Flowers, Swords and France
Chapter 114: Rage and Calmness
Because Charles had found a good idea for his problem, Baron de Bovan seemed to be in a very good mood. His smiling face became more friendly and he kept chatting with Charles.
Although Charles wanted to leave, he couldn't say goodbye due to etiquette, so he had to deal with the big banker in a casual manner.
After drinking a few cups of coffee, he felt that the time had almost come, so he finally planned to say goodbye to him. However, when he was about to speak, the baron seemed to suddenly remember something and asked Charles again.
"By the way, Charles, I heard that you are going to hold a ball with Miss de Treville recently and announce your marriage by the way?"
Why does it seem that everyone knows about this now? Charles was stunned, but soon nodded in approval. "That's true... After all, there's nothing else to do now, so why not have some fun."
"That's right, you've had a rare bit of free time recently." The baron nodded with a smile, "I heard you invited a lot of people recently?"
"Yes."

"Oh, that's really enviable, a place full of young people must be full of vitality." The baron said meaningfully.
Charles was a little confused at first, but soon realized that the baron didn't want to go himself, but wanted his children to go.
Well, that's right, although the family is worth billions, the baron's family is not particularly respected in the upper class that emphasizes bloodline and family background. The baron may not care whether he is regarded as a member of the upper class. But his children certainly don't like this situation, and if they are invited to the house of a famous family like the Duke of Treville, it will definitely change the impression of others.
When I think of this. Charles couldn't help but look at Laura who had been standing behind the Baron, but she still had no expression.
Well, it's not a big deal anyway. So many people have been invited, so it doesn't matter if two more are invited.
Although Charlotte certainly doesn't like the De-Bovan brothers and sisters, at least she can hide her disgust and warmly receive guests-this is a compulsory course for the upper class.
When he thought of this. Charles didn't think about it anymore and directly agreed to the other party.
"You just remembered that I haven't invited the two young people in your house. I wonder if they have time to come recently?"
"What are you talking about!" Seeing Charles's talk, Baron De-Bovan also smiled and nodded, "Could it be that a man named Bovan would refuse an invitation from Treville?" Then he looked back at Laura. "Are you saying that? Laura?"
"Yes. Father, I am very happy to have the opportunity to visit the Duke of Treville." Laura gave her father a satisfactory answer without thinking.
"Then, I sincerely look forward to your visit later. The invitation will be sent after I return." Charles smiled and nodded to Laura, and then said politely, "Miss de-Bovan, if possible, I would like to dance with you again."
Speaking of which. Although they have cooperated for so long before, it seems that the de-Bovan family has never been invited to their home by the Duke of Treville's family?
What a stubborn family. Although they pretend to be open-minded, their hearts are still in the old times. No wonder Charlotte can be cultivated into such a character... Charles sighed in his heart with a wry smile.
Then, he put aside such distracting thoughts, stood up, and said goodbye to Baron de-Bovan.
The baron also stood up with a smile and watched the young man leave his study.
After Charles had left and the door was closed again, he sat down again, and the smile on his face had disappeared.
He slowly poured himself another cup of coffee.
"What a good young man, smart, and not influenced by any outdated ideas... The Duke of Treville insisted on something for more than ten years, and he threw it away without a second of hesitation!"
"Is he really not as arrogant as his relatives?"
"Not as arrogant? Haha... He is much more arrogant than them!" The banker smiled coldly, "Contempt is kept in the deepest part of the heart, not expressed by various external things. This kid is very arrogant. I dare say that there may not be many people in the world who are in his eyes."
"Really?" Laura was a little surprised. "Then what does he think of us?"
"He respects me very much, the kind of real respect, but not afraid. As for you... it's hard to say." The baron slowly drank another cup of coffee, "So, this guy is really like me when I was young."
"Is that so..." Laura frowned slightly.
"Lola, sit down." The baron pointed to the seat where Charles had just sat, and motioned his daughter to sit down.
