Chapter 341 Misunderstanding?
"Long time no see, Miss Ella."
"Yes, Your Highness the Duke."
What Barron did not expect was that at this gathering of the Virgin family, he would meet Gabrielle, the daughter of the Duke of Kent. The two of them had not seen each other for a long time, especially after Barron got his girlfriend Bonnie. The last time she made an intentional show of kindness, but Barron didn't respond - it wasn't that Barron was unfeeling, or that he was so dedicated, it was just that Gabriel's royal background was not suitable for Barron to have too much contact with her. deep” relationship.
Considering that the Virgin family has always maintained a special relationship with the royal family, it is not too strange to meet her here.
"I feel like you are getting more and more beautiful, Miss Ella. You have graduated now, right?"
"Yes, I just graduated this year and am now doing some design work."
Of course, the encounter with Gabriel was just a small episode. Although Barron could still feel some special meaning from the other person's eyes, it was just like his original choice - even though he was in love with Bonnie. Gabriel's background is more "noble" than that of Gabriel, but in terms of appearance and figure, Gabriel can be regarded as a beauty among ordinary people, but Bonnie is much better.
In fact, Barron's identity does not attach much importance to the so-called "noble birth". He does not need to rely on this to add embellishment, but it will become an obstacle for him in some aspects. In comparison, Bon Ni is more suitable for him.
"It's a pleasure to have you here, Your Highness."
"I missed it last time, and I definitely can't miss this opportunity again..."
After Barron escaped from Gabriel, he met the organizer of the party, Richard Branson, the founder of the Virgin Group, who also seemed extremely enthusiastic.
"I know you've been in a little trouble recently, but it's definitely not harmful to you. But if I can help you, you can ask for anything you need..."
After lighting the cigar, Branson said sincerely with his signature smile.
As the youngest Duke of England, people like Branson naturally know some of the troubles Barron has encountered recently.
After Summit Media's stock price was held up by the "invisible big hand" and fixed at 20 pounds, it can be said that the current situation has undergone subtle changes.
Even though the investigation into DS Capital and Standard Chartered Bank is still ongoing, it can be clearly seen that Barron has gradually felt more "friendship" than before.
You know, Virgin Group also has Virgin Bank, so the meaning of Branson’s words is self-evident.
Regardless of whether he was sincere or polite, it was impossible for Barron to really ask for any help:
"Thank you very much, Sir Branson, but like you said, these are minor issues."
"Haha, I knew it. Then enjoy today's party, Your Highness, there are many beauties today."
Branson winked at Barron and said.
Indeed, as he said, Branson's party was not just limited to upper-class celebrities, but also invited many celebrities to participate, and there were indeed many beauties.
But the beauty Barron noticed later was not a celebrity...
"Mrs. Hall, I didn't expect you to appear here..."
Seeing Catherine sitting next to some noble ladies, including Gabriel, Barron looked around and said to her:
"Why haven't you seen Mr. Hall?"
"He's had a cold recently, so he didn't come over today."
Frankly speaking, if it weren't for her predecessor brother and the entanglements with Catherine, it seems that she is indeed an elegant, gentle, and very temperamental lady.
But the existence of those entanglements made Barron wonder what unknown things were hidden behind her gentle appearance at this time.
"Your Highness the Duke..."
Just when Barron turned to leave, Catherine called him softly.
"What, Mrs. Hall?"
"Let's go over there. Actually, I have always wanted to say something to you."
Seeing Catherine motioning towards the quieter corner on the second floor, Barron followed her and walked upstairs after she got up.
I have to say that although the style of Catherine's dress today looks quite "conservative", the cut of the dress fits her very well.
Just like now, when she was going upstairs, Barron was walking behind her, and when he looked up, he could see the breathtaking curves, which were very eye-catching.
"I don't know what you want to say? Mrs. Hall."
When Catherine stood in front of a floor-to-ceiling window, Barron also stopped beside her, put his hands in his pockets, looked at her profile, and asked lightly.
"It's about James and I. Yes, I broke our engagement at the beginning, and later..."
Catherine glanced at Barron, then stretched out her hand to open the curtains a crack, looked out the window, and said:
"Later I married Colin, but it was not what you thought. There was another hidden secret..."
James Cavendish, Barron's good brother, heard Catherine mention him again, Barron asked casually:
"What do you think I'm thinking?"
"You'd think it was me..."
Taking a deep breath, Catherine was silent for a moment and said:
"Maybe you think I'm sorry for James, but even if he is in front of me, I can still talk about what happened between us before. I...maybe I owe him something emotionally, but before that, I definitely Nothing was done to harm him.”
"It's meaningless to say this now, isn't it?"
When Catherine heard Barron's words, she met his gaze and said softly:
"But I don't want you to get the wrong idea."
"Actually, Mrs. Hall, I am not interested in your story about my brother, and I have no childish idea of venting for him. Just like the Devonshire family, my eyes It will only be placed in the future..."
Barron took a step forward, approached Catherine's face, and said softly:
"If you are not on the opposite side of me in the future, there is no need to worry so much."
"Barron...you..."
He saw her take a step back and lean against the wall.
Barron showed a smile on his face and turned to leave:
"Besides, Mrs. Hall, I like the violet smell of Dior perfume on you."
…
"Barron, are you ready to leave?"
When Barron returned downstairs, he met Gabrielle again. When he heard her question, Barron nodded and said:
"Yes, Miss Ella, I have something else to do..."
"oh……"
"correct……"
Initially, Gabriel looked at Barron's back with a look of loss on his face. After hearing his words, a look flashed in his eyes:
"What, Barron?"
"I see that you and Mrs. Catherine Hall seem to be having a lively conversation."
"Mrs. Hall? We have known each other for a while and are relatively good friends. She also has some unique views on design..."
Gabriel replied like this, but he didn't know what he thought of, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"That's right. So it became popular after you returned to London after graduation."
"We have met more often in the past month. What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I have a lot of business dealings with her husband, Mr. Hall, so I just asked. I'm leaving first, Miss Ella."
