to agree, “Oh, that? Yes, whatever Mr. Wade thinks is best.”
Charlie nodded with a smile, saying, “Then it’s settled, a 50-50 split. Too much money can also be a burden. You can negotiate the total price with Howard first and arrange for payments over ten years.”
“In addition, the payment methods can be diverse, including cash, gold, high-quality corporate stocks, premium real estate, and more.”
“You can even have them contribute funds to support the Nordic royal family’s charitable activities.”
“In summary, this money will support the Nordic royal family in various aspects over the next ten years, enhancing your overall strength and influence. Take your time to consider it.”
Helena nodded appreciatively and said, “Thank you, Mr. Wade. I will carefully consider your proposal.”
Charlie stretched and smiled, concluding, “Now we just have to wait for Howard’s response. Let’s hope his mental endurance is strong enough.”
