Chapter 584: The Duke Is Sad

In the early morning, while eating breakfast in the restaurant, Mary asked casually; "I don't even know when I came back yesterday."

"In the early morning, I was afraid to disturb you, so I slept in the study." Li Zitao said with a natural expression while eating fried eggs.

It was Elizabeth who shook her hand and almost threw the bread out, making Mary look at her curiously.

"I played too much yesterday, and my hands were a little sore." Elizabeth forced a smile.

The hands were not sore, but the legs were really sore. She was only thankful that Mary had been feeding the child long enough last night, so she didn't hit her on the spot.

But if she was there, Li Zitao would have noticed that there were two people on the bed, and maybe what happened later would not happen.

"Are you still going to today's afternoon tea? Otherwise, you can stay at home and rest." Mary was holding a bowl with soft bread soaked in milk, and was feeding the two little guys.

For more than six months, they have been able to feed non-staple food, and now they can't feed them with milk alone.

The appetite of the two little guys is amazing. Two slices of whole wheat bread and a small bowl of goat milk can be eaten clean every time.

In this way, Mary's food intake after three breastfeedings a day, fortunately, she can take non-staple food, otherwise, no matter how healthy she is, it will not be enough for the two of them.

"Go." Leave her alone at home, if Li Zitao doesn't go out today, she won't die of embarrassment.

Up to now Elizabeth dare not look him in the face, but...

The size she personally measured last night lingered in her mind, and she almost forgot the feeling of that event, let alone the feeling of fullness like being torn.

After breakfast, Li Zitao said he had something to do and went out, and Elizabeth also went to her room to make up and change clothes.

"Ma'am." Lisen, who was standing behind her, took two steps forward, looking at Mary's back hesitantly.

"Don't talk about it, just pretend you haven't seen it." Mary pointed her finger up to signal her to stop talking. It's better to let this matter rot in your stomach.

Thinking of how the two of them avoided each other's gaze, and what Lison said earlier, "Master entered the master bedroom, and came out to the study in about 30 minutes," she couldn't help but smile bitterly in her heart.

How it happened, Mary could guess when she calmed down and thought about it.

Marie is well aware of how tough her husband is and how obsessed he is with her body.

In addition, yesterday's situation will make him feel guilty, and he must want to 'compensate' her when he comes back. '

Just at that time, she left the room because of the crying of the child.

Had she known that he would be back last night, Mary would not have agreed to allow Elizabeth to sleep in the master bedroom.

But she thought that Li Zitao would not come back last night and would stay there for the night. Now that it's all over, what should they do after this incident? Will they...

For the first time, Mary felt that she didn't know what to do, "Is this counting as leading a wolf into the house?"

...

Sitting in the car heading to the think tank, Li Zitao was also thinking about this matter, "As the saying goes, my sister-in-law's half-up is my brother-in-law's, what about my sister-in-law?"

No one expected what happened last night.

But it just happened.

It is impossible for Li Zitao to forget just like that, and I believe Elizabeth will not forget it either. Looking back on her touch, she is definitely not smaller than a breastfeeding wife.

Moreover, it is quite exciting to think about wearing a green hat to Duke Hornberg.

That Grandet, who was locked up at home, is having a hard time now. The steel factory he founded in partnership with several nobles has been run off by AD-B and closed down.

When Golden Arches selected raw material suppliers, it excluded all the food factories and companies in which he participated, which put a lot of pressure on him at the shareholder meeting.

There are places where there are ready-made high-priced purchases, but they cannot join, and they have to pay shipping costs and customs duties to export abroad. Everyone knows the reason.

If everyone exported the same products and paid the same tariffs, no one would have any objections.

But now that the Golden Arches is open for bidding, their food company is clearly very competitive, because Hornberg doesn't even have the chance to participate.

"Your Excellency, for the long-term development of the company, the shareholders will suggest that you voluntarily sell your shares, and we will give you a satisfactory price."

Shareholders who were dissatisfied with their interests slipping away in this way took the lead in attacking Duke Hornberg at the recent shareholders meeting.

What kind of duke, what kind of friendship, in the face of real interests, these are all false, besides, Li Zitao and Princess Adelaide are also their own people.

The Duke of Hornberg actually kicked them out of the house. With such a disrespectful attitude, if it were in the 19th century, the two families would definitely fight to the death to defend their own dignity.

Li Zitao is now using commercial means to teach him a lesson, and there is no need for others to be buried with him.

"Bastards, have you forgotten that I was the one who gave you the wealth and status you have now?" Duke Hornberg growled like an angry bull.

"We will never forget the Duke for your help, or can you talk to Charlie directly and make him change his mind?"

The shareholder's proposal made Duke Hornberg's face as black as ink. It was to make him bow his head to Li Zitao, "Have you forgotten the honor of nobles? Let me bow my head to a Chinese?"

"Your Excellency, Duke Hornberg, I have to remind you that the Chinese you mentioned are the Marquess of the British Empire and the legal husband of Her Royal Highness Princess Adelaide of the Duchy of Luxembourg." The viscount sitting in the chief seat said neither humble nor overbearing.

Not all the people here are friends of the Duke of Hornberg. If he is not allowed to leave the shareholders' meeting, then the Golden Arches will not consider their company.

Higher prices than exports, convenient storage and transportation conditions, and more profits.

Because of Duke Hornberg's mistake, they have to bear this?

NO!

That's the answer they gave, kicking Duke Hornberg out of the company and getting involved in the bid for the Golden Arches.

I believe that after learning about this incident, the generous Chinese rich man will definitely give them this opportunity, because they have shown enough sincerity.

These shareholders guessed right. After kicking Duke Hornberg out of the company, they got the tickets for the bidding, and they were "lucky" to become the winning bidders.

However, Li Zitao had arranged these things in advance, and he didn't have the energy to pay attention to such small things now.

The valuation of Alaska Standard Oil has finally come out today.

4.768 billion U.S. dollars, this is the answer given after knowing the real production reserves of the northern gas field. The northern gas field and the exploration and production rights of the three major emirates they currently hold account for more than half of the valuation.

He doesn't know Mobil's valuation yet, but he will soon.

The next step is the formal negotiation, and the elites of the think tanks are mobilized to prepare for this transaction that will cause turmoil in the oil market. '
