An exquisite carriage drove into Queens and entered the Hall family villa. Audrey Hall, wearing an exquisitely tailored long dress, got out of the carriage, followed by her personal maid Anne Lin.
Dad is not at home?
Audrey saw that there were several missing carriages in the stables not far away, and her green eyes flashed with surprise. Today was Sunday, so both her parents and Hibbert's schedules were empty.
Moreover, before he left, his father promised him that he would see the dress designed by Mrs. Genia for him, and that the family would go to St. Samuel's Cathedral together in the evening.
Returning to the villa with Anne, after learning that her father, Earl Hall, brother Hibbert, and her mother were not at home, Audrey found an excuse to go back to her room to rest, and the golden retriever Su, who received her signal,
Akane also followed.
"Susie, Miss is very tired today. She needs to rest. Don't go there."
Anne, the personal maid, blocked the door and stopped the golden retriever. Susie lay on the ground aggrievedly, her black and white eyes blinking.
I actually forgot to give Anne a "psychological suggestion". Alas, getting along with Rebel, who is also a "hypnotist", consumes too much energy... Audrey sighed invisibly:
"Let it in, Anne."
After giving Anne a "psychological hint", Susie walked into the room with small steps, lay down next to the bed, her mouth pressed to the floor, as if she would not disturb the master's rest, and the maid closed the door with satisfaction.
.
Audrey first went to the cloakroom attached to the bedroom and changed into a set of home clothes. Originally, she would change directly in the bedroom, but Susie has been promoted all the way and is now a Sequence 7 "Psychiatrist", so she has already changed it.
As a friend on his extraordinary journey, he calls each other "her".
"What happened today?"
Because Audrey went out this time to meet Rebel from the Psychological Alchemy Society, she did not take Susie with her. Normally in this case, she would ask Susie to pay attention to her home, and no one would pay attention to a golden retriever.
"I don't know the specifics. The butler of Baron Sindelas visited the earl and said that Baron Sindelas was in crisis. After that, the earl, countess, and Hibbert left the villa one after another."
Susie raised her head and opened her mouth to shake the air.
Baron Sindelas? Audrey frowned. She was no stranger to this banker and multi-millionaire who often appeared in newspapers. He just received a knighthood last year and spent at least one million gold on it.
He is a business partner with his father.
However, he relied on the Conservative Party to obtain the title of baronet, but after obtaining the title, he was still willing to provide certain help to the new party. Originally, Duke Pallas Negan did not care about this, but after his assassination, Philip, who inherited the title, had a relationship with him.
There were many conflicts and the relationship almost broke down in January.
After that, Baron Sindelas became more closely associated with the New Party and almost gave up on the Conservative Party completely.
Originally, Audrey didn't pay much attention to these things, but due to the influence of Duke Negan's assassination and Mr. "Emperor", she knew that political problems would not necessarily be solved through political means. And through the experience during this period, she soon became aware of it.
Some judgments:
It’s about the election!
With Delina's marriage ending, the general election will become the most important thing in the Loen Kingdom in the next month or so. Especially a multi-millionaire like Baron Sindras who has connections to both parties, it is easy to become
Target.
Audrey even vaguely wondered whether this might be related to the organization that cannot be named, or to the Psychological Alchemy Society. Rebel next to Prince Govington, Duchess Negan's sister, plus herself,
There are almost people in both political parties and the royal family who are members of the Psychological Alchemist Society.
Even a Sequence 9 "audience" can guide ordinary nobles who are protected by extraordinary people. Especially for people close to big shots like Audrey, it is even more difficult to guard against them.
With people like Audrey as its members, no curly-haired baboon would believe it if the Psychological Alchemy Society had no ideas.
The sun finally appeared at dusk, dyeing the thick clouds with color. When it was about to fall below the ground, Audrey, who had seen the carriages returning one after another ten minutes ago, pretended to have just woken up and walked out of the bedroom.
