1331 Have a drink with you
Andre looked at the shriveled Arthur and Edith with a look of gloating on his face, and proudly stretched out his right hand, "I am willing to admit defeat.".”
Renly did not stop him, but asked enthusiastically, "What did they lose?"？”
Edith, who was still looking depressed, started to gloat. She raised her chin and gestured to Arthur, "His cigar box.".”
Renly's eyebrows slightly raised, and a smile appeared in his eyes..
He knew about the cigar box, which Arthur bought from a private auction. The item itself was not worth much, only two thousand pounds, but it was the first time Arthur attended a private auction alone when he was fourteen. , with commemorative significance; in addition, there is a watercolor painting of a beautiful woman lying on the couch inside the cigar box, which is very unique..
Andre undoubtedly saw the cigar box. Out of curiosity, he half-jokingly asked for it. Arthur naturally refused..
After that, Andre would ask for it in a prank every time they met. It was more of a mischievous mentality than genuine love, especially when Andre jokingly offered his connections and business in exchange for Arthur. After they still disagreed, this incident became a regular episode between them..
I didn't expect that Andre would succeed today..
However, Renly knew that Andre was just joking..
The cigar box will definitely accept it. After all, he is willing to admit defeat. This is a matter of integrity and dignity. If Andre refuses, it will be an insult to Arthur; but in exchange, he will definitely compensate in other ways. Arthur, especially Arthur, is now on his own, and Andre's connections can definitely be of great help..
“Andre, so, how are you going to give me my share? Renly said with a smile..
Andre curled his lips and said righteously, "The bishop taught me not to make a deal with the devil..”
“So has the bishop educated you about the consequences of refusing to make a deal with the devil? "Renly asked calmly..
Andre rolled his eyes speechlessly, "You can choose to shut up, it won't affect our friendship." Edith, who was sitting next to her, chuckled, seeming to enjoy Andre's deflated look..
Andre immediately turned his head and said seriously, "Hey, what about you? When will your bet be cashed in? I think now is a good time, just right, Curtis can make another trip.”
In an instant, Edith glared at Andre speechlessly..
Andre continued to explain to Renly, "Edith's bet is that Hollywood Captain America, let him come and have a meal or afternoon tea with us. It just so happens that Renly is also here, I think, this It's perfect timing.”
Captain America. Used here and now in a derogatory sense..
A slight smile appeared on Renly's lips, "You all regard me as the big devil, are you sure I will be happy?？”
The understatement immediately made everyone tremble. They all turned away and pretended that nothing happened..
At this moment, the butler, carrying a tray, appeared accurately in sight. He cut into the conversation with precise timing, breaking the awkward blank space where there seemed to be nothing, and successfully provided Andre, Arthur and Yi. Disi found the steps and immediately relaxed the atmosphere. It can be seen from this self-cultivation and quality that he is a real professional..
Renly picked up the whiskey in front of him and gently raised the glass towards Arthur to signal..
To get rid of the shackles of the family and take the first step, even if it seems to outsiders, it is extremely simple; but only by truly being in it can you understand the hardship and pain.
First Edith, then Arthur, the bonds of the Hall family are fragmenting bit by bit..
Although this analogy is not accurate or appropriate, the same is true for the British royal family. First, Princess Diana, then Princess Kate, then Prince Harry - and later Princess Meghan. The entire aristocratic class is unloading bit by bit. Put down their dignity and airs, and find a new position in the 21st century.
From an individual point of view, Renly's breakthrough and impact are undoubtedly sensational, setting off a storm among the entire upper class; but from an entire era, this is just a bunch of small waves, not at all Worth mentioning.
Even without too many words, Arthur could feel Renly's blessing..
Perhaps, when Renly invited them to Cannes at the Earl of Oxford's banquet, he had already anticipated the arrival of this day. Although there was no expression in words, he silently helped in actions.——
From the helping hand of Andre Hamilton, to the smooth introduction of the Barriere Group, to the unimpeded access of Cannes celebrities. Arthur has gained so much from this trip to Cannes. He has just decided to start his own business. It has successfully opened the door in Cannes, leading to the avenue of many European artists and celebrities..
family affection.
For aristocratic families, this is an unfamiliar word, because the fetters of family ties are far less important than family inheritance. For the sake of the family, individuals can be sacrificed; similarly, for the sake of the family, individuals must disappear behind the surname. behind; but now, Arthur felt it in Renly's body.
