Rebirth of England.

Chapter 612 Dilemma
The first thing Barron did after returning to London was to go straight back to his home in Kensington. Although he had known from daily phone calls that Bonnie and the baby in her belly were both normal, it was only after seeing her that Barron was completely relieved.

"I also watched the opening ceremony of the Olympics..."

At this time in London, in the evening, the weather is still pleasant.

Barron held Bonnie's hand, and the two of them sat on the bench on the rooftop. He heard his wife say:
"It's really shocking. I regret not being able to see it in person..."

"The opening ceremony was indeed good, but if you watch it in person, some scenes are not as spectacular as the panoramic view in the broadcast."

Barron comforted her:

"I'll go to the opening ceremony of the London Olympics with you in four years, baby."

Bonnie is now more than nine months pregnant. Her belly is bulging and quite large. As a result, she often does not sleep well at night.

When Barron woke up the next morning, he saw the woman beside him sleeping soundly, so he tried his best to get up gently.

Walking out of the bedroom, Barron looked out the floor-to-ceiling window. He could just see the pale sky in the distance, but it was still mostly dark outside the house.

At this moment, Barron was momentarily distracted. Unconsciously, he had been in this world for six years. Not only did he have a huge fortune, but he also had a family, many women, and many children. Soon, his wife Bonnie would give birth to their second child...

"Your Highness the Duke..."

Alia's voice brought Barron back from his momentary trance:

"You're up too, Alya."

Alia, wearing a white long dress, handed a glass of water to Barron - it was Barron's habit to drink a glass of warm water after getting up.

While drinking water, he heard Alia ask softly:

"Are you still planning on going out for a run? Should I notify the bodyguard now?"

"Ah."

……

"We have already reaped considerable rewards from our short selling of European stock markets..."

After learning that Barron had returned to London, Daisy had already sorted out the latest investment data of their DS Group and handed it to him personally after Barron arrived at the DS Financial Center.

On the DS Group's side, the short selling of European stock markets was mainly carried out by the Caesar Fund and the DS proprietary fund mainly funded by the Cavendish Trust. Initially, a total of more than 100 billion euros were invested in this short selling.

Up to now, affected by the subprime mortgage crisis, the decline has spread not only to bank stocks but also to the entire stock market.

Especially for companies in industries with relatively large financing needs, such as real estate, telecommunications, shipping, etc., stock prices are particularly affected.

As the liquidity of the financial industry dried up due to the subprime mortgage crisis, these industries that needed bank credit support immediately fell into a capital hunger. If this continued, many companies would even be in danger of a broken capital chain.

For example, O2 Telecom, although it has considerable debt, has the DS Group as its backing, so it is relatively less affected by the subprime mortgage crisis. Their stock prices have fallen by more than 25% from their highest point last year.

As for other telecom companies, even the ones with the highest stock price drops can exceed 40%...

Moreover, there is still no sign of an end to this decline.

In addition, funds including the Mars Fund also achieved satisfactory returns from shorting futures products such as crude oil and gold.

Again, wealth does not disappear, it only transfers.

And DS Group is definitely not the only company that has profited from this crisis.

"By the way, I haven't congratulated you yet. I heard that you're going to be a father again soon..."

Daisy said this after the two finished talking about the stock market and futures investments and before leaving Barron's office.

"Yes, although I can't be sure of the exact date, but it will be soon."

Barron looked at Daisy and said:
"Although I hope you will always spend most of your time on work, as a friend, I also hope you can..." "Hmm? Fall in love? Get married? Or have children?"

Daisy raised her eyebrows and looked at Barron with a half-smile:

"With whom? You?"

"Uh... you know, Daisy, we..."

"Okay, I was kidding, Barron. You didn't act like your usual playboy self just now."

After saying this, Daisy turned and left without waiting for Barron to say anything.

Looking at her slim back, Barron couldn't help but shook his head.

Speaking of which, Barron's predecessor met Daisy when they were students, and Daisy could be said to be Barron's earliest subordinate...

It is definitely impossible to say that there was no ambiguity between the two of them during these years, and they even almost had a sexual encounter.

But Barron really couldn't treat Daisy as he pleased as he did other women.

It's simple. Beautiful or even stunning women are not a scarce commodity for him.

A woman like Daisy, who is capable enough, trustworthy enough, and deeply involved in his most core business, is too precious.

Therefore, Barron does not want the changes in their relationship to affect their business cooperation.

But he also knew that many times, certain changes were not controlled, just like Daisy had never had a lover until now.

And the barely audible word "coward" she said just now when she turned and left was also caught by Barron's extremely sharp hearing...

……

"Snapped"

A crisp sound echoed in the room.

After this voice, a woman's voice:

"Barron, I made an appointment with Bonnie to meet her in half an hour. If I'm late, I'm afraid I'll have to tell her that it was you..."

"Snapped"

There was another sound, and Barron said lightly:
"Countess, perhaps this is not a very good reason, and you are not very active, which is probably the reason why it is not so fast."

In a wardrobe in the corner of the room, the door was quietly opened a crack.

In the dark cabinet, the increasingly intense sounds outside could be clearly heard.

Also, there is the sound of heavy breathing that is difficult to suppress.

"Maybe you should take a shower before you come home with me."

When he finally calmed down, Barron took a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat from his forehead, then spoke to the Countess, who was a little limp.

"Forget it, I'll go see her tomorrow, you bastard, you said it would be over in a while..."

"Well, I think you should have some idea of ​​how long 'a while' means to me."

Hearing Barron's "innocent" words, Countess Bute glared at him unhappily and said in a low voice:

"You should go, Barron, if you don't want someone to die in the closet..."
