Chapter 114: Anger and Calm
Because Charles had come up with a good idea for his problem, Baron de Beauvang seemed to be in a good mood, and his already smiling face couldn't help but be a little more amiable, and he kept chatting with Charles.
Although Charles wanted to say goodbye, he couldn't do it because of etiquette, so he had to deal with the big banker without a match.
After a few cups of coffee, he felt that the time was almost up, so he finally decided to say goodbye to him. However, just as he was about to speak, the baron, as if suddenly remembering something, asked Charles again.
"By the way, Charles, I heard that you're going to have a ball with Mademoiselle de Treville lately, and announce your marriage by the way?"
How does it seem like everyone knows about this now? Charles couldn't help but be stunned, but quickly nodded in approval. "That's true...... After all, there is nothing else to do now, so let's just have fun. ”
"That's right, you've been a rare free time lately." The baron smiled and nodded, "I heard that you've invited a lot of people lately?" ”
"Yes."
"Oh, that's really enviable, and it must be a place full of vitality when young people come together." The baron said meaningfully.
Charles was a little confused at first, but quickly reacted - the baron did not want to go by himself, but to his own children.
Well, yes, although the family has hundreds of millions, the Baron's family is not particularly respectable in the upper class society that pays attention to the outdated creed of bloodline. The Baron may not care if he is considered a member of high society. But of course his children would not like it, and if he was invited to the house of a famous family like the Duke of Treville, it would certainly make a big difference in the perception of others.
Come to think of it. Charles couldn't help but drift his gaze slightly to Lola, who had been standing behind the baron, but she was still expressionless.
Anyway, it's not a big deal, so many people have already been invited, even if you invite two more, it's nothing.
Charlotte certainly wouldn't like the de Beauvang siblings, but at least she could hide her disgust and entertain her guests warmly - a must for high society.
Come to think of it. Charles didn't think much about it anymore, and directly agreed to the other party.
"I only remembered when you said this, I haven't invited two young people from your mansion yet. I wonder if they have had time to enjoy the light recently? ”
"Where are you?" Seeing Charles like this, Baron de Beauvoin also smiled and nodded, "Could it be that the surname Beauwang would actually refuse an invitation from Tréville?" Then he looked back at Lola. Is that right? Lola? ”
"Yes. Father, I am glad to have the opportunity to visit the Duke's Palace in Treville. Without thinking, Lola gave her father a satisfactory answer.
"Well, I'm looking forward to seeing you two back, and the invitations will be delivered when I get back." Charles smiled and nodded at Lola, and then said politely, "Miss de Beauwon, if I may, I'd like to dance with you again." ”
Speaking of which. Although they have been working together for so long, it seems that the de Beauvoin family has never been invited to their home by the Duke of Treville's family?
What a stubborn family. Although he pretends to be open-minded, his heart is still in the old days. It's no wonder that Charlotte can be raised with such a character...... Charles smiled bitterly and sighed inwardly.
Then, putting aside such distractions, he stood up and took his farewell to Baron de Beauwon.
The baron also stood up with a smile, and watched the young man leave his study.
He sat down again when Charles had left and the door was closed again, the smile on his face gone.
He slowly poured himself another cup of coffee.
"What a nice young man, with a brain, and in no way influenced by any stereotypes...... What the Duke of Trevill had insisted on for more than ten years, he threw it away without a second of hesitation! ”
"Is he really not as arrogant as his relatives?"
"Why don't you do it? Hehe...... He is so much more arrogant than they are! The banker smiled coldly, "Contempt is left in the bottom of my heart, not by all kinds of external expressions, this kid is very arrogant, I dare say that there are not many people in the world who are put in his eyes." ”
"Really?" Lola was a little surprised. "And what does he think of us?"
"He had a lot of respect for me, a real respect, but he wasn't afraid. As for you...... That's hard to say. The baron slowly drank another cup of coffee, "So, this guy does look a lot like me when I was younger." ”
"Is that so......" Lola frowned slightly.
