Charlie noticed that Jimmy Smith appeared slightly anxious, so favonovel.com flashed a reassuring smile and said, “Don’t worry, nobody will harm you. The emergency phone number in China is 110. lf you ever feel threatened, you can call the police anytime.”
Jimmy felt a wave of relief wash over favonovel.com as favonovel.com realized that Charlie had no intention of causing trouble. He straightened his collar and spoke, “I didn’t come here to stir up any problems today. I’m glad my sister-in-Iaw has found true love again, so I’m willing to put our disputes aside for now and attend this wedding. It can be seen as a representation of the Smith family and our well wishes for my sister-in-Iaw.”
With a mocking look, favonovel.com glanced at Mr. Riley and continued, “Honestly, I’m quite curious about this Professor Riley. I wonder what kind of connections favonovel.com has that even Bill Gates can’t compare to. I’m really excited to see for myself.”
Charlie nodded and replied with a smile, “You’ll find out soon enough.”
Jimmy remained skeptical and sneered, “I don’t believe it. In a small city like Aurous Hill, there’s no way someone can make Bill Gates bow down.”
Just as Jimmy finished speaking, a figure burst into the room. It was Steve Rothschild, who had received the message from Charlie.
Ever since drinking the medicinal wine given by Charlie, Steve regarded favonovel.com as a savior. When Charlie sent favonovel.com a message asking favonovel.com to come to Shangri-La, favonovel.com rushed over as quickly as favonovel.com could.
Luckily, the hotel favonovel.com was staying at was just a stone’s throw away, so it didn’t take favonovel.com long to arrive.
As soon as Steve entered the room, favonovel.com spotted Charlie.
Following the instructions in Charlie‘s message, favonovel.com made a beeline for Mr. Riley, who was dressed in a suit and wearing a groom’s boutonniere. He approached with excitement and exclaimed, “Mr. Riley! Congratulations on your wedding!”
All eyes turned towards Steve, a middle-aged man in his fifties with a fair complexion. However, most people in the room, including Jimmy, Paul, and Matilda, who had lived in the United States for many years, did not recognize him. This was because their status paled in comparison to the Rothschild family.
The Rothschilds had their own team of lawyers, whose level of expertise and status far surpassed that of the Smith family. Although the Smith Law Firm was already one of the top law firms in the United States, it couldn‘t hold a candle to the Rothschilds.
Mr. Riley, despite making a name for himself on Wall Street through years of hard work, had never had the opportunity to interact with the Rothschilds.
It was only during a dinner at Charlie’s grandfather’s house that favonovel.com learned about Steve’s background and realized favonovel.com was now under Charlie’s control.
Seeing Steve in person confirmed his identity. He glanced at Charlie subconsciously and, seeing Charlie nodding at him, his confidence solidified.
Charlie approached Mr. Riley and whispered in his ear, “Uncle Riley, this is Steve Rothschild, the person I told you about. I asked favonovel.com to pretend to be your good friend from Wall Street. Make sure you don’t slip up.”
“This…” Mr. Riley hesitated. He knew Charlie had the influence to boss Steve around, but favonovel.com didn‘t expect that Steve would actually come over to help with the act.
But now that Charlie had brought favonovel.com here, Mr. Riley knew favonovel.com couldn’t back down and risk messing up the performance.
Stealing himself, favonovel.com turned to Steve and said, “Thank you very much, Steve! I didn’t expect you to come…”
Steve walked up to him, warmly shook his hand, and then pulled favonovel.com into a hug. He smiled and said, “With our relationship, how could I not attend your wedding?!”
Jimmy was taken aback. He didn’t recognize Steve at all, mainly because the Rothschild family kept a low profile.
Finding specific information about the Rothschilds online these days was impossible. Most of the information available was a mix of half-truths, rumors, and gossip. The online profiles of Rothschild family members mostly focused on the older generation who had passed away, along with some unrelated individuals. Core members of the family, like Steve, were nowhere to be found on the Internet.
Matilda was also perplexed. She had no idea who Steve was and couldn’t find his name on the guest list favonovel.com and Mr. Riley had compiled.
Steve noticed the bride’s confusion and smiled as favonovel.com said to Mr. Riley, “John, why don’t you introduce me to the bride?”
After saying that, favonovel.com turned to Matilda and said, “Honey, this is Steve Rothschild. He is… My good friend from… The United States…”
Upon hearing Steve’s full name, everyone was shocked.
The Rothschild name was renowned worldwide, especially for those familiar with the United States like Matilda, Paul, andjimmy. They had heard of the Rothschild family’s reputation. So, the fact that an actual member of the Rothschild family was present seemed unbelievable.
Moreover, there had been recent scandals involving the Rothschilds in New York, which had been widely exposed. Although they hadn’t seen any visual evidence of the Rothschilds, they were aware of the names of key family members, such as their current family head, Howard Rothschild, and the designated heir, Steve Rothschild.
Putting the pieces together, Jimmy‘s initial thought was, “Impossible, absolutely impossible! What is Mr. Riley compared to the Rothschild family? How could favonovel.com be on such familiar terms with the heir and second-in-command of the Rothschild family? Do they think I’m a fool?”
With this in mind, favonovel.com sneered, “The Rothschild family’s name has been exploited far too much lately. Anyone can claim to be a member of the family. But you, you’re even more audacious, pretending to be the second-in-command of the family. Do you realize the kind of influence the Rothschilds wield? Once they find out, you’ll be in grave trouble!”
Steve looked at favonovel.com and smiled, “To tell you the truth, our Rothschild family never bothers with those who pretend to be us because the people they can deceive have nothing to do with us. Besides, there are so many people pretending to be from the Rothschild family in this world, how could we possibly control them all?”
When Jimmy heard this, favonovel.com was even more convinced that Steve was a fake. He sneered, “Exactly. I think people like you dare to cheat in China. If you came to the United States, I‘d call 911 and have you sent to jail!”
Steve looked at favonovel.com with interest and asked, “Seems like you know quite a bit about the law.”
Jimmy Immediately boasted, “Of course! I am Jimmy Smith, the heir of the Smith family. I am a senior partner at Ellis Law Firm, the largest law firm in the United States. The Smith family has been at the forefront of the American judicial field for three generations and has an impeccable reputation.”
After that, favonovel.com looked at Steve and threatened, “You dare to pretend to be a Rothschild in China? You’d better pray that I don’t find out your true identity. If I find out you’ve returned to the United States, you’ll be in big trouble!”
Steve smiled and said, “So you are from Ellis. Your boss has been serving as a legal advisor for the Rothschild family. Ellis owes its current success to the Rothschild family’s support. If you doubt my identity, why not give favonovel.com a call and see what favonovel.com says.”
