Chapter 342 - Chapter 342: Appointment

"The results of the inquiry into the Global Industrial Investment Fund are already out..."

  Finn Hudson, CEO of GII Fund, told Barron's in person:

  "We submitted the GII Fund's investment agreement to the UK Competition and Market Authority (CMA) again, indicating that the Middle East sovereign investment fund only belongs to some of the investors and will not be involved in the management of the companies we acquire, nor will it obtain any private data. The other party also agreed with our statement..."

  The review of the GII Fund is also the simplest, because from the establishment of the GII Fund, its relevant agreements have already distinguished the rights and obligations of investors and managers. In addition, in actual operations, no personnel from investors will participate in the GII Fund. They will only have supervisory rights over the finances of the entire fund.

  "I will arrange an interview for you this afternoon, and these reports will appear in tomorrow's newspapers and tomorrow morning's SDTV news program."

  Tomorrow is Monday, and a new week's stock market will begin again. Therefore, releasing such reports before the stock market opens will also boost the share price of Summit Media.

  I just don't know what choice those Jews will make at that time.

  In addition, the Financial Services Authority (FSA) of the United Kingdom also needs to exert some pressure. Baron does not want them to delay the review of Standard Chartered Bank and DS Capital.

  …

  Market confidence was boosted on Monday following news that CMA officials had concluded their review of GII Fund and found no irregularities in its acquisition of the London Stock Exchange.

  Although there is no direct relationship between the GII Fund and Summit Media, they are both industries under DS Capital, which has also boosted the stock price of Summit Media.

  After the market opened, the sell orders that had been weighing on the market last week did not reappear. The share price of Summit Media jumped directly from the closing price of 20 pounds last week to open at 21.45 pounds!

  "Mr. Rothschild, the share price of Summit Media is continuing to rise. Next, we will..."

  Last week, NM Rothschild Bank had sold all of its Summit Media shares at 20 pounds. Now if it wants to continue to push down the share price, it can only short-sell by borrowing the shares...

  Benjamin Rothschild said expressionlessly:

  "Don't worry today, let's see what happens first."

  Just after losing the biggest selling pressure, Summit Media's share price rose slowly, reaching an intraday high of 22.36 pounds, and finally closed at 21.97 pounds, an increase of nearly 10% compared to last Friday's closing price!

  What satisfied Barron the most was that they barely even used their own funds to boost the stock price that day...

  After all, at this time, he didn't want to be targeted by the FSA for manipulating stock prices again.

  "Have you checked with Miss Ella?"

  "Yes, Your Highness, she was picked up by Mrs. Hall today..."

  Taking the earphones handed over by Mikhail, Barron looked at him and said,

  "I hope everything goes well today..."

  "It will go well, Your Highness."

  Barron hoped so, but he didn't say it out loud. However, Mikhail also understood that if anything went wrong today, not only him, but also Dylan Ozdemi in Dream Island would not see tomorrow's sun again.

  …

  "Where's Mr. Hall, ma'am?"

  "It's not convenient for him to come over, so I need to tell you... the whole story."

  Barron met Catherine Hall not at their home, but at a villa on the outskirts of London.

  Catherine called him personally and asked to meet him to talk to him about the incident between the Rothschild family and Colin Hall.

  Of course, at such a time, Barron could choose not to take any risks. After all, he knew that when it was difficult to defeat him financially, the other party would have a more direct choice, which was to destroy him physically.

  As for Colin Hall, or the Rothschild family behind him, how are they going to proceed and remove them respectively?

  It can be said that if it weren't for the intelligence team led by Mikhail, which had given Barron the confidence, he would have chosen to stay alive until the Rothschild family gave up.

  But now, he has another choice.

  "Oh? I'd like to hear more about it."

  The windows of the villa were all covered with curtains, and the fire from the fireplace and the lights inside the house were all in warm tones, which made it easy for people to let down their guard.

  Catherine Hall, who sat opposite Barron today, wore a slightly "thin" dress, which was different from the conservative dress she wore before, but it did not prevent her from showing off her deep "cleavage" at all...

  "This bottle of red wine comes from Chateau Lafite. It has been awake for an hour. It is a good time to taste it..."  

  Catherine Hall did not speak immediately. She poured the scarlet wine from the decanter on the table into two wine glasses.

  Looking at Barron, the woman said,

  "Will you have a drink with me first?"

  Barron glanced at the wine glass she handed over, but did not reach out to take it. Instead, he said:

  "I'm curious, is it me or your husband, Colin Hall, you want to see today?"

  "What if it was me?"

  "This kind of atmosphere is very dangerous..."

  "Are you scared?"

  Listening to Catherine's words, Barron shook his head:

  "Aren't you afraid?"

  "Don't be afraid!"

  With a meaningful smile, Barron patted the sofa beside him and said provocatively:

  "Then why are you sitting opposite me? You look like my...rival."

  "But are you going to let me hold my glass like this forever?"

  Barron looked at Catherine again and took the wine glass from her...

  But at the same time, his other hand had already grabbed her wrist...

  While putting the wine glass on the table, Barron exerted a little force and brought Catherine into his arms.

  "you..."

  Before she could even say anything, Barron had already kissed her lips, but Catherine kept her mouth shut and didn't let him succeed...

  "Colin didn't show up today, but asked you to come see me. Do you want to feed this piece of meat into my mouth?"

  "Barron, you..."

  "Are you trying to tell me that you were my brother's fiancée? Sorry, that would only excite me more. After all, you are now Mrs. Hall..."

  After Catherine broke free from him, Barron lifted her chin with his hand, looked at her slightly messy appearance, and said lightly:

  "Perhaps I should have been more patient, Mrs. Hall, and watched you perform a little longer, but I'm sorry, I just don't have that much grace."

  As he spoke, he stood up and picked up the wine glass that Mrs. Hall had left for him on the table. He then took a sip of the red wine and stared at Catherine:

  "I'm drinking with you, huh? Then drink this glass..."

  Seeing Barron's actions, Catherine's eyes flashed with suspicion...

  "Why don't you drink anymore, ma'am?"

  Under Barron's gaze, Catherine reached out and picked up the wine glass that she had originally handed to Barron. Her hand trembled slightly, and she almost spilled the wine...

  Barron clinked his glass with hers and just looked at her like a hunter looking at his prey.

  "If that's the case, today is too boring. I'm going back..."

  Just as Barron was about to get up and leave...

  "I drink…"

  Catherine slowly brought the glass close to her lips...
