"Stop, Catherine!"
At this moment, Colin Hall's voice sounded...
Barron looked in the direction of the sound and saw Colin Hall walking out of a nearby door with a pistol in his hand, with the muzzle of the gun pointed at Barron himself.
"Wow, Mr. Hall, you finally showed up. Now tonight is getting a little interesting. But you don't seem to be treating guests like a guest right now..."
"Colin! What are you doing?"
What surprised Barron was that when Catherine saw Colin Hall holding a pistol, she was also surprised. She looked at him and asked.
"Catherine, let him drink that drink!"
The gun in Colin's hand was pointed at Barron. After he said this to Catherine, who was in doubt, the woman subconsciously handed the wine glass in her hand to Barron.
Barron took the wine glass and gently shook the wine in the glass. He looked at Colin without any fear on his face. Instead, he said mockingly,
"Mr. Hall, as a gentleman, you shouldn't use knives or guns. Do you know what the consequences of doing so are? This is definitely not something your Hall family can bear. Once the gunshots are heard, the entire manor will be surrounded. Is it really time for you to fight so hard?"
"I didn't want this to happen, Barron. I only needed to slowly lay out the plan, but you were so bold that you risked everything to acquire the Gucci Group. This made them see the opportunity and think it was the right time..."
"Are you talking about the Rothschild family? I didn't expect them to make you work so hard..."
"This is also an opportunity for me. You may have doubted it, but Barron, I can tell you that the deaths of your father and brother have nothing to do with me. At the same time, I admit that is what I hope to see. Now, it's your turn."
Catherine looked at Colin Hall, who was holding a gun, nervously. She couldn't help but say,
"Are you crazy?! Colin, you can't hide it by doing this. That's not what you told me..."
"Shut up, everything has been arranged, Catherine, there will be no consequences!"
He pointed the gun at Barron and said,
"Drink that glass of wine, if you don't want to die now..."
"This drink looks good, but Mr. Hall, you'd better look behind you first."
Seeing that Barron showed no fear at all and even had a somewhat mocking expression, Colin Hall's first reaction after he said this was that the other party was trying to distract him, but then he saw the expression on his wife's face... She looked behind him and couldn't help but open her mouth in surprise...
Colin Hall had just turned his head less than 90 degrees when he felt a cold hard object pressing against the back of his head. It was clearly the muzzle of a pistol.
"Mr. Hall, please put down the gun. Be careful not to move too much, otherwise I might not be able to resist pulling the trigger..."
A gentle voice sounded from behind Colin Hall, and when Colin Hall turned to look at Barron, he saw that he had dodged away from his gun and pulled his wife Catherine in front of him...
"If you hesitate any longer, I will shoot, Mr. Hall..."
It was Mikhail who appeared behind Colin Hall. He said softly,
"According to the current situation, you threatened His Royal Highness the Duke with a gun, and then I shot in self-defense. I'm afraid this is not a good thing for you..."
With a clang, the gun in Colin Hall's hand fell to the ground...
"Your Highness, I'll tell you everything..."
Before Colin Hall could finish his words, Mikhail had already covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief. Then, he lost consciousness and fell to the ground...
"Barron, what are you...what are you going to do?"
Hearing Catherine's anxious voice, Barron let her go, sat leisurely on the sofa, and said:
"What's interesting is, Catherine, you should have discovered that the development of things before this was very different from what you thought..."
"but..."
"Aren't you curious about what will happen next according to your husband, Colin Hall's plan?"
"You, how do you know?"
From Catherine's point of view, it seemed that Barron had already anticipated what they would do. No, even Colin Hall's plan, which she didn't know, was also within his expectations...
This made Catherine feel a little scared...
"Also, I want to know, where is Miss Ella?"
Hearing Barron's words, Catherine's eyes widened, and she felt that all the strength in her body was almost instantly drained away...
…
Under Catherine's guidance, Barron saw Gabriel lying quietly on the bed in the bedroom on the second floor of the villa. She must have taken sleeping pills or sedatives.
"According to Colin's original plan with you, I'm afraid you wanted me to have something happen with Miss Ella after I fell unconscious..."
Barron looked at Catherine beside him and said,
"Well, being in a coma won't do anything, so I'm afraid there will be drugs similar to psychedelics, right? Then kill me. As long as it is another scene and it involves members of the royal family, the Queen will definitely intervene. In order to maintain the image of the royal family, Scotland Yard will definitely not investigate in detail. As long as it is acceptable, the case will be hastily closed. Even if there are some doubts, the royal family will help cover it up. At most, they will figure out the reasons privately..."
"No, we didn't mean to... kill you. Colin wanted to get evidence against you and Ella so that you wouldn't take revenge on him..."
"You believe that?"
Under Barron's gaze, Catherine turned her head and said,
"I really didn't expect that he would want to murder you. If that were the case, I would never..."
"There are many things you can't imagine..."
Barron said sarcastically,
"He even told you that at some point, he would ask you to help me do something to Miss Ella... right?"
"You, how do you know?"
Catherine blurted out, then turned pale and looked at Barron in horror.
"I told you I didn't want you to be against me, Katherine."
Barron patted Catherine's shoulder gently and said,
"But now I am disappointed."
He placed his hand on the woman's shoulder, then brushed the hair by her ear and gently pinched her earlobe...
"Barron, don't..."
Seeing the woman's face turn red, Barron pressed her shoulders with both hands, causing her to lower herself and kneel on the carpet...
"That's what you were going to do, wasn't it? Help me... you know..."
Catherine looked up at what was in front of her...
"You don't want Miss Ella to know these things, ma'am, and your husband..."
After hearing Barron's words, Catherine finally accepted her fate and closed her eyes...
…
When Barron walked downstairs with Catherine in high spirits, he saw Mikhail who was "taking care" of Colin Hall, and the other party couldn't help but whistled at him.
This made Catherine feel even more ashamed.
"I know there's a car in the backyard with a driver. You were supposed to take me 'home', Catherine..."
Now, Catherine was no longer so surprised that Barron knew about their plans. She heard Barron say:
"Now let him accompany you to take Mr. Hall to the car..."
"What are you doing? Barron, didn't you just..."
As soon as Catherine said this, Barron grabbed her hair and said to her coldly:
"Just now? It's just interest, Catherine. You have no idea what Colin is going to do to you... I'm only telling you that you can either just send him to the car or leave with him. But no matter which choice you make, you will know how Colin originally arranged you. It's just that one of the choices may make you regret it..."
