Chapter 420 Wedding

"This is what I have always hoped for, Mr. Bogle."

When John Bogle heard Barron's words, a smile appeared on his face, but then his smile froze.

"But not now..."

"you mean?"

"Now is not the best time, because DS Capital has only been around for less than three years and is still a toddler. I don't want to force growth, but rather to have a more solid foundation…"

John Bogle's fingers drummed on the tabletop with an inexplicable rhythm.

After a full minute, he said,

"Your Highness, you think DS Capital still has great development potential, so you don't want to exchange shares with the Leading Group right now... Am I right?"

Without demanding an answer from Barron, Bogle continued:

"But I hope you understand that only by standing on our side will there be enough room for development."

Facing the old man's threatening words, Barron replied calmly:

"I never refuse any good intentions, Mr. Bogle. I just plan at my own pace."

"What if, in addition to the plan I proposed, I add a clause similar to a bet? If your DS Capital can reach a corresponding scale in the next five years, you can get more shares of the Leading Group..."

John Bogle's proposal seems more reasonable.

But Barron still shook his head and said to him:

"I respect our friendship, so I don't want anyone to think about shorting DS Capital, so..."

His meaning was very clear. If the "bet" plan was really accepted, then Vanguard Group would have the idea of ​​targeting DS Capital and shorting them. After all, if DS Capital really reached the so-called "scale", Vanguard Group would inevitably lose shares. Seeking profit and avoiding harm is a temptation that Vanguard Group will inevitably face under such circumstances.

"You are an ambitious beast, Barron."

Bogle's words made Barron laugh:

"If not, then what qualifications do I have to stand with you giants? Mr. Bogle, either sit at the table or get on the menu. I hope we are diners sitting around the table, and there is no need to doubt our 'friendship'."

"I admire you, Your Highness, but I hope you understand that our patience is limited."

"I don't need much time..."

…

Although John Bogle managed to cope with the situation temporarily, Barron also felt a growing sense of urgency.

But at this time, he needed to deal with more than just John Bogle.

He needs to take time to visit all the guests who come to Chatsworth House, especially Her Majesty the Queen and the Crown Prince.

"Uncle Sean, it's really nice to meet you, especially on this day..."

In the corridor, Barron met butler Sean... He has now resigned from his duties as butler and serves as a consultant in the manor, which can be regarded as another form of retirement care.

Barron gave Sean a hug and felt relieved to see that he looked well.

"I am very grateful to have waited for this day, Your Highness, especially you and Ms. Stuart. I can still remember the first time you came to the manor together. Perhaps it was God's will. I felt at that time that she would be the most suitable hostess for the Devonshire family."

Sean looked at the young duke in front of him, feeling deeply moved:

"God bless and glory to the Devonshire family."

…

The next day, September 15, the wedding ceremony officially began.

A total of 10 tons of various flowers airlifted from the Netherlands decorate the entire Chatsworth House with a rich atmosphere.

Witnessed by many guests, Barron, dressed in traditional ducal attire, and Bonnie Stuart, dressed in a wedding dress and a crown adorned with diamonds and gems, exchanged rings and took vows in the church in the manor, witnessed by the archbishop. Finally, with a sweet kiss, they declared themselves husband and wife.

It is worth mentioning that the wedding dress worn by Bonnie Stuart was designed and produced under the personal supervision of Gucci's design director. It was completely handmade and took a full month to complete before the wedding.

The crown she wore was also specially commissioned by Barron to be made by Cartier. The diamonds and gemstones on it were all collected at a high price, and some of them were even used from the family's collection. The total cost was as high as 10 million pounds!

In addition, the other clothes worn by Barron and Bonnie today were also specially tailored for them by the Gucci Group.

When everyone left the church and headed for the manor house, it meant that the banquet was about to begin.

Well, Prince William, who had just finished his internship at Chatsworth House, also put on a suit. He and his brother Harry both appeared today as members of Barron's best men.

Bonnie's bridesmaids were also quite impressive. Apart from Holly Branson, the daughter of the Virgin Group, the others were all daughters of aristocratic families.

When they returned to the mansion, Her Majesty the Queen gave her blessings to the newlyweds. At this moment, Bonnie was the Duchess of Devonshire.

Among the royal family members who came today, Barron met the Duke of Kent, but Miss Ella did not come. As for the reason, Allen knew it well.

The guests who came to Chatsworth House to attend the wedding also felt the luxury of the old British aristocratic family. Not only were all the banquets prepared by the most famous French chef team in Britain specially hired by Barron, but the tableware used by the guests were all silver tableware that could be used as works of art or even antiques.

It can be said that in today's England, apart from the royal family, there are only a handful of nobles who can still hold such a luxurious wedding.

Even the royal wedding, although grand, was not as expensive as Barron's wedding.

This can be seen from every detail of the wedding, the Devonshire family still has a strong foundation.

Of course, in the final analysis, all of this is supported by Barron's financial resources. As the richest man in Britain, it is not surprising that he can put on such a show.

"Where are you planning to go for your honeymoon next, Bonnie? Oh, it's the Duchess..."

Holly Branson asked quietly beside Bonnie.

"Barron rented a small island in Spain, and we plan to go there for a week..."

"Only one week? That's a bit short."

Hearing Holly's words, Bonnie shook her head and said:

"After all, we both have a lot of work to deal with. It's not easy to have a week off."
