Chapter 344 Cause and Effect
“Very good, Catherine, you have made your own choice.”
Half an hour later, those who returned to the villa room, in addition to Mikhail, also There is Catherine with complex expressions.
Barron asked her to sit next to him, rubbed her face with his palms, and spoke softly.
“What on earth is going on?”
Catherine still clearly remembers that before leaving here with the man and her husband, Barron picked up the mobile phone he found from Colin Hall on the table.
This is the most luxurious Vertu mobile phone at this time. It is the first mobile phone in the Ascent series just released this year. The style still looks very eye-catching now.
However, today’s mobile phones do not have fingerprint or face scanning functions like those used in smartphones more than ten years later. However, after Barron picked up the Vertu mobile phone, he handed it to Mihai Well, he entered the password to unlock it very skillfully, and then used this mobile phone to post a text message...
Next, Mikhail picked up the napkin on the table, put on his gloves, and was very I carefully wiped the Vertu phone and put it back in Colin Hall's pocket.
It was their actions that made Catherine realize something, but now, she still couldn't believe it and hoped to get confirmation from Barron.
"Actually, haven't you already guessed it?"
Barron stood up and said to Mikhail without saying more:
"Now we can clean up here... …”
When Catherine saw Mikhail coming out of this room unnoticed Three cameras were taken out...not just in this room, but also in other locations...
She finally understood what Barron meant by "cleaning up" and why he was so concerned about The reason why Colin Hall’s plan is known so clearly...
"Mrs. Hall, am I asleep? Barron, are you here too?"
When Barron and Catherine arrived at the bedroom where Gabriel was upstairs, after some "waking up" , Miss Ella finally slowly opened her eyes.
"Yes, you have been asleep for three hours, I think I should call you..."
...
Colin Hall is dead.
When the news reached the villa last night, the expression of surprise and sadness on Catherine's face was hard to fake.
And Barron knew that these performances of hers, apart from Colin's death, were probably more caused by the ending, which was likely to happen to her... and Barron.
What I have to sigh is that the Rothschild family is indeed fierce in their actions.
The other party actually hit the car Colin Hall was riding in with a tanker truck. An explosion destroyed everything, and even Colin Hall's bones no longer existed. .
This also makes the cautious measures they took before somewhat redundant.
With such an "accident" involving an heir to a prominent banking family, Scotland Yard naturally would not sit idly by and conducted an investigation afterwards.
Including the villa where Colin Hall left, Mrs. Hall, Barron and Gabriel who were present at the time were questioned by Scotland Yard.
But these people are not ordinary people. Even for "inquiries", methods must be paid attention to, not to mention that there are lawyers present who are eyeing them. The final result can be imagined.
In the end, Benjamin Rothschild naturally knew that their "plan" had gone awry, and the person they arranged to physically eliminate eventually became Colin Hall.
But no matter what, at this time, they can only hold their noses and mobilize their strength to work with Barron to suppress this matter and turn it into an "accident"...
As for the Hall family?
Perhaps under the combined pressure of the Rothschild family and the Devonshire family, he will choose to "eat the gall"...
But a few years later, Barron will still Do you care about them?
......"How can you let me go?"
"Madam, your behavior just now was not like this..."
Hearing what Barron said in a teasing tone, Catherine was so ashamed and angry...
In Ke After Lin Hall's "unexpected" death, Barron, as his "close partner", naturally wanted to comfort the young widow Catherine Hall.
After some extremely overbearing "comfort", Catherine now feels like she has no strength left in her body.
What she had to admit was that at many moments just now, she had indeed felt an impact on her soul that she had never experienced before... But now, she was indeed at a loss.
"Colin's father has contacted me and he is ready to buy the shares in Northrock Bank that I can get..."
As mentioned before, the Hall family holds a total of 100 shares in Northrock Bank. 18% of the shares are held by three holding companies controlled by the Hall family.
As the heir to the Hall family, the holding company owned by Colin Hall holds 8% of the bank's shares. In addition, he also holds part of the private bank-Holland Hall. Bank shares.
I am afraid that no matter what, Colin Hall would never have thought that there would be such an ending today, and Catherine would even give up his previous plan for this, so in his will, Catherine was his The only heir to the property...
Now, in order to maintain control of Northrock Bank and the security of Hall Bank, the foundation of the family, the Hall family can only buy back these shares from Catherine.
"I won't ask you to make any choice, Catherine, but you have to think clearly whether the Hall family will still treat you as one of their own..."
"Haha, from their side You can tell if you want to buy back the shares, can't you? "
"Many times, their methods are not just financial... Think about Colin, so you feel that even if you follow their requirements, , 'return' the shares to the Hall family, will you be safe? "
What Barron said was exactly what frightened Catherine - before that, she was just a noblewoman. People, and what happened that night directly subverted her cognition. The dark side that was unabashed was revealed, allowing her to see the cruelty in it.
This is not the tender upper class society in the TV series, but a life-and-death struggle...
"Don't you know how to do that?"
Katherine gave Barron a deep look and said:
"But that day you made Colin..."
"You are wrong, Catherine."
Barron interrupted her and said without mercy:
"It's not me, it's you who did it. And, at best, we are just following Colin's script, but he designed the script himself, so this is very ironic. If what he originally wanted was just to click through, Then the result is determined; if he leaves no room, then the result is his own choice."
Katherine had to admit that Barron was right.
She saw Barron looking directly at her, and his voice was undeniable:
“I can promise you, Catherine, if others treat me, I will repay you double, but as long as you Stay loyal, and I will deserve your trust. Just like now, if you are on my side, then I will ensure your safety!"
"What if I sell these shares to you? ? Not only from Northrock Bank, but also from Hall Bank..."
