"Good afternoon, Sir Carter!"

"And Henry, who's grown a lot taller and more handsome!"

"Hi, Xia Yu, I'm so happy to see you, welcome to my house. ”

"And master, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's really amazing......"

......

In the Howard family castle, Xia Yu carried gifts and greeted Duke Carter Howard and Henry who went out.

"Come on in!"

Duke Carter Howard said to Xia Yu kindly, and when he looked at his daughter, his eyes were full of softness.

As soon as he entered, Henry came and Li Wuming went out, and Duke Carter Howard, Xia Yu and Elena were left in the living room.

"Sir Carter, I must apologize to you first. ”

After sitting down, Xia Yu was silent for a few seconds before he said apologetically to Duke Carter Howard.

Elena on the side blinked a little ignorantly, not knowing why Xia Yu suddenly said that.

Duke Carter Howard looked at Elena, frowned slightly, then looked at Xia Yu, and said thoughtfully: "Apologize?"

Xia Yu confessed: "Yesterday I received another invitation from Jacob Rothschild, and then Elena went with me, which may cause some misunderstandings and have a certain impact on the Howard family, I'm really sorry." ”

Hearing this, Duke Carter Howard suddenly frowned, his gaze was no longer soft, and he looked at Xia Yu as sharp as a knife.

Xia Yu faced it calmly, with a hint of apology on his face.

Originally, he could not have said that Duke Carter Howard may not know, but if he has been kept in the dark, but he has been specially targeted by the Rothschild family, and has unknowingly suffered a secret loss, then Xia Yu's sin will be great, how can he be worthy of Elena?

Therefore, he felt that it was better to tell Duke Carter Howard what was going on, at least to let the latter know what was going on.

At this time, Elena reacted, seeing that her father's attitude was completely different, she knew that her father was serious, she panicked, and immediately excused Xia Yu and said: "Father, in fact, Xia Yu has always asked me not to go, but I think that I am also a member of the company, and I have the responsibility and obligation to participate in major affairs involving the company, and I am only going on my own behalf." ”

When Duke Carter Howard heard his daughter say this, he was obviously defending Xia Yu, but he felt even more uncomfortable in his heart, and he had a feeling that his cabbage was arched by a pig.

His gaze moved back and forth between Xia Yu and Elena, as if he wanted to see the relationship between the two clearly.

His actions made Elena's face redden, as if a little secret had been discovered.

This change in Elena's expression was taken into the eyes of Duke Carter Howard, and the discomfort in her heart became more and more intense.

At this time, Xia Yu said again: "Sir Carter, in fact, I agreed to go with Elena, and if there is any impact on the Howard family later, I am willing to be responsible." ”

Hearing Xia Yu's words so responsible, Carter Howard was slightly stunned, looked at Xia Yu for a long time, and saw the calmness and sincerity in Xia Yu's eyes, and his mood suddenly improved.

This kid is a man, too!

His frowning brows gradually slowed down, and he asked Xia Yu, "What happened after you met Jacob Rothschild?"

Xia Yu elaborated: "Jacob Rothschild sold me all of the Mirror Group, and at the same time sold me a part of the Coca-Cola Company, on the condition that I sell 5% of the shares of the Royal Bank of Scotland to Barclays. ”

As soon as these words came out, Duke Carter Howard's already soothing brows furrowed again, he glanced at Xia Yu deeply, and asked in a deep voice: "How much equity does Barclays Bank hold in Royal Bank of Scotland now?"

Xia Yu replied calmly: "Forty-one percent." ”

Duke Carter Howard bowed slightly, looked at his daughter, and asked Xia Yu again, "Then what do you think?"

Xia Yu knew what Duke Carter Howard meant, and the corners of his mouth hooked up and said: "I know that the Rothie family is uneasy and kind, it is nothing more than wanting to infiltrate my business, swallow me up, and take me under his command at the worst of all." ”

"But I still agreed to work with them, although it is very risky, but as long as I am careful, the rewards will be very rich, and I am confident in myself. ”

Seeing Xia Yu's self-confidence, Duke Carter Howard subconsciously wanted to say that he was a little arrogant, but after thinking about Xia Yu's legendary rise and his current career with the Howard family, he didn't know how to speak.

