Chapter 24 The lines are so familiar

After making an appointment with Bonnie to go to Chatsworth Manor together, Barron hung up the phone, and the image of her seductive long legs that day emerged in Barron's mind.

Uh, why...why do I suddenly have such a strong desire to learn?

But speaking of it, since I came to this world, I only had one encounter with Aurora...

It made sense considering that I was only 22 years old in a young body with overproduction of hormones.

Aurora?

As soon as the name appeared, Bonnie's alluring long legs were quickly replaced by the enthusiasm of her ex-girlfriend...

After all, the long night...

So Barron picked up his phone and found Aurora's number.

Until the fourth connection tone, when Barron thought that the other party was not even ready to answer his call, Aurora's voice came from the receiver:

"Barron? Is that you?"

"Yes, it's me, beautiful Aurora, are you at home?"

"yes……"

After Aurora responded, her tone suddenly turned defensive and asked:

"Why are you asking that? Barron."

"It's nothing, it's just that if you are at home, then we are very close now. Although the distance between our hearts can transcend the space barrier no matter what, I think that you are not far from me, talking to you like this. , I seem to feel that you are beside me..."

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly, Barron. By the way, I would like to congratulate you on being canonized by the Queen herself..."

"You do still care about me, Aurora."

"This is just concern as a friend. Well, even if ordinary friends can have such a thing, I will congratulate you. Barron, you know I once wanted to open up to you, but you hurt me that day, yes, I I’m very hurt, so if you don’t have anything else to do, then I’m going to sleep…”

"Wait a minute, like you said, we are at least still friends, right? And we have had such a wonderful time. In fact, thinking about everything that night, I really want to see you again, tonight... "

When Barron was talking about what happened that night, he clearly heard Aurora's voice becoming urgent on the phone...

But his next words were immediately interrupted by the other party:

"F**K! Barron, if you don't have amnesia, you should remember that I said I would never see you again."

"I thought that was just angry talk, dear."

"No, at least it's impossible until I completely treat you as a damn stranger! Barron, but I'm afraid that when that day comes, there will be no need for us to meet!"

"Well, Aurora, I thought we could at least be good friends..."

After hearing what the other party said, although he was still determined, his tone was already slightly loose. Barron managed his emotions for a while, then sighed and said:

"Not to mention what happened that night, I actually prepared a nice bottle of red wine today. You know, I have been having a very hard time recently. In addition to facing the endless sadness that always attacks me suddenly, I am also burdened with a heavy burden. Responsibility, Aurora, that night with you can be said to be the most relaxing and happiest moment I have had in a while..."

"Barron, you know I can't see you. I can't do anything wrong again..."

"Just as a friend, Aurora, or should I finish this bottle of wine alone? That will probably be a night overwhelmed by sad and negative emotions. This is too frustrating..."

…

The current bank loan principal borne by the Duke of Devonshire family totals approximately 25 million pounds, of which 15 million pounds are short-term loans that will mature before the end of this year.

The closest maturity date is a 2 million pound loan from Barclays Bank, which will mature in early August, only one and a half months ago.

At the same time, Barclays Bank is also the bank that has issued the largest number of loans to the Duke of Devonshire family. More than half of their bank loans come from Barclays Bank, and they have also mortgaged most of their assets, including Chatsworth Manor, to the other party.

There are three remaining banks on the table in front of Barron, and the lowest one also issued a loan of 2 million pounds to the Devonshire family.

After making two calls to Yulia, Barron basically clarified the loan situation borne by the family at this time.

Next, in the afternoon, he will discuss this with representatives of these banks.

After stretching, Barron put down the information that Yulia had given him yesterday and walked out of the study.

"Your Excellency, the breakfast prepared earlier has gone cold. Do you want to replace it?"

Ramos, the valet waiting in the living room, saw Barron, walked to his side, and asked softly.

"Please prepare another one."

"Okay, Your Majesty."

Seeing Ramos go over to clear the table, Barron stepped up to the second floor.

Just when he opened the bedroom door, a pillow flew towards him and was caught by Barron with quick eyes and hands...

"F**K, Barron, you bastard!"

Huh? This line sounds so familiar...

"It seems that you are awake, dear Aurora, and you seem to be in good spirits. You can wash up and go downstairs for dinner."

Seeing Aurora sitting on her knees on the bed in the bedroom, staring at him with an angry face, Barron said unhurriedly:

"And you have to admit that last night was wonderful, wasn't it? You didn't look like you do now at that time. You were..."

"Stop talking, Barron, I shouldn't believe your lies, get out! I want to get dressed!"

Barron's eyes swept across Aurora's graceful body, raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile:

"Well, honey, if you can calm down and go downstairs for breakfast..."

…

"Hello, gentlemen, even if you already know my identity, for the sake of politeness, I need to introduce myself for the first time. I am Barron Cavendish, and I am also the current Duke of Devonshire. , owner of a family trust.”

In the study, four sofas were placed opposite Barron. The four men in suits and ties were representatives from the four banks that had provided loans to the family at this time.

"Originally, I was supposed to visit you all in turn, but due to time constraints, I can only trouble you all to come here together in order to have a candid discussion about the loans that are about to expire."

At this time, Barron found out interestingly that the four gentlemen opposite him all looked at him, and in their eyes... there was a hint of worry to varying degrees.

It seems that he has been prepared. Will the young Duke in front of him say something like "We can no longer afford to repay the loan" in the next sentence...

"Okay, everyone can relax and don't be so serious. In fact, your loan will not be in any danger..."

After hearing Barron's words, one of the gentlemen who looked a bit like Prince William after thirty years of age could not help but say:

"If, as you say, our loans are not in danger and can be repaid on time, Your Highness, then just wait until they expire and then you return them. Why call us all here?"
