The current situation was clearly favorable to Julien.
No matter how well Harrison recovered after a stroke, there would inevitably be many after-effects, and more importantly, his spirits would likely be greatly affected. All of this would reduce his chances of continuing to lead the family.
Julien felt that he effectively held real power as he could directly inherit the family now or in certain contexts, he could manage all family affairs in the capacity of an heir.
Therefore, he could not interpret that Charlie was actually warning him. He assumed that Charlie had advised him not to be so happy so that he could control his emotions better after returning to New York.
This was the first time he was truly moved by Charlie's actions.
He had always been upset with Charlie, whom he reluctantly saw as a partner, but he was now moved by the fact that Charlie cared about him.
He muttered under his breath, "He's so nice to me. It would be rather cruel of me to fall out with him when I'm in power, isn't it?"
In fact, he had no idea that Charlie had no intention to help him at all.
Charlie knew very well that he could not let Harrison die just like that.
He had already given the Healing Pill to Helena, the very pill that he counted on to bring him many gains and to keep Julien in the position of heir.
