Chapter 620: 'Rich Man' Khedira
Of course it was Khedira who spoke.
He raised his glass and toasted to Esther from a distance, then continued chatting and laughing with the girl next to him as if nothing had happened.
"Ma'am, your card!" The waiter returned Esther's bank card to her with both hands with a smile on his face.
"Hmph!" Esther took the bank card.
"'Princess of Hedingen', do you want me to call the police to find your bag?" the waiter asked with a smile.
Esther's face turned dark. Why are you bringing up something that is not relevant to the topic?
"No need!" Esther said angrily, but she was a little confused now. Yes, her bag was lost! Damn it!
She turned her gaze directly to Khedira, who was still there chatting and smiling with a few girls. She thought for a moment and walked towards Khedira, but Kasin and Walter diligently stopped her.
"Sir! May I bother you for a moment?" Esther asked.
Khedira finally saw her and waved to Walter and Kasin, who then let Esther in.
"Thank you for helping me out." Esther said, "Sir, could you please leave me your contact information? I'll return the money to you later."
Khedira then said, "Pay back the money? I just heard you say you're the 'Princess of Hedingen'. I'm afraid you won't be able to pay it back anytime soon."
"What do you mean?" Esther was stunned.
Khedira frowned slightly: "You don't know anything?"
"What do I know?" Esther frowned.
Khedira made an 'invite' gesture and said, "Princess, if you don't mind sitting down and having a couple of drinks together?"
Esther did not refuse. In fact, she came here just to get to know this man who looked very rich.
After watching Esther sit down, Khedira poured her a glass of wine. "Princess, it seems you really don't care about family matters. Prince Hedingen is currently embroiled in a lawsuit, and the situation is very unfavorable to him. According to the speculation of my law firm staff, Prince Hedingen may be in great trouble this time. Now it can be seen that this is indeed the case. Your bank card should be the prince's secondary card, right? Your assets have been frozen."
"Why?" Esther's eyes widened. "How is it possible to freeze assets?"
Khedira explained, "Frenchman Fabien Cousteau is suing the Dutch IHC Group, and IHC has produced evidence linking the case to the Prince of Hedingen, alleging collusion between a new executive and him. IHC immediately dismissed the individuals involved and filed a lawsuit against him. Furthermore, the Prince's former assistant has produced extremely damaging evidence, even involving racism. His situation is now extremely dire. Crucially, IHC is demanding a higher amount and has asked the bank to freeze his assets. Your experience today suggests... the bank has already agreed to IHC's request. Princess, you are also a noble, and you should know how many Dutch nobles are represented by IHC, so this outcome is not surprising. Crucially, the Prince's actions have also impacted German interests. The Tri-State Alliance involves even deeper interests of the powerful."
A girl next to Khedira heard this and said, "This means the princess will become poor."
After hearing this, Esther frowned and looked at the girl fiercely.
The girl spread her hands and said, "I'm not wrong."
Khedira waved his hand and said, "It's okay. We'll be poor for only a year at most. A year from now, Esther will shock everyone."
Aether asked in confusion, "Why do you say that?"
Khedira blinked and said, "You don't know about this? Sorry, sorry, I didn't say anything."
Esser's curiosity was piqued, and he asked Khedira, "Is there anything you can't say?"
Khedira nodded: "I'm sorry, Princess."
Seeing that he couldn't ask, Esther asked, "Then why are you still willing to help me?"
Khedira smiled and said: "I am Khedira von Hardenberg, so we are relatives."
Esther's eyes turned when she heard this: "You must be related to my husband, right? Then why have I never seen you before?"
Khedira smiled and said, "That was a long time ago. You've heard it too. My last name is 'Hardenberg'. It can't be compared to a big family like 'Friedrich'. I'm probably a small, remote family that's not considered worthy in the eyes of the royal family."
Hearing Khedira's self-deprecating remarks, Esser hurriedly said, "This is the Republican era. How can we use ancient social classes to divide people?"
That's not what she said just now. She was still trying to scare people with her identity as a "princess".
"But Mr. Hardenberg, why didn't I know you before?" Esther asked curiously.
Khedira smiled and said, "I've been developing abroad for many years. I just returned to Berlin and am unfamiliar with many things here. These beautiful ladies are giving me a lesson in Berlin life."
Esther looked at Khedira and said, "Looking at your body shape and skin color, you really don't look like a prince."
Khedira is a typical muscular man, and his skin is deeply tanned after following Xiao Peng on the sea.
"Well, that's not surprising. I've been obsessed with surfing recently, so I stayed in Australia for a while." Khedira smiled.
"Then how do you know about my family?" asked Esther.
Khedira said: "I do some investment when I have nothing to do. Now the largest law firm in France has my investment."
A girl nearby said, "Mr. Hardenberg, didn't you just say your family owns a bank?"
Khedira said calmly: "If a family only has one investment, how can I support myself?"
Esther suddenly realized, "So you know a lot of things I don't. Why did you say I would shock everyone in a year? I understand. In a year, my husband will get those cultural relics back, and I'll say he was stupid for doing that. But this is not my decision."
Khedira said: "Those cultural relics cannot be retrieved after a year."
"Hmm?" Esther asked, "Mr. Hardenberg, what do you know?"
Khedira shook her head: "I'm sorry, Princess, I really can't lie to a beautiful woman like you, but I really can't tell you this."
After hearing this, Esther pondered for a moment and smiled, "It's a pity that I'm in this situation now, otherwise I would definitely treat you to a couple of drinks."
Khedira smiled and said, "No, no, no, it's my honor to drink with a beautiful lady like you. I should be the one treating you."
"Why don't we go somewhere else for a drink?" Esther said, "Trust me, I can introduce you to everything in Berlin better."
"Well, in that case...I couldn't ask for more!"