She walked up the stairs to the living room, only to find her mother sitting on the sofa looking slightly tired, with her maid rubbing her back behind her.
"Mom, what happened? Dad and brother haven't come back yet."
After seeing Audrey, Countess Caitlin first forced a smile, and then patted her maid's hand. The latter lowered her head and left the living room, taking away all the servants, leaving only Caitlin, mother and daughter, and
A large golden retriever dog lying on the carpet.
"Your father and brother are in the study. There is a small problem with Baron Sindras. They need to discuss it."
Caitlin was a little hesitant at first, but thinking that her daughter was already an adult, she continued:
"You know he only received the title last year, right?"
"Well, what's the problem?"
Audrey was a little confused. This was something everyone in the upper echelons of Backlund knew. Even Baron Sindras had estimated how much money he had spent, at least one million pounds.
Then she walked over to Caitlin and sat down next to her. She glanced at Susie who was lying on the carpet. The latter shook her head and left the living room wagging her big tail.
"At noon today, a news came out from Hillston District that Baron Sindelas paid too much to obtain the title and may have misappropriated the cash reserves of the South Wales Bank."
After hearing this, Audrey immediately shook her head and said:
"How is this possible? Baron Sindras's net worth is tens of millions of gold pounds, but didn't it cost just over one million to obtain the title of baronet?"
Although net worth is not the same as the cash that can be used, it will never allow Baron Sindelas to misappropriate the bank's cash reserves. He can use the fixed assets he owns to obtain low-interest loans from his own bank. This is for a bank
There is no problem at all for everyone, there is no need to take such risks.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Caitlin held Audrey's hand and sighed:
"The person who started the rumor also gave a number of reasons. The impact on the Rorsted route from November last year to early February this year made it impossible to recover a loan from South Wales Bank to Loon United Coffee Company, which has been delayed until now.
And there is the possibility of interruption of sea routes, so this loan may be delayed, making it impossible to turn over funds."
Audrey, who has studied finance and economics, knows very well that once this news spreads, it will have a chain reaction. If it encounters a run and a credit crisis, bankruptcy will be the final result for South Wales Bank.
"What about Baron Syndras? Is there nothing he can do? I remember a similar situation happened at the South Wales Bank."
As soon as she finished speaking, Audrey felt a shiver in her heart. Yes, this is not the first credibility crisis that South Wales Bank has faced. Although it got over it last time, how much trust do depositors and businessmen have in it now?
"Here's the problem. Before this news spread, Baron Sindras was summoned at Silveras Field for allegedly instructing others to kidnap and kill, and your father was released on bail."
"Shall we summon Baron Syndras at Silveras Field?"
Audrey couldn't believe her ears. As a new nobleman and a member of the House of Lords, Baron Sindras was qualified to do this, but it was almost useless. As long as a noble friend came forward to vouch for it.
, you can easily bail him out.
This is to prevent Baron Syndras from coming forward to explain the rumor? But can this have any effect in such a short time?
"Severas Field has the evidence?"
"Yes, at first your father's request for bail to Baron Sindras was rejected. Director Royce of Silveras Field personally responded to the request. If Congressman Macht hadn't come over and pointed out that there was a problem with the evidence, I'm afraid that
Baron de Las Vegas will spend the evening at Silveras Field.
Even now, Baron Sindelas is required to stay at home temporarily and wait for the police to eliminate his suspicion before being allowed to move freely."
“There’s something wrong with Silveras Field’s approach!”
Restricting a baron's personal freedom when the evidence has pointed out that there are problems requires a certain amount of determination on the part of Silveras Field.
Caitlin patted her daughter's hand happily:
"Well, on the way back, your father initially concluded that the Conservative Party may be preparing for the general election and intends to use his relationship with Baron Syndras to launch an attack on the new party."
Silveras Field leans towards the Conservative Party in terms of political stance and the Church of Storms in terms of belief. If someone from the Conservative Party made a gesture today, it would be understandable.
