For James Rothschild, it was not the continuous blows from the President that crushed him, but the betrayal of his nephew, Lionel Rothschild.
James Rothschild had always regarded the European Rothschild Bank as a whole, having experienced betrayal from peers, agents, and employees, but he had never experienced an internal backstab from within the Rothschild Clan.
In his mind, James Rothschild still harbored the idea of a family-run bank, naively believing that no matter how severe the internal power struggles were within the Rothschild Clan, it would never escalate to the family members colluding with outsiders to seize power.
Even if one day his branch truly lost power and was forced to leave the Rothschild Bank, at least the meat would rot in the pot.
Now it seems that not everyone can understand his painstaking intentions.
