Chapter 2408

Facing Solander’s question, Valentina did not answer directly, but looked around and said lightly, “Mr. Solander, it’s not suitable to talk about this here…” Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

Although the five families had been kicked out, there were still other allies of the Rothschilds here. After all, the Rothschilds had been around for many years, and their roots and branches had spread to various fields and were very pervasive. Therefore, their scale was beyond everyone’s imagination.

One would never know if the faction they were dealing with had been funded by the Rothschilds or was simply a secret sub-family of the Rothschilds.

As for the five families, they were more like living targets which stayed on the surface. The true power of the Rothschilds was like an iceberg, and what was visible would always only be the tip of the iceberg.

Solander quickly understood what Valentina meant.

He nodded heavily, looked around carefully, and said in a deep voice, “Okay, after the dinner is over, please come to our conference room to discuss this matter in detail.”

After speaking, Solander turned to everyone and apologized, “I still have some important things to do, so someone will bring you all to the dinner party later… For today’s accident, we, the Elvis family, will give everyone here a small gift to express our apology.”

Now the Elvis family, which was also the groom’s family, had spoken, the United Kingdom’s royal family, which was the bride’s family, would also follow suit.

Harry stood up. Firstly, he showed his etiquette to everyone and said gracefully, “As a representative of the United Kingdom royal family, I also apologize to everyone. We will also prepare a small gift for everyone later.”

What Solander and Harry were doing now was less an apology than showing everyone their attitude. After all, everyone had a certain degree of conflict with the Rothschilds just now. Although there would be some buffer after the event and it would not develop into a war between the families, there would inevitably be friction.

Most of these forces belonged to the Western system. Although most of them used ideology to maintain a certain degree of external unity, they still could not avoid internal friction and fighting.

Although the United Kingdom was known as the empire on which the sun never set, this was in the past. Moreover, the Rothschilds had never been as simple as a single family unit, and it could almost be considered equivalent to a country.

So, if they did not make sure to win over some allies at this time. Even if Harry’s behavior had always been reasonable and it would not affect the line of succession, he would probably still be punished after returning.

Giving gifts to guests now was essentially a confirmation of the attitude of the guests and the forces behind them.

Both Solander and Harry were well aware of this. However, as a member of the United Kingdom royal family, it was not easy for Harry to come forward. On the other hand, it was very appropriate for the Elvis family, who had already relied on the United Kingdom, to take the lead.

After the two parties spoke, they did not leave immediately but quietly looked at the guests in the audience.

There was a buzz below.

Clearly, they had also sensed Solander and Harry’s intentions.

After some discussion, some people started to leave the venue early on the pretext of domestic affairs.

The faces of Solander and Harry turned unpleasant.

“These people obviously participated in the expulsion of the five families just now, so why do they choose to leave now?”

Ludwig looked at the situation in the room while blinking her big eyes. Then, she got close to Valentina’s ear and asked curiously.
