Jerome Bonaparte paused and looked at Valerovsky, feeling a sense of unease in his heart.
Emile Pereire? Shouldn't he be in Paris? How did he end up coming here? Could something major have happened at the Industrial Bank involving Emile Pereire... But that shouldn't be the case!
Jerome Bonaparte believed that if there really were any operational issues at the Industrial Bank, his informants there would have conveyed the intelligence to him immediately. The exploitation of the California gold mines was the next priority only after a coup, and any slight mishap could lead to French capital facing a confrontation from New Continent capital.
With a perplexed mind, Jerome Bonaparte lifted his head and gazed at Valerovsky with his gray-blue eyes for a moment, then nodded and said in a habitual tone, "Understood, let Mr. Emil in!"
"Yes!"
Valerovsky followed Jerome Bonaparte's order and invited Emile Pereire into the study.