"Lola, sit down." The baron pointed to the seat where Charles had just sat and motioned for his daughter to sit down.
Lola sat down obediently.
"You can go over and have fun this time, after all, it's a rare opportunity." As soon as his daughter sat down, the baron gave the order, "Maurice, you also give me a good look, don't let him do anything that will disgrace me, it is very important for me to have a good relationship with the Tréville family now." ”
"In that case, why don't you just let my brother go?" Lola asked rhetorically.
"He's always going to inherit my business, and there's no harm in getting to know more people now." The baron took another sip of his coffee, "Besides, I've been putting so much on him lately, so it's better to find a chance to let him relax." ”
As soon as she heard the phrase "he is always going to inherit my business", Lola lowered her gaze slightly.
No matter how hard he tries, the family business will be inherited by his brother after all, and his father has never cared so much about himself.
It took her a second for the anger that had suddenly ignited in her heart to dissipate.
"Okay, I got it, Dad." She replied calmly.
"By the way, after going there, you also patronize and play, and by the way, meet his sister, and make a good relationship with his sister - weren't you once classmates who studied painting? It shouldn't be that hard to do that. The baron suddenly said, "Although it is of little significance now, we have to look at the long-term ...... After all, Mademoiselle de Treville had been given a seat on the board of directors by her brother, and although I am not going to do anything now, it is always right to have a good relationship now, and maybe she will be able to help us in some unexpected way in the future......"
"Okay, Dad." Lola answered again.
Although there was no expression on her face, she had a slight expectation in her heart.
If, as she had suspected, Mademoiselle de Treville was secretly in love with her brother, what kind of mood would she have felt when her brother was about to announce his marriage in public?
Is...... It's so miserable that it's exciting, it's so funny. Lola couldn't help but sneer in her heart.
"Also, Lola, you can keep an eye out there when you get there, and see if there's anything for your young man...... You're not very young anymore, and you should pay attention to this kind of thing......" Just as she was still immersed in this thought, her father's voice pulled her back to reality again, "If there is a person you like, just tell me, no matter who it is, Daddy believes in your vision, and Daddy will not have any ridiculous opinions...... I will give you a dowry, rest assured, my daughter, I have always been very open-minded in this regard. Speaking of which, Morris is not small, and it is time to take care of it, and you can also help me pay attention to it and see if there are any suitable candidates. ”
As he spoke, the baron's tone was unexpectedly soft, evidently full of love for his children. However, his words, more than anything else, can cool Lola's enthusiasm just now, and also cool Lola's heart.
As if she had been poured over her face by a basin of cold water, Lola only felt chills all over her body at that moment, and even trembled slightly involuntarily.
Will it come after all? My father wanted to marry him off, and then he would lose the surname De-Beauwang forever, and at the same time, he would forever lose the opportunity to inherit his father's huge family business.
Do you want to send me away with a few million dollars? And then let the incompetent waste of Morris carry on a cause he is not qualified to inherit? Why can't I? Is it just because I'm a woman?!
Her head and chest seemed to be roaring at the same time.
But she soon regained her calm, and although she didn't know how much perseverance it took, she finally regained her calm.
"Okay, Dad, I'll take care of it."
"Well, then you can go and get some rest." The baron waved his hand, indicating that he had other business to attend to.
Lola stood up softly, then walked all the way out, straight to her bedroom.
Her already expressionless face was now even more clouded, and her pale complexion was full of anger, so that the servants who passed by along the way only dared to bow their heads and move forward, and they didn't even dare to come out.
She didn't look at the bugs, and thought about them all the way.
Dad was right, I'm almost getting old, and so is Morris, and he's going to worry about our marriage after all.
In other words, if my brother had to die, it would be time now.
Otherwise, if you don't die all the time, it will be troublesome to wait until you get married and leave children, and then you will have to waste energy to kill one more.
She thought calmly.
Her hand was clenched tightly.
What is the way to get my brother on the path he must take? (To be continued......)
