"What's so complicated about this? Boss, the opportunity you provided is so good. Even if they just want to take a look, those who are not qualified enough have no chance. What's so suspicious about two experts in the same industry putting aside their prejudices to cooperate?
In the end, it's just that you can't accept your relatives coming to you at this time, instead of finding you and Mrs. Lena when your life is hard and helping you. "
"Well, it's not complicated. I'm really unwilling. Why do I have to help my relatives who I haven't even met when I'm rich? But you're right about one thing.
Let's see if we can recognize them. If we don't get along well, then just say goodbye. There are many relatives who are not as good as friends these days. "
Having said that, William was silent. When he heard that there was only one half-grown child left in the Chen family, William, who was from the Celestial Empire in his previous life, could not help but feel suffocated.
From time to time, he wondered why his relatives had an accident. Even if he had no feelings for them, William himself did not want to recognize them, but it did not mean that he was willing to see them disappear. Maybe his relatives were very easy to talk to and very reasonable people.
The possibility of good and bad was half, but there was only one person left in Mexico. The others were all gone. He did not even have the opportunity to know and contact them.
Thinking of this, William was very upset. If he was upset, others would not have a good time. Otherwise, he would be sorry for the other half of his blood.
When the motorcade arrived at Gordon's Restaurant in Chelsea, William, who had been silent for a long time, showed a smile on his face because he saw his mother standing outside the restaurant waiting for him.
As soon as William got out of the car, he walked to his mother, hugged his mother, kissed her on the face, and complained, "Why didn't you pick me up at the airport?"
Lena pulled William to look at him. When she saw that her son had not changed, she smiled kindly and said, "I didn't want to go. If I went, I would definitely be looked at like a monkey. Someone didn't even tell me and announced the purchase of Chelsea and the birthday party to the media."
Then she twisted William's ear and said angrily, "Do you know how much harassment I've been subjected to these days? You even made me leave Devonshire II to come to London to help you take care of everything. "
William chuckled. "No, Mom, that horse is called Charcoal Head. Only my son can be called Second Prince." He tried to curry favor with his mother. "The sudden announcement wasn't to give you a surprise.
At the same time, it's also to build momentum for the succession of the title in the future. Before the news of Earl Oxford's death spreads, we need to build momentum first. Otherwise, if the news spreads, it'll be too deliberate and people will gossip. "
Lena thought for a while. "You're right. Since you're so considerate, I'll let you off this time." She helped William straighten his tie. Lena turned to look at the nervous and beautiful Abigail. "Aren't you going to introduce me to the girls around you?"
Abigail didn't wait for William to speak and answered herself, "Madam Devonshire, my name is Abigail Chas. I'm a Devonshire American. I'm currently Mr. Devonshire's art collection consultant. It's nice to meet you, Madam."
Lena rolled her eyes. She didn't believe in art collection consultant at all. She reached out to shake Abigail's hand. "It's nice to meet you too, Miss Abigail."
William then introduced his mother and the five Chinese experts to each other. After greeting each other, everyone walked into Gordon's Restaurant.
As soon as they entered the restaurant, Head Chef Gordon led a few other chefs to welcome them. As soon as he saw William, Gordon laughed from afar and said, "Welcome, Mr. Devonshire. It's an honor to serve you again."
"Thank you, it's nice to meet you too, Head Chef Gordon." William shook hands with Gordon and said, "Thank you for your help today."
"No, it's no trouble at all. It's my pleasure. This way, please, ladies and gentlemen."
"Thank you." William held Abigail's hand and followed his mother into the prepared VIP lounge. As they walked, he asked, "Mom, are the guests here yet?"
Looking at her son holding Abby's hand, Lena shook her head helplessly and whispered in William's ear, "Aren't you afraid that Ambrose from New York will find out?"
"Well, mom, let's talk about something else," William said embarrassedly. "You don't have to worry about this kind of thing. It makes me feel weird to discuss it with you."
"I'm your mother. If you don't talk to me, who are you going to talk to?" Lena rolled her eyes at William. Seeing that William was really embarrassed, she let him go. "The guests are already here. Only a guy like you who doesn't have the slightest bit of aristocratic etiquette would treat himself to a meal and make the guests wait."
"Who cares." Seeing that his mother had no intention of blaming him, William immediately laughed and said, "If it weren't for the fact that I was curious about where he got the treasure in his hands, I wouldn't even meet this so-called baron. God, are there still any aristocrats in France? Rather than calling them aristocrats, it's better to call them self-aggrandizing liars. "
"Alright, alright. Although Kaboré doesn't have an aristocratic title now, his ancestors were indeed aristocrats. Furthermore, they were aristocrats from Devon. They still have some connections with our family." Lena glanced at William and reminded him, "Be careful with what you say later. Not everyone has an Earl title waiting for them like you. They don't care about aristocratic titles at all. If you belittle the Kaboré family, Daniel Kaboré might duel with you."
"Don't worry, mom. I'm not an idiot. I don't have the time to duel with others, although I can kill that Baron Kaboré with one hand."
Walking into the VIP lounge, the first thing William noticed was not Kaboré. Instead, it was a beautiful woman with long, straight black hair standing beside him. She wore colorless glasses and was wearing an evening gown that revealed a large portion of the car lights.
After staring at the beautiful woman for a while, William finally noticed Kaboré, who was about the same height as him, had neatly combed hair, a fair face without any beard, and was wearing a decent tuxedo.
William took the initiative to shake hands with Kaboré and said, "I'm sorry, your wife is too beautiful. I couldn't help but take a few more glances. Mr. Kaboré, I have to say that you're an enviable guy."
Kaboré, who was a little angry at William for staring at his wife's rude behavior, heard William's praise, and the anger in his heart immediately disappeared. He shook William's hand and laughed.
"Thank you, Mr. Devonshire. Your female companion is equally beautiful. I'm very honored to meet you and Madam Lena. To be honest, I didn't expect to meet Madam Lena. I'm flattered, but at the same time, I was a little rude. The first time I meet Madam Lena should be in a more formal setting."
William shook his head. "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. I didn't expect to see my mother as soon as I got off the plane."
"Cough, cough." William and Kaboré, who were greeting each other hypocritically, heard a few coughs. Kaboré immediately smiled and said, "It seems that my dear wife is a little angry. I was rude, Mr. Devonshire. This is my wife, Anna Lewis Kaboré."
