"I Your clothes are all torn. If it stays like this, I won’t see you again.”
"Don't be angry, honey, I'll ask someone to buy you some later..."
Barron looked at the pieces of cloth that had been thrown into the trash can by the Viscountess... Especially the fragments of stockings and the small purple hollow pieces of cloth...
Such a scene was captured by Barron, and his eyes inevitably fell on the Viscountess - so to speak, she is not inside now...

Thus owning Devonshire Ecological Agriculture Company, Barron decided to enter the field of high-end food supermarkets and at the same time provide sales terminals for his own ecological and organic farms to obtain higher profits.
"Duke's Selection" is DSM's own brand, which will pursue the highest quality and ensure a high-end image.
At the same time, in terms of DSM’s shareholding, Devonshire Ecological Agriculture Company holds 60% of the shares and is responsible for the daily operations of the supermarket and the supply of products; DS Asset Management invested 15 million pounds and holds 40% of its shares.
These funds will be used to open new DSM stores and build a constant-temperature logistics warehouse in London to provide warehousing and distribution for DSM stores in London.

"In up to two weeks, our Devonshire Hotel will be open for business. At that time, the Cavendish Hotel in Soho will be vacant. According to your arrangements, it will be demolished and a 35-meter-high hotel will be built on the site. The construction period of the 2-story Cavendish Building is expected to be 6-7 months. After completion, we will use 15 floors to open the new four-star Cavendish Hotel."

"After the opening of the Devonshire Hotel, our main task is to renovate Callan Castle in the Scottish Highlands and build it into a castle hotel, which will be open to tourists."
Except In addition to Chatsworth Manor, the Devonshire family also owns two other castles and manors, located in Scotland and Ireland.
The ancient castle in Scotland is Callan Castle. It is located on the edge of a cliff in the Scottish Highlands. The scenery is very magnificent.
But because the Devonshire family didn't pay much attention to it before, Callan Castle has only been maintained as a residence for the family to visit Scotland occasionally.

The most important thing is that Callan Castle is very close to the city and above the castle. , you can overlook the nearby Kalan City, so it is very suitable for tourism and hotel industries.
