章節 875: The St. Claire Family Business

The moment those words left the Earl's mouth, it took those seated at the table by surprise.

The St. Claire and the Leopold families did not have any prior business connections as their areas of expertise did not lay in the same sphere.

The Leopold family dealt with jewels, importing and exporting them to whoever bid them a good price.

On the other hand, the St. Claire family was majorly in the field of trading metals that were mined within their fief.

Therefore, the two families had not much contact as they did not deal with each other in the business world.

However, Lord Jonah Leopold had sent Rutherford a letter with a proposal a few weeks ago which had intrigued him.

If they could combine forces then they would be able to rake up a good amount of profit.

Rutherford, being a true businessman, had not declined that proposal but had shown interest in it as it was to his benefit.