That's warm.
Arthur turned his head and saw the bright light in Edith's eyes. She seemed to have anticipated the current situation. This made Arthur a little embarrassed. He raised his whiskey and saluted Renly. Pour all the amber alcohol down your throat in one breath.
For a while, the bustling discussion settled down, and everyone silently picked up the wine glass in their hands. After paying tribute to each other, they took a sip. Bathed in the moonlight, this tranquility and peace surged quietly. , even the night breeze on the Côte d'Azur seems to bring with it the tipsiness and warmth of early summer..
For the first time, they were just like ordinary friends, sitting together and drinking and talking..
Renly shook the cup in his hand gently, the amber alcohol swirling gently, and a smile appeared in his eyes, "Arthur, this had better not be your new residence, otherwise it would be too rude. Ender Lie, you didn't express a strong protest? Wait, or is the butler here not aware of this? No, he doesn't look like such an amateur with no eyesight..”
This whiskey is not from the Dalmore brand..
In other words, serving Andre Hamilton with another brand of whiskey is not a mistake, but it is indeed rude..
Andre shrugged lightly and joked nonchalantly, "It seems that I still need to continue to work hard in the European market.".”
Arthur also showed a big smile, "This is the manor of Dominique-Desseigne. He is a very hospitable gentleman. Obviously, he entertained countless distinguished guests here. I have visited His wine cellar is really an eye-opener. I think Dalmo should also be included in the collection, but he only collects the best Dalmo. The problem is that our level has not reached the level yet..”
They don't deserve the most precious dharma.
Is this a compliment or a slander?？
Renly nodded slightly to express his understanding. Now he finally woke up his memory. Dominique Desagne, the current president of the Barriere Group, was also the gentleman who arranged hotel accommodation for Renly this time. "He is The protagonist who caused a sensation in Paris last year?？”
Both Andre and Arthur nodded meaningfully in affirmation, but Edith was confused and didn't know why..
“What, have you even heard of it? "Andre was slightly surprised, "I thought you were not interested in these gossips..”
“Eaton mentioned it. He and the lady are acquainted." Renly explained simply..
At the end of last year, a court case caused a sensation throughout France and even Europe..
Rachida- Dati, the former French Minister of Justice and current member of the European Parliament, was deeply involved in the famous brand scandal. She was suspected of using public funds to privately purchase a large number of luxury clothing, etc., as much as 180,000 euros during her tenure. After the storm, In 2009, the issue of having children out of wedlock once again became the focus of attention..
For this reason, the 47-year-old Razida revealed that the child's biological father is the 68-year-old Dominique Desagne, and most of her luxuries came from gifts from him. But Dominic After refusing to take a DNA test, the angry Razida filed a lawsuit against Dominic and demanded that Dominic be forced to undergo a DNA test..
Dominic directly broke the news in an interview that during Razida's pregnancy, he was just one of the guests. During the same period, Razida maintained ambiguous relationships with as many as eight men, including one TV presenter, a minister, a CEO, a former Spanish Prime Minister, a brother of former President Nicolas-Sarkozy, the Minister of Justice of Qatar and the heir to a luxury goods company.
After the news was announced, it caused a sensation throughout Europe. The problem was that Razida was unable to effectively refute, so a storm was set off in the entire political field, and everyone was in danger; and the upper class society was even more heated. Top luxury fashion brands including Eton-Domer are also involved.
Currently, there are no latest developments in the case.
According to French law, the man has the right to refuse DNA testing. Unless the woman can provide further substantial evidence to help the court make a determination and force the relevant testing to be completed, the case will remain stuck. However, overall, when the man continues to refuse Appraisal, the French court has the right to think that there is something fishy and make a judgment against the man..
“God, I feel like I'm on the wrong set. You guys are discussing gossip that I haven't heard of. Sorry, did I miss something? "Edith complained without any shame, and even rolled her eyes exaggeratedly..
Both Arthur and Andre cleared their throats awkwardly, pretended to drink, and avoided the topic..
But Renly looked at Edith calmly and said with a smile, "I thought you were getting used to it..”
The subtext refers to...Chris Evans, Chris Evans at the center of the world's biggest gossip.
