On the Spanish island of Mallorca, a conversation was also taking place.
Viscountess Chris put the newspaper in her hand on the table and said to Bonnie beside her:
"Have you seen the report here?"
Bonnie nodded at her cousin's words.
At this time, you can see that in this newspaper, there is a prominent photo of Barron and the Hearst sisters walking out of a restaurant...
Even though the newspaper photo was not very clear, you could tell that Amanda, who was standing next to Barron, had a very sweet expression on her face when she looked at him.
"So what do you think?"
Facing Chris's questioning, Bonnie was silent for a moment and said:
"You know our current situation... and those newspaper reports are just hearsay."
"Are you going to continue like this?"
After I asked this question, Bonnie looked out the window and remained silent...
Chris sighed and said to her cousin:
"I've told you before that no matter how beautiful a woman is, her beauty is fleeting. And for someone like Barron, beautiful women are not rare, but the easiest to get. I know that with him..."
Having said that, the Viscountess glanced across her belly, and then returned her gaze to Bonnie's face:
"I was wrong, I am sorry for you..."
"I see."
"You don't understand, Bonnie. Do you know Barron? Even if I'm not here, can you be sure that he won't have someone else? Although our family is no longer what it used to be, you should know about the affairs of the nobility. At least my situation cannot threaten your position, and I can help you eliminate other threats..."
Chris looked at her cousin and opened her heart to her.
With her current status and position, she had naturally seen many beauties, but among so many beauties, her cousin was the most outstanding.
This is also the reason why she had the confidence to introduce her to Barron in the beginning.
And things developed just as she expected. Her cousin really fascinated the young duke and became his girlfriend.
What surprised Chris the most was that the young Duke, after inheriting the family business, actually showed extraordinary abilities and had become an important figure in England.
When his cousin was with him, although his situation was much better than that of ordinary people, the Devonshire family was not outstanding among the duke's families. Compared with the current situation, it was a world of difference.
Therefore, Bonnie's relationship with Barron is stronger than those women who appear next to Barron now.
But now that her cousin, who is in such an advantageous position, has a crisis in her relationship with Barron because of her own affairs, Chris naturally does not want this situation to continue.
"Bonnie, I know how you feel about Barron, but you have to think it over and face reality. Don't do something you'll regret just because you're angry for a moment..."
…
Similarly, Barron, who was in New York, had also seen reports about himself in American gossip tabloids before - Barron and the Hearst sisters were photographed coming out of a Michelin restaurant in New York.
From the daily content of some New York gossip tabloids, we can see that the gossip about socialites like Paris even attracts more attention than some stars.
Although Amanda is not as famous as Paris and Ivanta at present - especially Paris, she has been frequently featured in gossip tabloids since she was fourteen or fifteen years old.
Amanda has always been law-abiding and does not have as much material as Paris. Although she is still in college at this time, she has already begun to step into the circle of famous New York gardens. In addition, her background in the Hearst family has also attracted the attention of many people.
Such photos actually do not have any substantial content. At most, the gossip tabloids speculate on the relationship between Barron, the young British Duke, and the Hearst sisters.
Barron didn't particularly care about this.
He could also see that Amanda had a crush on him, and she did not hide it at all.
But at this time, even though there was a temporary crisis between him and Bonnie, he was not prepared for anything to happen so soon.
If the other person is a celebrity or someone with whom he can maintain a relatively simple relationship without having to take on too much responsibility, Barron would be very willing to deepen the relationship with her.
But Amanda is different. As the heir of the Hearst family, she is not someone who can just play around...
Therefore, although Barron knew that as long as he put in a little effort, he and Amanda might be able to test their strength, he still remained restrained.
…
"You don't have to see me off, Amanda. The happiest thing about coming to New York this time is meeting you. I look forward to our next meeting."
"Me too, Barron..."
Amanda winked at Barron and a smile spread across her face:
"Maybe we'll see each other again soon."
It is almost September, and Barron has already stayed in the United States for more than half a month.
Athena Fund's staff, including Li Qing, had already gone to London before him. They would start building mathematical models for Athena Fund's quantitative trading at the DS Capital headquarters in Devonshire Financial Center.
Now, Barron also needs to leave for London. At this private airport very close to New York, under the gaze of Amanda, Barron waved to her and boarded the Gulfstream G400.
"Your Highness, this is a call from Mr. Inkster."
Before the plane took off, Wang Wanting handed the encrypted satellite phone to Barron and said to him.
…
The time goes back four hours, it was early morning in Albania.
"I really don't want to come to this damn place again."
Hearing a team member's complaint, the captain of the special operations team affiliated with the intelligence team glared at him.
However, he agreed with this statement very much.
Based on the intelligence, they have now arrested three members of "Raphael" and finally, during the interrogation, they got the news about an important member of the "London Star" gang - the main culprit who used the alias William Abagnale.
What is unexpected is that after investigation, it turns out that the main culprit of the "London Star" whose real name is Soslan Tijiyev - in fact, they are not sure whether this is his real name, but he uses this name in the "Raphael" organization - has been hiding in Albania.
Speaking of Albania, I am afraid that the first thing that comes to many people's minds is the notorious "Albanian gang".
After the dramatic changes in Eastern Europe, the people of Albania were deprived of their property due to a large number of Ponzi schemes by so-called "financial companies".
Coupled with political instability and serious corruption, Albania, which once stockpiled large amounts of arms because it offended both the United States and the former Soviet Union, saw its former armed forces lose faith and, in order to survive, degenerate into the later "Albanian gangs", making this place and its surrounding areas a disaster area for drug and human trafficking.
Even now, in Dinaya, the capital of Albania, there is chaos and power and water outages are common. No wonder the special operations team member just complained.