Next, Audrey wanted to continue questioning, but Caitlin mainly went to appease Baron Sindras's family today, and she still didn't know the specific situation. She only learned a little about the situation from Earl Hall and Hibbert on the way back.
However, Audrey still got a name, Dawn Dantès.
This name was not unfamiliar to her. She had met this gentleman at Principal Portland Mormont's banquet. He was a businessman who had just come from Duxi County and lived on the same street as Portland and Macht.
After Caitlin went to rest, Audrey also returned to her bedroom, waiting for Susie's report. However, Susie went too late and didn't hear anything useful. His father used this incident to let his brother Hibbert
Analysis, but according to the analysis of the golden retriever, Earl Hall was not satisfied with the analysis results given by his eldest son.
…
Queens, a luxurious villa no less than the Hall family, is the residence of the newly promoted Baron Sindras last year. As an area with the highest concentration of nobles, the security here is naturally quite tight. In addition to the nobles' own personal bodyguards
In addition, there are police patrols.
However, I am afraid that no one living here will enjoy the treatment of Baron Sindras. There are four policemen on duty outside his villa.
Night fell, but the lights in the villa were still bright. Baron Hindras's family did not have any sleep. Today's experience had never happened even when the South Wales bank went bankrupt. They were already panicking in their hearts. Countess Hall
I personally comforted them, but it didn't have much effect.
After Baron Syndras returned with the four policemen, he ignored his family and went directly back to the study. However, if they saw the scene in the study, they might not believe that their eyes were normal.
The person sitting on the sofa in the study is not the owner of the villa, Baron Sindras, but a middle-aged and elderly man who arrived at an unknown time. His face has an obvious old look, but the wrinkles are not obvious, and his skin is even a little moist.
His hair is a little gray and his back is slightly curved.
He is the economic adviser to Baron Sindras, North McGrath, and is also a senior associate professor of the Economics and Trade Department of Backlund University. Although he is slightly famous in the industry, more people think that he is relying on Sindelas.
The Baron is famous for his name. He belongs to the kind of scholar who has deep research, poor actual combat, and even occasionally makes mistakes.
But now his pair of dark brown eyes, which seemed to be always confused, were like a pair of magic mirrors that could reflect people's hearts. The dim light of the gas lamp also disappeared in them. His chapped lips moved, and his voice was sometimes hoarse and sometimes sharp:
"The Conservative Party is actually more ruthless than us. It abandoned you right away and now uses you to attack the New Party. These are the people who are truly suitable to be our prey."
Baron Sindras, who was sitting on a single sofa, frowned. There were too many things that happened today, so much that he couldn't tell whether they were going to the New Party through him, or whether they were really targeting him.
The baron touched his neatly combed black hair mixed with silver threads, then touched his broad forehead, then followed it down to his face and towering cheekbones, which seemed to have no enough flesh to support them, and finally touched his
The clean-shaven chin, the light blue eyes showing thoughts.
This is his thinking habit, allowing him to remember that he is a living person, not a monster.
"What are you still thinking about? If the police contact Dwayne Dantès, then according to today's police department's practice, even if Earl Hall is here, you will definitely be investigated. Even now, the investigation may have already begun
As long as one of the 'Nighthawks', 'Punishers', and 'Heart of Machines' participates in investigating you, it will definitely not be hidden from them."
North McGrath stuck out his head, stuck out his green and black tongue, and licked around his lips. A drop of saliva fell on the carpeted floor, and a hole was etched into the light blue carpet.
.follow precedent
"It's just a businessman, and more than one has died. What are you afraid of!"
"Do you smell fear on me?"
Baron Sindras looked at North McGrath without fear and raised his head, "McGrath North, you are not qualified to talk to me like this. We are all slaves of the master."
After saying that, he leaned on the sofa again and supported his chin.
"This matter is not that simple. If it disturbs the master's plan, it will not be easy for us."
