"Your Highness, thank you for your love for children with cerebral palsy."
If you were to ask where in Britain the aristocrats appear most frequently, apart from some parties, it would be charity events.
After all, as a manifestation of the British aristocracy's social responsibility, charity is now their most active stage.
Now Barron also receives many invitations to such activities on a daily basis, especially as his popularity grows, so he will also choose to participate in some activities to increase his presence.
"This is what I should do. Every child deserves the love and care of society."
At this fundraising event for a charity organization related to children with cerebral palsy, after Barron made a donation, a lady came up to him and thanked him.
At first, Barron thought the other person was just a staff member of this charity organization, but after seeing the appearance of the lady in front of him, he felt that she looked familiar...
"By the way, I seem to have seen you somewhere, ma'am, may I know your name?"
"My name is Samantha Cameron, Your Royal Highness, and I am currently working as the Design Director at Smythson."
"I thought you were a staff member here, but I didn't expect you to be a designer..."
"In fact, I didn't pay much attention to the group of children with cerebral palsy until my son was born with the disease. Then I realized there were so many unfortunate children... I can say that my family conditions are enough to withstand this blow - but I need to spend more energy on my children. However, in the UK and even the world, there are more families with more difficult conditions who are trying hard to make their unfortunate children grow up healthily, so I need to do something to help them..."
After hearing what Samantha said, Barron said sincerely:
"You are a strong mother and a great mother. I believe you will say that what I have done is not worth mentioning. I have a humble request, ma'am. Can I have a chance to meet your child? I just hope that he can feel the love of a stranger."
"You are so kind, Your Highness. If there is an opportunity, it will be an honor for our whole family."
…
Although she knew that Barron often attended charity events and donated money to them, his... how should I put it, extra concern for Mrs. Cameron just now surprised Wang Yating who had been by his side.
The lady did look very elegant and well-mannered, but based on Wang Yating's understanding of her boss, he would definitely not have any other thoughts about her. After all, not to mention the big age difference, the Duke's girlfriend was in no way more beautiful than the other.
His Royal Highness the Duke shouldn't be that outrageous, Wang Yating thought, but she couldn't say for sure...
If Barron knew what his personal assistant was thinking, he would probably want to teach him a lesson. What is he thinking? Am I, Barron, such a person?
At least in Samantha's case, that certainly wasn't the reason.
The reason why he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity just now to get in touch with her more was entirely because of her last name...
If he just felt that Samantha looked familiar at first, and then knew that her last name was Cameron...then how could Barron not know that Samantha would become the future wife of the British Prime Minister?
The current British Prime Minister is John Brown, who is from the Labour Party.
It can be said that since Mrs. Thatcher and her successor Major, the Conservative Party continued to be an opposition party for the next thirteen years, until it formed a coalition cabinet and came to power again in 2010.
The person who represented the Conservative Party to become the British Prime Minister in 2010 was Cameron, who was then the youngest Prime Minister in the UK in nearly two hundred years. After him, until Barron's rebirth, although Britain changed prime ministers frequently, the incumbent prime ministers were all from the Conservative Party.
Therefore, Cameron, who is now just a member of Congress, is very worthy of Barron's investment.
And compared to the Labour Party, which is not friendly to the aristocracy, the Conservative Party is more "friendly". After all, the term Conservative Party first appeared in the British magazine "The Conservative" in 1817, mainly referring to the political force that maintains the monarchy, monarchical principles or orthodox principles...
The most important thing is that some of the policies advocated by the Conservative Party will be more beneficial to Barron in the future, because they like "free market economy and reduced state intervention", which is similar to the policies of Mrs. Thatcher at that time who liberalized many fields and privatized state-owned assets. In this way, even if it follows historical inertia, by 2010, with Barron's strength, it will be easier to penetrate his tentacles into more areas of the country, such as water, electricity and gas, which are public areas related to the basic needs of all citizens.
This is what the capitalists like best. It is nothing like the Labour Party, which only thinks about building a "welfare state" and expanding nationalization. In that case, Britain is still a capitalist country. It is just a mess! In the
end, people are not engaged in production. How can the country be competitive? After 20 years, the manufacturing industry is in decline, and only the financial shell is left. Can it rely on "selling diplomas" to drive the economy?
…
"Hello, Miss Ella."
"Mr. Barron, I hope I didn't disturb you."
What surprised Barron was that when he was about to go home, he received a call from Gabrielle Windsor, the eldest daughter of the Kent family. The only time the two met was at a ball held at Viscount Bute's house. At that time, Miss Ella took the initiative to invite Barron to dance with her. After that, they occasionally sent text messages, but Barron was having a hot affair with Bonnie at the time and did not take the initiative to contact her.
After all, Miss Ella was born into the royal family and was still unmarried. Barron was unwilling to take the risk of causing the other party to misjudge him - at this time, he was the Duke of England, but marrying into the royal family was not a good choice, and it would be more likely to be subject to more restrictions.
But since the other party took the initiative to call, Barron naturally had to act more gentlemanly:
"No, and any call from Miss Ella is not considered a disturbance, even when I need to save the world."
"Haha, Your Highness, you are so humorous."
"Well, absolutely from the bottom of my heart. By the way, Miss Ella, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Is it not possible to have a small talk with Mr. Barron?"
Hearing the naive words from the other side, Barron really didn't know how to respond for a moment.
But Gabriel quickly continued:
"I heard that your family's Chatsworth Estate is very beautiful. I'm on vacation now and want to find a place to play. Is it convenient?"
Her words made Barron hesitate for a few seconds. It would be fine if she went alone, but if she insisted on accompanying him - when he returned to the manor, Bonnie would definitely go with him, which would be a bit... inappropriate.
"Of course you are welcome. You can come anytime. I will notify them and welcome you with the most solemn etiquette."
"So when is Mr. Barron going back? Would I have the honor of having you take me to see the scenery over there?"
Eh? Are you really enjoying the scenery?
The key is, don't you read the newspaper? I'm in a relationship now, and I'm afraid there are few people in England who don't know about it.
Barron couldn't figure out what the other party meant, but he still said politely,
"It's my pleasure, Miss Ella. It's just that I've been a little busy in London recently. I'll be available anytime after I'm done with it."