He suddenly realized that Xia Yu had unconsciously grown to such a point that even the Rothschild family had to calculate him, and he was indeed a peerless genius.

He couldn't help but compare the younger generation of people from the big families he had seen and heard in Britain and even Europe, and silently found that none of them were comparable to Xia Yu, and there was still a big gap.

He subconsciously looked at the blinking eyes again, his eyes were a little apprehensive and pleading, and from time to time he looked at Elena Xia Yu with some concern, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and he sighed secretly in his heart.

He is a romantic person, does not like to be bound by the world, and is an outlier among the British aristocracy, so he doesn't care much about many things for his children, especially for his daughter Elena's love, he has never interfered, but has always taught her not to fall in love with a person easily, to learn to be responsible for her own life, that's all!

Fortunately, Elena has a very quiet personality, and since she was a child, Elena has never made him sad.

But now, it's clear that Elena seems to be attracted to the stinky boy in front of her.

Although Xia Yu is a yellow race, Carter Howard doesn't care, after all, it is his daughter's choice, and he respects his daughter's choice.

He can understand the pain of being interfered with in love by his parents, just like he did before, but fortunately he has persevered, at the cost of being deprived of the family inheritance by his parents, and now inheriting the title is also fate.

Moreover, Xia Yu's strength is fully qualified to be on an equal footing with the Howard family, although he was born from the grassroots, he is a rich generation, and he is many times better than the so-called heirs of other families, and he is definitely a good match with the Howard family.

Throughout the ages, there have been very few founders of a consortium and a family, and they are definitely the elite of the times, and a person is a wealthy family!

If Xia Yu can be tied up by marriage, I believe that almost all the big families in Europe will have their arrogant heads underground and instruct the girls in the family to contact Xia Yu, which is a 100% happening, maybe the Rothschild family is fighting this idea.

As for Xia Yu seems to have a confidante, Carter Howard doesn't care, when he was young, he was much more romantic than Xia Yu, and he often didn't know which girl's house to wake up in, until he met Elena's mother, he was completely enlightened and reformed.

If Elena is really with Xia Yu, if Xia Yu hurts his baby daughter at that time, it will not be too late to decide how to intervene.

Now that neither of them has scored, he still has one eye and one eye closed.

Thinking of this, Duke Carter Howard's mentality quietly changed, and his gaze towards Xia Yu became a lot closer.

This change was immediately discovered by Xia Yu, and he was overjoyed and glanced at Elena.

I heard Duke Carter Howard remind Xia Yu: "Xia Yu, although you are very genius, but the Rothschild family is not simple, you can't be careless, after all, the Rothschild family started with a bank, and now they have infiltrated your two banks, your other banks have to be careful not to let them seize the opportunity." ”

"And in Europe, although the Rothschild family has many alliances, but most of them are Jewish families, but they have more enemies, although the area of Europe is about the same as the United States, but there are too many countries here, and there are many ancient families, and each family has a complex relationship with each other. ”

"I'll sort out the relationship between the various families in the past few days, and let Elena give it to you when the time comes, you take a closer look, so as not to be accidentally calculated. ”

Duke Carter Howard's attitude is really different, he actually took the initiative to help him, and he is still ready to uncover the most secret veil of old Europe to him, this is not a small help, although Xia Yu knows a part, but Duke Carter Howard is right, there are too many large and small families hidden in Europe, hundreds of years and thousands of years, and the relationship is too complicated.

Xia Yu immediately said gratefully: "Sir Carter, thank you!"

Duke Carter Howard calmly responded.

At this time, Xia Yu felt that it was time to put forward the purpose of this trip, he turned straight and said: "Sir Carter, I have a proposal, which is beneficial to the Howard family, to be exact, beneficial to Lloyd's Bank, if Lloyds Bank does not change, there will be big trouble." ”

Duke Carter Howard's eyes froze.

It turned out to be Lloyds Bank?

And there will be big trouble?

He is one of the first few major shareholders of Lloyds Bank, and this bank is also the core of the aristocratic alliance, and if something goes wrong, the impact will be great, and it will completely affect the whole body.

As one of the several leaders of the Noble Alliance, Carter Howard had to pay attention!

He immediately asked, "What's the trouble with Lloyds Bank?"
