"Let's go back, Ms. Moore."
Hearing Barron's words, Yulia's eyes flashed with confusion. She was a little confused, so she came here by car, and then accompanied the family heir to store it here. He walked around the gas tank, and then he didn't say anything and was about to go back?
At this time, Yulia felt a little complicated about Barron's feelings.
In addition to still being casual - taking the family's money and running to London to make so-called "investments" that he didn't even understand, he didn't even care about Chatsworth Manor and other properties...or he handed them over to Sean the butler. , or she still manages it by herself... Even when she went to the apartment where Barron lived that day, she could still smell the faint smell of alcohol - he must have been drinking and drinking again the night before.
From this point of view, this young master still behaves like a playboy.
But at certain times, Yulia was a little bit elusive about the duke's heir's thoughts. Just like just now, when she saw Barron's expression, she suddenly had an unfathomable feeling...
Yulia shook it off subconsciously. With his head turned, as if to shake off this incredible thought, he followed Barron and got into the car.
...
"Ms. Moore, I am prepared to pay all inheritance taxes and complete the inheritance of the family property."
After returning to the apartment in Kensington, Barron's words made Yulia look surprised:
" Are you ready to sell that piece of land? Your Excellency."
"No, I will use my own money to pay the inheritance tax. I hope you can contact me to complete the inheritance procedures for the title and family assets." "
Yourself Money?"
Barron's words made Yulia even more confused:
"Where did you get so much money? That requires two million pounds!"
You must know that even in 2002, two million pounds was still not a small amount. At this time, the exchange rate of GBP/USD is as high as over 1.5!
And in terms of purchasing power, it is far from comparable twenty years later.
"You don't need to worry about this. I can guarantee that it is all legal income... Well, my 'investment' has made a small profit."
F**K! Do you think I'm a fool, or am I crazy? A small gain? What can you do to get more than £2 million back on your £100,000 in just ten days?
Yulia almost said what she was thinking directly, but she still had reason, so she just said:
"As the manager of the family trust fund, Your Excellency, I think it is necessary for me to know how you obtained the money. , I don't want there to be any dangerous consequences, or something that will embarrass the Cavendish family be revealed in the future..." "
No, this is not what you need to know, Ms. Moore."
Objectively. In general, there is no need to avoid Yulia about what Barron has done during this period, but he still does not intend to be honest with her about it.
After all, he could feel that the woman in front of him did not fully support him.
Or as the manager of the family fund, Yulia will fulfill her obligation to help Barron within the rules, but other than that, deep down in her heart, she does not have enough recognition and trust in him.
These are not difficult to see for Barron, who spent more than ten years in a fickle place like the financial circle in his previous life.
In this case, similarly, the other party still cannot gain enough trust from him.
"You can rest assured that family honor is also something I cherish. Even though I have not yet become a real duke, I have always required myself according to the standards of the nobility." "
But I will know this sooner or later, right? "
Yes, you will know sooner or later..."
Seeing Yulia's eyes staring closely at him, her chest rising and falling, and taking deep breaths to stabilize her emotions, Barron walked up to her with a smile on his face:
"Before that, Ms. Moore, why don't we talk first? Can you talk about my brother?"
"You mean Mr. James..."
In Barron's eyes, what made him interesting was that after he mentioned his brother, Yulia looked directly at him. His eyes turned to one side...
and the sad look that flashed across the other person's face did not escape his observation.
"Yes, my dear brother, James Cavendish."
Barron said, stretched out his fingers, lifted Julia's chin, and turned her face to face him.
It can be said that his action was very frivolous. A look of disgust flashed on Yulia's face and she took a step back...
Barron didn't care about her reaction, and naturally put down his hand and continued:
" My brother is kind, hard-working, conscientious, and follows the sense of noble responsibility. You should think so too, Ms. Moore, am I right?" "
Yes, Mr. James is completely different from you. An upright gentleman."
"Then what I have always been curious about is, if it were my brother, and he was the heir of the family at this time, would you also be like this, always with a questioning attitude?"
Yulia After a moment of silence, he sighed and said:
"Your Excellency, although my surname is not Cavendish, the Cavendish family is kind to me, so after the Duke granted me this position, I swore that I would I am loyal to the Cavendish family and do my best to protect everything about the family, including the industry... and reputation. So everything I do is for this purpose. If you feel that I have any doubts about my attitude towards you, then I I hope you will think about whether it is because of yourself?"
"Ms. Moore, your words really touched me. In this era, such traditional loyalty is really rare..."
Barron said. , could hardly help but applaud.
"Loyalty will exist in any age!"
"So who are you loyal to? Ms. Moore, who is the Cavendish family in your eyes? My father? My brother? Or is it me?" "
I used to be loyal to the Duke. My lord, you are loyal to Mr. James, and you will continue to be loyal to the Cavendish family... Those who are worthy of loyalty, if you are too, your lord." "
See... doubts still exist, Ms. Moore."
Barron said slightly Shaking his head:
"But I believe that if it is my brother, then you will not have the slightest doubt, and maybe it is not the reasons you said. Well, maybe it is not all out of loyalty, but something else. Stronger emotions..."
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?!"
"You should know it well, Ms. Moore. When I was cleaning up my brother's room, I saw a picture of you in his drawer. The group photo was well collected by him... The people in the photo are my brother, and you, Ms. Moore."
Seeing Yulia's face change greatly, turning a little pale, Barron said with regret Said:
"Ms. Moore in the photo is completely different from now. Her smile is really... sweet. Although I know that my brother has been engaged before, when I see that photo, I can't help but sigh, you two It really matches well..."
