v3 Chapter 800： Trouble with Lloyds Bank (1/2)
”Sir Carter, good afternoon!”
”And Henry, who has grown a lot taller and more handsome!”
”Hi, Xia Yu, it's nice to meet you. Welcome to my house.”
”Master, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's really great...”
...
In the Howard family castle, Xia Yu carried gifts and greeted each other with Duke Carter Howard and Henry who went out.
”Come in!”
Duke Carter Howard said to Xia Yu kindly. When he looked at his daughter, his eyes were soft.
As soon as he entered, Henry came and went out with Li Wuming, leaving Duke Carter Howard, Xia Yu and Elena in the living room.
”Sir Carter, I have to apologize to you first.”
After sitting down, Xia Yu was silent for a few seconds before speaking to Duke Carter Howard apologetically.
Elena on the side blinked ignorantly, wondering why Xia Yu said this suddenly.
Duke Carter Howard looked at Elena, frowned, then looked at Xia Yu, and said thoughtfully, ”Apologize? Why do you want to apologize to me?”
Xia Yu said frankly: ”Yesterday I received another invitation from Jacob Lowhill, and Elena went with me. It may cause some misunderstandings and have a certain impact on the Howard family. I am really sorry. ”
Hearing this, Duke Carter Howard frowned, his eyes no longer soft, and he looked straight at Xia Yu as sharp as a knife.
Xia Yu faced it calmly, with a trace of apology on his face.
Originally, he could not say that Duke Carter Howard might not know, but if he was kept in the dark but was specifically targeted by the Rohill family and suffered a dark loss unknowingly, then Xia Yu’s guilt would be serious. Now, how can he be worthy of Elena?
Therefore, he felt that he should tell the matter directly to Duke Carter Howard, at least let the latter know.
At this moment, Elena reacted. Seeing her father’s attitude was completely different, she knew that her father was serious, and she panicked. She immediately excused Xia Yu and said: ”Father, Xia Yu has always told me not to go, but I think , I am also a member of the company. I have the responsibility and obligation to participate in major affairs involving the company. I am only going on behalf of myself.”
When Duke Carter Howard heard his daughter say this, he was obviously defending Xia Yu, but he felt even more uncomfortable. He felt that his cabbage had been arched by a pig.
His eyes 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 a little red, as if the little secret had been discovered.
This change in Elena's expression was captured by Duke Carter Howard, and the discomfort in her heart became more intense.
At this time, Xia Yu said again: ”Sir Carter, I actually agreed to go with Elena. If there is any impact on the Howard family later, I am willing to take responsibility.”
Hearing what Xia Yu was so responsible, Carter Howard was taken aback for a while, and he stared at Xia Yu for a long time. He saw the calmness and sincerity in Xia Yu's eyes, and he suddenly felt better.
This kid is also a man!
His frowning brows gradually slowed down, and asked Xia Yu, ”What happened after you met Jacob Rohill?”
Xia Yu said in detail: ”Jacob Rohill sold all the Mirror Group to me, and at the same time sold me a part of the Coca-Cola Company. As for the conditions, I will sell the Royal Bank of Scotland 100%. The fifth equity was sold to Barclays Bank.”
As soon as he said this, Duke Carter Howard's already soothed brows frowned again. He took a deep look at Xia Yu and asked in a deep voice, ”How much equity does Barclays Bank hold in Royal Bank of Scotland?”
Xia Yu replied calmly: ”41.1.1%.”
Duke Carter Howard nodded 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 curled up and said: ”I know that the Rohill family is uneasy and kind, but they just want to infiltrate my business, annex me, and at the worst, they will also earn me income. .”
”But I still promised to cooperate with them. Although the risks are high, but as long as you are careful, the harvest will be very rich. I have confidence in myself.”
