"That Mr. Hall... did you know him before?"
After the Rolls-Royce Phantom started, Tamaran, who was sitting next to Barron, asked softly.
"I've only met him once, but I knew his wife... Catherine much earlier."
Facing Tamaran's concerned look, Barron said,
"She used to be my brother's fiancée."
"Ah! So that's how it is. I just thought..."
Tamaran patted his chest and said.
Her action made Barron think of a word: shaky.
"You thought she was my ex-girlfriend or something?"
Facing Barron's amused expression, Tamaran's face turned even redder, and he said embarrassedly:
"Well, so what I said just now..."
Barron knew that she was referring to the fact that she had called him "dear" in an intimate tone at the end. Her intention was to save some face for herself in front of her "ex-girlfriend who had married someone else"...
Seeing Tamaran's shy look at this time, Barron patted her hands and said:
"No matter what, I have to thank you..."
At this point, Barron had remembered his meeting with Colin Hall through his elder brother's ex-fiancee, Catherine.
It's no wonder that he has no impression of the other party. The main reason is that the meeting happened before Barron's current soul came to this world, and it belongs to the memory of his previous life.
And the process at that time was literally a "meeting"...
It was in early May last year when Barron's brother came to London with his fiancée Catherine, apparently specifically to watch an opera performance.
At that time, Barron stayed in London after graduation.
After the show, his brother invited Barron and his fiancée, Katherine, to a party.
Colin Hall was also present at the time. His brother had introduced Barron to him once, so the two had actually "met" before.
Because at that time, Barron's predecessor didn't like such social occasions, so after dealing with it for a while, he left the party and went to attend a more attractive nightclub party...
That's why he didn't have a deep impression of that meeting.
As for Barron's brother's ex-fiancee, Catherine Neville, now Mrs. Hall... Barron is relatively more familiar with her.
After all, although his predecessor rarely returned to Chatsworth House at that time, he had met Catherine several times.
What Barron didn't expect was that after his brother's death, he never cared about Catherine's news - after all, his only contact with her was from his previous life, and things happened one after another at that time, so he had no energy to care about anything else.
Unexpectedly, the next time he saw Catherine, it was also the first time he saw his good brother's former fiancée since he came to this world. She had already married and became Mrs. Hall.
Recalling Colin Hall's reaction after seeing him just now, Barron could sense the other party's hidden hostility and... provocation towards him.
Considering that the last time his predecessor saw Colin Hall was shortly before Cheap Dad and Good Brother died in a car accident, at that time, Colin Hall's identity was still a "friend" of Good Brother and his fiancée Catherine. This inevitably made Barron doubt, were Colin and Catherine really just in an ordinary relationship at that time?
You know, at the funerals of cheap dad and good brother, Catherine, as good brother's fiancée, did not show up. Her family just sent an irrelevant person to attend - Barron remembered it clearly and felt a little strange about it at the time.
And according to what Colin Hall just said, they got married in June last year...
The car accident happened on May 19th and the funeral was held at the end of the month.
And then, after the good brother died, his fiancée married his former "friend" the next month?
No matter how you look at it, this is a bit unreasonable.
In relation to Colin Hall's attitude towards him today…
Barron picked up his phone and sent a text message to Nigel Inkster, asking for information about Colin Hall and his family.
…
A convoy led by a Rolls-Royce Phantom drove into Regent's Park in West London.
Located in the heart of London, this former royal hunting forest was opened to the public in 1838.
At first, Barron wanted to send Tamaran home first, but the girl was drunk and leaned against him, saying that she didn't want her family to see her like this.
So Barron had to come here - a mansion he had recently purchased in addition to his villa in Kensington.
This mansion, located in the heart of Regent's Park, is called The Holme. It was first built in 1818 and was later rebuilt and reinforced by a well-known developer before being sold in the 1980s.
Barron bought this 4-acre mansion in the heart of Regent's Park from the previous owner for £35 million.
The main building area of the mansion is 29,000 square feet (about 2,700 square meters), consisting of two floors above ground and a basement.
The villa is in classic Regency style and has 40 bedrooms, 8 garages, a tennis court, a sauna, a library and an oversized dining room, as well as 4 acres of private parkland.
It can be said that it is adjacent to the lake and the surrounding gardens have outstanding scenery.
When choosing to buy this luxury house, Barron saw the appearance of the villa and remembered the photos of this villa he had seen in his previous life.
This mansion was also very famous at the time, because twenty years later, it was called the most expensive mansion in London. At that time, this mansion belonged to a Saudi prince and was sold for 250 million pounds, surpassing the most expensive mansion in London at that time, which a certain boss Xu had bought in Hyde Park for 210 million pounds, setting a new record.
Of course, after buying this place, Barron mainly lived in the villa in Kensington. He only came here occasionally to stay. After all, Bonnie didn't know that he bought the mansion here. This mansion was also bought in the name of an offshore company. If you check the information, you can't find it on him...
Since this is Barron's relatively private residence, Barron can be relatively "relaxed" about everything in The Holmes.
In this mansion, Barron has a 30-year-old housekeeper who is mature, charming and professionally trained.
The housekeeper's name is Sharan Feola, and she manages five maids.
You know, in a city like London that is full of aristocrats and billionaires, there are naturally all kinds of companies that specialize in serving these top classes. Whether it is food, clothing, housing, transportation or various service personnel, all needs can be solved with money.
Both Barron's housekeeper and his maids were specially "customized" through this kind of company.
For example, the five maids in his mansion, regardless of height, body shape, appearance, and even some personal circumstances... were all selected entirely according to Barron's needs.
These companies hold various beauty pageants every year in Eastern Europe, Asia, and South America. The best of them will have the opportunity to serve the super-rich and aristocrats...
Yes, in countries where it is extremely difficult for ordinary people to survive, getting such an opportunity requires fierce competition.
Therefore, in their huge database, you can choose the maids you want to hire according to your preferences, such as appearance, figure, skin color, and even hair color or pupil color.
Of course, the higher the quality, the higher the price.
If you don't find anyone you like, they can even go to certain countries and hold beauty pageants to screen for you based on your taste. Anyway, they can do anything that can be solved with money.
Of course, the contracts signed were also different. For safety reasons, Barron signed contracts with these maids directly after his intelligence team conducted background checks. From then on, they became Barron's exclusive maids during the contract period...
Even the employer's various needs can be reflected in the contract, as long as you can afford the corresponding salary.
As for these five maids, there are beauties from Eastern Europe, Asia, and South America...
Well, Barron's taste is relatively normal. He doesn't like black pearls like some rich people...
"Your Highness, do you need to dine here?"
When Barron entered the villa, the slender and graceful housekeeper, Sharon Fiora, asked respectfully.
"I've eaten. Let's ask someone to take this young lady upstairs to rest."