Lola sat down obediently.
"Just go and have fun this time, after all, this is a rare opportunity." As soon as his daughter sat down, the baron gave an order, "Maurice, you also watch carefully, don't let him do anything to embarrass me. It is very important for me to have a good relationship with the Treville family now."
"In that case, why not just not let your brother go?" Laura asked back.
"He will inherit my career after all. There is no harm in getting to know more people now." The Baron took another sip of coffee. "Besides, I have been putting so many things on him recently. Now I can find an opportunity to let him know." It’s good for him to relax.”
As soon as she heard the words "He will inherit my career after all," Laura lowered her eyes slightly.
No matter how hard he worked, the family business would eventually be inherited by his brother, and his father had never cared so much about him.
It took her a second to let the sudden anger in her heart dissipate.
"Okay, I get it, Dad," she replied calmly.
"By the way, after you go there, you also come to have fun, meet his sister by the way, and improve your relationship with his sister - weren't you two classmates who studied painting? It shouldn't be difficult to do this. "The baron said suddenly, "Although it doesn't mean much now, we have to look at the long term... After all, Miss de Treville was gifted a director's seat by her brother. Although I don't plan to do anything now, I will do it now. The relationship is good after all, maybe she can bring us some unexpected help in the future..."
"Okay, Dad." Laura responded again.

Although there was no expression on her face, she felt a little expectant in her heart.
If, as she suspected, Miss de Treville was secretly in love with her brother, then how would she feel when her brother was about to announce the marriage in public? Woolen cloth?
It's... so tragic that it makes people look forward to it. It's so interesting. Laura couldn’t help but sneered in her heart.
"In addition, Laura, you can also pay attention there when you get there to see if there are any young people who are suitable for you... You are not very young anymore, you should pay attention to this kind of thing..." Just as she was still While she was immersed in these thoughts, her father's voice once again brought her back to reality, "If you have someone you like, just follow her. I said, it doesn’t matter who you are, dad believes in your vision, and dad will not have any ridiculous family background... I will definitely give you enough dowry, don’t worry, my daughter, I have always been in this regard Very open-minded. Speaking of this, Maurice is not young anymore. It’s time to calm down. Please help me pay attention and see if there are any suitable candidates. "
When talking about this, the baron's tone was unexpectedly soft, and he was obviously full of love for his children. However, his words were more able to cool down Laura's enthusiasm and her heart than anything else.
As if a basin of cold water was poured over her face, Laura only felt chilled all over her body at that moment, and even trembled slightly involuntarily.
Will what is coming finally come? His father wanted to marry him off, and then he would lose the surname De Beauvain forever, and at the same time, he would also lose the opportunity to inherit his father's huge family business.
Do you want to send me away with just a few million or ten million? And then let an incompetent loser like Morris inherit a career that he is not qualified to inherit? Why can't I? Just because I'm a woman? !
A roar seemed to be ringing in her head and chest at the same time.
But she quickly regained her composure. Although she didn't know how much perseverance it took, she finally regained her composure.
"Okay, Dad, I'll pay attention."
"Well, then you go and take a rest first." The baron waved his hand, indicating that he would deal with other matters next.
Laura stood up gently, then walked out all the way, heading straight to her bedroom.
Her originally expressionless face was now even more clouded. Her pale complexion revealed a sinister look, and her pace was full of anger. The servants passing by along the way only dared to lower their heads and move forward. They didn't dare to come out.
She didn't even glance at the bugs, and was thinking about them all the way.
Dad is right. My age is coming soon, and so is Maurice's. He will eventually worry about our marriage.
In other words, if my brother had to die, it would be time now.
Otherwise, if you put it off until you get married and leave a child, you will be in trouble, and then you will have to waste energy on killing one more.
she thought calmly.
She held her hand tightly.
What method should be used to get my brother to take the path he must take? (To be continued...)
